The Power Source
As our homes are increasingly becoming smart homes, we have phones that control our lights, our power, can turn on alarms, tv’s or the oven. We can play music through speakers throughout our house. We can open and close doors and gates. We can even walk into our temperature controlled environment as we get home […]
A Realistic Hope
Last month I talked about hope being an essential ingredient of a meaningful life, and over the next few months I want to look at three vital questions relating to the nature of hope. The first important question is this: Is our hope realistic? This month the biggest sporting event of the year will begin […]

I’m sure you’d agree that this year is flying by very quickly. An old saying states that ‘time flies when you’re having fun’ but in 2018, time seems to be flying whether you’re having fun or not!! Our family enjoyed catching up with our wider network during the Christmas season and again at Easter time […]
The Power of Hope
Hope is essential to meaningful life. That principle is reflected in various sayings such as: ‘Hope springs eternal in the human breast.’ and ‘While there’s life, there’s hope.’ The reverse is also true. If you shatter a person’s dreams, if you take away an individual’s hopes, if you remove that element of anticipation from life, […]
Galston Uniting Church
Sunday Family Service 10am It’s not every day that you see a pony in church, even at Galston Uniting (although this has happened before). However, it did happen on Palm Sunday, the week before Easter, as Palm Sunday coincided with “Messy Church”! With the addition of some especially constructed ears, two ponies became donkeys (or […]
Choose extraordinary!
I’m not sure if it’s my age, a greater awareness, or a sign of the times … but I see so much brokenness. People consigned to just living out their life, as if this is acceptable. That a life without love, joy and peace are almost to be expected. There seems an overwhelming dissatisfaction across […]

4. The Holy Spirit will develop Christ in us. The Holy Spirit comes to reproduce the character of Jesus Christ within us and to make the Lordship of Christ a reality in every area and experience of our lives. The apostle Paul often spoke of this particular work of the Spirit. He told the Galatians […]
So Many Meanings
I truly admire the families who have come to live in our beautiful country of Australia and who take time to learn our language. Their young people learn English at school while their older family members go to TAFE to study English as a Second Language for two or maybe even three years. They work […]
St Benedict’s Fete – A huge success
We were blessed with brilliant sunshine for our fete on Sunday 11 March and it was a wonderful community event. The chocolate wheel span right through the day, dispensing prizes to lots of happy winners. The cakes were snapped up – our home bakers have a great reputation – and happy shoppers bought craft items, […]

Every believer is sealed by the Spirit. Ephesians 4 :30 states: ’Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God with whom you have been sealed for the day of redemption’. By this action we are stamped with the sign of God’s ownership, a mark which remains until we are taken home to Heaven. The very […]
