Hello and welcome!
We invite you to join us in person in worship, fellowship, and service. In our expression of Christianity, all are welcome. As believers, we make faith matter in our lives. Prayerfully, our parish family is walking together to see where God is leading us and inviting us to journey with Him. We look forward to meeting you.
We're calling for your support in the following:
-
Cantata - join the choir for our Cantata on the Third Week of Advent.

Birthday Boxes - contribute towards the Birthday Boxes that are needed in our community: make up a box or donate $15.

You are invited to join us for our Quiet Day on starting Friday 13 through Saturday 14 November.
We're going to be exploring ways to use our quiet time with a specific focus on prayer.
We will start with a short introductory time on Friday evening and continue on Saturday.
We've built the program around 5 different concepts with a mix of activity, reflection and fellowship.
Fr. Tom, Christine and Harold each bring a different perspective to the theme of the day and these have been woven into the program.

Prayer for the Day
Almighty and eternal God,
you have kindled the flame of love
in the hearts of the saints:
grant to us the same faith and power of love,
that, as we rejoice in their triumphs,
we may be sustained by their example and fellowship;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
The Fourth Sunday before Advent
From the Anglican Fellowship of Prayer
Father of all, remember your holy promise,
and look with love on all your people, living and departed.
On this day we especially ask that you would hold forever
all who have suffered during war, those who returned scarred by warfare,
those who waited anxiously at home,
and those who returned wounded, and disillusioned;
those who mourned, and those communities that were diminished and suffered loss.
Remember too those who acted with kindly compassion,
those who bravely risked their own lives for their comrades,
and those who in the aftermath of war, worked tirelessly for a more peaceful world.
And as you remember them, remember us, O Lord;
grant us peace in our time and a longing for the day when people of every language, race, and nation will be brought into the unity of Christ’s kingdom.
This we ask in the name of the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
