In 1988 Greg Louganis was the hot favourite to win the springboard diving event at the Seoul Olympics. He was the defending champion and the 1986 world champion. When he attempted one of his signature dives a reverse 2½ pike, he hit his head on the springboard, badly injuring his head. Way behind on points, he new he had to pull out a special dive to remain in contention. He repeated the reverse 2½ pike. In an incredible comeback, he received a perfect score for the dive, and he went on to win the gold medal.
Commentators were astounded, and asked him what went through his mind as he prepared for the second reverse 2½ pike dive. He answered, “No matter what sort of dive I did, I knew my mum stilll loved me”.

The Heart of Our Church
4 years ago

Back in 2002 our Parish celebrated its 150th year of ministry. Throughout our history, Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection has been our central focus. The new life of forgiveness that He makes available still lies at the heart of our church.
Today we celebrate the confession of 10 of our young people; Lauren Allon, Amy Davis, Kaitlyn Dixon, Andrew Farrugia, Nathan Farrugia, Karoleena Ivanov, Stuart Jansen, Melanie Rooke, Lauren Rouse & Leesa Tomlinson, as they declare that Jesus is Lord and Saviour.
This coming week the new building task groups are gathering to prepare detailed expansion plans. Stay tuned for the exciting improvements they have proposed!
Our resolve to offer Jesus Christ to Dapto is not diminished by the challenges facing us:
when someone needs spiritual direction,
let us be the first place they turn;
when people are looking for hope,
let them find it with us
when the community needs heart,
let our heart beat the loudest.
