A message
from our
Minister - Reverend Martin Goodwin
Hi! I'm Martin
Goodwin,
the minister of Rockdale Uniting Church.
For over
twenty years
now, I’ve been a pastor. This is a privilege that God has granted me –
sharing in the lives of people and communities around NSW. My desire is
for you and all people to know that God loves you and cares about you,
and that Jesus Christ has taught us how to live as people and has shown
us the way back to the heart of God.
I saw a great advert
recently
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahg6qcgoay4. Its an awareness test.
In counting the number of times a team passes a ball, it is easy to miss
the dancing bear that moonwalks across the screen (or attempts to anywayJ).
We all get so busy and distracted by what’s going on; juggling many
things in our lives that the important stuff just slips on by.
Maybe coming to church might give you a chance to reconsider
what is important in life. A time out of time, a place to reflect and
pray and meet others who are also seeking answers to the big questions.
I might not know the answer to your questions, but I can point you to
the One who does.
Blessings on you and all
those you love.
Martin Goodwin
