A video about the Nicene Creed.

I guess some of us find saying the Nicene Creed in Church a bit of a drag at times, but this video from one of my favourite blogs, The Gospel Side by Matt Marino, my counterpart in Arizona, reminds us that it's always relevant and important. Scroll down this page and you'll find the video pretty quickly, with more besides, like nice infographics about the Scripture supporting each line of the Creed.

Saturation Saturday was a Water Blast!

Wet'n'Wild Waterpark at Oxenford was the destination and the crowds were already dense at opening time on a fantastic Saturday with perfect weather for watery fun!

Familiar faces from Senior Ichthus, Junior Ichthus, Primary Ichthus, Emmaus and elsewhere were quickly spotted, along with some great newcomers from parishes all over the Diocese.

A quick roll-call of parishes included: Bardon, Logan, St Lucia, The Gap, Gold Coast North, Chelmer-Graceville, Sunnybank, Mt Gravatt, Bribie Island, Toowoomba, and Nambour, among others. What a good effort from the Sunshine Coast crowd and our friends up the Range!

Once we had found our own group marquee, most people sunscreened up, and headed for the rides. For some reason, the overall crowd numbers seemed low, meaning that queues were short, which is always good.

At 12.30, we reconvened for a few words of thanks and prayer and then we were tucking into the sausage sizzle and drinks organised by AYCF's Lisa Ng, along with Nicholas Ng, and assisted on onion duty by Jeremy Couch from Bribie Island. Suddenly, there were chocolates everywhere for dessert - thank you, chocolate fairies!

After an afternoon of more water fun, we were treated to the aerial entertainment of Dom and Kate flying through the sky above us in the scariest ride of them all! (Sadly, I didn't get a good shot, but if anyone did, PLEASE send it in!)

Thanks to all who came, and if anyone lost any property at our marquee, send me a message as I have a couple of items which were left behind.  See you next year!
