Connect Church focus night

Today was a very busy day. Firstly, I bought a new washing machine. It is a new twin tub. My old one had had it, so I bought a new one. I went to the gym in the afternoon.

In the evening Connect Church held a Focus night in the community hall. This was a dinner followed by the pastors giving us details of new events in the church. There was a new logo unveiled. Also news about the new transformations program that has begun in Bendigo. 

We also found out about the new bible college that will start up next year. Pastor Bruce Claridge will head it up. I feel that there are some pretty cool times ahead for this church.

Praise the Lord.

Dinner at BRIT Restaurant

Tonight, I attended a dinner at Brit restaurant. it was a fundraiser for the upcoming Vietnam  missions trip. The meal was quite good and it was a really fun night over all. I think that a good deal of money has been raised.

Farewell to Kath Tointon

This afternoon, BUCO held a farewell luncheon for Kathleen Tointon, out outgoing senior manager. It was held at the Uniting Church hall in Forest St. I got a chance to say good bye to Kath and write her a short letter thanking her for all she has done for me up there. She leaves at the end of the month.

New reading glasses and Watoto

Today was a pretty interesting day. Firstly, I picked up my new reading glasses from Kosmac and Clemens. It will make it easier to read things.

In the evening I attended a performance of the Watoto children's choir from Uganda. It was a great performance. Very moving. My church helps to sponsor them and we are sending a team over there next month. i have sponsored them by filling up a money tin.

The latest Batman Movie

As I had a day off today, i decided to go and see the latest Batman movie - the Dark Knight Rises. It was a long movie - 2 and a half hours but a pretty good one. I also bought some new sheets. As I got home late, I did not go to the gym.
