OUR FAITH

PRAYER

Loving God, we thank you for this glad time of year, this Advent season which reminds us of so much, and which reveals so wonderfully the extent of your love. For your coming and coming again in Christ, we thank you in the glory of your name. Amen

We pray ...

for those who have, and are, being affected by the bushfires, for Xavier Thomas as he receives the Eucharist for the first time this Sunday, and for our St Nicholas Community as we begin the journey through the season of Advent
