QMM Next Sunday 25 May
At this first Members’ Meeting with Pastor Sam Jackson giving the Senior Pastor report,
there will be some looking forward (to thinking about the budget and staff arrangements
after Pastors Greg and Ruth conclude their term on 31 August) and looking back (on
further decisions regarding the previously proposed “Special Projects” and the impact of
the planned adjacent subdivision).
Pastoral and Chairman’s Reports, Agenda, Minutes and a “Year to Date Income and
Expenses” budget report have been emailed to those with email access. Other members
can collect their envelope from the foyer table today. Any uncollected envelopes will be
posted and there will be spare copies on the foyer table . Please read them for your general
information and in preparation for the meeting.
All members are encouraged to attend and non-members are welcome to listen in. The
meeting will commence directly after a light “fundraising lunch” next Sunday 25 May. We
are arranging childminding (with ice-creams) to enable parents of young children to be
involved.
Hope to see you there - Jenny Wright, TCBC Council Secretary

OTHER NEWS
News from Pastor Peter, South Sudan
[In response to my (GP) inquiry about progress. Edited from SMS]
Yes, we restarted worship in our church already (three weeks ago). What a great challenge
to us; Lack of power, generator, keyboard, mixer, amplifier and microphone and sound system. But normal services are operating now in Bor. Sometimes 70 people attend. Pastor
Philip Garang is over there managing the church in Bor. We sent him some money that you
sent to us. Meanwhile, we are now searching or looking for a piece of land within Juba city
so that we can start Juba Worship Centre. We will let you know if we succeed in buying
land. Already we identified two areas. The landlord requests us to pay 60,000 SS Pound
(about AUD $20,000). After we buy the land, we can immediately build temporary church
and start worship. That is one of the programs we will follow up here in Juba. Pray for this
process. We will divide Pastors into two teams. Some Pastors will be deployed in Bor and
Juba. I will be a Supervisor between Juba and Bor. We recognise your input. May God
bless you all. Rev Peter Thon.
Senior Pastor JWC&JWC/ SOUTH SUDAN.
