One month in Melbourne!

I can't believe that a month has passed since we arrived in Melbourne. It has been a good change for us. We are happy with the new life that God has given us and we are ready to move ahead in life and in the ministry of the church.
The people of St. David's are great and have been very kind and good to us since we came. There are many things to be done in St. David's. Some of us are setting up a focus group to plan and work for the future of the church. If we dont do something today, the church will inevitably be closed in the future. Pray for the church with us...

A wonderful welcome!

We arrived in Melbourne all tired and blank, but with some amount of excitement still left after the long flight on airasia. The regional bishop here and a colleague here came to receive us at the Melbourne airport. When we arrived at the vicarage of St. David's which would be our home for some years from now on; there were some parishioners waiting to help us settle. The fridge was full with cooked and frozen food for a week, the groceries were also plenty in the cabinet. The welcome was so warm and thoughtful. We felt at ease!

Monday, 1st March was my induction/commissioning to St. David's and St. Christopher's. It was a beautiful service conducted by Bishop Paul White and attended by almost 12 clergy from the deanery. Followed by a wonderful dinner with dishes brought by parishioners of both the parishes.

Today, 2nd March, joined the Mother's Union fellowship and meeting. Shared some testimony and thoughts, was a good time I would say.
