please say a prayer for me now
If you’re the praying kind, I have a big week, with a number of events that will generate some adrenaline and stress in me and could be quite significant for mission in South/Australia.
On Tuesday I am speaking all day to the Anglican Clergy Conference of South Australia. My three topics are
- Defining fresh expressions
- Leading and fresh expressions
- Diversity and fresh expressions
On Thursday and Friday I am hosting a gathering to workshop the national missionshaped ministry course. There are folk coming from Tasmania, Sydney, Canberra.
On Saturday I speak at the Lutheran Synod of South Australia. This includes a keynote on titled Mission Shaped Ministry – Equipping for the Future and an elective, on Fresh Expressions of Church
On Sunday I preach at the combined Uniting churches of Flerieu Peninsula celebration, to preach and talk about the new directions in mission and leadership being undertaken by Uniting College.
(Then next Monday I fly to Perth for 3 days. In between I have two three hour Masters classes. It all feels exciting and daunting and I’ll certainly be glad of a break at the end.)
)
Just remember that wherever you go and whatever you do, God is there before you. Enjoy your busy week!
Shalom, Maureen
