GATHERED

1. Gathered we are together. Is it the last goodbye? Bread & wine for the way ahead
— angel lullaby.
Gathered we are together. We are invited here. Come, for everything’s been prepared.
Christ, the Saviour, is near.
Take, this is for you. Drink, this word is true Angels sing. Praise the king!
Everything is new.

2. Gathered they were together. It was their last goodbye. In the darkness the soldiers came —
Jesus asking why.
Gathered they were together, mystery filled the air — blood and body in wine and bread,
’Peace I give you to share’.
Take, this is for you. Drink, this word is true Angels sing. Praise the king!
Everything is new.

3. Gathered we are together. History disappears. Saints & angels of every time
all surround us here.
Gathered we’ll be together for all eternity, with the angels we‘ll praise the Lamb: now creation is free, all creation is free, all creation is free.

ALWS 5/10/23

To say I've been inactive on my website is a serious understatement! I've written nothing here since early 2021. 

So, does this mean the world has stopped for us, that nothing is happening?
A major event for us in 2022 was moving house in October. We had been in Modbury Heights since July 1993.Now we're back in Klemzig.

In May we travelled to the Mentawai Islands in Indonesia, seeing work supported by Australian Lutheran World Service. Dorothy and I are Ambassadors for the ALWS programme, Lives You Touch. We are encouraging people to leave money in their will for the work of ALWS. We committed to leave a third of our will many years ago and hope many others can touch lives in this way.
Since then we have visited Box Hill & Loxton with Jonathan & Julie Krause as part of the Asante presentations, promoting the cause of ALWS. Still to come this year are Asante events in Toowoomba & Rochedale (Nov 26 & 27) and Perth (Dec 10)

Looking forward to seeing many people on these occasions.
