Fr Tom and Wendy have now finished their ministry in Goondiwindi.  What a wonderful celebration of Fr Tom's 50th anniversary of being in Ordained Ministry.  Next chapter for Fr Tom  is as a locum at Stanthorpe Parish from February ....God is great and we know He will use ACHOR mightily in 2016.  Bless you all.

Jesus, all I want to do this Lent is to live for You and live for others. Please kill the sin of pride in me. I’ll keep a secret all the extra things I do for You. Help me to die to self and live for others. When I’m tired and worn out from fasting and praying may others only see happiness and joy bubbling out of my life. Amen

I encourage you to read with us the Daily Devotions each day.  Our prayer is that this helps to draw you closer to Jesus and each other.  Please keep Achor Ministries in your prayers as we finalize our next CD and prepare for mission.  It was a great blessing to recently travel to Mitchell to support Rev Steffan van Munster in his ministry there in the vast Anglican Parish of Maranoe Warrego.  God bless you richly this week.  Fr Tom 

At this time of year Wendy and I and all the Achor Ministries team want to send every blessing to you.  May the love of our Lord Jesus Christ come into all you homes and that we all feel closer to our Lord and each other.  We know the Lord has great things for us all to do in His wonderful name in 2015.

Fr Tom and Wendy Hall had the great joy of visiting North Qld to visit Emerald, Charters Towers, Ingham and Townsville and reunite with friends in parishes along the way.  They showed the love of Jesus to St Pauls Charters Towers at the Saturday night and Sunday night worship.

Next week-end Fr Tom, Wendy and the Achor Minsitries team will visit the Brisbane Valley Parish at Toogoolawah.

Fr Tom reminds us this week:

To enable us to be constantly filled with the Spirit we have to have a lot of faith all the time.  If we follow Paul’s advice in 1 Thessalonians 5; 16, 17 & 18 by rejoicing always, praying continually and giving thanks in all circumstances, then we will be constantly filled with the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit will keep us holy and will help us to be ready to meet Jesus when He comes again to judge the world.

When we act as Jesus’ servants, God wants us to be secret servants. He does not want us to get any honour or glory out of the work we do for Him. He knows that the enemy is ever ready to fill us with pride and stop us being effective servants! One day when we get to heaven, we will get far more of the rewards we need for all that we do for Jesus.

The most wonderful thing about Easter is that as Jesus rose from the dead so all of us who know him personally will one day rise with him and be with Him in heaven for ever.

A very happy and holy Easter to you all. May the Risen Lord bless you abundantly.

Father, we thank you for letting your Son pay such a costly price for us and for giving us so much love. We surrender our all to you and trust in you. Willingly we receive all that you have done for us

Those who cheered Jesus and cried out ‘Hosanna to the Son of David, Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord’, waving Palm branches, on Palm Sunday were soon to cry out ‘ Crucify Him, Crucify Him,’ on Good Friday. What they didn’t realise was that in all His Suffering, pain and humiliation, Jesus was accomplishing the greatest saving act in the history of the world. He was paying the penalty our sins deserve. He died in our place so that we may never die but enjoy life with Him for evermore in heaven. He was setting us all free. Today, as we grasp the palm leaves that have be folded into the shapes of crosses, lets put all our faith and trust in Jesus and accept the free gift of salvation , that He payed for. on the cross Lets be ever so grateful and thank and praise Him with much enthusiasm.

We give thanks for those very special people in our lives- Our Mothers. They are special not only because they bore us and gave birth to us but for the wonderful way they nurtured us and formed us into the people we are. They know their children in a special way like no one else knows them it’s as if they can see right into their hearts. Mothers always love their children even if they turn bad. Our Mother’s love reminds us of God’s love. God can see right into our hearts much more than our mothers can. He knows exactly what we are like but He never stops loving us!

Happy Mothering Sunday!!

Love and God Bless

Fr Tom and Wendy

It’s only when we are humble that we can draw near to God. Humility draws other people to us and through us to God. The way to avoid the sin of pride and develop humility is to be ever so secretive about the rules we make to keep Lent. Don’t tell anyone about how much extra you are giving. Don’t let them know how long you spent in prayer and all the valuable time you are giving to God. Don’t look miserable and complain how hungry you are because it’s been so long since your last meal. Instead, only let God know what you are giving up. May Jesus’ living presence in you show nothing but happiness and joy, even when your Lenten disciplines make you very tired and very worn out.

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY 

On Sunday we come together to thank the Lord for this most wonderful country of Australia.  I migrated here 62 years ago. I took my family back to England in 1975 and stayed there for six years.  During that time we got terribly homesick for Australia. We were so thrilled when the Lord Called us back to this country and provided for us and enabled us to return. This would have to be the best country in the entire world.  We enjoy so much freedom and peace. The mateship of Aussies is incredible. We are the friendliest country in the world!!!

Love and God Bless

Fr Tom and Wendy Hall

 MERRY CHRISTMAS 

Remember our definition of Grace:  God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense. Jesus, and all that comes with Him, is God’s Christmas present to the whole world. All that God does for us in Jesus is described in the Bible by this word, Grace.  Grace is an overflow of God’s generosity.  It is given out to all people freely.  We do not have to deserve it, work for it or earn it in any way.  Grace is like the Christmas cards which we go on sending out to people who never send any to us

May the Lord Jesus bless you throughout this Christmas season. May the light he brought into this world continue to shine brightly within your lives. 

Thank you for your constant support throughout this year. 

We wish you many blessings 

Love 

Fr Tom and Wendy Hall
