The foundation stone was lain by Archbishop of , Dr H W K Mowll on 6th March, 1954 in a well attended ceremony. The building took place over the next six months in time for a wonderful opening on 9th October, 1954. Bishop Hilliard opened the hall in front of dignitaries and a crowd of over 600 people and the celebrations continued into the night with a concert in the new venue. Since that date, the hall has had many uses and today, thanks to recent renovations, offers a great venue, which is used by a variety of community groups, as well as the parish. The new mosaic, marks the 6oth anniversary of the opening and will be a wonderful way to welcome visitors for years to come. – Judith Laurence

Take this pew sheet home and read it – or give it to someone who hasn’t been able to worship with us today. The celebrations for the 60th Anniversary of the hall were a resounding success.

The choir at the dedication service in 1954 also sang this Psalm. Many people came for the service and blessing only. Others came for the luncheon as well. It was wonderful for everyone to catch up over drinks and nibbles. There was a group from the 1950 – 1960’s who were present at the dedication in 1954 and also debutantes at cake with tea and coffee. The cake was cut by Barbara, wife of the late Fred Sanders, son of George and Freda Sanders (Rector at the time of the hall dedication. Thank you to Andrew Davies (St Paul’s ringing master) who guided us through the meal and celebration as M.C. There were many people involved for the success of the whole day. The mosaic creation was worked over one year of workshops, twice a week and involving 30 people under the tuition of visual artist and mosaic designer, Susanna Mills. The preparations for the hall, food, drink, power point presentation, historical display, flowers, history booklet, clearing and washing up, involved many people. A big thank you to all for this and for those who donated food, drink, time, energy and enthusiasm. It could not have been such a success without you all.

Thank you to those of you who have responded to the appeal for mittens and caps for the new born babies. We have made a good contribution to this appeal.

Mr Lin is rector of Fairfield with Bossley Park, where he has worked since 2001. “He has overseen the growth of the congrega- tions during that time and he knows the region well. He is a trusted servant of Christ, an able minister of the gospel, a respected elder among his peers, and one who has contributed to the strategic direction of the Diocese through his subcommittee work as a member of Standing Committee. I believe that Peter will make a significant contribution as a Regional Bishop as well as an Assistant Bishop in the Diocese as a whole.” Dr Davies said. Ministry Training The Archbishop made another significant announcement appointing the Reverend Gary O’Brien as Director of Ministry Training & Development (MT&D). “This is a very strategic position in the life of the Diocese as the Director oversees the development of all clergy and lay ministers from their departure from Moore College to their retirement. Currently MT&D is largely focused on the first three years after College, due to limited resources, a situation that the Synod will need to address if MT&D is to fulfil its mandate under its Ordinance.” the Archbishop said.

Exodus 33.12-23; Psalm 99 1 Thessalonians 1.1-10; Matthew 22.15-33 After a particularly rocky time of leading the Israelites, Moses asks of God a very bold thing: ‘Show me your glory!’ Not only does God agree, but God provides protection for Moses so that the divine glory does not overwhelm him. The powerful God, whose glory is more than humans can bear, is also compassionate in dealing with humanity. Pray that, when faced with difficult tasks, God’s presence may be felt in ways that empower us to accomplish God’s purposes.
