We humbly thank you for this day
Help us not to waste it
But offer our praise to you
Open our hearts and minds
And give us your presence
To transform our lives and those around us today
Song “Bless the Lord Oh my soul”
We say the Lords Prayer in our own language
Psalm 57
1-3 Be good to me, God—and now!
I’ve run to you for dear life.
I’m hiding out under your wings
until the hurricane blows over.
I call out to High God,
the God who holds me together.
Orders are sent from heaven and save me,
those who kick me around are humiliated.
God delivers generous love,
he makes good on his word.
We pray for Israelis and Palestinians, for Ukrainians and Russians, For Syria, for Ethiopia, for Kosova and Serbia and all places where there is war. We pray for peace makers and humanitarian corridors, for the children and the terrified and for people of good will to work together to change the world. …Spirit of the Living God present with us now enter our bodies, minds and spirits and heal us of all that harms us. Let your angels be beside us at this time. Amen
Song “Lead kindly light”
This is the day that God has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
I will not offer to God
Offerings that cost me nothing
I will go in Peace
To love and serve the Lord
Amen
