How was your weekend? Mine was big: I gave one of the talks at our Leader’s Day on Saturday and then preached across the day on Sunday. With Daylight Savings kicking in, it meant minimal sleep. But it’s all good.
If you missed the short story about the cute old couple below, make sure you check it out.

This post is dangerous. Why? Because it has the word ‘weekly’ included in the title. That means I’m aiming to post it – you guessed it – weekly! Perhaps I’m setting myself up for a #fail? We’ll see.
I’ve cut the automatic uploading of Instagram photos to this blog, but I’m still keen to share photos with those who aren’t following on Instagram.

We are leaving for Melbourne at the end of the month.
Please join us from 7pm on Wednesday 13 August to say goodbye at our St Faith’s farewell. The night will also include Dave getting Ordained as a Presbyter by the Anglican Bishop of North Sydney.
All are welcome. If you can RSVP on the Facebook Event, that’d be helpful.
Contact office@stfaiths.org.au if you can help with supper.
St Faith’s address: 5-9 Clarke Street Narrabeen NSW 2101.
Our final weekend in church will be 16-17 August. Dave will be preaching at all services.
After four years of life and ministry in Narrabeen, it was announced at church a couple of weeks ago that we will be finishing up in August and moving to… Melbourne!
We love our church family at St Faith’s Narrabeen and have loved sharing Jesus with our local community. There are still so many people on the Northern Beaches and all over Sydney who desperately need to turn to Jesus and find life. But we are convicted of the need for people to meet Jesus outside of Sydney too.
Saying goodbye to St Faiths is fast approaching and it’s sad to be leaving. I love my job, the location, my colleagues and most of all the people we serve. In 1 Thessalonians 2:8 Paul speaks about how he has not only shared the gospel but his life with a people that have become dear to him. It’s been such a privilege to share our lives with many precious brothers and sisters at church and other friends in the local community.
As well as leaving Soulies Youth Community, I’m also sad about moving out of frontline youth ministry. I have been freed up from normal work for over 10 years to invest full-time in reaching teenagers. However, while I won’t be a youth minister, my passion for reaching the next generation with the message of Christ remains the same.
I am joining the team of Pastors at City on a Hill, a church based in the CBD of Melbourne.
In the short term, I am looking forward to being part of the team and using our gifts in whatever way we can to serve God’s people and make Jesus known in Melbourne.
God willing, in the medium term, I will lead a City on a Hill church plant. So I hope to become part of the City on a Hill family, learn from the team, grow in my leadership and be sent out to continue knowing Jesus and making Jesus known.

Please pray for our family in the transition moving from Sydney to Melbourne. Pray that we would finish well at St Faith’s and pray in particular that God would continue to provide solid leadership for the youth community after we leave.
