Good morning and welcome to our Sunday worship today. Spring has come! Let’s give thanks to God for God’s promise of new life.
An invitation to take a pause mid-week and invite the Spirit in.
Prayer, “the intentional lifting of the heart and mind to God Father Son and Holy Spirit”, is the most basic Christian activity – and it’s also the key spiritual practice that forms our character as people of faith. At 5.30pm Tuesdays for three weeks from Tuesday 8 September, we will be holding a contemplative evening prayer service as part of our regular worship life. The service will include an invitation to pause in silence for 10 minutes of silent meditation.
All are welcome.

To help reduce energy usage and save money around the home the Holy Cross and St Margaret’s Carbon Action Project team have produced an information package entitled ‘Energy Smart Actions.’ It includes:
- a list of tips for saving energy
- the link for using the on-line Australian Greenhouse Calculator (for those wanting a closer look at their cartoon footprint); and
- a Data Sheet to make a carbon action plan and record results.
Our hope is to support and inspire households in North Canberra to reduce our emissions and go carbon-neutral. Please use these resources and let us know how you go.
