A day at Marion Corps is never dull.
Today we started with a relatively calm gathering of people interested in accessing our services. By midday the police and the mental health crisis services were here. Personally, I think it was overkill, but regardless the day had taken a turn for the strange.
This afternoon some order was restored as I was able to meet with our student's supervisor from Flinders University to talk about her progress, and then help Dave with his soldiership classes. Tonight we'll finish with the Pastoral Care Council. Pray for their meeting and counsel.
God is keeping us on our toes. We are not in any way naive to what is occuring in the community - we see it every day - but we are able to share hope, love and grace because of who Jesus is and what he has done. We are able to create an alternative community and culture where our world is confronted by justice and mercy.
Please pray for our community support services staff and volunteers. Pray for their team leader Kerryn. Pray for the safety and security of our centre.
Oh... and PS... plese also tonight pray for the families of officers in our territory that have been notified that they are moving at the end of the year. Their appointments will be mostly announced tomorrow. With that comes some aprehension, uncertainty, expectation and grief at leaving the familiar for the unknown. And... just in case you're wondering, Angela and I aren't going anywhere!
