What another wonderful week. Though alas, the fever of hay is upon a few unlucky members. I hope you're not one of them. I wish this swollen, itchy and cloudy plague on no one! If you have a cure, do share.
Coffee on the Lawn
Another great Thursday has been and gone! We were finally free to enjoy the wonderful weather via the veranda out the front. The magpies were curious, the breeze soft as the Australian native leaned lazily in the sun. Conversation was ripe and filled with the occasional inspired pun we all love, coming in the direction of Barry.
Dwellingup Adventure
Something many of us that attend DR are looking forward to! An adventure to Dwellingup on Thursday the 27th of October. For those planning to attend, please arrive at 8.45 at DR for a 9am take off. Plan is to land back at DR by 4.30 pm.

We will be using a Hired Mini-Van and private cars. (Drivers and cars wanted)
Bookings essential by Sunday 23rd October to Barry or Sheryl 0418177191 or 0419044336
Numbers may be limited by cars and drivers available.
Volunteers wanted
There are lots of ways to get involved at DR! We would love more people to take part in the Sunday Service for one. If you feel like you could enjoy greeting at the door, sharing a communion message, jumping on the worship team, closing the service with a pastoral prayer, or perhaps sharing an offering talk, I think I can speak for the church family when I say we would love to use the gifts you have to offer!
If you're currently unsure, think and pray on it. Opportunities will keep a knockin'.
Thanks abundantly to those who are already giving their time to serve at DR. Morning tea makers, communion creators, audio visual technician genius', songstresses and musicians all. For the small things with great love and oft behind the scenes washers of tea-towels and takers of bins. What a wonderful team we have here at DR.
Op-Tober
It is events like this that make us look back on life with great fondness and shining eyes. What makes this event so great you ask? Well Barry will be MC-ing for starters, that's always a good time. Keaton Staz will be "Staz-Jazzing", a very remarkable thing you must know. But the most wonderful thing of all is that YOU will be gett involved, walking down that cat walk with the biggest grin on your face. It's for a good cause. It's going to be a laugh. What more could you want?
