We acknowledge the Mouheneener People, the traditional custodians of this land on which we gather for worship.
This church seeks to be a place of safety and acceptance for all people.
Luke 13: 31-35 Chickens are magnificent pets. Oh this surprises you? I don’t blame you. I thought the same until Edith and Esme came into our life. They looked forward to seeing you every morning to see what yummy delights you brought forth that, despite the fact that they came from the scrap bucket, were devoured like delicacies and then, turned into eggs from which real delicacies were made. They’d faithful-ly follow you around and sometimes just have a chat with you in the gar-den. And then they get broody. Have you ever seen a hen brooding over her chicks? Wow, what incredible ma-ternal instinct. How the broody hen possesses courage which never seemed to belie her before. And this is the attitude of Jesus toward the people of Jerusalem floundering in darkness under the rule of a foreign power and their own self-interested immor-al monarch. It’s likely then that Christ still says this when he despairs over the state of the earth. He just wants to gather us in and give us a hug. Awww… thanks Mum…

It is with much sadness that we advise you that Rev Max Stansall died on Wednesday morning after a recent stroke. Our thoughts and prayers are with Max and Judy’s family and the many people who knew Max through his long life and extensive ministry. Max was ordained in 1957 and served the Methodist and then Uniting Church for over 60 years, including ministry at Burnie, Wesley Hobart and Kingston, as well as Chair-man of the Methodist District of Tasma-nia pre-union, and the second Modera-tor of the former Uniting Church Synod of Tasmania. The funeral will be held at 2:00pm on Tuesday 19 March at Clarence Uniting Church, York St, Bellerive. -Rohan Pryor Synod Liaison Minister
