23.01.2022 Mark 12.28-34 One of the scribes came near and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, he asked him, ‘Which commandment is... the first of all?’ Jesus answered, ‘The first is, Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this, You shall love your neighbour as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.’ Then the scribe said to him, ‘You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that he is one, and besides him there is no other; and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbour as oneself,this is much more important than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices.’ When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, ‘You are not far from the kingdom of God.’ After that no one dared to ask him any question.

23.01.2022 The Christian teachings of faith, hope, and love could not be more appropriate as we all try to navigate our way through these uncertain times. Thank you Prin...ce William for this powerful message, and for joining The Church of England's Mental Health Awareness Week service online yesterday. See more

22.01.2022 During the Lockdown, volunteers from Mission to Seafarers continued to make Care packages for the crews of ships entering the Port of Brisbane. These crews get no shore leave so the parcels are gratefully received. Last week, dozens of beanies and scarves plus care package items were donated to the Mission from St Matthias's congregation. Many thanks to those who knitted through Winter. Over the next few weeks we will be collecting for Christmas care packages. Some suggested ...items include : beanies, baseball caps, small Christmas decorations, soft koala/kangaroo, keyrings, 2021 pocket diary, choc bars, lollies, sml pkt biscuits, toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, deodorant, razors, combs, shaving cream, shampoo/conditioner [100ml size]. It would be appreciated if some Christmas cards with a personal message to a Seafarer and his family could be included. These provide a terrific personal touch and ensures the recipient knows that the bag is given in the Christmas Spirit of Love. Please Bring them to church on Sunday 8am SUNDAY 22ND NOV IS THE LAST COLLECTION DAY for 2020.

19.01.2022 Thought for the Week from Mothers Union Australia by Dr Lesley MacLean Prayer and Spirituality Coordinator Sunday 20th September 2020 Peace and safety Australia...ns have communal memory of Cyclone Tracy in 1974. We ‘remember’ the bushfires of 1983 which coincided with the Church’s liturgical Ash Wednesday. The darkness of night bring fear and danger to many whether they live in well-lit streets or drive on deserted outback roads. Peace and safety can never be guaranteed. Not only are the vagaries of weather and animals to be considered but also the terror created by human wickedness. ‘O God, the maker of peace and lover of concord’, give us peace in our hearts and gratitude when we dwell in safety. I will both lie down and sleep in peace; for you alone, O Lord, make me lie down in safety. Psalm 4:8 Communities in Madagascar live with the havoc of cyclones, flooding every year and now more frequent droughts. MU and diocesan leaders are addressing environmental preservation with a special grass which preserves the soil in the rainy season. Trees are then planted which will fertilise the soil, store water and form windbreaks during cyclones. Peace and safety come together with prayer, teaching in resilience.

18.01.2022 May the mercy of God be like an umbrella of hope in the rains of uncertainty. May you know the shielding of God amidst the storms of despair. May you know the safety and assurance that comes from the whispered words of God: 'I am still here' #niteblessing

17.01.2022 Thought for the Week from Mothers Union Australia Sunday 30th August 2020 New chapters In the Australian Spring our thoughts begin to stir after the slowing and... cosiness of winter. The young members of the family are finishing school, going into apprenticeships or university, starting a new chapter in their lives. The older members of the family remember their own experiences but look forward to what life will hold for them now. Each new chapter of life brings its blessings and its trials. When we learn from them, when our Christian faith witnesses to our love and kindness, those around us, the children and the children’s children can glimpse a WAY of LIFE with which to face each new chapters of theirs. The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time on and forevermore. Psalm 121: 7-8 In Zone C, a participant in MULOA was unsure of her ability to ‘facilitate a workshop’. When she returned to her parish in PNG, she supervised her local group to host a dinner. They wore their MU uniforms, were asked what MU was all about and suddenly ‘Linda’ moved into a new chapter in her life. She learned that she could speak out in the community. Now she has the confidence to run workshops. Alleluia!

10.01.2022 Thought for the Week from Mothers Union Australia by Rev Dr Lesley McLean ( Prayer and Spirituality ) Sunday 6th September 2020 Learning and sharing At a churc...h barbeque (with yummy food) a child, not accustomed to being there, asked whether they have to pay. ‘It is a gift for you’ was the reply. At an after-school Kid’s Club an eager boy reached out for yet another (ordinary, boring) biscuit. A leader slapped his hand and snapped that he’d had enough (in the days before safe practices). With every look and act we are (good or bad) witnesses to God’s generous love. If we get the opportunity to expound that theologically, so much the better. But all of us are witnesses and we all teach what God means to us, whether generous or punishing. You then, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus; 2 and what you have heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will be able to teach others as well. 2 Timothy 2: 1-2 In Uganda grass-thatched houses present multiple problems - destruction by fire, loss of possessions, limited opportunity for trade. Mothers’ Union members of a village grouped together and in fellowship pooled money and rotated it to benefit one family at a time. Three iron-roofed houses have been built, gardening shared with fellowship has boosted skills and food yield. Thanks be to God.

09.01.2022 Thought for the Week from Mothers Union Australia by Dr Lesley McLean Sunday 27th September 2020 Respect for the elderly Intergenerational living is healthy for... everyone. The granddaughter who brings her toddler to visit demonstrates her respect for the elders just by her presence and so engender that respect in her children. The grandfather who shares his love of cars and even allows the young ones drive his treasure teaches generosity and trust and also earns respect and love. Let us who are elderly respect and accept ourselves: may we pray for tolerance with our bodies and be grateful for the pauses, give thanks for long life and the hindsight it gives and grow in love and nearness to God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. even to your old age I am he, even when you turn grey I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save. Isaiah 46:4 Mothers’ Union in the UK and Europe is demonstrating its respect for members young and old. It is encouraging members to see a wider role than just organising a branch meeting with a speaker. This involves personal growth and faith-based growth. We are never too old to grow in faith and hope and love as with joyful trust we move towards our Father's home above. Hymn by James McAuley

08.01.2022 Thought for the Week from Mothers Union Australia Sunday 5th July 2020 Hope and confidence There is an illusion that confidence is akin to certainty. Surely wit...h God nothing is certain as he waits on his people to be faithful. The FID in the centre of conFIDence is FAITH. HOPE seems to be what grounds us, settles us ‘A sure and steadfast anchor for the soul’. There are no answers to what will happen next BUT faithfulness keeps the light on at the end of the tunnel and hope helps put one foot after another. through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible that God would prove false, we who have taken refuge might be strongly encouraged to seize the hope set before us. We have this hope, a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters the inner shrine behind the curtain Hebrews 6: 18-19 The members in Zone A have decided that one area to centre their work on is Education for Children. There are practical outcomes to anticipate: better access to jobs, for example, but HOPE gives the glimpse of a better future and ConFIDence/faithfulness sustains the courage needed.

05.01.2022 I don’t know who needs this, but if you woke up freaking out a little because it’s almost Christmas (like...what? How is that even possible? It was just August ...two days ago), remember that the first Christmas was pretty simple. It’s okay if yours is too. No tree. Five trees. No elf. Elf every single night. No lights. A yard full of ‘em. No decorations. So many decorations it looks like HomeGoods threw up in your living room. No parties. A calendar filled. None of that stuff matters, and none of it is worth stressing or obsessing over. Jesus. Jesus matters. Everything else is extra, and I can almost guarantee nobody will notice and nobody will care if it doesn’t get done. Christ is perfect. Your Christmas doesn’t have to be. Now deep breaths. It’s gonna be a great season as long as He is in it, and as long as you relax just a little.

04.01.2022 Thought for the Week from Mothers Union Australia Sunday 9th August 2020 Mothers’ Union family What a privilege it is to belong to a World-wide family whose mis...sion is to bring Love and Peace to men, women and children wherever they may be. The Mothers’ Union family is a microcosm of the unity between all of creation. At the halfway point in time from Christ on earth to now, St Francis spoke of Brother Sun, Sister Moon. The intensity of his spiritual awareness can be overwhelming. Let us summon some measure of that feeling of family for other MU members so we may truly regard them as our brothers and sisters. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. We must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing. 2 Thessalonians 1: 2-3 A community of other faiths joined the parenting program in Myanmar. Members were prepared to welcome other believers, opening their hearts and minds to welcome all of God’s children. Change came about when faith and love increased.
