Dear friends of ABM/AID....would you like to come to dinner? �
As we approach the 175th anniversary of the Anglican Board of Mission (ABM), we are delighted to invite you to join us for a celebration in Sydney on 29th October - ABM's founding date. Together, we will celebrate this remarkable milestone and give thanks to God for our shared journey of faith and service. �
This Anniversary is an opportunity not only for us to reflect and honour the past, but also to celebrate what God continues to do among us as we look to the future with hope. �
There will be other celebrations around the country but this is the BIG one and we'd love to have you there to celebrate the miracle of 175 years of ABM.
Book your tickets and plan for a wonderful night. Until then, let us pray: �
Loving God,
Friend of this ancient and beautiful land;
land we call home, land that calls us home.
Bless the Anglican Board of Mission
as we participate in your healing work.
We honour our history.
We repent of our failings.
We commit to your future.
May we nurture relationships of love.
May we craft stories of hope.
May we contribute to communities of justice.
Grant us the wisdom to hear your voice,
the courage to follow where you lead,
the humility to listen to those we encounter.
May we be blessed by those we Partner with,
and be a blessing to them.
We ask these things in the names of
the three that are one.
Creator, Redeemer, Companion.
Amen.
