ASSEMBLY INSIGHT – WEEK 9:
Our Assembly reflections also include our diocesan resources, including people, property and finances. We pray that we may be open to the Holy Spirit as we discern a missionary future for our diocese.
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28: 19-20
Prayer of the Faithful:
We pray that we might be good stewards of our diocesan resources, whether people, property or money, that through the Synod and Assembly process, we may listen to the Holy Spirit and discern the future together.
ASSEMBLY WEBINARS: Monday nights at 7:30pm,
are a chance for everyone to get involved in thinking about some of the key themes that came from last year’s Synod listening. Register here:
