God of mercy and peace,
we come to you with hearts that are tired and grieving.
We entrust to you the lives lost,
the wounded,
and all who are holding sorrow this day.
Surround the Jewish community and all who have been affected
with comfort, safety, and hope.
Strengthen those who serve and protect,
and grant wisdom and gentleness to all who lead and respond.
In a world shaken by violence,
teach us again the way of Christ --
the way of love, courage, and peace.
Hold us, heal us, and lead us forward.
Amen.

Would being part of this life of faith interest you?
We are followers of Jesus Christ.
With God's help, we share Jesus' good news of life for all people,
learn together how to be followers of Jesus in an open and affirming congregation,
celebrate and try to live out God's call to care for, and seek justice for,
all people and God's creation,
discerning the gifts of the Holy Spirit amongst us as we each serve in ministry and mission,
and supporting each other and this city as we travel along the way.
Come and see, and, we hope, experience this grace of God.
This event below has been cancelled out of respect for those in grief and recovering from the Bondi devastation.
At St Stephen's Uniting Church we are engaged to confess the
faith of Christ crucified and to be Christ's faithful servants.
We are engaged in a big wonderful life.
