Dennis at Tamworth

Well, today is the start of the new life.
Dennis has officially left us today to go to Tamworth.
While he  does not start at the jail until Tuesday, he left us with the van in tow this morning.

As you may know, Dennis is no longer preaching at Dungog Clarence Town, but he has been asked to do supply at different churches.

He was asked to preach at Singleton Presbyterian Church today.





As Singleton (Singo) is on the way to Tamworth, he decided to take the van to church and keep traveling on after the service.

Tomorrow he has to be at Glenn Inness by around 8.30, so it made sense for him to go to Tamworth and then on to Glenn Inness in the morning.

Then.. Tuesday start at the prison.

Please pray for him as he learns more about his job.  He has spent the last few weeks commuting to Sydney. This last week he went to Silverwater Jail, had some inductions, met other chaplains, and met with others helping him get ready for this work.

As you may imagine, security is important, so he had to learn the protocol, get the final security tags and other important things.

He also has to go to the Bible College in Sydney once a month for this year to do a chaplaincy course.

Dennis hates to be away from home, so it is hard for him and he worries how Glenys will handle everything while he is away.

Dennis will be home Thursday evening after he finishes at the prison. He will leave the van at Tamworth. A Christian  from Tamworth  is letting him leave the van on his property.

Then on Monday evening, he will turn around an commute back to Tamworth to work again.

Please pray for the people he will meet. We are asking God to give Dennis the wisdom to deal with all he meets, and for God to work in the hearts of the inmates and the workers there.
