Lord of all life and power, who through the mighty resurrection of your Son overcame the

old order of sin and death to make all things new in him:  grant that we, being dead to sin

and alive to you in Jesus Christ, may reign with him in glory;  to whom with you and the 

Holy Spirit be praise and honour, glory and might, now and in all eternity.

Amen

Message from Janice and David    

THANK YOU ! 

We would like to thank the congregations of ABBC for a wonderful Sunday.   We were both

overwhelmed  by the love and generosity that were so evident, in fact a simple “thank you”

can’t do our feelings justice.  We would like to thank Kim and Bishop Ian for their part in it all

and especially the “catering corps”.   The food was amazing and the work that went into it all –

cooking, setting up, clearing away and washing up – was 5*.

The whole day said something special about ABBC that is worth holding on to.

Thank you again.

Canon Janice and David

                Love incarnate,

                Fountain of Mercy and Justice

                In a world of inequity and pain

                May our actions be our prayer.

                We cry out for Shalom, the fullness of life to all.

                Let the Spirit of Truth guide us.

                Let the Spirit of Love free us.

                Give us the compassion, courage and resolve

                to become the light,  we seek

                that many may see life and their dignity restored.

                Inspire us to embody a world without injustice and prejudice.

                Form us into channels of your love and peace.

                Let the river of justice and mercy flood our imperfect world

                Quenching the thirst of parched souls and lands.

                Abide in  us o liberator that we become the voices of  your Word

                so that the world may have life, life in all its abundance.

 

                Amen
