The unveiling of the signed Jubilee 2000 Covenant in the Church of Our Lady,
Blessington.
Blessington
2000
In
ancient times - God made a Covenant with his people Israel. This Covenant
was renewed in Jesus Christ our Lord, in his life, work, death and resurrection.
As believers in Him, we the Christian people of Blessington, at Pentecost
2000AD celebrate our common calling by God's grace, to do everything possible
to live and work together so that we may become the kind of community
to which God calls us and for which Christ prayed.
In
the power of God's Spirit, we pray for the grace to
Put aside the legacy of all bigotry that has divided us.
In the power of God's Spirit, we rejoice as we recognise
His presence at work among us today.
In the power of God's Spirit, we pledge ourselves to be
Open to new ways of living, working and worshipping
Together.
This Millennium Year, we join ourselves in a perpetual Covenant with the grace of God's Spirit and Blessing.
