Our mission: to reflect Christ alive in the Community

Greetings to you out there in your homes. These Sundays.

we worship together in our homes in the homelands of the Wallumedegal people. We acknowledge their Elders, past and present.

We hope that you will experience the presence of God in and through the Service sent out, privately or as a Family joining with the people of God who continue to gather in Spirit although not physically.

PRAYER

Life-giving God, your Son came into the world

to free us all from sin and death:

breathe upon us with the power of your Spirit,

that we may be raised to new life in Christ,

and serve you in holiness and righteousness all our days;

through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever. Amen.

As we navigate this new and challenging time, our Synod is seeking to address concerns as they arise. Many our congregations have been asking about how weddings and funerals can happen during the coronavirus pandemic. The answer is that in all situations, the Government restrictions must be followed. Currently, this has seen the closure of all non-essential services, which includes places of worship. Our Synod has put out a set of guidelines - https://nswact.uca.org.au/ to cover this.
