Mark 6:12 (NRSV) 2018 ..........from Henry For many people humility doesn’t register on their list of personal goals. It’s assumed that being humble means being willing to be stepped on. Who needs that? Jesus shows us the ultimate example of humility. God’s Word tells us, “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant” (Philippians 2:5–7). Jesus demonstrated the greatest humility of all. Though eternally with the Father, He chose to bend beneath a cross in love so that through His death He might lift any who receive Him into the joy of His presence. We imitate Jesus’s humility when we seek to serve our heavenly Father by serving others. Jesus’s kindness helps us catch a breathtaking glimpse of the beauty of setting ourselves aside to attend to others’ needs. Aiming for humility isn’t easy in our “me first” world. But as we rest securely in our Saviour’s love, He will give us everything we need to follow Him.

Bev, Helen, Jill, and Cheryl(fund-raising committee) Pastoral Care Workshops The fourth and final workshop on Pastoral Care was held recently at St. Benedict’s. Although largely aimed at our MD Licenced Lay Ministers and clergy, it was attended also by other members of the Ministry District and one member of the Uniting Church. Those who attended found the course to be really interesting and helpful and we all gained further insight into pastoral care. Our Diocesan Ministry Development Officer, Gael Johannsen, led the workshops and she will continue to offer courses throughout the Diocese, including on Yorke Peninsula. We hope to have “The Day of Luke” on Friday 9 th November at St. Benedict’s. This will be open to all members of the Ministry District and focuses on the readings for 2019 in the Year of Luke. Rev’d Anne Mothers’ Union On Wednesday 13th June, St Benedict’s Mothers’ Union held a meeting at the home of Bev and Deane Litster. Twenty four members and friends attended to hear Bob Warren talk on Israel and the surrounding nations. He and Sue went on holidays in August about 6 years ago and the temperature was 49.9C degrees most days. Bob wanted to go when it was warm! He told of the many soldiers with guns on guard everywhere they went. They visited the religious sites and found them very moving. They also went into a darkened room and then the ceiling lit up with over one million stars representing the Jewish children killed in the holocaust and every child’s name was recited. Bob still gets emotional when telling the story. They also went through the Sahara Desert with an armoured car in front of them and one behind them and an armed guard on the mini bus they had hired. It was a very profound and interesting talk and we say thank you to Bob for sharing this with us. Afternoon tea and fellowship followed. Lorraine Rice, MU President The next Chat n Chew will be th held on Friday the 17 August at 10.00am at the Rectory.

Andrew Lang & Louise Our journey up to now… Andrew was born in Melbourne, raised in Geelong and returned to Melbourne for Uni. His parents are from South Australia. In 1980, Andrew moved to Tasmania, to work at Temco (part of BHP). Here he had the opportunity to live on a small holding on the Tamar river. It was here that Louise and Andrew met and married. Louise grew up in Launceston, Tasmania. After a fairly regular schooling she worked towards a qualification in education. This was interrupted slightly by her marriage to Andrew and then later by the birth of their first child, Oswald.
