The world belongs to God
The earth and all its peoples
How good and lovely it is
To join hands in unity
Love and faith come together
Justice and Peace join hands
If the Lords disciples keep silent
These very stones would shout aloud
God open our lips
And our mouths shall show forth your praise
Song “Blessed be your name”

Prayer for Gods help
Make me a clean heart
And renew a right Spirit within me
Give us again our joy
The Lord’s Prayer in your own language
Reading Genesis 6 v13 Noah
“Then God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.”
But he didn’t!

Prayer
O Christ the master carpenter who through wood and nails purchased our salvation, wield well your tools in the workshop of your world so that we who come rough hewn to your bench may be fashioned to a truer beauty of your hand. In Jesus name we pray. Amen
Closing Responses
This is the day that God has made
We will rejoice and be glad in it
We will not offer to God offerings that count as nothing
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord
We will seek peace and pursue it.
Amen
