Foothills 5th

Last Sunday was a real time of celebration for us at Foothills. We had a morning at our local Arboretum park here in windy FTG where we celebrated with some 80 people the 5th anniversary of Foothills Neighborhood Communities. We also had some other special things as well happening, 2 dedications, for both Jamila and Becca as well as commissioning the Dekker family as they began their apprenticeship with UNOH.

Of course we ended with a barbie and a game of cricket in the park, reflecting on the day afterwards I thought this was a great way of celebrating 5 years of involvement in our local Ferntree Gully community, with celebrating new life and sending out of others into other missional contexts. Who knows what the next 5 weeks let alone 5 years will bring. Thanks to all who have been part of the journey at some level with us.

Yes, it was good to celebrate the last 5 years... amazing really that something so simple made of a bunch of ordinaries (speaking for myself!) can see such lasting fruit... reminds me of our head, Jesus' words... you didn't choose me, I chose you and appointed you to bear fruit that last (WV expurgated version!)... you're a servant leader, mate, and I have learned so much from you these last 5 years! About loving people, letting people 'walk' at their desired pace, on the ground is where it matters in mission/life, you've also pushed me without pushing to do many things I would not feel confident to do (chaplaincy involvement, weddings, dedications etc!) and have spurred us on as a family to love and good works... THANKS for the good infection...
love, Warwick
