Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray and give more than either we desire or deserve.  Pour down upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which we are not worthy to ask save through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ your Son our Lord. Amen.

The Vicar Writes …

9 Feb 2025

“But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.”
(John 4:23)

Dear St Hilda’s Family,
Blessings to you and your loved ones as we have entered 2025 and a new lunar year. We already have lots to thank the Lord for in the past few weeks.

Our theme in 2025 is ‘Being ONE in Christ’ and the anchor verse comes from Ephesians 4:4-6 ‘There is one body and one Spirit … one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.’ We went through John 17 and realized how precious the unity among his disciples (past and present) is for our Lord Jesus.

One important aspect of unity is our common identity. We are (1) Christian, (2) Anglican, and (3) members of St Hilda’s Church. Over the next ~3 months, we will take a closer look at what it means to be Anglican.

Anglicans do not have a lexicon where we can check Anglican theology, unlike e.g. the Presbyterian Church that relies on Calvin’s ‘Institutes of the Christian Religion’. As Anglicans, “we pray what we believe, and we believe what we pray.” This explains the centrality of the liturgy in our worship. Our liturgies can be found in the Book of Common Prayer which – contrary to general perception – is not a book of old-fashioned prayers that the church should follow. Instead, it was Thomas Cranmer’s attempt to bring the Church back to God’s Word. Almost every sentence of our service prayers is deeply rooted in Scripture.

“Be Still and Know You are God”

5 Dec 2022
 
A Testimony from Ps Allison Chee
 
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
 
My journey with God ……
 
I want to give thanks and praise to God, my beloved family, the family of God at St Hilda’s and the wider body of Christ for praying for me, especially during these past few weeks. My diagnosis must have come as a shock to many of you and I think some may have asked “why?”, “what happened?” “how come?” But thanks be to God – I was so filled with the overflowing love of God during my stay in hospital because I knew that many of you at St Hilda’s were covering me in prayer. The song that God placed in heart was the chorus of “Still” – “when the oceans rise and thunders roar, I will soar with you above the storm, Father You are King over the flood, I will be still and know You are God”. I felt so assured that all I needed was to just be still and know that He is in control, and I will soar with Him above the storm. I felt very calm and carefree throughout my stay in hospital.
