World Rivers Day
The 5th Mark of Mission in the worldwide Anglican Communion emphasizes the church’s responsibility to care for the environment.
Connection
The early church embodied connection, grace and abundance, sharing life, meals and stories with people far from God.
Holy Cross Day
It is also often that we cross ourselves as a sign that we gather or act in the Lord’s name, whenever we receive a blessing, especially the blessing of absolution, before receiving Holy Communion and also when we commend the dead to God.
Christ’s Sacrificial Love
This Sunday is one to remember and reflect on the humiliating and agonising way Jesus died for us all
The Gift of God’s Law
Quite simply - will we choose to accept and embrace the radical love of God or not.
Righteousness
To be righteous is to be generous in both giving and lending. The righteous are those who are generous and conduct their business fairly.
St Bartholemew
The Good News that they shared was, and is, that all people are called to be disciples of Jesus by the gracious Gift of God’s Love.
Christian Education
Each school’s context is different but for any teaching programme to be effective the engagement of the school Principal and teachers is vital.
From the Wardens - St. Stephen
Despite the persecution he faced, Stephen remained steadfast in his faith. He did not back down or compromise his beliefs, but instead, he boldly proclaimed the truth of the gospel. His staunch devotion to God ultimately led to his martyrdom, as he was stoned to death for his faith.
