Rosemeadow-Appin Anglican Churches | Trainer: Brett Hall

About Me

As a child, I was brought up in a Catholic family and was because of that I always believed in God, but I didn’t really know or understand the gospel. It wasn’t until a teenager that I truly understood that I was a sinner, and that Jesus had died to save me. I have been married to Adam since 2012 and live at home with 2 dogs, a cat and A LOT of chickens. Adam and I have been attending Rosemeadow Anglican Church for the last couple of years, and now I feel privileged to do my apprenticeship there as well. I’ll be working on two main ministries while I do MTS. I’ll be running our playtime group for parents and children ages 0 – 5 and I’ll be working on a portfolio called Membership which is how, under God, we can help newcomers connect in to church and become regular members of our congregations.

January 2020!

January has been a crazy month so far! I had the first two weeks of Jan off, spent the third week at SWEATcon and then went to G8, the conference for all MTS apprentices across Australia. It was great to get the opportunity to go to these conferences and get some time off, but I am still feeling like I haven’t really settled back into a regular routine yet.

As I drove to the G8 conference remembering that just a year ago I was driving to G8, just starting MTS and having no idea what I was doing, I reflected back on some of the best things from this year. It has been an absolute joy to see how God has worked in and grown people from the ministries I’ve had the privilege to be a part of. I’ve also been thankful for how I have grown in the past year, and pray that God will be at work, changing and refining me for the rest of my life.

Membership

We have a few things coming up in membership this month that I am really excited about! We are running our first “On Board” course where new members of our churches can come and learn more about what the vision of our church is, and what it means to be apart of Rosemeadow/Appin Anglican Churches. We are also running our second Extended church ever! We are hoping this will help people both regular and new members of church to connect and build relationships with each other. On Board is going to run directly after Extended Church so that people are already around at church

Vocational Bible College

I’m pretty thankful to be able to study God’s word again this year. This semester I will be doing Intro to biblical Languages, Denominational Studies, Old Testament 3, Sustaining Christian Leadership and Christian Leadership 2. Yesterday was my first day back at VBC for the year and even though knowing what assignments I have due this semester I am very thankful to be back.

Dates in February

• 5th of Feb – Vocational Bible College starts back
• 23rd of Feb – Extended Church and On Board

Prayer Points

1. Thank God for an awesome first year of MTS. Please pray that God continues to grow the people at Rosemeadow/Appin Anglican churches to be more like Jesus.
2. Please pray for On board, that people will start to settle in to church and through this will turn to Jesus or continue to grow in their relationship with God.
3. Thank God for the opportunity to connect again with other apprentices at G8!
