The WA Youth came together on Sunday, 26th of March to enjoy a day of canoeing at Lake Leschenaultia, east of Perth. The day was cold and windy. While a small part of us took some cover under a picnic table shelter, the rest of the youth actually went out canoeing with enthusiasm—and even went swimming in the frigid waters. Those who were looking on only became colder with the sight. Despite the chilly weather, old and young enjoyed themselves,…

What does it mean, ‘to be in Your likeness’? In heaven You were perfect, No Scars marked Your brow, No tears of pain and grief fell down Your cheeks, Your hands had no nails driven in them, Your side was not run through. In heaven You were perfect, Your visage unscathed, Yet You chose the path to pain, And death put You in the grave. You did this because You didn’t want me to lose Your likeness, My sins—my life—were…

The profession of faith was held by the lake along…

On the 4th of March, all the Sydney churches came together, and we held a farewell at Schofields Church for the Dumaguit family. We spent the afternoon in a praise and fellowship meeting, and after the closing of Sabbath, we enjoyed a delicious dinner that all contributed to. After eating, we watched a short PowerPoint presentation of photos taken during the Dumaguit’s time with us and then presented them with a gift from all of us at church: a book…

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. To begin expressing our need, in the solemnity of the days we are living now, we want to borrow the pressing words of our Lord, which are found in the twenty-first chapter of the Gospel of Luke verse twenty-eight, He said: “And when these things begin to come to pass,…

After this youth camp, I can say that I understand just a bit more of why God placed Adam and Eve in a garden. Being surrounded by God’s handiwork ultimately magnifies His greatness and works to reveal His plan for us in our lives. This wonderful experience all started on the 14th of April when families packed their cars and headed off for a four-hour drive east of Perth to Wave Rock, in the wheat belt region. Though the journey…
