While we've celebrated as usual this weekend at Marion Salvos, and thank God for trusting us with three new people again yesterday, a sense of sadness is upon us. Our friend Margery is unwell and may not survive the week. She is loved among our 10am congregation where she faithfully attends and sits in the front row.
We are also sad because Margery has no relatives in Adelaide to help with her personal affairs. It is an honour, in many respects, that Flinders Medical Centre have phoned members of our church community, as Margery's "family", for help with some things.
For every Margery that we have reached and connected with, how many are in our communities that we are yet to reach with God's love, light and grace? How many more elderly (or young) ladies (or men!) need us to be their family?
