Connect09 Cover In early November a young Church Leader from Sydney, came up to me and asked did I recognise him? Those questions are usually uncomfortable. He looked somewhat familiar and he mercifully identified himself as a member of the youth group I led in 1989. He was now training for full time mission work and he encouraged me by explaining how 1989 had been a real turning point in his life.

God is at work in our world, turning lives around and providing the only real future.

Our Archbishop has called upon us to join all the other Anglican Churches of the Diocese. He is challenging us to intentionally connect with our neighbours and communities. He is challenging us to be Christ’s representatives in whatever context God places us.

This challenge is focused towards 2009 but he invites us to start today!
The first step is to pray.

We have enclosed a prayer card for you to fill out and use over the next 2 years. As we pray and connect, we can expect our great God to work.
