Today, in the Anglican Cycle of Prayer, we pray for the Anglican Church of Australia and for the Primate, the Rt Revd Dr Mark Short, Bishop of Canberra and Goulburn.

Let us pray for:

🙏 The life of the Church – for Bishop Mark, bishops, clergy and laity across Australia’s 23 dioceses, and for the Church as it carries forward the work and discernment of its recent General Synod.

🙏 Mission and discipleship – giving thanks for the legacy of Hope25 and praying for renewed evangelism, discipleship, church planting and revitalisation through Vision36.

🙏 First Nations Anglican leadership – for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Anglicans, the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Anglican Council and the strengthening of First Nations leadership and ministry across the Church. Give thanks for the funding for a full-time National Aboriginal Bishop and pray for the person who will be called into this ministry.

🙏 Regional and rural ministry – for Anglican communities serving across Australia’s vast geography, that churches in rural, regional and remote places may be supported and strengthened in their witness and service.

Amen.

On Thursday 27th August at the Cathedral Church of St Alban the Martyr, Griffith, we gathered for a Solemn Eucharist on the occasion of the Laying Up of the Pastoral Staff by the 11th Bishop of Riverina and the Diocesan Farewell to Bishop Donald and Camryn Kirk.

We were joined by visiting Bishops, Deans, Clergy and Parishioners, as well as a large contingent of our own clergy and parishioners from across our vast Diocese. Many thanks to all who travelled, who assisted with our worship, and especially to all who assisted in any way with the hospitality that followed. We were able to say farewell in true Riverina style.

Go on your journey, following the call of the Creator,
rejoicing in rest, and inspired for new beginnings.
May the Lord bless you and keep you;
May the Lord make his face to shine upon you,
and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
and give you peace, now and at all times.

We prepare this week for Bishop Donald's final days with us as the 11th Bishop of the Diocese of Riverina.

If you are able to join us for the Laying Up of the Pastoral Staff, please contact the registry office so that we can finalise seating and catering.

Please gather together with us to wish Bishop Donald and Camryn a happy retirement, and a safe move north, to be with their family.

The joy of ecumenical support. Fr Paul Kumasaka and Archbishop +Christopher Prowse (Catholic Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn) in conversation. This is an example of the Christian Churches working together for the good of the local community.

Our Diocese is vast in size and few in number, so it is always a joy when we come together to learn, celebrate and share in fellowship.

Our utmost gratitude goes to Fr Paul Kumasaka and the Parish of Lake Cargelligo for hosting this week's Clergy Conference, our guests, Dr Scott Kirkland of Trinity College, and our Professional Standards Director Brian Douglas. Also included in our week was a trip across the dusty plains to the Farm Chapel "Christ the King" which is part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn, located north of Tullibigeal on the Farm "Bolo" between Lake Cargelligo, Kiacatoo and Condobolin.

Many thanks to all who presented, attended and participated. "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them."

Did you 'borrow' the Hoselink hose from the Registry office over the weekend?
Perhaps your mum was the benefactor for her well-deserved Mother's Day gift?
Could you get in touch please and let us know when it will be returned!
