Prayers December 18/19th 2020,



From light comes life.

Deep in the earth, a seed begins to grow.

In our imagination, an idea takes root.

In a moment, love grows.

Safe in the womb, a baby turns.

 

Song “When love came down”

A candle is lit.

 

We light a candle for light, sending

prayers high into the inky heavens and

dreams deep into our human soul.

 

We light a candle for light. May it light our way.

 

The Lords Prayer in our own language

 

Reading Isaiah 25

 

Therefore strong peoples will honour you;
    cities of ruthless nations will revere you.
You have been a refuge for the poor,
    a refuge for the needy in their distress,
a shelter from the storm
    and a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless
    is like a storm driving against a wall
    and like the heat of the desert.

 

 

Our prayers

 

We pray this Advent time, a time of waiting, for those we carry on our hearts… 

for peace throughout the world, a Covid world, where little children cannot sleep because of the sound of bombs falling, where people are imprisoned for protesting about the abuse of human rights, where temperatures soar because of climate change and forests burn, for the vulnerable in this Covid time and those sick and dying, for the homeless in their own country and those far from home, for asylum seekers and refugees the world over, and finally for our children and grandchildren who we must give a better future. In Jesus name we pray, Amen

 

Come Holy God

Give us your peace 

Send your Spirit

To heal and help us

So we can build a world

Of love and justice

And care for your earth. Amen
