We count our children

Paul Borden’s words ring in my ears, ‘you count what is valuable to you’.

On Sunday we served communion to over 140 adults, which means there were more than that there.
But I can tell you exactly how many kids were there. I can tell you their names. I can access their phone numbers and addresses.
This is because our Childrens worker counts them, and keeps a record of their visit.
They are valuable to us.
They mean the world to us.

But we will focus on children. They need to hear and respond to the gospel. Not in some sort of ‘Jesus Camp’ way, but in the sense that the Bible speaks of, letting the children come to Jesus.
Steve Addison asks the question, “Where are the children?”. Well, 59 of them where at Inglewood Community Church on Sunday, thats something to be proud of, something to take joy in.

Brownlow

Adam Cooney…24 votes.

Deserved winner.

You can take the boy out of the country….but you cant take the country out of Cooney! Seems like a decent bloke.

Shame Richardson did not get up, would have been the sentimental favourite. Well done to a much maligned player.

Pavlich did really well, and if he had played in that last couple of games it might have got interesting.

Sandi polled 10 votes in 6 games. Cox polled 3 votes in 2 games.The AA selectors knew what they were doing. Didn’t they? Ummmmmm nooooooooo.

Video Rendering

A while back I started using Photoshop….now that I have mastered the basics…its a great program and allows you to produce high quality stuff.

Now….another steep learning curve which is proving rewarding. I am starting to use Sony Vegas for my video rendering. We are doing a inhouse dvd series based around the idea of the Kingdom, and living the good life. Colin has put together the material which we will focus on, on Sundays and during our mid week small groups. Should be great.

Sony Vegas is a high end product, and the quality of rendering is excellent. But as with photoshop…it is a steep learning curve. But I am getting there….and the quality of the end product will be better.

The feature which I like most of all, and which Ulead does not do….is that Vegas allows multiple video and audio tracks….so nice for effects and smooth transitions.

Church launch celebration


What a great day. We kicked off with some multi media, then Eliot and the “Soul Jam” choir where fantastic with the ‘redemption melody’.

Then Eliot and the team lead us in worship. What a great team they are, led by, what some guests who came, commented is one of the best worship leaders they have seen.

Gordon Basset from Baldivis Church, the president of the Church of Christ came and led communion.
Mark Wilson, DOM from the Baptist Union prayed for the four pastors, Eliot, Colin, Quentin and myself.
Graham Mabury (6PR and Mnt Pleasant) brought an excellent and inspiring message on unity, new and old wine skins, and doing new things!!! It was incredible. Shortly you will be able to download it from this and our church site.
The place was absolutely packed full. Over 140 adults, plus about 60 or 70 kids.
It was a great celebration day of something God is doing in our midst.
