Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”
Romans 5:1-5
There is probably not a church in
Australia today that won’t have some
prayer, silence, preaching or reflection on
the lives of Andrew Chan and Myuran
Sukumaran. Here is no exception. I
know that we have been so swamped by
opinion, images, details, politics,
postulating, reactions and such a
sweeping polarity of views that it might all
seem too much.
But in that surging ocean of opinion I just
want to grab hold of a few things that
have floated by and get some solid
anchoring in the Cross of Christ.
I am grateful to Andrew and Myuran
because in their
living they
have
‘belief’ but the actively proclaimed reality
of the grace-filled, redemptive, Holy spirit
anointed, indwelling friendship,
forgiveness, strength and mercy of the
Son of God who takes away the sins of
the world. It is a walk that is in contrast
with the rhythms of the world and in deep
relief to many other beliefs, faiths and
religions.
I have been impacted greatly by the
words used by the faithful and also the
secular that have found currency in the
call for MERCY and the proclamation of
REDEMPTION. The very heart of these
words undergirds so much of our national
orientation, but it is too often invisible.
What is most significant is that this
understanding flows directly from the life,
death, resurrection and spiritual imprint of
Jesus. The woman caught in the act of
adultery (John 8)… Jesus’ words to the
crucified man beside him and the parable
of the Lost Son all witness to a
p.t.o.
Welcome to Ringwood. We are not a perfect church…. But we do love the Lord
and seek to take his life, call, ministry and hope seriously. We seek to THRIVE in
his favour through an attentiveness to the Word, joining in community, seeking to
recognize and exercise our gifts and connection with the wider neighborhood.

And so here in this brutal state sectioned
punishment we are forced back to the Way of
Christ and the attitudes, orientations and
behaviours that that Way offers as life to us..
So I pray for Indonesia … I pray for those
employed in the firing squads, I pray for their
President, I pray for grieving families and I pray
for our nation with its own complexities and
injustices. I look for the redemptive bridges and
heartbeat from the Cross that forever echo the
failure of law and self-righteousness and speaks
forgiveness over the brutal, ignorant and proud.

Celebration Sunday - MAY 31st
A day to offer an overflow of praise, gratitude, hope and commitment to God’s future
in the life of Ringwood Church of Christ and the unique ministry and mission it is
called to.
This year we encourage:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The renewal of tithes and regular offerings for those who have never
considered this as part of active worship and devotion.
Generous financial giving in celebration of MINISTRY.
Generosity towards the ongoing unfolding of the future mission shaping
of our buildings. (Last year’s Celebration offerings to ‘Loving the
house’ are still rolling out change with more to come.)
As in other years gifts of time, art, music, letters, practical support and
help etc are welcome and honoured.
We have had a complex pattern of giving since approximately August last year and
have found that irregularity in giving has affected what was a very balanced achievable and future focused budget. We have set aside a gifted, adaptive and interactive
Ministry team through discernment and prayer over a number of years in faithfulness
to the multigenerational DNA and community mission interface of this church’s call.
The short fall in budget will eventually have an impact on ministry and mission unless
we can encourage a faithful, worshipful and generous attitude to giving not just
amongst a few , but in the loaves and fishes that we all hold.
We are the reflection of God who blesses and uses the generosity , devotion and
gratitude of His body in Christ to be hands and feet, hearts and minds, wisdom and
Word in a world that is heading down destructive pathways.
The Kingdom of God and its call and claim for hope, reconciliation and salvation is
much more important than anything else we find our money drifting towards.
It is a powerful thing to give ( direct debit etc) even when we are away… and plan in
advance for our honouring tithes and approach each season with a generosity of
prayer, joy, resolve and dedication to the advance of God’s witness.
God calls us to grow in trust, rest in reliance on him and stand on an uncertain planet
as generous Kingdom focused people in all seasons.

Women of Purpose: Destiny Rescue. As an outcome of generous giving
at our recent DVD events, coupled with money raised at previous ladies' evenings,
we were able to make a donation of $350 to Destiny Rescue Mission. This will be
put towards a specific project, namely the purchase of two motorbikes for use by
rescue staff in Laos.
‘Thanksgiving Dinner’ An Opportunity:
Last year we had an
inaugural ‘Thanksgiving Dinner’ to honour the lives of those who serve Maroondah
through the local council, banking and several schools. This was a fantastic
evening and a powerful expression of our missional intention to be active and
encouraging in building bridges of blessing in the various spheres of our
neighbourhood.
We are planning another Thanksgiving Dinner on Monday June 27th.
We have booked a function room for 80-100 and would love to invite YOU to
attend … but not on your own. We encourage you to pay for 2 and actively
invite someone that you might know who has influence in the wider
community and market place: Someone you know who might be a business
leader, a small business person, a CEO of an organization, head of police, fire
brigade, Hospital, school, bank or other key organization.
Our goal is to fulfil our role in the region as encouragers for the Kingdom of God.
Invitations will be available shortly. Please pray and imagine who you might like to
invite. If you have any questions speak with Noel, Dave or John
CAN YOU HELP?
SYG (State Youth Games) is coming up again soon over
the Queen’s Birthday Weekend at Warragul, and we have some contacts through
our Youth Group who are wanting to register and are finding the cost of $185 prohibitive, and we wondered if there was anyone who might like to assist in some way.
If this is something you might like to do, can you please contact the Church Office.

‘Building A Redemptive Bridge’:
A Study designed for individual and Life Group use
following the current 10am morning theme. This is
available from the Ringwood Church of Christ Web
site and Facebook page. Hard copies are available
from the foyer.
The series focuses on the proactive Way we can learn from God for ‘Building
Redemptive Bridges’ when there have been bridge disasters ‘trespasses’ in
relationship.
Drum Kit for Sale $150: Our ‘Pearl’ drum kit has been superseded by the
gracious gifting of a church family (thank you) - the old Kit has served us well and is
in good condition. It is the basic kit comprising base drum and toms but no high
hats. Talk to Luke Broadbent, Drew Nicholls or John Sharpe to check it out.
DEATH CAFÉ
Tuesday May 26th @ 1.00pm (During Palliative Care Week)
Eastern Palliative Care Training Room - EPC Mitcham
630 Mitcham Road - Mitcham
What it is: A safe place to come and discuss any aspect of death. Society is not
good at encouraging us to speak about death - so this is a time to feel safe to say
and listen.
What it is not: It is not a bereavement support or grief counselling. It is not information giving - no written information is distributed. It is not research or consultation.
Format: There will be small groups (up to 10) - who will share discussion and food some yummy cake! And a cuppa. A natural environment providing a place to normalise a discussion on death. Discussions are very fluid and the Café usually lasts for
about an hour to an hour and a half.
Please RSVP by 20th May. Email: [email protected] or phone 1300 130 813.

The DNA of Call and
Ministry Purpose:
Ringwood has a long history of service to the
wider community and has maintained an open
posture of hospitality, grace and generosity to the
world around us. The Ministry Team is not only for
‘the church’ but for the community.
As I write this today (April 29) I think about the
two homeless men in my office this morning and
their delight in receiving not only prayer, a warm
drink and assistance with referrals, but also some
practical support for purchasing a hot meal and the
gift of two sleeping swags designed for easy use and
warm, dry nights.
I reflect on our shape of ministry often. Why do
we have the type of team we have ?
¨
There is a deep discernment about
cooperative and holistic ministry across the
age groups and attention to an
intergenerational sense of belonging.
¨
We have placed a very high priority on
children’s and family ministry with an
increasing sense of what it means to create
connections with the wider community.
¨
Over recent years we have focused on a
significant discernment around adaptive
changes in youth and young adult ministries
and have been thrilled to see the fruit from
not only the current team, but those who have
sown seeds of discipleship in the past.
¨
We have focused not only on leadership
skills, but the rhythms of worship, disciple
building, prayer, character and Godliness that
promote witness, mentoring and a faith
positive encouragement upfront and behind
the scenes.
¨
We have a team that lead, equip and release
others in the exercise of their gifts, calling
and Christ-like ‘presence’ in the world.

An opportunity…
Giving to Ringwood Church of Christ
Celebration Sunday is an opportunity to highlight our privileged
call to ministry and mission. It is a time to renew and
encourage the faithful and regular habits of financial giving to
the work of the church it ‘s witness and work.
Our mission together is not just a one day a week or a Sunday
thing…. Everything we do is mission. We live in a nation that
is progressively moving away from its Christian heritage and
local churches like Ringwood have to see their calling of
proclamation, evangelism and witness in an holistic way.
We are called to be a missionary people- from Bedford Road
to Zimbabwe, Indonesia, Thailand, Fiji, PNG, Vietnam….
Working with the friends of Jesus in many nations.
Our ministry Team reflects a diversity of giftings identified as
purposefully significant in the equipping of the church for the
release of evangelism,, pastoral support and a posture of
Christ honouring presence in the wider community.

We have honoured the ‘Loving the House’ Celebration

shaping of Children's/Youth Ministry buildings with
changes to the Pitt St house and property.
