They're here!!!
At 5.55am today Moses' four brothers and his sister touched down in Melbourne to join their brother for a new life in Asutralia. After one hiccup after another there was much rejoicing and thanksgiving as we met these amazing young people. The weary travellers were supposed to arrive at 12.30am but at about 2.30am we discovered they had been stranded in Dubai. Unable to contact anyone at that hour we had a nervous wait for the next flight and thank God for answering our prayers and delivering them!
What a day! Forty-five minutes sleep in 48 hours and a family expanding from 4 to 9 in the blink of an eye! (It'll be 10 in a few weeks!)
The entourage of supportive friends couldn't contain themselves - declaring that God is indeed great!
Enjoy these couple of photos - hopefully there'll be more in the Shepp News on Monday.

For Sunday 14th September - 8.30am
Just a quick note this week to advise that Divine Service will begin at 8.30am this Sunday (14/9).
Also an update for those who are waiting for news - IOM have confirmed that after the hiccup of last week, Moses' siblings will be boarding a plane at 4.15pm in Kampala today (11/9) and God willing, will arrive in Melbourne at 12.30am on the 13th September. Please keep them in your prayers as they make this final leg of what has been a long journey.
God's peace,
Pastor Matt

For Sunday 7th September - 11.00am
As we remember our earthly fathers this Sunday we will also have a chance to consider how it is that we are blessed to have a heavenly Father.
While we all clearly fail to live up to the 'rules of the family', we who have 'put on Christ' in holy baptism (Romans 13:8-14) have also received adoption and acceptance into the family of God. As those who have been forgiven in Jesus we are therefore freed to come before God with the confidence of children who come to their Father for all they need.
This blessing will become a reality in the life of Caleb Grosser during our service as he becomes a child of our heavenly Father through water and the word.
Divine service will begin at 11.00am.
God's peace,
Pastor Matt
