"Our eyes look to the Lord our God till He shows us His mercy" Ps 123:2
‘JESUS HAVE MERCY’
Across all our services on Sunday 22 August, Australia's Churches are invited to pray for our local, national and global communities experiencing great need and distress caused by COVID-19. We encourage our member Churches to join in this National Prayer Day.
There is great power in unified prayer and this time we pray together ‘JESUS HAVE MERCY’, a prayer of compassion, the prayer of the heart.
