Five deep changes urgently needed for a sustainable world and how to achieve them: UN report.
- This week = Realign with nature: From separation to harmony
“Society is at a crossroads,” says Prof. Shen Xiaomeng, Director of UNU-EHS. “For years, scientists have warned us about the damage we’re doing to our planet, and how to stop it. But we aren’t taking meaningful actions. We know climate change is worsening, yet fossil fuel consumption keeps hitting record highs. We already have a waste crisis, yet household waste is projected to double by 2050”.
Men’s Group Thursday 5th June visit to the Lutheran Church, Burwood Rd. We will carpool from St Martins at 5.45pm for a 6.30pm tea. Please RSVP to Rob C. All men very welcome.
Alpine Presbytery newsletter: if you wish to receive this, please email Gail (office@alpinepresbytery.org) to subscribe. We will no longer be forwarding it from the Parish Office. A paper copy is available to read each week in the church foyer.
Prayer to the Good Shepherd
Our heartfelt gratitude,
O Good Shepherd, we lay at your feet.
Day-break till twilight,
your goodness shields us;
even during stormy nights,
your mercy is our haven.
In our frivolities and solemn moments alike,
Jesus Christ, you remain our
benevolent guide.
Thank you for shepherding us,
for never leaving nor forsaking us.
We acknowledge your unsurpassable love;
may it continue piercing through
the darkest of valleys. Amen.
