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.

Update - Anti Discrimination Bill
News reports state that the State Govt. has pulled back on the proposed Anti Discrimination Act bill. However a new bill, Respect at Work and other Matters, has been tabled. It has some quite concerning ramifications for freedom of speech and freedom of religion that the Joint Faiths Working Group is following up. There will be a campaign to mobilise church members to write to their MPs, and also probably an open letter to the Premier from faith leaders.
