We are really enjoying being in Australia….the thing that we miss the most are family – both physical and spiritual….most days I walk to Lane Cove library, where I am currently doing most of my writing. As you can see it is a beautiful walk. This week as I was walking down in beautiful sunshine I listened to this service from St Peters on the 25th of March. I don’t know what it was but its probably the best service I have heard online…I even found my Presbyterian hands being inadvertently raised and singing out loud! I think some people in the posh gardens were a wee bit startled – as were the workmen on the road!
Everything about it was superb….from Owen’s dulcet tones in leading; David Ellis’s beautiful prayer which deeply moved me; Sinclair’s interaction with the children; the scripture readings; the whole hearted praise led by Dave and an excellent group of musicians; the acapella psalm led by Stephen; to the wonderful sermon from Sinclair on John 12:12-21. I have since listened to the whole service again and it lifted my soul. I hope it has the same effect for you…
