ACS Directors Today attended the National Prayer Breakfast at Parliament House in Canberra. The prayer breakfast began with a reminder that, Praying Communities are Strong Communities. In the capital today we prayed for school teachers and students around the country. The Governor General spoke of Colossians 1:3-6 as a post script which he attached to the late Queen Elizabeth 11 in one of his last pieces of correspondence with the Queen.

3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people— 5 the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel 6 that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace. ~ Colossians 1:3-6
