O God, fount of all wisdom, in the humble witness of the apostle Peter you have shown the foundation of our faith: give us the light of your Spirit, that, recognising in Jesus of Nazareth the Son of the living God, we may be living stones for the building up of your holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Fashion Parade: A big thank you to everyone who helped make the Fashion Show a wonderful event. The number of happy faces when it was time to leave Cooinda was our reward. Modelled clothes were eagerly sought after by the guests, whose purchases added a further donation of $200 from Portofino.
Dr Robin Ray: We also had the pleasure of having Dr Robin Ray (AMUA Australian President) address us at our two services on Sunday morning
