SECURE DIARY OF THE DAVE AND KRISTIN CLAN
D1 boarded a plane last Tuesday evening for the long flight home to Eastern
Europe. There are some tough decisions to be made re staff and funding for
their work in the capital city.
D2 is feeling optimistic and well cared for by her church and has enjoyed D4 being with her and the
other two kids this last week. She posts regularly on Facebook.
D3 (19) has settled well into his New College room at UNSW and has begun his engineering studies.
D4 (16) has still to make some friends at her new boarding school, about a two hour bus trip from her
mother, but mum thinks she is doing well.
D5 (14) and D6 (11) are living with mum and have started school there. D6 has less Norwegian than
his sisters but is coping at school.

HELPERS NEEDED FOR COMMUNION (easiest job ever) Communion is
now prepackaged into individual packs, so all you need to do is put the
packets onto trays and pop a couple of trays upstairs and some downstairs,
help serve the congregational members at the appropriate time in the
service and pop the remainder away after the service. Denise can give you
all the information you need, call her 0425 208 938 or email
JOIN OUR CLEANING CLEAN— In order to care for one another and make the church as
safe as possible for those using it after us, we will need cleaning teams to spray and wipe
down surfaces after the services. Everything will be supplied and should take 15 to 20
minutes. It would be great to have these rosters filled for each service.
Call Denise 9541 0990 or 0425 208 938 to add your name to your
service roster.
DAILY DEVOTIONALS Bruce will continue to write short weekday devotionals based on the
past weekend’s sermon to help us reflect on what we are learning until the end of the year.
We give thanks for his willingness to do this for us all. Great time to commence a habit of bible
reading and quiet time with the Lord. They will be available each morning on our Facebook
group as well as on the website at menaianglican.org/devotionals (or find it from the home
page under Grow/Growth Resources).
HELP—For many, life is difficult right now. Your staff and Pastoral care team are praying for
our members and our community during this difficult time. We encourage you to stay in touch
with your growth group and anyone else you may know who needs help and social contact. If
you know of someone in need and cannot help them, please let us know. There is a support
request page on our website for visitors to register their details and have someone contact
them at menaianglican.org/support.

plants from the council nursery. If you would like to give this slip to the church, please leave this
