Cnr Gloucester & Chandler Sts ACACIA RIDGE
RIDGE OUTREACH – JUNE 2026
We started May with our Church Council meeting which went much more smoothly this time. Plans are being formulated for the Combined Congregations Christmas Carols service on 20th December.
The Mothers’ Day breakfast service was another roaring success, and we are really grateful for the delicious food and the music provided by our SDA congregation.
May had a few dramas: Terry Barker, and Mario’s father Joe have been moved into nursing homes; and the Larcombe’s are grieving the sad passing of Stephanie’s mother.
We are gradually improving the church technology, with the purchase of new remote microphones
Billie is slowly recovering from the severe leg injury sustained while playing Rugby Union early in February.

SIGNS ON CHURCH NOTICE BOARDS…….
For the best picture of the Father, don’t have your back to the Son.
The heart of prayer is prayer from the heart.
Fight truth decay – brush up on the Bible every day.
Bibles which are falling apart are usually read by people who aren’t.
Lord, help me to remember that nothing is going to happen to me today that you and I can’t handle.
If you know a person who has ten faults and one good quality, try to think as little of the faults as you can, and to make the most of his one good quality. And if you know a person who has ten virtues and one fault, praise him for the former and do all you can to forget the latter.
