Weekly message from Father Ed
Saturday, May 26, 2012 at 4:49PM Greetings,
Next Sunday we are to be invaded once more for the annual Albany Car Classic, better known to you and me as the ‘let’s make it difficult to get to church’ day! Of course, being in the middle of the city does mean that from time to time we will be in the middle of the action, and we have to accommodate that.
Why I write about it though, is to encourage you to attend church next weekend, even though it will require more effort than usual. As you know, there is no service at 9.30am on Sunday, but instead we have the service at 5.00pm on Saturday evening. This is the service that the choir attend, and is early enough so as to not interfere with your regular Saturday night activities.
On Sunday morning the usual 8.00am service is held, although we don’t stop for morning tea, unless you want to stay for the day! If you are coming to 8.00am, by car, please ignore the road closed sign on Vancouver St / Collie St, and drive through to the church car park.
It is crucial that we show that we are not going to close down just because some people want to hold an event. We are here, we are staying, and we provide an ongoing witness. So come and ensure we make our presence noticed.
By the way, Rev John will be celebrating the Holy Communion that morning as he celebrates 57 years of ordained ministry, and still living for Jesus.
God bless you,
Edward
