Together Sharing Christ’s Love
Welcome to:
Redeemer, Macalister
St Mark’s, Dalby
Liturgical Colour: Green
The Sundays after Pentecost (known as the "non-festival" season of the church year) are the Sundays in which we concentrate on the growth of the church.
They begin with Trinity Sunday, and ends with "Christ the King" Sunday, where we focus on the end times, and the second coming of our Lord Jesus.
The Gospel lessons for this season concentrate on the teaching and ministry of Jesus. The Old Testament and Epistle lessons have a semi-continuous narrative, with the Revised Common Lectionary (which we customarily use) giving two options for the Old Testament lessons, either the stories of the Patriarchs through Genesis and Exodus, or the Prophets.
The liturgical colour for the Sundays after Pentecost (which comprises roughly half of the church year) is green, as this symbolises new life and growth.

Anti Discrimination Bill

ALWS Refugee Settlement Initiative:
We are currently on the scope for community groups that might be interested in walking this journey with us. Your congregation has been identified to us by the LCAQD as a church that might be open to welcoming a refugee as part of your church mission/reach initiatives. This refugee resettlement program would entail a small community group (of 5-10 key, time-rich people) being responsible for the refugee/refugee family feeling at home in your area. If you are interested, please let a Member of the TEAM Committee know or St Mark’s Office.
Happy Birthday this week to:
Paul Schreiber (Sun); Jacinta Hensel (Sun); Wayne Horrigan (Tue); Doug von Pein (Wed); August Hensel (Thu); Elijah Kavney (Thu);

If we missed your birthday or baptism anniversary, please contact St Mark's Church Office
