While the ACT has lifted its previous Corona Virus restrictions such as mandatory masks, seating restrictions, etc, we are continuing to ask people not attend if they have symptoms; to clean their hands prior to entry; & to maintain safe distancing.

During Holy Communion the minister and assistants wear a mask or clear visor; and we use individual cups (disposable and recyclable).

We continue to have safe distancing markings on the floor, and ask people to remain that distance from others coming, during and returning from Communion.

A Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ, healer and friend,

come and care for all of us

through the danger and uncertainty

of the coronavirus epidemic.

To people who are sick, bring healing.

To people who are displaced, isolated,

or cut off from family, friends or work,

bring comfort and companionship.  

Work with medical staff as they care for the sick,

and protect them from harm.

Give skill and fruitful research to scientists

as they work on treatments and a vaccine.

To public health authorities, give wisdom

to decide the best ways to manage

both this crisis and our anxieties.

When communities are fearful,

give a calm spirit,

and kindness to neighbours and strangers.

Through this testing time,

and through all the risks we face together,

teach us once again how we can love one another

as you have loved us.     Amen.

Footprints in the Sand

One night I had a dream…

I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord, and
Across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; One belonged to me, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of my life flashed before us, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that many times along the path of my life, There was only one set of footprints.

I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life
This really bothered me, and I questioned the Lord about it.
“Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
You would walk with me all the way;
But I have noticed that during the
most troublesome times in my life,
There is only one set of footprints.
I don’t understand why in times when I
needed you the most, you should leave me.

The Lord replied, “My precious, precious
child. I love you, and I would never,
never leave you during your times of
trial and suffering.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you.
