Good-bye Mill Park Baptist Church

This is a reflective/memory because we have officially left Mill Park Baptist Church. We have pieced together some photographic memories of our 25 years being a part of this faith community. The pictures are roughly chronological starting with an amazing picture of how the church looked when we first started going there, even while still living in Brunswick! That was all it was - a "quick build" structure that popped up on one wet weekend half a year before we rocked up. The children, especially in the early snaps are a grown up now. The river of time never stops. We were involved in all the programs below, especially Children's Church, and many others that we don't have pictures of. We have moved our energies into a Mill Park Anglican Church 'plant'. It might seem like we are setting up in competition! when in fact we are exploring what God would have us do next. After all, it really is God's mission and our theology must always hold on to that fact.
