South Australian Bushfires
13 January 2005
Please pray for people on the Eyre Peninsula. We particularly
pray for those who have lost loved ones. Please also pray for the small
congregation at Wanilla, and for the ministry teams at churches like Port
Lincoln, and Tumby Bay as they offer pastoral care.
The Moderator of the Uniting Church SA, Rev Dr Graham
Humphris, has Written a pastoral letter to church members in the affected
region in which he says: "It is in this awful situation that we,
as part of your extended family known in the Uniting Church in South Australia,
want you to know that we are grieving with you, praying for you and wanting
to stand by you and support you in any way that we possibly can."
The President says that in this Sunday of mourning he
makes the sad request to our congregations to now include at least one
member
of the Uniting Church who died in the fires and remember the many other
families who are grieving in Southern Eyre Peninsular and beyond.
