timely sermon entitled “It’s not an easy road”, however,<br />
he stressed that serving our Lord should be easy and<br />
without burden, as long as one serves Him wholeheartedly.<br />
The last event of the ceremony was the announcement<br />
of the appointment of district superintendents and<br />
pastors. It was good to see that all pastors answered<br />
their callings for another year in the spirits of unity and<br />
sacrifice.<br />
With the announcement of the venue for 16th session<br />
for Annual Conference, which is at Swan Valley, Perth,<br />
WA, we concluded the 15th session of the Annual<br />
Conference.<br />
The closing ceremony was then conducted by Bishop<br />
Kwang. Newly graduated theological student from WA,<br />
Michael Ting was accepted as member-on trial,<br />
followed by the ordination of 1 deacon (Pastor Christina<br />
Cheong) and 1 elder (Rev. David Tay). It was followed<br />
by the presentation of Pastors’ choir with an aptly titled<br />
song “My covenant”.<br />
It was truly a fruitful 3-day experience. We went, we<br />
discussed, we planned and learned, last but not least,<br />
we had fun, and we returned knowing that we have<br />
gained strength and wisdom to face another year to<br />
“reform the nation and spread scriptural holiness over<br />
the land down under”.<br />
