I am heading up to Brisbane tomorrow for the weekend, particularly for the ordination of K & G to the diaconate at St John's Anglican Cathedral tomorrow. Please join me in prayer for them, and for all who are to be ordained, with the words of the prayer on the Cathedral website:
Lord Jesus Christ, though you are rich, for our sake you became poor. Taking the form of a servant, you humbled yourself, and gave your life a ransom for many. Send your blessing on those called to be deacons, that they may have grace and power to serve your ambassadors, to stand beside the poor and raise up the needy, and so proclaim your gospel of salvation in word and deed. May they be patient and loving, strong and steadfast, running to the end of the race set before them, to receive your promised crown of glory. Amen.
I will also be staying with a friend Saturday night and Sunday, before I head home.
I am looking forward to a weekend away. See you all Monday [the morning of which I will be watching my niece's first swimming lesson].
