JESUS, COME AND STAND AMONG US

1. When disciples were frightened,
so confused that he was dead,
Jesus came and stood among them:
"Peace be with you!" he said.

He is risen, risen!
He was dead but now he lives.
We were lost but he has found us
with the life he gives.

2. Can we see you, can we touch you
like disciples long ago?
Would it make any difference?
Do we doubt what we know?

3. Jesus, come and stand among us,
show yourself to us again.
We will speak what you tell us,
we will go where you send.

Based on John 20:19-31

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.
