This morning we welcomed Alfonso as our new ministry assistant, and Siriwan, his wife, who will support him in his new role. We are blessed to have them.
Steve Macwen, from Sunday School read the scripture beautifully. This was the first time he has participated in this way. Well done Stevie. His salvationist relations in India will be so proud of him, as are his parents here and our church family.

Our men's breakfast was a most enjoyable morning with Ian Shanks, our local pharmacist and Salvationist, as guest speaker.
Ian is passionate about health care, but as well as helping his own community, he is transforming a community on the other side of the world through his Fullife Foundation. The Fullife Foundation is an Australian non-profit organization based in Melbourne that works to improve the health and well-being of women and children in Ethiopia. It operates by connecting donor networks and partners—such as local community initiatives and pharmacies—with grassroots health and immunisation projects on the ground.
Donations can be made to the Foundation through any Fullife Pharmacy.

Our theme for our ladies fellowship today was about Roses. We explored much to do about the history, meanings, colour and cultivation and use of roses. For Afternoon tea we had rose flavoured biscuits and some rose jelly and cream. We also made fragrant rose scented pot pourri sachets to remind us of the beautiful fragrance of a rose.
