Making a Difference - one life at a time

There's lots we can do to make a difference. Often it's in the simplest of ways. Jesus said offering a glass of water can do it.

Last Monday evening about 50 Christians from local churches - including about 20 from Nativity - met at Harling Park to pray for life in the face of suicide. That's about as simple as it gets. But so effective!


Encouraging Children is another way to make a difference - and an investment - and encouraging children to be encouraging moreso. It makes a difference in each one of their lives and those of the people they will interact with for decades to come.

This coming Sunday morning at our 8am and 10am services, a retiring offering will be taken as you leave. It's to help fly some children from Mota Lava, in Vanuatu's Banks Islands. They are going to bless (encourage!) other children on a small Torres Island in the most northern island group of Vanuatu. Those children believe they are forgotten by the world. 

Joseph Duve (pictured) who is working here at present is singing in our morning services on Sunday, and he's raising funds to fly them there. A number of you will remember him singing a few weeks ago. What a talent, and he writes his own songs as well as doing covers. 

It's interesting that we're starting to look at how God guides us from this Sunday. Ties in well.

Anyway, donations to partner with him to make a can be left in the foyer as you leave or you via our Parish Office or Jean Rooney by 12 November. (Thanks!!) See you Sunday.
