Next Year...

Dear Applicant,

In the event of a favourable response from the Governing Board of Moore College in regard to your College Application, attached is an Invitation to the Welcome BBQ by the Student Orientation Committee. This is a great time to meet the Faculty, ask any questions you may have to current students andto meet your future class mates.

God Bless

odd???


________________

I do find the above odd... but find much of this process odd, as I have been offered & accepted a Student Minister Position next year at CBTB (Church by the Bridge, Kirribilli) which I am heaps exicted about, yet it's not completely confirmed that I am accepted yet!

Anyway assuming I will recieve my favourable response, after 2 years of MTS at St Matthias, I will be returning to CBTB, where I’ll be involved in '18-24s ministry' and ‘community outreach’.

I am really confused by my emotions at the moment, of the gloomy reality to not be at church with those I have laboured for the gospel alongside, with and for during the last two years and the excitement of heading to college and starting new things!

I have loved all the varied contexts of sharing the gospel and my life... especially with my TAT ladies, my SWITCH girls, my PULSE girls and my Randwick Girls' girls. And it especially pains me to think I will miss out on the joy of closley seeing God at work in these women.

Thanks for your prayers and support of the past two years as I have MTS'ed... I do look forward to continued partnership in the gospel as I begin my study adventure & CBTB!

And please do pray as I finish up at Matthias, to wrap things up well and please ask God that he might provide people to take on some of the things I have been responsible for. Please ask Him to provide leaders for Matthias who are passionate about the Jesus, people and His word!

Hayley, Trust me it's good training to be uprooted and see different ministry, even though you are return from whence you started.

The Lord provides leaders for churches - maybe more people will be pushed to be leaders too, which can be good.

I agree with Rachel too - God does provide people to do his work and it is good that others might have to "step up" :)
