Notes of a six day trip to the West Coast and North-West Tasmania<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/em><\/td>\nResurrected Lord of all glory and power, may we, the Missionary Diocese of Tasmania, on this Sunday experience more of your resurrection life in our life. By your Spirit may we be a healthy church . . . transforming life<\/a><\/span>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6.45am<\/em><\/td>\nSpirit of Tasmania has obviously berthed from Melbourne: its public address system is clearly heard as I repack the car.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
7.30<\/em><\/td>\nBreakfast with Confirmees, their families and supporters. A great idea.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
9.00<\/em><\/td>\nConfirmation Service at St John’s Devonport<\/a><\/span>. Engaging worship with new music group and young vocalists. John preaches on ‘Leap of Faith’ from Mark 5:34 & 41. Special joy as the Confirmees say ‘Yes’ to Jesus. The Newsletter includes Parish info – ‘Rector: Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, 1800 Prayer Free Call’ – a creative reminder!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
11.00<\/em><\/td>\nCuppa and light lunch<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
12.30pm<\/em><\/td>\nSeminar \u2018Christian Maturity\u2019 with 25 participants. Much sharing is precious. As we discuss prayer Diane reads a prayer from our morning confirmation service and relates how that same prayer has been her continuing prayer from her own confirmation in 1958. What a an encouragement we can be to each other in our discipleship. The prayer from \u2018A Prayer Book for Australia\u2019, Broughton Books, 1995 page 61,<\/p>\n

\u2018Defend, O Lord these your servants with your heavenly grace,
\nthat they may continue yours for ever,
\nand daily increase in your Holy Spirit more and more
\nuntil they come to your everlasting kingdom. Amen.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

4.00<\/em><\/td>\nGood driving weather: clear, windless and mild day on the road to Hobart. A lot of traffic heading north. The second \u2018Hancock Half Hour\u2019 CD makes for some fun listening.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5.20<\/em><\/td>\nFeeling tired. Reach Campbell Town for a walk, soup and coffee.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6.30<\/em><\/td>\nRefreshed and easy driving on a clear, rainless and windless night. The town lights of Ross, Tunbridge, Oatlands & Hobart are sparkling pictures. Listening to Elvis sing Gospel favourites. Elvis and Michael Jackson: what tragedy there is in the celebrity circuit. If only Elvis could have lived the Gospel songs he sang.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
7.45<\/em><\/td>\nPetrol at Brighton.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
8.25<\/em><\/td>\nHome sweet home. The two carefully wrapped roses from Derwent Bridge (see Day 1) are presented to my bride, compliments of the 94 year old romantic woman from the West Coast, with chocolates (given earlier by Alf and Nola!).<\/p>\n

Thank you Lord for protection in travel, grace in speaking, the worship and fellowship shared and the interest of the participants in the seminars on discipleship, \u2018Christian Maturity\u2019 and \u2018Walking in Holiness\u2019. In Christ\u2019s name. Amen.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
