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
Song “If you believe and I believe”
A candle is lit.
I 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.
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Psalm 68
Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden,
The God who is our salvation.
20 God is to us a God of salvation;
And to God the Lord belong ways of escape from death.
We pray for people and situations that are on my heart today...
For peace in Ukraine and Gaza. For release of Israeli and Palestinian hostages. For Russia, Syria, Afghanistan, Iran, Sudan.
For the over a million refugees worldwide,
For people who are homeless, hungry, persecuted
For those who fight for the earth and for justice for its people
May we not fail you though we face great dangers.
Give us your peace, wisdom and strength. Amen
Take us to Bethlehem
House of bread
Where the empty are filled
The poor find riches
And the rich recognise their poverty
Where all kneel, worship
And are fed.
Amen
