1. Koorong Clergy breakfast
I know its weird and not really a church thing but i went along to this breakfast at koorong (christian book shop) and met a whole bunch of ministers from other local churches. It was AWESOME! there were of course some slightly odd types but i met some lovely people who just started at marsfield community church and the minister and MTS dude from the anglican church up the road. I was so encouraged to see people just doing their thing to serve God. Good work Koorong - i'll forgive you for some of your shocking book selections.
2. MCCCEB Dinner
MCCCEB stands for the Macquarie Combined Christian Churches education board. They fundraise and employ scripture teachers at the local high school. I was invited to their 25th anniversary dinner to perform the commisioning service for the teachers for this year. It was GREAT! the chairman in married to the fabulous office lady at church and it was wonderful to see thair passion and to chat to a bunch of older christians from a variety of churches about seeing Jesus taught at high schools. you dont have to be young to care about young people.
3. Hospitality
I had my first people from church over for dinner last night and it was really fun. One couple live 2 doors up and they are from Iran. It was really cool to learn about Iran and Persian culture and learn more about them. They are just learning english so its a bit hard for them but so lovely and so cool that they want to know more about Jesus. The other couple were a lovely couple from morning church, very nice peeps. AND my middle eastern orange cake turned out well for dessert :)
