GAVIN KREBS’ ORDINATION

Message from Gavin

Dear Friends,
I am to be ordained as a Priest in the Anglican Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn, with one other on 24 November 2018 at 11am at St Saviour's Anglican Cathedral on Bourke Street, Goulburn, NSW.

This service is open to all, and I would be honoured if you would join me for this very special occasion, if you are able. I know that many of you are "scattered far and wide" and may not be able to make it to the service, however, knowing that you will be thinking of me and praying for me at that time means a great deal.

If you can make it, it is recommended that you arrive early, to get a park and a seat.

Make sure you arrive early because the film will start at 7:00pm sharp!

For The Love of God: How the Church is better and worse than you ever imagined confronts the worst that Christians have done and traces the origins of Western values like human rights, charity, humility, and non-violence back to the influence of Jesus. This is not the history we think we know. Join us as we weigh up the good, the bad, the ugly – and the unexpected – when it comes to the impact of Christianity in the world we live in today.

PLEASE NOTE: Enough tickets must be sold to ensure this screening goes ahead, if it doesn't happen those funds will be refunded - no one loses out! To buy tickets, click on the tickets link below.

CMS Canberra & Goulburn Mission in the Spotlight Dinner 2018

It is our pleasure to invite you to join us for the annual CMS Canberra & Goulburn Mission in the Spotlight Dinner.

This year we have asked Mike Clark and a secure worker in the Middle East to be our guest speakers. Both are enthusiastic teachers of the Bible and will speak on the topic of: “Mission in the Spotlight – Middle East political turmoil, refugees and new gospel openings with the Muslim world.” They will share their firsthand experience of how Christ has used the diaspora of people in the Muslim world to draw them to himself, as well as speak on topical issues that surround these people.

This evening is addressing a core vision of CMS: “Work amongst the gospel poor and equipping Christian leaders for ministry in gospel poor regions.” Remember Paul’s words in Romans 10:15 when quoting Isaiah: “How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?… How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”. I commend this evening to you so that together, as the people of Christ, we can continue to grow and be better equipped to pray for the vital ministry among gospel poor communities.
