Pastor Brenton
Pastor Brenton is the best minister! He is the minister of our church, as well as four other churches in our region (there aren’t a lot of Lutheran Pastors willing to come to rural NSW, and we aren’t even that rural!). This means that he is very busy and we are one of the only churches in Dubbo to only have one service a week, but that’s OK, because he makes the most of every minute! He has amazing sermons, and he always tries to use props or stories to make it easy to understand, for example when he was talking about Jesus and the Lepers he had a (empty!) sharps container and a chemical waste bag at the front of the church surrounded by bright orange bunting with a flashing light on top, and he was wearing a safety vest over his robes!
But the best part is the kids address, where he simplifies one of the main points of the sermon for the young kids (we don’t have sunday school). They may be aimed at the kids, but everyone loves them. They often involve making or doing something, thus far they have made perfume, bread, paper chains, bionicles, and many more things! Today he was teaching about how the Holy Spirit gave the deciples the power to preach to the people…by mixing bi-carb soda (the deciples) with vinegar (the Holy Spirit) in a film canister, making it fly into the air, to show how without the Holy Spirit the deciples couldn’t do anything!
Do you like your minister? What do they do to get your attention?
