"In His Hands"

An air of expectation and excitement was evident as 91 staff, clients and friends of the Doveton Community Support Services met together for our Easter worship service.

The reflective service, themed “In His Hands”, featured spirited community singing, meditative Bible readings in 3 languages and a KidZone children’s segment emphasizing the fact that God has the “whole world in His hands”.

While the children were busy at their activity tables, the adults focussed their thoughts on the true meaning for celebrating Easter – Jesus’ death and resurrection – with a reminder that in His ‘dying’ hands is our salvation and in His ‘risen’ hands is our eternal hope. Phil Laeger’s sensitive arrangement of I’m in His hands provided an opportunity for six people to come forward seeking personal prayer.

A time of fellowship over a Hot Cross Bun morning tea was a fitting conclusion to this inspirational and God-glorifying event.

Many thanks to our dedicated and supportive CSS team for their valuable assistance in making this event so successful. And thank you, Lord...for others are blessed through You alone!

ALL WELCOME!

Doveton CSS - The Challenge!

Ministry is exciting when we connect holistically with people from all races and walks of life. That's why I'm so excited about the ministry opportunities at Doveton. The Community Support Services staff are dedicated to providing the best care for all clients who access their services, and believe me - they do it well!



Doveton CSS is a busy multi-service, multicultural social welfare centre with a keen desire to be a credible 'integrated mission centre' of The Salvation Army, where practical expressions of social services and spiritual care impact the local community and foster hope and healing in the lives of those come seeking support.

My chaplaincy challenge, then, is to build meaningful relationships with people that bridge lcoal community needs as we seek to establish a new 'mid-week' worship and faith community in this vibrant social service 'mission' centre.

In the words of Jesus: "No chance at all if you think you can pull it off by yourself. Every chance in the world if you let God do it." (Mark 10:27, MSG)

The Challenge Of A New Beginning

Isaiah 48:6-7 ~ "[This is...] just the beginning. I have a lot more to tell you, things you never knew existed. This isn't a variation on the same old thing. This is new, brand-new, something you'd never guess or dream up. When you hear this you won't be able to say, 'I knew that all along."

These are words that come as a challenge to me for this specific point in my ministry journey. As I stand at the crossroads reflecting gratefully on where I've been and looking ahead in expectation of what God is going to do, I anticipate God's best.

Why? Here's the basis of my personal conviction:

God has always kept His Word through history. He continues to honour His promises in the present day. And He will forever remain reliable and trustworthy.

In the light of this very assurance, more than ever I'm confident that our new beginnings (no matter how challenging!) are always guaranteed to offer a 'more than sufficient' measure of God's grace to see us through - to a victorious & God-honouring outcome!

So Long, Farewell!

Our ministry at Inala Chapel came to a conclusion as we shared our final worship service with our beloved congregation. It concludes another chapter in our ministry journey - 7 years of aged care ministry. More importantly, we are able to praise God for 7 'blessed' years of personal and spiritual fulfilment as we've pursued God's 'ongoing' call in and through our lives.

So what does one share as a farewell message? I thought of no better way than to share three ‘pastoral prayer’ statements in the hope that they will continue to inspire a deeper 'Blessed Assurance' in the lives of those we have been privileged to journey with.

Below is a summary of what was shared.

1. BE CONSCIOUS OF GOD’S INDWELLING PRESENCE
Ephesians 1 verse 17: "I ask the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, to give you the Spirit, who will make you wise and reveal God to you, so that you will know Him."

God’s ‘Indwelling’ presence:
...is His gift to us!
...is our Greatest Guide!
...is the key to knowing Him!

2. BE MINDFUL OF GOD’S PROMISED EMPOWERMENT
Ephesians 1 verses 18-20: "I ask that your minds may be opened to see his light, so that you will know what is the hope to which he has called you, how rich are the wonderful blessings he promises his people, and how very great is his power at work in us who believe. This power working in us is the same as the mighty strength which he used when he raised Christ from death and seated him at his right side in the heavenly world."

God’s ‘Promised’ empowerment:
...is worth being aware of!
...is our personal reinforcement!
...is our key to living victoriously!

3. CONFIDENTLY PURSUE HOLY LIVING
2 Corinthians 13 verse 11b: "...strive for perfection (in Christ); listen to my appeals, agree with one another; live in peace (‘Inala’). And the God of love and peace will be with you."

Confidently ‘Pursue’ holy living:
...for it is God’s calling to us!
...for your corporate advantage!
...for your personal blessing!

Be conscious of God’s Indwelling Presence!
Be mindful of God’s Promised Empowerment! and...
Confidently pursue holy living!

If you take these to heart and live by them each day, you will experience God with you – always!

2 Corinthians 13:11a&14 - "And now, brethren, goodbye! ... May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."
