Being a dad is a big deal. Like anything worth doing, it takes effort and involves challenges.

At our next Men’s Dinner, father of five and Christian leader Rob Powell will share some lessons he’s learned over the years, from applying God’s truth to the joyous challenge of being a dad.

If you’re a dad, might be a dad one day or want to best support others as they raise their own kids come along.

The details are:

• Mon Jul 20, 7pm for dinner, followed by talk at 8pm
• At St Mark’s Anglican Church Pennnant Hills(see here for location)
• Only $10

At St Mark’s Anglican Church Pennant Hills we have a four wheel drive club called TRAX. Anybody in our community who likes four wheel driving is welcome on any of our regular trips (even if you don’t have your own four wheel drive). You can see some photos from our latest trip to Olney State Forest here. If you’d like to find out more about TRAX contact us.

At St Mark’s we’ve started a preaching series on the part of the Bible called Proverbs. Is it possible that ancient Hebrew riddles could provide wisdom for living useful, fruitful and nobles lives in the suburbs of 21st century Sydney? Come along and lets find out together.

Over 100 people attended our recent dinner to raise funds in support of Mukti; a Christian mission which is taking action to bring hope, and a positive future, to girls and women in India. Over $2000 was raised.
Mukti provides secure, Christian homes for destitute women and children where they find love, care and acceptance regardless of their backgrounds. If you couldn’t be there but would like to support this fantastic organisation visit mukti.org.au.

St Mark’s Anglican Church Pennant Hills has a new logo.

If you see this, it’s us.

The new Dan Brown movie angels & demons is out. On the plus side, Tom Hanks has lost that hideous hairstyle from the first movie. On the minus side, this movie, like the first one presents things as true which aren’t.

It must be exam time at Westminister Theological Seminary. In a desperate attempt to procrastinate on their exam prep, they’ve put together a website exploring some of the claims of the movie. You can find it here. If you’re the kind of person who develops their spiritual worldview primarily on the basis of poorly edited Hollywood blockbusters, I commend it to you.

Steve House is a prison chaplain who loves Jesus, his wife, his son and his Harley Davidson, basically in that order.

Steve gave us a great ‘no mucking around’ talk at our last Men’s Breakfast. As we munched on our bacon and eggs Steve asked us the question ‘what are we fighting for in life as men who are loyal to the cause of Jesus?’

It was a helpful talk and so we’ve made it available below. Warning: contains strong language and references to the Bible.

We’ve just uploaded a short video that gives a bit of a taste of some of the great children’s ministry at St Mark’s Anglican Church Pennant Hills.

You’ll find it it here, with details of our Sunday and mid-week children’s programs.

Throughout the year St Mark’s Anglican Church Pennant Hills hosts a series of men’s dinners with an after dinner speaker. At our last one, academic and theologian Richard Gibson helped us explore the Bible’s wisdom on the topic of Men and Anger. He had some really helpful and interesting things to say so we’re posted his remarks as an audio file below. If you’d like details of upcoming men’s dinners you can get in contact with us here.
