As Sydney’s oldest church, St James’ is a place of soul-stirring worship, challenging preaching and fine music. We are a progressive community that welcomes all people regardless of age, race, sexual orientation, or religion. We also acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we worship—the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.
10am Pew Sheet FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
REFLECTION
As Jesus’ followers moved out into the world and welcomed new people into the community of faith, the Christian church grew. Through the corporate mystery of Baptism, through love of others, and through the activity of God’s Spirit in the world, we discover the interconnectedness that we have with each other and the inclusiveness that lies at the heart of our faith in God.
Nurturing God, Jesus Christ is the vine and we are the branches; help us to abide in your grace and truth so that we may bear much fruit, and welcome all people into your transforming community of love. Amen.

PRAYER OF SPIRITUAL RECEPTION
I believe that you are truly present in the Holy Sacrament, and, since I cannot at this time receive communion, I pray you to come into my heart. I unite myself with you and embrace you with all my heart, my soul, and my mind. Let nothing separate me from you; let me serve you in this life until, by your grace, I come to your glorious kingdom and unending peace. Amen.
