While this continued, there was a chance to have valuables appraised by an expert. Once again, Cotton Sax entertained us with his eclectic mix of songs and instrumental tracks. The local scouts provided a BBQ and there was coffee or fresh ice cream available. Young James provided tours as required and young Jack took photos of the event. Two weeks later, the Museum hosted morning Tea and BBQ lunch for the Dungog Rattlin’ Bones and Engine Groans Club AGM and Ordinary Meeting. The museum also received a $100 donation from this Club. Yours truly wore two suits from the 1970’s and by an interesting coincidence, one of our lovely Senior Citizens had known the owners of these suits, John Morris OAM, Foundation member of the Maitland Repertory Theatre, and Mr N Pyle, from when she was growing up in Rutherford! A gentleman from Queensland sent some information about his German descendants who arrived at Clarence Town in 1855. They are the Heinz family and the Krohmann family. Their connections here seem tenuous. They remained only a short time here, although owning a block of land in Marshall Street till 1910, before finding much success at Hill End in goldmining and very successful at real estate in Woollahra in Sydney.

In late August a few of the members of CTPC attended the launch of the highly acclaimed movie ‘Sound of Freedom.’ The movie itself has been the subject of much discussion as it is based on a true story where children are rescued from human traffickers. Sadly (but probably unsurprisingly) certain elements within Hollywood have been highly critical of the movie and attempted to undermine its legitimacy by trying to link it to conspiracy theorist organisations. Much of what the movie depicts is based on actual real-life events – something Hollywood has never really majored in. Gets one thinking though, why would Hollywood want to undermine a movie that shines a light on such a dark issue? Considering the history of some in the movie making business, methinks they dost protest too much perhaps? After some initial delays, CTPC is back on track again with our Church building project. God willing work will commence in the not-too-distant future. But in other exciting news we are holding a Christmas at Claro Pressies event on the 18th of November this year. This will be a fun day in the sun for families to come and enjoy a jumping castle, petting zoo, camel rides, The Pretty Amazing Jono, sing carols along with music provided by Maitland City Brass Band, and hear a talk about the real meaning of Christmas! Further details out soon. From the pulpit, we finished our series on the Song of Songs – what an awesome series that was. It generated heaps of discussion and surprised many at how great God’s good design for our sexual relationships within the covenant of marriage can truly be! We are currently in another series continuing to look closely at John’s gospel, to be followed by a series in Genesis focusing on Joseph – a man after God’s own heart. We continue to pray for our town, our leaders, country, and world, both in private and when we meet together and, all the more as we see the great Day of our Lord Jesus approaching. “And what does the LORD require of you? To do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8 In Christ, Rev Allan D. Welch 0402 387 690 Need a Venue for a party, wedding or function ? Why not hire the Hall?
