This Month at St. Bede’s

 

Welcome to May at St. Bede’s

As we give thanks for the Easter joy of the Resurrection, we also have a lot happening at St. Bede’s this month.

Our Art and Craft morning will be held at 10.30 am on 5th May.  The focus for this will be on making cards.  Everyone is welcome.  Lunch will follow this gathering.

May is History Month in South Australia.  We will offer guided tours of the Church from 11.00 am to 3.00 pm on Sunday 15th May.

Sunday 22nd May is St Bede’s Day.  Bishop Denise Ferguson will be joining us for both the 8.00 am and 9.30 am services.

On Sunday 29th May, at 2.00 pm, please join us for an afternoon tea for Reconciliation Week.  Our guest will be

Prayers During This Pandemic

Church leaders, including our Archbishop, ask us to pause for prayer at 8 am every Friday.
We are asked to pray for:
* An end to the pandemic
* Healing for people suffering from the illness
* Those researching a vaccine
* Our political and community leaders as they try to provide wise
leadership
* Our health workers, as they are at the front line.

Almighty and All–loving God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
We pray to you through Christ the Healer for those who suffer from the Coronavirus Covid–19
in and across the world.
We pray too for all who reach out to those who mourn the loss of each and every person who has died as a result of contracting the disease.
Give wisdom to policymakers, skill to healthcare professionals and researchers, comfort to everyone in distress and a sense of calm to us all in these days of uncertainty and distress.
This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord,
who showed compassion to the outcast, acceptance to the rejected and love to those to whom no love was shown. Amen. 
 
Archbishop Michael Jackson (Dublin & Glendalough)
