All welcome.
West
Moreton Anglican College hold a weekly worship at the
College's Chapel of the Good Shepherd - every Sunday during term time at
9.30am except in Term 4.
It is affectionately known as Worship @ WestMAC and our hope is to offer to the local community (College families
and those not connected with the College) a place of worship where people might
encounter God through story and reflection, prayer and shared communion and
friendship. We also want to share the message that our community, while
close-knit and caring, has plenty of room for anyone who wants to join us.
Each
week before our Eucharistic prayer we pray:
At
this table we give thanks for justice, love, peace and freedom.
At this table we give thanks for friends
and strangers together in community in this safe place.
At this table we welcome old and young regardless of race or gender identity.
There is room at this table and all are invited.
In
the book of the prophet Micah, in the Jewish Scriptures, we are reminded that
what God wants for us is to, 'do justice, love kindness and to walk humbly with
our God' (Micah 6:8). It is our prayer that our worship community might be
a place that reflects that call.
Jesus
offers us a way to transform our lives through the grace and love of God, and
if you look at his life and ministry, you catch a vision of the world he called
the Kingdom of Heaven. People who acted with compassion and goodness
demonstrated the Kingdom of Heaven through their actions, and it didn’t seem to
matter to Jesus what their ‘religious credentials’ were. You only have to read
the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10: 25-37) and the Parable of the Two
Brothers (Matthew 21: 28-32) to get a sense of Jesus preference for those whose
actions showed a loving heart, regardless of who they were.
We
trust that Worship @ WestMAC will be a community of faith that is open and
inclusive and that we may be excited to embrace the adventure of life and faith
to which God calls us. It is our hope that our community is underpinned by a
theology of grace and that we seek to understand our place in the world through
scripture, tradition and reason.
The
Chapel of the Good Shepherd is at the centre of West Moreton Anglican College.
You can get to us by accessing the Chapel Gates on Keswick Road, Karrabin,
every Sunday during term time at 9.30am except in Term 4.
We are part of the Anglican Diocese of
Brisbane.
We look forward to meeting you at Worship@WestMAC!
