We stand against hunger
Against injustice
And we hope for a better world
Where everyone is housed
And fed
A world of abundance
Bless us in that journey
Song “In Christ alone”
You entrusted the earth to us
And we have destroyed it
The forests are burning
Animals are dying
Our world is sick
Forgive us
Restore our vision and help us to act bravely to save this precious world
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Reading Romans 8v38
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We pray tonight for those in lockdown, for children and teaching staff, for doctors and health workers, for people who are isolated and exhausted, for wise decisions by government, for the people of Belarus, Syria, Yemen and Hong Kong, for the unrest in the US and the chaos in the UK and all those we know who need our help and prayers who we carry in our hearts tonight.
Spirit of the Living God present with us now heal our bodies, minds and spirits and help us to turn away from that which harms us. Let your angels be beside us at this time and protect us. In Jesus Name we pray.
Closing Responses
In the depth of silence
No words are needed
We are just called to listen
To the movement of the Spirit
And in the midst of confusion
To hear your voice.
Amen.

您把地球託付給了我們
我們已經摧毀了它
森林在燃燒
動物快死了
我們的世界病了
原諒我們
恢復我們的視野並幫助我們採取勇敢的行動來拯救這個寶貴的世界
我們用自己的語言說主禱文
閱讀羅馬書8v38
因為我堅信，死亡或生命，天使或魔鬼，[k]現在或未來，也沒有權力39，高度或深度，或所有造物中的任何其他事物，都無法使我們與世俗分離。在主耶穌基督裡的上帝之愛。
今晚，我們為禁閉者，兒童和教學人員，醫生和衛生工作者，為孤立和精疲力竭的人們祈禱，為政府明智的決策，為白俄羅斯，敘利亞，也門和香港人民，為動亂祈禱在美國和在英國的混亂中，以及我們認識的所有今晚需要我們幫助和祈禱的人。
與我們同在的永生上帝的靈現在可以治愈我們的身體，思想和精神，並幫助我們擺脫傷害我們的事物。此時，讓您的天使在我們身邊，保護我們。我們奉耶穌的名祈禱。
結束回應
在寂靜的深處
無需說話
我們只是被要求聽
為了聖靈的運動
在混亂中
聽到你的聲音。
阿們
