Psalm 23 (Phil Bignill)
Phil & Julie Bignill were part of our church leadership for over 20 years! From my recollection it was 1995 when they moved to Cairns to pastor our church. And then in 2015 Phil moved into a regional role with Churches of Christ. Julie worked in the office for many years as well, and served the church in so many ways.

Many of us are isolated, lonely and disconnected, but we may not even be aware of how negatively this is affecting us. In this series we’ll learn about how good friends (and bad friends) can impact our lives, our relationship with God and our future. We want to fight the trend…
