Dear all, Even with the easing of restrictions from the NSW government which has taken effect, it is not possible for us to meet together as church. Bishop Mark recognises how hard this is, and urges us to keep trusting God our Saviour. Please view the video below for more details.
Please find attached a statement from Bishop Mark regarding the 150th anniversary of our diocese. Mark said “I trust this helps many people mark this significant anniversary in an appropriate way, as we both own the past and yet look to the future with prayer that God will transform us and use us for his glory.” from_the_bishop_20200507.pdf
