Last weekend, twelve women from West Pennant Hills (and friends of WPHs) gathered in Toukley for our Women’s Retreat. The weather forecast? Rain. And it delivered! But thanks to our spacious 11-bedroom Airbnb, we stayed warm, dry, and happily tucked away together. With a comfy lounge and a kitchen big enough for a small army, we had everything we needed to worship, laugh, learn, and occasionally eat snacks and slices…
I recently had the joy of attending the West Pennant Hills Women’s Retreat, held in a beautiful home in Toukley, NSW. With water views, peaceful surroundings, and comfortable spaces for both conversation and quiet reflection, the setting created a calm and welcoming atmosphere where we could relax and connect…

As my first trip to Australia in an apostolic role comes to a close, a seven-hour flight delay has given me time to reflect on my visit. My aim was to begin building relationships with current and future leaders, as well as members and friends of the church. I set out to learn about your history and accomplishments, your hopes and dreams, frustrations, complexities, abilities, and insights. I feel I have made a solid start, and I look forward to making even greater progress when I return in November…
After months of preparation, prayer, and patient waiting, I’m overjoyed to finally be writing this message from Australia! Dennis and I touched down on Monday, and while we’re still settling in and catching our breath, our hearts are already full. We’re deeply thankful for the welcome we’ve received and are excited to begin this new chapter of ministry alongside you…
Peace is here, peace is there, peace is everywhere.
Peace is here, peace is there, peace inside your body.
I came back inside after lunch on the third day of the Young Peacemakers club to do some cleaning up. Hidden behind the lectern, singing to herself and strumming away on an old beat up guitar was one of the little six year olds singing the above song that she had created for herself…
The Statement on Nonviolence was created in response to World Conference Resolution 1319 in 2019. The process has taken six years. It is timely. Little has changed since 1972 when prophetic words declared that these are portentous times in a world wracked by violence. A church dedicated to peace is called to offer alternatives to human aggression in all its forms…
This week, along the Murray river where I live, the ground has been covered in a thick frost every morning. Each morning when I peer out the window of my cosy little house, I give thanks that I am inside, and able to look out on the stunning horizon - fog lifting above the paddocks and fields, the Victorian Alps blue peaks in the distance…
During May 2025, it rained and rained across the Manning Valley along with the Hastings & Macleay regions. There was continuous rainfall for four days, exceeding 600 millilitres, which has been described as an event expected to occur once every 600 years. A theoretical disaster not supposed to occur in our lifetime, unprecedented in magnitude and impact…
