Lectionary Bible Readings

Acts 10:44-48
Psalm 98
1 John 5:1-6
John 15:9-17

Some thoughts on today's scripture: John-15-9-17

My love for others must not be conditioned by how they respond. Jesus loves me totally, whether I am good or bad or indifferent. My love must have that quality too. This is costly love – it could demand my very life!

This costly love will bear rich fruit, whether I see it or not. Jesus’ love bears fruit only after his death.
I must not be discouraged when my love seems to be wasted. True love never comes to an end (1 Cor 13:8). Loving actions are the building blocks of eternal life.

2021 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

All Christian churches in the ACT are invited to celebrate the 2021 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, Sunday 16 May - Saturday 22 May.

During this week all Christians are invited to pray together for the visible unity of the body of Christ, which Jesus himself prayed for in John 17:21: “That all of them may be one, Father…..so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”

We give thanks for all our mothers on Mothers’ Day!
