Prayer Points Please find a copy of the weekly news on the notice board.
If you are interested in a copy, please talk to Carol or Darran Lang.
Please advise an Elder, Pastoral Carer, the Minister, Associate Minister, or Colleen Brooks if you are aware of a situation where elderly people, people living alone, or families where the principal caterer is unable to perform their role due to illness or hospitalisation, may need a meal and they will approach the individual member concerned to ask whether a meal or two would be acceptable during their illness. They will advise the Coordinator of Meals, Shirley Hudson, of the situation and she will then contact people prepared to make meals. The individual preparing the meal is also responsible for delivery or ensuring that someone else is able to deliver the meal. There are not regular calls on those assisting but it is a caring service that helps other members who are in temporary need as we minister in God’s name. For further information, or if you are interested in joining the team to prepare meals, please contact Carleeta or Kelvin Dickens. 14 November 2010

Dernancourt Uniting Church 5 The Advent Celebration is on 28 November. Are you thinking of what you can do/make for our display? No ideas? Perhaps you could make an Advent calendar or wreath, or design a card/find a photo which expresses hope, love or peace, or make a decoration depicting one of the Advent symbols. More ideas especially about the Advent symbols, decorations can be found on the following websites - www.christiancrafters.com/craft- wreath-chrismons.html www.crivoice.org/symbols/ ornaments.html http://mysite.ncnetwork.net/ stlukeep/advent/traditions.html We plan to share together our many gifts over a cabaret-style lunch after the special Advent service. Any questions, please contact Jenny Charlesworth. Can You Help? Advent Celebration Adult Evening Fellowship A Sudanese family in a local church has a son in Year 9 who is needing tutoring/coaching to help him with homework once a week. He lives in Klemzig/Windsor Gardens. This would suit a uni student, recent student, or a retired person. If you think you can help or would like more information, please contact Clive Harrison. Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet it is the law of all progress That it is made by passing through some stages of instability … And that it may take a very long time.
And so I think it is with you. Your ideas mature gradually … let them grow.
Let them shape themselves, without undue haste. Don’t try to force them on, as though you could be today what time (that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will) will make you tomorrow.
Only God could say what this new spirit, gradually forming within you will be. Give our Lord the benefit of believing that his hand is leading you, And accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete.
Teilhard de Chardin, S.J. 1881-1955 Our next meeting is on this coming Wednesday night, 17 November, at 8.00 pm. The first part of the meeting will be the Annual General Meeting. A mystery auction will follow and members are asked to bring a wrapped gift to the value of $5.00 to be auctioned. Devotions—Ian Lohmeyer Supper—Colleen Brooks, Sue Carter, Margaret Pollard 6 Dernancourt Uniting Church 14 November 2010 Office Hours— Tues, Thurs 10.00 am—12 noon Rev Ian Lohmeyer is not available on Mondays.

May God bless you with anger At injustice, oppression and exploitation of people, So that you may work for justice, freedom and peace. May God bless you with tears To shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger, and war, So that you may reach out your hand to comfort them And turn their pain into joy. And may God bless you with enough foolishness To believe that you can make a difference in the world, So that you can do what others claim cannot be done To bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor. Amen

Dernancourt Uniting Church 7 Nehemiah 8:1-3, 5-12 When the seventh month came—the people of Israel being settled in their towns—all the people gathered together into the square before the Water Gate. They told the scribe Ezra to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had given to Israel. Accordingly, the priest Ezra brought the law before the assembly, both men and women and all who could hear with understanding. This was on the first day of the seventh month. He read from it facing the square before the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women and those who could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law.
And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was standing above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up. Then Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God, and all the people answered, “Amen, Amen,” lifting up their hands. Then they bowed their heads and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground. Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, the Levites, helped the people to understand the law, while the people remained in their places. So they read from the book, from the law of God, with interpretation. They gave the sense, so that the people understood the reading. And Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, “This day is holy to the LORD your God; do not mourn or weep.” For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law. Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions of them to those for whom nothing is prepared, for this day is holy to our LORD; and do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, “Be quiet, for this day is holy; do not be grieved.” And all the people went their way to eat and drink and to send portions and to make great rejoicing, because they had understood the words that were declared to them. Ephesians 1:3-10 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love. He destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace that he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and insight he has made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ, as a plan for the fullness of time, to gather up all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
