Together Sharing Christ’s Love
Welcome to:
Redeemer, Macalister
St Mark’s, Dalby
Liturgical Colour: Green
The Sundays after Pentecost (known as the "non-festival" season of the church year) are the Sundays in which we concentrate on the growth of the church.
They begin with Trinity Sunday, and ends with "Christ the King" Sunday, where we focus on the end times, and the second coming of our Lord Jesus.
The Gospel lessons for this season concentrate on the teaching and ministry of Jesus. The Old Testament and Epistle lessons have a semi-continuous narrative, with the Revised Common Lectionary (which we customarily use) giving two options for the Old Testament lessons, either the stories of the Patriarchs through Genesis and Exodus, or the Prophets.
The liturgical colour for the Sundays after Pentecost (which comprises roughly half of the church year) is green, as this symbolises new life and growth.

· for the church, that it does not lose faith in times of difficulty and hardship
· for the people of God, that they may be a worthy witness so that the devil has no room to work his deception
· for the government (local, state, and federal), that in times of difficulty those in positions of responsibility may look to God in Christ for guidance and direction
· for the people in the local community, that they may hear the gospel and turn to Christ
· for Christians in countries that persecute them for their faith, especially the children who are innocent and don't understand.
