16th September 2020 - Week 26

Hi there MNLCC Family,

I hope you are enjoying the warmer spring weather. It is good to see the sun and get out into the fresh air a little more often.

This is “Marriage Week” and we are celebrating God‟s ideal plan for families. No matter how good your marriage is, there is always room for making it better. Focus on the Family Australia is focusing on marriage this week, and I would strongly recommend that you check out their web-site which has some wonderful resources and ideas for giving your marriage that extra “spark”. Joe and I have registered for the “virtual date night,” and can‟t wait to dress up, make a marvellous meal and enjoy a “night in” with other couples from all over Australia. Here is the link. https://www.families.org.au/ . I have mentioned the Focus on the Family website before, but if you are a parent, or family of any shape or size, this site is full of wonderful resources for you and your family.

Wherever your marriage, or your family is up to, remember, God loves you and values you just for who you are, and that our homes should be a place of love, safety and security. As 1 Corinthians 16:14 says, “Do everything in love”.

At the time of writing this article, we are still waiting for an announcement about easing restrictions in rural Victoria. We are looking forward to being able to meet together soon, even if only in small groups. To this end, we are in the process of calling each of you for a short “survey” to give us an idea of who would like to be involved in a small connect group, either by zoom, or in person as restrictions begin to ease. We look forward to your responses to our survey.

I also would like to encourage you to join with the CRC Churches International day of prayer and fasting on Thursday 24

th September, praying for our state and

an end to the Covid-19 pandemic, and healing and restoration, and Spiritual renewal for the people of Victoria. We at MNLCC will be joining in our own zoom prayer meeting on Thursday night from 7.00 till 8.00 pm. If you would like to join us, here is the zoom link, or I can send you an invitation by email. Don‟t forget you can always join with us on Wednesday mornings at 8.00 am.

In the meantime, keep leaning into the Lord, our strong tower, our rock and our fortress. Why don‟t you take a little mini retreat and meditatively read through Psalm 31. “Be of good courage, and he will strengthen your heart.” God bless and keep you in his perfect care.

Love and blessings, Glenda
