This morning members and associates of APWM, accompanied by guests from Vanuatu, were guests of Epping Presbyterian Church (Sydney).
We were encouraged by both the 9.00am and 10.30am services, at which we heard sermons from Matthew Oates on Hosea 13/14 and Russell Smidt on Joel 3, respectively. The early service featured contemporary songs and the later one older songs, with both congregations in good voice, ably supported by musicians and others.
Afterward Epping provided us with lunch, at which Rev Kalorongo Ova, Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Vanuatu brought greetings to us and told us something of the church’s current situation. Then Rev. Kalorongo was joined by his wife Rose, along with PWMU Vanuatu President Mrs Leifai Chilia and the PWMU General Secretary Mrs Cyrilline Bani in singing a song for us.
It was lovely to watch the former Vanuatuans present quietly adding their voices to the praise.
