God of hope, who brought love into this world,
be the love that dwells between us.
God of hope, who brought peace into this world,
be the peace that dwells between us.
God of hope, who brought joy into this world,
be the joy that dwells between us.
God of hope, the rock we stand upon,
be the centre, the focus of our lives
always, and particularly this Advent time.
The garden has been setup in memory of Isabella Blampied but also as a place of easy access for less formal and incidental prayer.
We are very grateful to Ryan Pilon and his workers for taking on this project, to Linda Thomas, Grant Pettit and Justin Pettit for work in the garden and to Anderson's Concrete for donation of materials.
Everyone is most welcome at this special occasion.
Happy Birthday to Chelsea Thomas
who celebrates her birthday next week.
We hope you enjoy your special day.
