A Light on the Hill

Call to Prayer

An invitation to all who call Brougham Place Uniting Church their spiritual home.

We invite you to join us in a Season of Prayer.

Following the decisions we made at our recent AGM (see below), we find ourselves in a liminal (in-between) time as we discern together the future that God is leading us to. May we look to our God for clear discernment and may we hold:

  • our Church Council in prayer as they do the work we have asked them to do. We pray for them as they form a new subcommittee and appoint a consultant.
  • our Presbytery (Wimala) in prayer as they support us and journey alongside us.
  • all of our ministry areas and leaders in prayer as we continue serving our God through this congregation in worship, witness and service.
  • each other in prayer as we each respond differently to being in a liminal (in-between) and uncertain time.

Isaiah 43:18-19

Do not remember the former things
or consider the things of old.
I am about to do a new thing;
now it springs forth; do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
Don’t revel only in the past,
or spend all your time recounting the victories of days gone by.
Watch closely: I am preparing something new; it’s happening now, even as I speak,
and you’re about to see it. I am preparing a way through the desert;
Waters will flow where there had been none.

As we look toward Easter, may we remember with hope, that our God is a God of Resurrection Life.

We are in Good Hands.
