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.

for those who are estranged and hostile towards Christ and his Church, that they may be reconciled to God
for God's Servants who have been commissioned to make God's Word known to the World
for Students in Christian Schools, Sunday Schools, Bible Study Programs, and Seminaries, that they may yearn to sit at Jesus' feet and learn from his Word
for those who are distracted by the worries of this life from the things of God
for protection against the harmful effects of the mass media and advertising
for Christian families, that they spend time together in prayer and devotion
for all Christians, that we may learn to sit at Jesus' feet
