The Difference A Few Days Make

One of the great ANZAC heroes is Simpson. He discovered a donkey in a deserted hut in Anzac Cove and spent 3 weeks venturing out into a dangerous valley called Shrapnel valley and carrying wounded men back to safety. He was killed by machine gun fire but his legend has lived on.
The great hero of Christianity is Jesus. He ventured into this world from heaven and spent 3 intense years travelling around Palestine. His life was dedicated to all of humanity. He wanted us to return to safety, into God our Creator’s arms. The three days he was dead in the tomb were the days he spent bearing our shame and punishment.
Surpassing Simpson, Jesus came back to life, offering eternal safety and life. It is good to remember the sacrifice of our forebears in the armed services but even more so we should appreciate the sacrifice of Jesus our Lord and Saviour.

The Development Application (DA) documentation for the DAC Auditorium was finally complete!
The next step for us is to go to the Diocesan Architectural Panel Meeting on Tuesday 21st April at 3pm. At this meeting a group of local architects, quantity surveyors, builders etc together with the Archdeacon should approve the project for submission to Wollongong City Council for approval.
