Please follow the guidance from the sides-person as you come for Holy Communion. You are most welcome to stay for fellowship (with light refreshments) in the church hall after the worship services. As a special treat, there is fruit cake and port after the 11PM Christmas Eve service. For the children, please collect a copy of the Christmas booklet which was kindly provided by Bible Society.

    Anglican Diocese of Grafton Prayer Diary 2018 A LETTER FROM THE BISHOP Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, This 2018 edition of our Diocesan Prayer Diary once again gathers the prayer requests of all our ministry units and agencies, enabling us to focus our prayers through the year, upholding each other and lovingly supporting each other. Although we are scattered along the coastal strip of northern NSW, from Tweed Heads south to Port Macquarie, we are held together by our love of God, our commitment to each other and to the Gospel, and by the prayer we offer for each other day by day, week by week, throughout the year. As we pray, so we offer a gift of love to those for whom we are praying. The very act of prayer also deepens our own relationship with God. I encourage you to pray for the people, parishes, schools and agencies of the Diocese, and particularly for the Discernment Synod and Bishop’s Appointment process. As 2018 unfolds there will be many prayer points which emerge. If you would like to receive the weekly Diocesan Prayer Chain, please contact the Rev’d David Hanger at [email protected]. This weekly email offers an up to date list of prayer points. May you be richly blessed in your prayer life. Grace and peace, The Right Reverend Dr Sarah Macneil DAY 1 Although I can't see the outcome, you will be beside me whatever happens to me I am always in your hands.

  • 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.
