God of the wildness, you claim us and embrace us in love: we are yours. When we face uncertainties and temptations that cause us to question your provision, doubt our belovedness, or exploit our faith for worldly gain, lead us back, again and again, to words of scripture, and to the living Word, Jesus Christ. May we hold fast in faith and serve you with our whole hearts, this day and always. Amen.

Transfiguring God, on the mountain you revealed your glory and named Jesus as your beloved Son. Lift our eyes to see him clearly, open our ears to hear his word, and strengthen us to follow him when the path leads back into the world; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

We pray

Gracious God, you call us, your people, to be salt of the earth and light for the world. By your Holy Spirit, open our hearts to hear your Word, that our faith may be shaped not by human wisdom but by the power of Christ crucified. Strengthen us to live lives of justice, mercy, and humble obedience, so that your light may shine through us to the glory of your holy name, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

We thank Bishop Andrew Brook for delivering the address this day and leading us in the installation of Principal Andrew Boesch.

 

We pray for the trust in God.

Thank you, God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for showing us your power in the weakness of the cross. Teach us to rely on you alone and to live by the power of the Holy Spirit. We ask this through your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen

We thank Mark Frost for leading us in worship this day.

 

Let us pray for Christ's light to shine on us.

Thank you, Jesus, for coming as the light for the world. Shine into our darkness, so that we see God's love, and follow in the way you show us. For you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

We thank Pastor David Christian for leading us in worship this day.

We thank Andy Traeger for leading us in worship this day.

We pray that we live as God's baptised children. Loving Father, you anointed Jesus at his baptism with the Holy Spirit and revealed him as your dear Son. Thank you for making us your children by water and the Spirit. Keep us faithful to you throughout our lives. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

We thank Pastor Tim Koch for leading us in worship this day.
