In quietness and in darkness
In peace and in confusion
Jesus Christ wants to make his home with us
And meet his friends
He is the Light of Life
He is the hope for the world
Song “Once Mary would go wandering”
Affirmation
Tell everyone who is anxious
Be strong and don’t be afraid
Jesus is the source of Life
He brings light to the world
The light shines in darkness
And the darkness can never put it out.
The Lords Prayer in our own language
Reading Exodus 13v14
In days to come when your child asks you "What does this mean? Say to them 'With a might hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery".

Intercessions
We pray for all our loved ones to get the care they need and the healing. We pray there will be someone they can turn to at this time to help them. We pray for all who are anxious. Give them your peace and calm in their hearts. Have your hand upon us, our homes and our loved ones. Be with us all we pray this night and every night. In Jesus Name Amen.

Blessing
The cross we shall take it
The joy we shall share it
The gospel we shall live it
The love we shall give it
The light we shall cherish it
The darkness God shall perish it. Amen
