Today we celebrated a significant milestone in Warragul Presbyterian Church (WPC)’s history. While Ray has been serving faithfully as a Bible teacher and an elder for a number of years, today is an answer to our prayers of having Ray as our ordained minister. Praise be to God!

Steve Jones (Drouin Pres Associate Pastor) spoke on 2 Timothy 4:1-5 on the charge of being a pastor, by Christ Jesus:
– to preach the word in view of Christ’s return;
– to preach the word in every season you face;
– to preach the word in knowledge, truth, and patience;
– to preach the word while people are still listening;
– to preach the word even when it is hard.

 

Many thanks to the Presbytery of Gippsland; Presbyterian Theological College; church family at WPC and above all, thanks be to God for His blessing upon us. Soli Deo Gloria.
