The Sentence
Jesus said, “We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” John 9:4-5

Lent IV - 15 March 2026
Dear Friends,
Sadly, very sadly, we have seen warfighting in our world before. In Australia and places like Western Europe and Asia we don’t have the direct effects of bombs, missiles, artillery and now armed drones and for this I thank God. We are again experiencing the indirect impacts of world conflicts; I expect to see our fuel prices going up and inflation and mortgage rates increasing and other economic effects. It might look much the same on the news but this time it’s different; this time countries are deliberately destroying each other’s ability to produce drinking water; so many countries, which have nothing to do with the main issue, are being deliberately targeted and drawn in.
This Sunday we have before us God’s words for confronting times. In each reading God announces a shaking up of the supposedly secure world order and in each God assures us of his presence, strength, light and hope in darkness.
Last Sunday, the children reminded us that God doesn’t always give us what we want but God knows what we need. Jesus again is showing us what really matters.
Like the blind man to whom Jesus gave sight then faith then courage to live his faith amidst opposition, we too are called to live a life that reflects God’s light into the world around us. Things people around us have believed in are being shaken but nothing should shake our faith in God’s promised eternal life with him.
When your world is threatened do you first check your bank balance, superannuation balance, car’s petrol tank, electricity connection (or generator) or your relationship with God? We of course check on children and family but before we even attempt to save others we need to know on whom we are relying to save us.
It’s time to let people know and see that you are relying upon the Good Shepherd.
This week in the UK is Dementia Prayer week and although in Australia Dementia Awareness week occurs in September, I have included a prayer within this GNT.
This week’s bulletin includes details of Holy Week and Easter Services plus Palm Cross making and our Working Bee.
Grace and peace and hope and life,
ROB
