Weight of the World? Handling Ministry Expectations.
Thurs 12th March – 7:30-9:30pm – St. John’s Anglican, Wishart.
Friday 13th March – 9:30am-12noon – City North Baptist Church, Kedron.
We live in a world full of expectations and as Christian women married to men in ministry, we often experience many additional expectations. We have a unique “window” into the life of our husband’s ministry, and we see all the needs! There are always jobs that need doing, ministries to be run, events that need hosting and people to be cared for. The expectations seem to come from every angle. How do we manage the weight of these expectations? How do we make choices about how to spend our time? How do we live our lives for the glory of Jesus and the good of others while finding joy and peace in our relationship with Him?
Cathy is married to Paul, who is her childhood sweetheart! After 28 years we have three gorgeous “kids” ranging from 15-20 years old, and in God’s kindness we still enjoy spending time together! We were challenged during early adult-hood to consider a vocation in Christian ministry, and God has given us numerous opportunities to serve Him as we have followed that path. Paul spent many years on the staff team at the University of NSW, a short sting writing for Matthias Media, and he is now in his fourth year as the Dean of Students at Moore Theological College in Sydney. Cathy has loved the privilege of being a wife and a mother, as well as many opportunities to encourage and teach women and children about Jesus. In particular, she has been privileged to be involved in the lives of women whose husbands are training for christian ministry.
