During the last 2 weeks Julie Irving, our Preschool Director, has been co-ordinating with Lyndall Bailey to achieve some great partnerships and improvements in the Preschool. Since we have decided to keep the Centre, necessary long term maintenance issues needed to be addressed. Parents, Contractors, Parishioners and staff, all got involved. The value of the work is much greater than the dollars expended!
Next Sunday, there will be an open day for parishioners to walk through and see the transformation that has occurred.
Over the last 6 months our Youth Musical Team have been preparing the show they performed over the last 3 nights. The cohesion, team spirit and enjoyment they conveyed in their wonderful performance gave great testimony to the God they serve. It was inspiring to see our Young people work together so well!

Last weekend the announcement to restrict the new building project to the most immediate priorities of auditorium, foyer, café facility and associated young children’s amenities has seen heart-warming levels of support and affirmation. The most typical responses have included terms like “responsible”, “open to God’s leading”, “good leadership”, “necessary”, “appropriate to circumstances” and “timely”.
We are aiming to establish new concept plans over the next few weeks and will conduct focus groups (after the school holidays) to receive your input similar to the way the original plan was determined.
The vision of reaching Dapto and the wider Illawarra for Jesus has not diminished. We look to God to continue focusing our attention on the opportunities He lays before us. We pray that not our will but His will be done, and that we will have the faith to accomplish things according to His wisdom and not our impatience.

I love my “Ugg” Boots! Anyone who has seen them will probably wonder why they are worn and tatty. However they are my most comfortable footwear. My feet feel warm and “at home” in them. It’s what is inside that counts!
As we finish our journey in the book of Romans, we have before us, examples of great disciples of Jesus. They partnered with Paul and therefore with Jesus. They served out of their heartfelt devotion. As they grasped the blessings that came their way, they shared blessings with others.
We share the call to partner with Jesus, to join in Paul’s mission and to live lives of joyful obedience to God. There is no better way to live a life of meaning, purpose and celebration.
