Liturgies

Heather will unpack The Ancient Prayer with us. It is another variation on Jesus teaching. It was at St Mary’s in Exile that she first learned of this translation from the original Aramaic – the language Jesus spoke. It speaks to her of the deeper inclusive language of the Cosmic Christ.

This week, Liz’s explores the religious truth of the Resurrection story. The homily is based on the work of Pastor Dawn Hutchins.

We commemorate Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity to Ireland and by extension, celebrate the heritage and culture of the Irish in general. When so many Irish immigrated to Australia they bought with them this rich heritage and culture thus contributing to the forming and shaping of our Australian identity.

As we continue our Lenten Theme of Living in Harmony, Liz Little will focus on the inherent goodness in human beings.

Continuing on our Lenten theme of acceptance, Terry will explore how the path to acceptance can invite us into a greater dying to the false self. And often we don’t reach out and grab it, more frequently we fall back into it.

This week Narelle takes on one aspect of our Lenten theme “Acceptance”. Narelle will refer to a model of acceptance by Dr Wendell Rosevear, explore acceptance in relation to ageing with links to scriptual examples of older age. The challenge of the power of acceptance is to find our own mountain top of transfguration and “come down from it” to a living reality where acceptance and love can be found in the moment that is.
