Don't let people
pull you into their storm.
But instead,
pull them
into your peace
and make all things new. - Pema Chödrön

We join the Catholic community around the world in praying for Pope Leo XIV during his illness and recovery.

Uniting Church President Rev Charissa Suli offers a prayer for healing, strength and peace, and for all those caring for him. Together, we also hold in prayer everyone in our communities who is sick or hurting.

As part of the wider Christian Church, we share in one another’s joys and struggles, united in Christ through faith, hope and love.

Please join us in prayer. Read the President’s reflection and full prayer below.

Thank you, Fuli, for the glorious message this morning.
Our readings this week were Exodus 32:1-14; Psalm 106: 1-6; Philippians 4:1-9 and Mattthew 22:1-14

Fuli offered us five lessons for our lives.
PRAYER:
Faithful and merciful God, help us to remember Your goodness when waiting is difficult. Forgive us when other things take Your place in our lives. Teach us to respond wholeheartedly to Your grace, to bring our worries to You, and to seek peace with one another. Give us compassion to pray for others and generous hearts to welcome them. May our words and actions reflect the love of Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray. Amen.

1. Keep God at the centre, especially when waiting is difficult. When waiting becomes difficult, remember the prayers that God has answered, the strength He has provided and the people through whom He has shown us love.
2. God's mercy invites a sincere response. Are we allowing God's mercy to shape us? Does our faith influence how we speak, how we treat people and how we respond when we are wrong? God's invitation is generous. Our response should be wholehearted.
3. Practise faith through prayer, gratitude and peaceful relationships. This week, perhaps each of us could bring one particular worry to God and take one practical step towards peace with another person.
4. Stand in the gap for others through prayer. Moses stood in the gap through prayer. We, too, can bring others before God - someone whose faith is struggling, a case of hardship, a discouraged friend, a damaging choice... Who might God be calling us to stand in the gap for today?
5. Make room for others in God's family. Making room can begin with something simple: learning a name, sharing a conversation, offering a seat, or listening. Perhaps it is praying, repairing a broken relationship or seeking forgiveness.

God, when my mind is loud and everything in me feels like it needs to move faster, meet me here.

When my thoughts are racing and my body feels restless, remind me that You are strong even when I am not.
Jesus, teach me to slow down in Your presence.

When I feel like I need to fix everything, remind me that You are already God.
When my thoughts spiral, anchor me in what is true.
When I feel overwhelmed, remind me that You are not overwhelmed by me.

My inability to hold everything together does not mean that everything is falling apart in Your hands.
You are my refuge and strength, not just as something I know in my head, but as a reality I can rest in right now.
When everything in me wants to rush, remind me that You are unhurried. When I want to control the outcome, teach me to surrender. When I feel like I cannot carry another thing, remind me that I was never meant to carry everything alone.

Help me receive Your peace instead of striving to create my own.

Help me breathe, pause, pray, and remember:
You are here.
You are with me.
You are holding me.
Slow me down enough to hear Your voice.

And gently remind my whole being:
“Be still, and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10

How blessed were we this morning!! 🥰 We had glorious singing, a beautiful Children's Message that enthusiastically involved the whole congregation as we reenacted Moses and the Red Sea, and then a fabulous, engaging Message which gave us all time to think about how we will approach our own battles. God is good - all the time. In our congregation, we give thanks for the blessings he is providing, and the talents he is bringing forth. "Look what the Lord has done."
Proserpine services are at 9:30am on Sunday and all are welcome! We are family friendly ♥
