Prayer

God in His Wisdom ordained families - Gen. 12.3.28. He promised Abraham that through him all the families of the earth would be blessed. Psalm 107 - 41. He placed the lonely in families.

We pray Heavenly Father that Your people who are called by Your Name will teach their children of Jesus. His love for them and His desire for their happiness, His plan for their life. Then we can enjoy the promise God made to Abraham. We thank you Father in Jesus' Name, Amen.

We take this opportunity of paying tribute to the late Fr. Leo Kelly, former parish priest of St. Clare's, Box Hill North. He was a great friend to Endeavour Forum and not only challenged us to do our best but made suggestions about how we could do better. To share an afternoon with him was an experience - his conversation covered religious issues, art, literature, education, and international affairs. Most of all we miss his kindness and willingness to listen. We are deeply saddened by his loss. May he rest in peace.
