In a recent reflection on faith, a passage from Romans 10:11-13 emphasizes the universal nature of belief, stating that "whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed." This scripture highlights the equality of all individuals, regardless of their background, asserting that the same Lord is accessible to everyone who calls upon Him. The message reinforces the idea that salvation is available to all who seek it. In community news, the Monteiro family celebrated the arrival of a new member on August 17, 2024, as Yasmim (née Monteiro) and Frederick welcomed their daughter, Isobel Rosemary. This joyful occasion adds to the family's legacy and marks a significant milestone in their lives. Similarly, the Rackham family also experienced a moment of joy on the same day, with Olivia Barter and Calum Rackham announcing the birth of their daughter, Marcie Willa Grace. These births reflect the ongoing cycle of life and the joy that new beginnings bring to families and communities. In a somber note, the community mourns the passing of Dr. John Sturges Bastin, who died peacefully at home on August 7, 2024, at the age of 97. A beloved husband to Rita and father to Christopher, Jennifer, Mark, and Marianne, Dr. Bastin's legacy will be remembered fondly by his family and the wider community.
