REFLECTION:
Today is Mission Sunday where we place emphasis upon task of making
disciples of Jesus, proclaiming the gospel to the Nations. At this time it is
right to think of those who take the gospel to the nations, and our first
Nations people, but some deeper more fundamental questions need to be
asked on a day such as this. Where are people to go? Who is to be sent out
with this gospel message? To whom do they go?
How is that proclamation to be expressed?
HYMNS
TIS 161 Tell out my soul
MP 463 May the mind of Christ my saviour
MP 288 I need thee every hour
TIS 145 The king of love
BEWARE OF SCAMS
Texts have been going out to parishioners in multiple Anglican churches
across Melbourne pretending to be from the vicar and asking you to contact
them on another number. Something like the following:
Hello ...., this is Rev. Graeme Peters, I'm in a meeting right now, can't talk
on phone but text me back when you get this message, your assistance is
crucial and highly appreciated.
Please ignore them.
Thanks, from the real Graeme Peters.
