23.01.2022 A beautiful song to sing together... Hear our prayer, God above As we come to you and seek your patient love Hear our hearts, hear our minds... Hear the echoes of the words we cannot find Be our hope, be our guide In our wanderings of weakness break our pride Not for ease shall we pray But for strength that we may walk with you this day So we pray in faith, your will be done As we long to see your kingdom come We ask with one voice We ask with one voice Through Jesus Christ our Lord Hear our prayer, faithful one Shape our yearnings to the gospel of your Son Free our hearts, free our minds From the war that sin will wage till you arrive Be our joy, be our stay Give us eyes to see you answer prayer this day Hear us praise all you’ve done We rejoice as we receive the victory won So we pray in faith, your will be done As we long to see your kingdom come We ask with one voice We ask with one voice We ask with one voice Through Jesus Christ our Lord 2014 Greg Cooper (Rhinoceros Publishing) & Andrew Judd Based on the hymn ‘Father, hear the prayer we offer’ (Words: Love M. Willis 1859) Song Number: 7033935 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiCB4BbF8oI

20.01.2022 Reflecting on Jenny Matthei's talk on "the ministry of time" from Ecclesiastes 3:1-13 and Colossians 4:2-6... What did you find encouraging or challenging from the talk? What principles can and should we use to work out our priorities in this life? ... How can we encourage each other to live in this time of grace? Given the changes in our weekly routines and time caused by the current pandemic, how can we make the most of the opportunities God is giving us in this season of life?

18.01.2022 One of the songs we sang together on Saturday... We won’t fear the battle We won’t fear the night We will walk the valley with you by our side... You will go before us You will lead the way We have found a refuge, only you can save Sing with joy now: our God is for us The Father’s love is a strong and mighty fortress Raise your voice now, no love is greater Who can stand against us if our God is for us Even when I stumble Even when I fall Even when I turn back, still your love is sure You will not abandon, You will not forsake You will cheer me onward with never ending grace Neither height nor depth can separate us Hell and death will not defeat us He who gave his son to free us Holds me in his love "God is For Us" recorded live at St Paul's Castle Hill. Words and Music By Michael Farren, James Ferguson, Tiarne Tranter, Jesse Reeves, Jonny Robinson, James Tealy & Rich Thompson 2018 CityAlight Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxl1EOhJiRA

17.01.2022 Some of you might be wondering what happens when our #EQUIPathome registration closes tomorrow. Here’s the email we sent to our delegates this morning... Hello!... This is a friendly reminder that your on-demand access to EQUIP at home will end at midnight tomorrow 27 July. Since the first episode premiered on 20 June, we've heard many wonderful stories of how God has used this unique opportunity to help our delegates consider Jesus in light of eternity. Some women have watched multiple times with different groups as they've thought of more and more friends with whom they could share God's word. Over 4500 women and teens have joined us at home and we want to say a big thank you for being one of them. If you haven't watched yet, you still have time! It will take about four hours to view both episodes. If you haven't downloaded our amazing teen's devotional booklet, why not do that now while you still can? Need More Time? We know that some of our delegates are still keen to share EQUIP at home with others or to have access beyond 27 July. While our music broadcast licences don't allow us to continue streaming past tomorrow, we do have plans to make the conference available for download from our online library. Here are the details: Option of one week's rental ($15) or permanent download ($45) Expected release date 1 August Two full episodes with Q&A* Delegate bonus! $15 discount for women who registered for EQUIP at home... we'll send your exclusive code soon!** SMS animation from Episode 1 also available as a separate download Keep an eye on your inbox... We'll let you know once the download is available on our online library for rent or purchase. In Christ, Isobel Lin * Due to copyright limitations, some of the music content from EQUIP at home may not be available in the permanent download. The SMS animation from Episode 1 is included. ** $15 discount applies to either one week's rental or permanent download and must be redeemed within one month of release date. Any questions, please let us know! Thank you for joining with us for EQUIP at home this year and all the encouragement we have received along the way as everyone has adapted to the ongoing situation with COVID-19.

17.01.2022 Here are two webinars (Part 2 and 3) this week and next that you might find helpful to attend... "CMD will be hosting 3 free webinars with clinical psychologist Valerie Ling to aid us in grappling with the psychological dimensions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that pastors are over the initial rush, we need to prepare for the new normal and even get ahead of the curve. We have all had reactions and are all going through considerable stress. This time is a great opportuni...ty to reflect on self-care in the new world, both in the immediate and in the longer term. Valerie is on the cutting edge of helping pastors prepare for and cope with the psychological demands of ministry (as well as the mission field), and she will be conducting these three free webinars. What? (Already happened) Part 1: Making sense of what is going on? How can we understand what’s happening with us and our congregations. What are the best parallel frameworks out there, and how do they apply to the impacts of the COVID19 pandemic. Part 2: Finding meaning and energy at this time. With many of our world’s turned upside down, and so quickly, many in ministry are searching for meaning. The nature of church is the gathering of God’s people. Now that God’s people cannot meet, how do we process our feelings of loss and find the energy to invest in re-imagining ministry in the midst of physical distancing. Part 3: Managing the here and now whilst adapting and coping with so much change. So many are experiencing a new phenomenon: decision fatigue. This webinar will focus on understanding what is happening in the midst of such stress, how to find the resources to cope with a barrage of decision making, and how to adjust to the world of zoom, and the impact of being a people person, yet having to speak to a screen in new ways. When? (Already happened) Part 1: Friday 24 April at 10am Part 2: Wednesday 29 April at 2pm Part 3: Tuesday 5 May at 10am" Find more details and register here: https://moore.edu.au//covid19-navigating-what-is-happeni/

Find all the books recommended by Karen Williamson on Saturday at Reformers Bookshop: https://reformers.com.au/pages/equip-ministry-wives Do you remember her suggestion for "Enjoying God"? They each read a chapter a week and then discuss at their family dinner. What a great idea! Karen's kids are between 14 and 22 years old, and it seems a really encouraging time for them to all grow in faith together. ... Other titles you will find at the bookstall: Risen Motherhood by Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler The Art of Rest by Adam Mabry Refresh by Shona and David Murray The Creaking on the Stairs by Mez McConnell How Should I Manage Time by Ryan McGraw Be True To Yourself by Matt Fuller Maybe get a few ministry wives friends together, choose a book and read it together over the next few months?

09.01.2022 Reflecting on Carl Matthei's first talk "understanding the time" from Daniel 7... What struck you from this talk? What did you find encouraging or challenging? How does being a follower of Jesus change our view of time? What do I need to change in my own life with this new perspective? ... Please share below - we don't get to see each other in person so it would be great to encourage each other online instead!

07.01.2022 TRY BEFORE YOU BUY... Did you miss the Australian premiere of EQUIP at home? This year it’s not too late to watch it or invite a friend to watch - from anywhere in the world! You can rent or download the *full* conference (not just the talks) from our EQUIP library now. ... HERE’S A 10 MINUTE SAMPLE OF ‘Eternity’. (There’s a little bit of Alli Muscat’s talk - Is the resurrection true? And a quick tour of the highlights.) https://vimeo.com/ondemand/equip20eternity/443262706 Both episodes are available to rent for $15/week or buy for $45. *If you were a delegate in June, remember to look for your email from us containing discount codes! It’s funny how you can be a follower of Jesus for decades and yet not have thought deeply about Jesus’ resurrection or your own! In some ways, 1 Corinthians 15 is such a familiar passage. Who can forget verse 54? Death has been swallowed up in victory. But there’s so much more to that verse and indeed, the whole chapter. Even with two episodes, we’ll only begin to appreciate the riches in this wonderful part of God’s Word. In Episode 1, we’ll take a soaring view of eternity beginning with Jesus’ resurrection. In Episode 2, we’ll zoom in on the difference Jesus’ resurrection makes to our body and our work. Find many of our other conference and EQUIP nights talks on the #EQUIPlibrary to download and listen or watch.
