Parish of Toukley/Budgewoi
We decided it would be great for our young people to take on roles and responsibilities in our Sunday service on the 5th Sunday of the month and what a success it was! Our young people range from 2 to 14 years old and they really made the service their own. Welcoming, readings, prayers, offertory, elements, preparation for Communion…they even reminded everyone through song “My God is so BIG, so strong and so mighty – there’s nothing my God cannot do!” Our resident musicians joined forces and our hymns were all accompanied by guitars and the organ. Fr Walter ensured a group of the children were able to sing their song while the congregation left the Church – but no one did! It was simply beautiful.
The Deacon Among Us
