18.01.2022 Today's #SeekingShalom prompt challenges us to think about Shalom and the flourishing of all creation as something that does just not happen without action. It ...takes effort, especially the passage that attributes shalom with a call for JUSTICE. As a Shalom-seeker, how are you putting words into action when it comes to encouraging each other for the sake of justice? Who are the oppressed and the vulnerable that God is calling you to learn, seek, encourage, defend and plead for? Tell us below!

15.01.2022 Today is National Sorry Day. National Sorry Day came from one of the recommendations from the Bringing them Home Report released in 1997. Today is the day on th...e nations calendar where we remember the Stolen Generations. "And every morning as the sun came up the whole family would wail. They did that for 32 years until they saw me again. Who can imagine what a mother went through? But you have to learn to forgive." - Inscription at Colebrook Blackwood Reconciliation Park There was my Mother still down on her knees, the scene that I saw broke my heart as though somebody has pierced my heart with a sharp knife, Mother down on her knees and Granny frail old woman put her arms around her Daughter trying to comfort her both crying, tears streaking down my cheeks as we drove away, and that scene has remained with me as I was growing up, it was the last time Ive seen them and they were never to be seen again. - Connie Cole

14.01.2022 Join us for our mid-week reflection in Psalms. *Read:* Psalm 111:1-10 (aligned with Year B Epiphany 4)... Hallelujah! I give thanks to God with everything I’ve got Wherever good people gather, and in the congregation. God’s works are so great, worth A lifetime of studyendless enjoyment! Splendor and beauty mark his craft; His generosity never gives out. His miracles are his memorial This God of Grace, this God of Love. He gave food to those who fear him, He remembered to keep his ancient promise. He proved to his people that he could do what he said: Hand them the nations on a plattera gift! He manufactures truth and justice; All his products are guaranteed to last Never out-of-date, never obsolete, rust-proof. All that he makes and does is honest and true: He paid the ransom for his people, He ordered his Covenant kept forever. He’s so personal and holy, worthy of our respect. The good life begins in the fear of God Do that and you’ll know the blessing of God. His Hallelujah lasts forever! *Reflect:* As I read through this Psalm, I’m so challenged about the many, many ways that I fail to stop and pay attention to all the good things that God has done its easy to get swept up in the mundane, or the grind, or the struggle, and lose sight of the magnificent, and the significant, and the shiny things that God has done. The psalmist encourages us to notice the amazing attention that Creator God puts into his handiwork rust-proof, ageless, perfection. *Do:* I want to challenge you to deliberately make space to name the good things that God has done. Draw a big tree trunk on a piece of paper and blu-tak it to a wall in an obvious place in your living space try to make space every day to add to the tree as you reflect on the good things that God has done in your life: be as creative as you like draw birds on the branches and note that they represent a specific thing or event, add clusters of leaves, or fruit, or flowers or a monitor lizard (some times God’s good things can look terrifying!) you might include the sun or clouds, or other big things for some bigger things that you’re thankful for. *Respond:* I’d love to hear your reflections after doing this for the week how did it feel to have a visual representation of your praise of God’s good things. Did you find anything changed or shifted for you? How might this reflection be adapted to be useful in an intergenerational space, to open an opportunity for your whole gathering to reflect on the goodness of God? How could you make it work be accessible and safe for your whole gathering?

11.01.2022 In this last week of our #SeekingShalom series, we ask you all to contemplate the meaning of the word "Freedom". What does it mean in our context? In your neigh...bour's context? What oppressive burdens are put on people and the land today that has held them captive? And more importantly, as we seek God and we seek justice, how can we take action in lifting these burdens from our neighbours? See more

03.01.2022 Today is #ANewDay #January26. Yesterday we were #TuningInTogether to #ChangeTheHeart of Australia. As Common Grace we are led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait ...Islander Christian Leaders to pursue friendship and Reconciliation in our lifetime. This means stepping into #ANewDay with shared truth and open eyes, ears, minds, and hearts. We are excited to launch a collaboration of poetry and song created by Brooke Prentis and Helen Wright called "A New Day". It's a great way to start your #January26. "A New Day" was created as Brooke and Helen spent time together on country and reflects a journey of deep listening, learning, spiritual connection, hope, and of course friendship. It paints a vision of a future, for all of us in these lands we now call Australia, where we learn to draw on the olds ways, to learn a new way, to step into a new day, together. With thanks to Chris De Souza for producing this track and Biz Adams for creating this film clip. Looking for what else to do today? Check out our 10 ways to engage with #January26: https://www.commongrace.org.au/how_to_engage_in_jan_26
