To Ponder
Jesus said, wait with me. And maybe the stars did, . maybe the lake far away,
where once he walked as on a blue pavement, lay still and waited, wild awake.
Oh the dear bodies, slumped and eye-shut, that could not keep that vigil, how they
must have wept, so utterly human, knowing this too must be part of the story.
Mary Oliver, Gethsemane.
Today we acknowledge and pay respect to the people of the Yugambeh Language
Group, the traditional custodians of this land on which we gather.
Sentence
At the name of Jesus, every knee shall bend,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2.10–11
Collect
Everlasting God,
in your tender love for the human race
you sent your Son to take our nature,
and to suffer death upon the cross:
in your mercy enable us to share in his obedience to your will
and in the glorious victory of his resurrection;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

To Consider:
We, as Christians, have been called, not only to confess Jesus Christ as Lord,
but also to proclaim to the whole world that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Today’s worship makes us aware that it is not difficult to proclaim Jesus as Lord
when the crowd is on our side, but so much more difficult stepping out as
evangelists into a society that is indifferent. It is relatively easy to stand by a King
riding the crest of popularity, but the events of this week will challenge us
to follow our King on a journey that seemingly leads to rejection and humiliation .
Next Sunday: 5 April – Easter Day (white)

Tenebrae - Gathering Darkness
During Lent we use the Parish Special Order of Service. After the Introduction to Confession (a statement which
reflects the nature of God and our human state) each week we add the specific statement printed below
which relates to today’s readings. At the conclusion of the statement we snuff out one of the Tenebrae
candles. The last candle will be snuffed on Palm Sunday and the Paschal Candle on Good Friday
Lent 6 - Our Last Light
Today the last candle will be snuffed. Pause
We consider a world without light. Pause.
How much responsibility do we each need to accept for the darkness?
Being an active member of the family of God requires prayer, work and practice.
It’s easy to see the task as too big or too difficult and to give up trying.
Lent is a time to make choices, choices which call us to be obedient to Christ’s way
rather than to the way of quick solutions or easy answers. We think of the
pressures on our lives to choose recognition, power, comfort or ease.
We snuff the sixth candle today as we think of those times when the things we have
chosen have drawn us from God. 6th candle is snuffed.
Each time we give in to temptation
our darkness lessens the light of God in our world.
The call to confession continues.
PRAYER REQUESTS
Bertha, John, Sylvia & John, KenEd, Jamie, Mary, Wendy and Brian
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
So many reasons to say thank you:
For the many ways you showed your regard for Matthew and your support
for Bertha as we gathered to commit Matthew to God;
For being part of the St George’s working bee, keeping our buildings and
grounds as visible signs of our faith (& for morning tea);
For making Palm Crosses

OUR INVESTMENT in SPREADING GOD’S WORD
Today's gospel gives us a good chunk of The Story, which we call our story. How
much of The Story is familiar to you? A faithful steward has more than a passing
knowledge of it.
