At night, as I dreamt, God summoned the day; For God never sleeps but patterns the morning with slithers of gold or glory in grey. Today I arise and Christ is beside me. He walked through the dark to scatter new light. Yes, Christ is alive, and beckons his people to hope and to heal, restore and invite. I(#)$( H 1. Hail the day that sees him rise Alleluya! Glorious to his native skies; Alleluya! Christ, awhile to mortals given, Alleluya! Enters now the highest heaven! Alleluya! 2. There the glorious triumph waits; Alleluya! Lift your head, eternal gates! Alleluya! Christ hath vanquished death and sin; Alleluya! Take the King of Glory in! Alleluya! 3. See! the heaven its Lord receives, Alleluya! Yet he loves the earth he leaves: Alleluya! Though returning to his throne, Alleluya! Still he calls mankind his own. Alleluya! 4. See! he lifts his hands above; Alleluya! See! he shows the prints of love: Alleluya! Hark! his gracious lips bestow Alleluya! Blessings on his Church below. Alleluya! 5. Still for us he intercedes; Alleluya!

Amen Lambs will be gathered by the shepherds and led to the vestry for their own Ministry of the Word. MINISTRY OF THE WORD A R&A$ L#) (%& L&((&# )L P? () (%& EM%&$ 1: 15 -23 Read by Alice de Jonge I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, and for this reason I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my pray- ers. I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him, so that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints, and what is the im- measurable greatness of his power for us who believe, according to the working of his great power. God put this power to work in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come. And he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all. For the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. 5 G#A? H 1. The head that once was crowned with 3. The joy of all who dwell above, thorns The joy of all below, Is crowned with glory now: To whom he manifests his love, A royal diadem adorns And grants his name to know. The mighty Victor’s brow. 4. To them the cross, with all its shame. 2. The highest place that heaven affords With all its grace, is given: Is his, is his by right, Their name an everlasting name, The King of kings and Lord of lords, Their joy the joy of heaven. And heaven’s eternal light; 5. They suffer with the Lord below, They reign with him above, Their profit and their joy to know The mystery of his love. G)M&? A''?($) The Lord said: I will not leave you orphans. I will come back to you, and your hearts will rejoice. T%& H)? G)M&? The Lord be with you. And also with you. The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Mark Glory to you Lord Jesus Christ. 16: 15 -20 Jesus said to the disciples, “Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation. The one who believes and is baptised will be saved; but the one who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: by using my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes in their hands, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recov- er.” So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and proclaimed the good news everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that accompanied it. The Gospel of the Lord Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. 6. The cross he bore is life and health, Though shame and death to him; His people’s hope, his people’s wealth, Their everlasting theme.

P#)L&$) )L F$(% We believe in one God, the Father, the almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the FatherI through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius PilateI he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the ScripturesI he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to Fudge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

  • Draft Synod Minutes 11 October 2016
    1 50th Synod of the Diocese of Sydney 3rd Ordinary Session Minutes of Proceedings of the Synod for Tuesday 11 October 2016 1. Assembly The Synod assembled in the Wesley Theatre at 3.15 pm. 2. Bible study The Rev Gary Koo led the Bible study. 3. Minutes The President signed the minutes for Monday 10 October 2016. 4. Answers to Questions 4.1 Distribution of funds raised by Anglicare in the Syrian and Iraqi Refugee appeal The Rev David Clarke asked the following question – How much of the $746,000 raised by Anglicare in the Syrian and Iraqi Refugee appeal has so far been distributed to parishes currently engaged in ministering to Syrian and Iraqi people? To which the President replied – In September 2015, I called upon the Sydney Diocese to come together to mount a prayerful, practical, sustained and effective response to assist refugees coming to Australia fleeing the Syrian conflict. As the lead organisation for this response, Anglicare launched the Archbishop’s Syrian Refugee Appeal and designed a program that addressed current gaps in service delivery, and which would involve wherever possible the involvement of parishes and individual Sydney Anglicans. Between September 2015 and May 2016, the appeal raised $746,000, enough to fully fund the program until July 2018. Parishes do not receive direct funding through this program, however resources are directed toward parish-based programs. The program involves – Parish-based English as a Second Language (ESL) classes; Community and parish-based Early Learning Through Play courses to prepare pre-school aged refugee children for kindergarten; Family support and trauma counselling through Anglicare’s Hope Counselling program; Training for parish volunteers in assisting refugees; and Assistance with material needs and transitional accommodation.

  • Synod 2021: Presidential Address (Peter Hayward)
    Presidential Address First Session of the 52nd Synod of the Diocese of Sydney The Right Reverend Peter Hayward 3rd May 2021 Members of Synod welcome to the first ordinary session of the 52nd Synod of the Diocese of Sydney. When the 51st ordinary session concluded in October 2019, the Pandemic and the circumstances that have occurred over the last 19 months were not even remotely contemplated. Yet, in God's providence, we now meet for a one-day session of Synod. Immediately following this session will be a special session of the 52nd Synod to elect a new Archbishop. His kindness has given us the opportunity to keep going in the good to which he calls us. As we gather in the presence of God, I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land upon which we meet. In his wisdom and love, our heavenly Father gave this estate to the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. Upon this land they met for generations until the coming of British settlers. As we continue to learn to live together on these ancestral lands, we acknowledge and pay our respects to their elders, past and present, and pray that God will unite us all in the knowledge of his Son, in whom all things were created, in heaven and on earth, whether visible or invisible—for all things have been created through him and for him. Aboriginal Ministry The existence of the City of Sydney and its foundation and growth is all a consequence of what occurred from the beginning of white settlement when Aboriginal people were dispossessed of their land.

  • Diocese of Chester Cycle of Prayer
    Diocese of Chester Cycle of Prayer – 2nd August to 5th September 2020 Welcome As this is being compiled pandemic restrictions have begun to ease but resources previously used for this Diocesan Cycle of Prayer remain unavailable. Consequently, and like the three previous monthly editions, the Cycle is once again being produced in a temporary format. The intention is that despite the difficulties of present circumstances our informed intercession for one another should be maintained. As always every parish, deanery and church school is included in order over the course of the complete year. The dioceses of the Anglican Communion worldwide are also included – a very longstanding commitment in this diocese that goes back several generations. The one change in content to that in the printed version is that Sunday entries have become prompts for prayer and reflection based on a thought taken from one of the lectionary passages for the day. These entries are simply ‘thoughts for the day’ that may, or may not (!), aid your own reflection on scripture. They are offered not as models but encouragements to your own endeavours. If you would like to contribute to these ‘prompts,’ please be in touch. As always, intentions for inclusion in future issues are also welcome, please email [email protected] Christopher Burkett Editor and Director of Ministry 2 August The Eighth Sunday after Trinity (Prompted by the Gospel set for Proper 13A) Jesus orders the crowds to sit down. I went on a time management course once, and one of the things we were encouraged to do was to let a person know non-verbally when you haven't got time to deal with them – we were told to stand up, and that would sent most people on their way! I'm troubled by the pastoral insensitivity of it, but nonetheless it's an interesting point.

  • Prayer Diary
    Anglican Diocese of Grafton Prayer Diary 2020 A LETTER FROM THE BISHOP Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, In 1 Kings 18:41-46 we read about Elijah’s prayer on Mount Carmel. He “climbed to the top of Mount Carmel and bowed himself down upon the earth and prayed with his face between his knees”. For those of us who don’t do Yoga or Pilates, Elijah’s prayer posture does not sound very comfortable or even achievable. It does however speak of the intensity and authenticity of his prayer. One Christian writer on prayer says that from this passage we know that Elijah was not putting on a front or trying to hide his feelings. He was praying authentically. The Scriptures underline the importance of a personal prayer life that is authentic and genuine (e.g. Matthew 6:5-6). We get to know a person by spending time with them and understanding their concerns, desires and perspective. The same can be said for our relationship with God. Prayer is fundamentally relational, as we spend time with God, cultivating our relationship with him and genuinely listening for his will in all that we bring before him. C.S. Lewis spoke of this relational nature of prayer, of the need to pray in all circumstances: “I pray because I can’t help myself” he wrote, “I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping”. The ministries that are listed in this Prayer Diary are many and varied. As we bring them before God day by day in our personal and corporate prayers, let us genuinely seek his will in all that is done in his name.
