Neighbour Day

This week in our letter box we received an advertisement stating that Sunday 28th March is "Neighbour Day". We had already been planning to organise a BBQ for our street to meet our neighbours - this was our perfect opportunity! Christina made up invitations on the computer inviting the street to our place on Sunday for a sausage sizzle. We had no idea how many would turn up so Troy just bought lots of sausages and bread rolls! The BBQ began at 12pm. The first neighbours to arrive were three elderly women who live at the top of our street. A lot of our neighbours in our street are elderly people living in Territory housing. Laura and I had met a few of them already when we went to introduce ourselves last week. Some of them are unable to leave their homes due to health issues. Anyway, while Lachie cooked the sausages (I wasn't letting Troy anywhere near the BBQ), more neighbours arrived. It was a fun and interesting afternoon. All up 18 people came to our BBQ. Of course we invited them all to come along to our Easter services.

On Friday night Christina, Lachie (up from Sydney visiting Christina), Troy, Hannah and I went to Cullen Bay to put the invitations to our Easter Services in people's letterboxes. We also prayed while we walked. Cullen Bay is a beautiful suburb, right along the waters edge! It was quite interesting to note that in this suburb a huge number of letterboxes have a "no junk mail" sign on them and also we even noticed that some houses did not even have a letter box!

Tomorrow night we will do some more letter box dropping in the suburb of Lyons. This is where our Sunday service is going to be held.

I am so excited for this coming weekend....
