24.01.2022 Celebrating Liena's 12 month anniversary at the BRUC today after the service at Maleny!

23.01.2022 Hi everyone, Welcome to today’s e-service (Holy Communion) which was recorded at Palmwoods. And thank you to all who helped and participated. The songs I have included today are all from a Zimbabwe a cappella group: Amor Music Ministry. I think that they are special, but then I do disclose that I am biased! Nevertheless I do hope you will enjoy the harmonies. The Shona songs have English sub-titles.... Enjoy here is the link: https://ourcommonlife.org.au/18-october-2020/ Have a great week take care Shalom Liena

22.01.2022 Beginnings of a promising Christmas 2020. Thanks to Malcolm for completing it before heart surgery and for the guys fixing it!! Watch this space.

19.01.2022 Hi everyone, Welcome to this week’s cuppa conversation. It is literally at the centre of our town and community: The Maleny Community Centre. The accompanying YOUTUBE video of the song Hot Gates, written by Christ Torr was originally sung by his wife Laurika Rauch (seen at the beginning of the video). The Libertas Choir have however made it distinct. This particular version was recorded during the COVID-pandemic during lockdown in South Africa. In light of the terror and othe...r wars presently experienced across the world I thought it apt. Social capital and cohesion starts in the local community!! Something which the world, including us is desperately in need of it! So let us give thanks for the centres like the Maleny Community Centre and take ownership of the Hinterland Hub of Hope. Sure you will enjoy the cuppa conversation with Peter and Ann, and the song! Here is the link! https://ourcommonlife.org.au/4-november-2020/ Take care, Shalom Liena

19.01.2022 Today was Harvest Thanksgiving Festival at the Blackall Range UC! We are being continually blessed with so many gifts from our heavenly Father, and today we wanted to honour Him with our harvest. We celebrated and expressed our thanks to Him by bringing along our personal harvest of produce, plants, flowers and craft. How blessed are we?!!

19.01.2022 Good evening everyone, Trust you have cooled down, ready for tomorrow’s heat! Got a reminder from Facebook that it is a year since my induction on the 21 November 2019! Quite a year but God has been faithful and will continue to be blessing me richly. So I recall the year with gratitude.... Here is the link to today’s e-service, Leave the cocoon, and fly off, : https://ourcommonlife.org.au/22-november-2020/ BIG thank you again to Stuart for doing the editing. Have a blessed week, Take care and stay cool, Shalom Liena

18.01.2022 Hi everyone, Greetings from the Synod. Mmm, although I am generally not a supporter of e-meetings and less so of e-meetings of a particular nature such as a synod, I need to applaud the work, effort and time gone into arranging and bringing the e-synod meeting.... I am fortunate, that as a member of the facilitation team, I get to see the detailed feedback of the small groups, so in a way I am able to get a sense of a broader mood across the synod, and not simply the narrow view of a computer screen! The normal worship services will be on tomorrow: 8:15 Montville 9:45 Maleny 3.00pm Palmwoods I do however also share the link to the new moderator, Andrew Gunton’s s induction service that took place on Thursday evening, and encourage you to watch it. Please also be reminded that you can tune into the Synod meeting- so feel free to join us!!!! The link to both is: https://ucaqld.com.au/ Looking forward to seeing many of you at the launch of our November outreach month next Sunday at Maleny at 9:45. I encourage you to invite friends along to this celebration, commemoration and exploration of our outreach on local, regional, national and international level. Shalom Liena

16.01.2022 Hi everyone, Trust you are keeping well and did not blow away with the hectic wind we had a few days ago! Below is the link to today’s recorded service:... https://ourcommonlife.org.au/27-september-2020/ Once again a reminder of next Sunday the 4th October. We will be celebrating our Harvest Thanksgiving Service and bringing along products and produce and purses to honour and give thanks to God. It will be a joyous occasion and we will be sharing a cuppa afterwards. So be sure to be there! It will be at Maleny at 9:45 am. (It was originally planned to form part of the Palmwoods’ Spring Harvest Festival but with COVID the date and place have moved on but it will be no less joyful and celebratory). See you there! Shalom

14.01.2022 Hi everyone, I am sure we have all enjoyed the lovely rain we have received along the range and in the plain below! Thank you again for celebrating with me my first anniversary at BRUC.... Todays’ e-service is the message Phil Smith shared this morning at Maleny UC which was streamed alive onto the Mary Burnett Presbytery FB. I hope the link works: https://www.facebook.com/MaryBurnettPres/videos/746885632568160 If not, and you have FB, search for the Mary Burnett FB page a good page to follow! Thanks for the message Phil and to Becky Francis for sharing stories of her ministry as the local primary school chaplain. Speaking of Presby members of Presby, including yours truly, will be meeting for a live-in Presby up at Harvey Bay from Friday the 13th Sunday the 15th! Thank you that I know that we go and meet with your prayers. Take care, ShalomLiena

13.01.2022 Good evening everyone, Trust you are enjoying these glorious days, although I am aware that the land is getting thirsty for rain. I am sure you will enjoy today’s E-Service it was a festive and cheerful harvest thanksgiving festival at Maleny.... A deep, deep thank you to each and everyone’s contribution! And we were able to enjoy a cuppa with a sambo and a conversation with friends afterwards super! Thanks to all. Enjoy! https://ourcommonlife.org.au/4-october-2020 Blessed week shalom Liena

06.01.2022 Hi everyone, Trust we have survived the heat and are enjoying some rain. This week’s cuppa conversation is slightly different. It is a series of video clips. And once again, thank you to Stuart for putting it all together!!!... The first and third is about the Montville Mob, or more accurately members from Montville with some help of members from Maleny & Palmwoods setting up the Christmas Display at Montville Uniting Church. I encourage you to go and view it and spend some in reflection and meditation. The cuppa conversation also includes a serious reflection from myself about the 16 days of international activism against gender-based violence which runs from the 25th November to 10 December. My emotions in this time are mixed I feel both joy and sadness. Thomas Merton calls this spiritual dualism we can actually feel both joy and sadness at the same time neither one emotion is exclusive of the other. Particularly during Advent I feel great joy in singing Christmas carols, seeing symbols of Christmas and happiness, yet at the same time I am strongly reminded of the darkness in life: violence, corruption, suffering, The music video however ends on a high note: The Ndlovu Youth Choir singing their rendition of Whitney Houston’s Higher Love during the 2019 AGT Semi-Finals. May we know the true Higher, Highest Love, Jesus Christ the Perfect Gift, this Advent. Here is the link: https://ourcommonlife.org.au/25-november-2020/ ShalomLiena

05.01.2022 Hi everyone, And I think it is now official: the summer rains and storms have arrived! Wnderful! Special blessings for all the gardeners, experts and novices and to all of us who enjoy the beauty of the gardens along the Blackall Range. ... Our guest today, I am sure many of you will know, but I am confident you will find the cuppa conversation inspirational. And o yes, the YOUTUBE song was chosen by Phil himself the words are challenging. So make that billy and sit back and enjoy. Here is your link: . https://ourcommonlife.org.au/28-october-2020/.

05.01.2022 Hi everyone, Welcome to today’s Cuppa Conversation. I must say I had a wee gasp when I realised it is the 30 September already!! Only a quarter of 2020 to go!!! Today’s guest is Micah Jones, the chaplain for Maleny State High School. The work Micah does is incredible! The blessing of being able to have chaplains in schools is remarkable and needs to be cherished! As Micah reminds and asks us at the end of the cuppa conversation it is also a ministry that needs to be constant...ly upheld in prayer. So fill that cuppa and sit back and enjoy! Here is the link: https://ourcommonlife.org.au/30-september-2020/ Before I sign off a reminder of the fellowship opportunities this coming Sunday 4th October: Maleny 9:45 am Harvest Thanksgiving Festival and Holy Communion so come and celebrate! Not only the harvest but also breaking the bread together. Products and produce can be dropped off at the church any time onward from Saturday 3pm or Sunday morning before the service. And please do not forget your purses!! Palmwoods 10:00am Family Service in the church Montville 4:30pm Faith Conversations in the church ShalomLiena
