Devotion Thought Term Dates for 2020
The Beatles wrote a song, “All You Need is Love.” Love is a Term 1: Tuesday, January 28 to Friday, April 3
wonderful and complex thing. There are so many ways we Term 2: Monday, April 20 to Friday, June 19
can show our love for friends and family. But what about love Term 3: Monday, July 13 to Friday, September 18
for the stranger? Or someone new to our community? It is a Term 4: Tuesday, October 6 to Friday, December 4
challenge, but a good one to have. We are reminded in the (Year 12 finishes on Friday, November 20)
bible the importance of welcoming the stranger. Let that be a Welcome Pastor Geoff and Family
call to action for us throughout 2020 and beyond…If not you,
then who? Despite threatening weather and high humidity, the installation
of Pastor Geoff Johnston went ahead last Sunday with more
than 150 Alberton parishioners and members of the LORDS
community in attendance.
Following the service, guests enjoyed afternoon tea and
the opportunity to connect within our community. We wish
Pastor Geoff, his wife Kellie and daughter Mia every blessing
as they start their service in the Alberton Parish and LORDS
Community.
