He is risen! Alleluia!
May the risen Christ fill your soul with joy today.
May you live as one who has seen the empty tomb and cannot keep the good news to yourself.
In the name of Christ, Alleluia!
On a day when peaceful celebration has been distorted through acts of violence and hatred, we pray for those who have died and been injured in the attack at Bondi beach at the beginning of Hanukkah.
Comfort those who have lost loved ones. Strengthen them and grant them peace.
Stand close to those who seek answers and with those tasked with understanding and responding to these acts of violence.
Happy Christmas from the Methodist Church!
Together we celebrate the incredible gift of Jesus, and pray the Christ-child, God’s greatest gift, may fill your soul with joy today 🎁❤️
May the deep darkness of this day be met by responses of respect, compassion and solidarity as we continue to draw alongside our sisters and brothers of Jewish faith in our prayers.
A Prayer in response to the attack at Bondi Beach 🙏
Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the universe, who grants us light, sustains us in life and guides us in the ways of holiness.
Happy New Year!
As we enter 2026, we reflect on where we saw glimmers of God’s love and gifts in ourselves and those around us, and how we may be gifts to those around us this year 🎁❤️
We pray for an ending to all acts of religious or racially based hatred that we may dwell in your light and seek a world in which all may walk safely alongside their neighbour.
Amen.
