Pilgrimage '24 Report
Matt Frizzell visit
I am delighted to announce that the Mission Centre will be hosting Dr Matt Frizzell for a 2 week visit at the end of October. Matt currently serves as Denominational Administrator, Community of Christ, Chicago, where he leads a team of Human Resource professionals serving approximately 200 ministers across the U.S.A. and in twenty countries in Africa, Latin America, and Europe. He was formerly the Dean of the church seminary, and before that, campus minister at Graceland University. I served with Matt on the Standing High Council a decade ago.
AWOL 14th July @ 10am
Most of us are familiar with the Parable of the Sower. At the end of the parable Jesus says, “If you have ears, Listen!” I know I will be listening with both ears this Sunday when I tune into Australia Worships On-Line when we will hear Emma Ghazarian from Victoria share with us her insights about the Parable of the Sower. I’m sure there will be plenty of fertile ground to spread the seeds of joy, hope, love and peace when we fellowship together. I look forward to seeing you there as well. RT
It’s 6 months until the next Tiona Reunion Camp!

Stassi was recently called to serve as next President of Community of Christ, and will be the first woman to serve in that role. Stassi resides in the United States and will be joined at Tiona by her husband, Stephen.
