A regional group of congregations in Georges River, Sydney held a dinner in May, with guest speaker, Pastor Grahame Abrahams giving a message of encouragement and challenge to be involved in the work of reform and renewal. All members are encouraged to meet each other, encourage local networks, and support in their region. You do not have to wait for the national officers to organise a local gathering, but please contact your state committee when events are planned so help can be provided.
An enthusiastic group of Tongan members from 9 different congregations (none ACC congregational members yet) met for worship and a time of celebration on Saturday July 14 at Rodger Page UC, Auburn. Revd Sione Alo Fakahua preached on the texts Amos 7; 14-15 and Acts 22:21 at the inspiring service which had several choirs. The guest speakers were Revd Dr Max Champion and Revd Dr Gordon Moyes AC. All the speakers encouraged commitment to the work of reform and renewal in the church and above all a commitment to Jesus Christ and the truth revealed in Scripture. The Tongan members were commended for their faithfulness in standing firm within the Uniting Church and their encouragement of support for the work of the ACC.
Over 60 ACC members were among 70 people registered at the Wesley Institute full day seminar on 11th August, hearing two keynote bible messages from Dr Jim Harrison, and learning about resources for ACC congregations and members. It was great to see several people who had travelled down or up from regional NSW areas.
ACC members in the Hunter region have now established a good group of interested people and are meeting regularly to support each other, and with prayer for local needs. If you would like further information the contact is Alton Bowen: 4957 2722 (home & work), 4957 3533 fax & 0412 789 557 mobile.
