Last week at Maybanke, we came together for our annual Christmas candlelight dinner - an evening filled with warmth, connection and togetherness ✨🕯🎄

Our wonderful catering team served up a festive-themed menu perfect for the occasion, featuring ham and turkey with cranberry gravy, saffron-spiced cauliflower Wellington, garlic roasted potatoes, nutmeg-dusted pumpkin and a classic plum pudding. Delicious!

There was joy and laughter as stories were shared and memories created around each table.

From a childhood marked by hardship to a lifetime of service across the world ❤️

Major Barry Pobjie’s journey with The Salvation Army began with two Officers who kept showing up - and it changed everything. Alongside his wife, Major Raemor, Barry went on to serve across Australia and overseas, sharing a life shaped by faith, courage and a simple willingness to say “yes”.

Now, life has come full circle. With their children continuing the legacy of Officership, and Barry supported through Salvos Home Care, this is a story of resilience, love, and care that carries on — at every stage of life.

“We are blessed,” Raemor says — and honestly, it shows. ✨

The couple shared many appointments during their time as Officers, with Barry having visited 55 countries and Raemor 51.

In the wake of the tragic events at Bondi, we stand together to honour the lives lost and to hold in our hearts the families, first responders, and communities impacted. Even in deep sorrow, love, hope, and compassion endure, and no one walks alone.

At this time of national anguish, we stand united to honour the people who lost their lives in the tragic events at Bondi Beach. We pray for those whose lives have been forever changed, for families grieving, for first responders, and for the wider community.

Even in the darkest times, God’s love remains, and hope is not destroyed. May all Australians, and those beyond our shores, feel his loving comfort and know that you are not alone.

“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me” (Psalm 23:4, NIV).

Together, we bear witness to love, peace and compassion.
