Cry. Forgive. Learn. Move on. Let your tears water the seeds of your future happiness

On Sunday we had the final YAK for the term with the Fairholme girls participating in the worship service to show off the project they have completed in the last month. The girls planted birdseed as a metaphor for life three weeks ago, and were shocked at just how fast it grew and bloomed. What a great Easter message!
It is my last week this week working here and I was farewelled at both services yesterday. I have decided to take some time off to focus on my Master’s thesis. I have learned much from this position and want to thank everyone who helped out and got excited about community development in our church!
Next week Ross, our new Children Youth and Families leader will commence work. We wish him the best of luck and look forward to his involvement and many more parachute games :)
The Annual Congregational Meeting was held yesterday, and included elections for elder and councillor positions. More information will be released as we hear it, keep an eye on the news sheet.
We are organising a group of young people to attend Easterfest together, if you are interested in joining us please contact me on a-macdonald2011@hotmail.com
