HAVE YOURSELF A MINDFUL LITTLE CHRISTMAS
12 Days of Christmas Prayer
With everything we have to do and remember, it is easy for Christmas to lose its meaning. We easily get caught up in the events and arrangements and forget to make time for prayer and spiritual practice. And when we get to the end, we can end up feeling empty and even a little lost. This can mean that we enter the New Year not from a place of serenity and spiritual alertness, but rather from a sense of needing to catch up and get our lives and spiritual practice back on track. That’s why we need a simple but meaningful guide to keep us spiritually aware through this season.

Week of 26 January – 01 February 2025
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK One of the marks of Jesus' life was his strong sense of purpose. Christian scholars debate how much Jesus, in his humanity, understood his divine nature, the high cost he would pay to accomplish his mission, or the resurrection that awaited him after his death. But they all agree that Jesus knew he had been called by God to fulfil an important purpose. The centre of Jesus' message was the proclamation that the Reign of God was near and accessible to all. This week in [...]

Epiphany 1 / The Baptism of the Lord C
12 January 2025 The first Sunday after Epiphany gives us a “God’s-eye-view” of Jesus. We get a sense of the person and calling of Jesus from a divine perspective, and the message is clear: in Christ, God partners with us, and invites us to partner with God. In addition, God gives us the power we need, through God's Spirit, to fulfill our calling to be co-workers with God. The possibilities that this theme presents for worship are very exciting. May our worship this week immerse us in the depths [...]

See Inside
How God’s Glory in Christ Reveals the Glory Within Us
The Advent and Christmas seasons are wonderful celebrations of God’s saving work in the incarnate Christ. But they can sometimes feel a little removed from our lives now. That’s why Epiphany is such a significant season. It continues the story of Jesus, moving from his birth to his adulthood and ministry. With a focus on Jesus’ seven ‘I am’ statements from John’s Gospel, See Inside offers a new perspective on how Jesus embodied and revealed God’s glory, grace, love, presence, and life.
Into the Unknown
A Spiritual Journey for the Epiphany and the Season After
Into the Unknown leads us on a journey to encounter God through seven different metaphors. Like different lenses, each chapter helps us to let go of our existing ideas of God and invites us to encounter God in a new and deeper way. This journey is based on the conviction that God is beyond our ability to know. Yet, paradoxically, we also discover that the Unknown God can be known. And that promises to lead us into a richer and more meaningful experience of God.
