By the way, you may have noticed that we have a fellowship for international students running each week, before church, in the foyer. You'd be very welcome if you'd like to come along some time. We are most keen for domestic students to be meeting overseas students. And we share a meal together!

Church for all nations
John's vision of the future in Revelation chapter 7 shows people from every tribe and language and people and nation. This is God's design for church. No nationalism, no racism, no tribalism, no elitism, no individualism. It was a joy to look at our congregation on Easter Sunday evening and see so many people from so many different places. On my count (during a moment of distraction!) roughly one third of the congregation were international students. How exciting to experience a little taste of heaven, here in Canberra, Australia. Let's thank God for bringing so many people together to get to know him and one another better. And next Sunday, why not take the time to meet someone who comes from a different country to you?
