Sunday Liturgy
Mass is held
each Sunday at 9 am at
Grace Church on Grand Promenade near the
corner of Shenton Avenue - in the heart
of Joondalup City, in the heart of God.
Enter down the side of
the building down the path under the
flame trees.
All guests who present
themselves are to be welcomed as Christ.
The Liturgy
The Liturgy for
Sundays after Pentecost
and all the Sundays in
Ordinary Time is found
in the green covered
booklets. Issued by the
national Liturgical
Commission of the
Anglican Church of
Australia, this
experimental eucharistic
rite is used with the
Archbishop of Perth’s
permission.
Liturgical Green
Sundays after Pentecost
are the ‘ordinary’ (from
the Latin, meaning
‘counted’) Sundays after
the Christ cycle is
complete. Having
followed our Lord’s
pattern of life from
Advent through Christmas
and Epiphany to Lent,
Holy Week and Easter, we
count the time until
next Advent as time for
growing into these
mysteries – growing up
as daughters and sons of
the Father, growing out
of ourselves to find
ourselves in
relationships of love
and service of others.
Liturgical green
signifies this slow and
steady growth in
courageous faith and
life-giving hope. The
green sanctuary hangings
are softened a little
today and next Sunday by
use of white vestments
for the two festivals.
Holy Communion
This is the Lord’s
table; there are no
strangers here.
Around the altar of God
there is room for
everyone.
Distinctions of race,
age, religion, colour or
sexual orientation don’t
matter to Christ.
Please join us soon in
this circle of belonging
and blessing.
