State Meeting - August 2008

On Monday, August 11^th fifteen delegates from across the state represented their Dioceses at the Annual Meeting held this year at Bishopscourt in Sydney.

The day began with prayer and a time of devotion led by our guest, Reverend Narelle Jarrett, where we took the time to look at “God with us- The forces at work in our lives” in the context of the story of Abram and Sarai.

Discussion included the challenges of rural life and distance, the changes needed to bring in new members and the difficulties of encouraging existing members as they age.

We also looked at what was working  ... our impact through playgroups, seeing how we can connect with our communities, how we can support parishes and how we pray and support each other, how our members can and do serve fulfilling our mission of  Sharing Christ’s love by encouraging, strengthening and supporting marriage and family life.

We also decided on the date and venue for the State Conference to be held in 2010.

We look forward to gathering together on Monday April 11^th 2010, for a three day conference ending on Wednesday 13^th at the Mittagong RSL Club and Resort ... so diary that date now!
