Welcome to St. Bede’s – 200 Military Road Semaphore

Dear parishioners and visitors to St Bede’s,
After much reflection, research and prayer the churches of the Anglican Diocese of Adelaide will not gather for public worship until the current health crisis has passed.
While we will not be able to gather for public worship we can still engage in private prayer.  Furthermore we will coordinate the opportunity to pray at the same time, even though not in the same place.
We will need to be socially distance physically but can continue to be socially and spiritually connected through phone, internet and social media. 
Resources for Sunday will be posted each Saturday. Please contact us with particular prayer requests.
During these times may the Lord bless us and keep us and smile upon us.
Ruth.

God of love and hope,
You made the world and care for all creation.
But the world feels strange right now.
The news is full of stories about Coronavirus.
Many people are anxious because of it.
Many people are anxious that they might get ill.
Many people are anxious about their family and friends.
Be with them in their worries and help them to find some peace.
We pray for the doctors and nurses and scientists who are working to discover the right medicines to give hope to those who are ill.
Thank you that even in these strange and worrying times,
you are with us.
Help us to look for the signs of your goodness and love towards us. Amen.
