Our Lord Jesus promises to remove the heavy load, and bury it at the foot of the Cross. He is the one who sets us free, and if the Son sets us free we shall be free indeed. (John 8:36)
The evil one is the accuser so be in your guard because he is a liar and the father of lies. (John 8:44)
Don’t listen to the accusations. Trust in the promises of our Lord. “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIV)
Hold fast to the promises of God, and spend time basking in the light of his presence. Feel the warmth of his love, and believe. What do we believe? The burden has gone, dropped off, gone.

We suggest that you dress warmly for church!
So far we do not have any record of virus transmission related to our church service on Sunday.
One strategy we have used is cross ventilation. We will continue to do this as the weather gets cooler, so please keep this in mind as you choose clothing for Sunday mornings.
And wear a mask, please
To this point in time, we have been very successful at Wesley in responding to the coronavirus pandemic that has been with us for more than two years.
The movement of air through a building substantially reduces the risk of cross-infection. By opening doors and windows around the church, we move air in and out of the building and reduce the risk of airborne transmission.
This was quite comfortable in the summer months, but with the approach of winter it has the potential to cause discomfort. While we will do all we can to manage this, it is recommended that you dress warmly for church. If you dress as you would for a service outside the building you can remain comfortable, even on cold days.
The other successful strategy is the wearing of a mask. This is no longer mandatory, but is highly recommended by NSW Health.
