Singing Workshop, WA Eddie Legg
A team of worship leaders visited the Malaga church in Perth from 8–12 August. The group was led by John Wiegand, editor of the “Praise for the Lord” hymn book, and included James Tackett (editor of the paperless hymnal) and David, Daniel, and Jeni Falkenheim from America. Joining them were John Cooper and Nancy WuWon from Melbourne. Saturday and Sunday were filled with wonderful congregational singing and eating together. Saturday evening, we had about 50 brethren welcome the team with a BBQ and singing.
On Sunday we had two singing sessions after worship, as well as a potluck luncheon. Monday and Tuesday the team fellowshipped with various brethren and led song leading classes both evenings. The whole congregation was built up and encouraged by the time together.
Macquarie Lectureship, NSW. Rodger Tyers
Did three West Australians travel to Sydney in the middle of winter for the Bridge, Opera House, and Shows? We saw them, but our ‘Highlights’ were at the Macquarie Lectureship ‘I am not ashamed of the Gospel!’. Talks that provoked us to value the love of Jesus in dying for us, hold onto our trust in him, share Jesus’ love and salvation to all people, and know the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are always with the people of God.
We thank God for the encouraging time over 5 days (15–19 July), as we sang, prayed, ate, and shared our lives with each other. We were heartened equally by being reunited with brethren from a shared past, and meeting brethren for the first time. Our love and thanks to the hard work of the brethren involved and the amazing hospitality of those at Macquarie. God be with you all.
I am not ashamed of the gospel for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes …’ (Romans 1:16)
