Yep! It’s on again this year @ Lake Weeroona at 6pm (ish) on Tuesday November 25th.  As per usual, BYO everything to eat (whether bbq or pizza or …bbq pizza!…) whatever takes your fancy.  All welcome!

L-R: Naval Cadets: Petty Officer Sophie Hamilton, Leading Seaman Leone Sevudredre, Leading Seaman Catherine Aikman, Lieutenant Commander Amy York, HMAS Cerberus and Reverend Peter Hastie, PTC.

Rev. Peter Hastie, Principal of the Presbyterian Theological College preached at our annual Seafarer’s (Naval) Service, from Acts 27 concerning the shipwreck the Apostle Paul endured on his journey to Rome. Peter asked the question, ‘How do you handle your worst fears?’ and then proceeded to provide encouragement from the way Paul trusted in God’s promises and plans in the most dangerous of situations, encouraging us to also ‘cast our anchors deep’ into the solid nature of those promises God gives us in His Word. (Unfortunately there was no sound recording due to an oversight.) The service was attended by members of Bendigo’s Ex-Navalmen’s Club, Lieutenant Commander Amy York, RAN, OAM, Cr Elise Chapman, Lisa Chesters MP and cadets from the TS Bendigo

Join us at St John’s on Sunday October 19th at 10:30am when we welcome members of the Bendigo ex-Navalmen’s Club (and their special guest, Lt. Com. Amy York, RAN), and the cadets in uniform!) and staff of the TS Bendigo for our Annual Naval Service. This year’s speaker is the Rev. Peter Hastie (pictured), Principal of the Presbyterian Theological College. Appropriately, Peter has chosen to speak on the account of the Apostle Paul’s shipwreck in Acts 27.  Morning tea follows in the hall. All are welcome

We are pleased that long-term Presbyterian missionaries, Dennis & Glenys Tranter (with AIM), who have worked extensively among the Aboriginal people of our land (particularly Borroloola in the Northern Territory), will be with us on September 27th and 28th.

Dennis will speak at the Men’s Fellowship at 8am on Sat 27th and Glenys will speak at the Ladies’ Brunch at 10am which follows on the same morning. Then on Sunday 28th, they will both share in the morning service, Dennis will preach and then they will share with us again over our regular monthly lunch in the hall. Come and join us!

We’ll be meeting together for prayer this coming Saturday, September 13th from 10am – 12:30pm in the Upper Room. All are welcome. Come and join with us. Come when you can, leave when you must!
