Loving God you call us to hospitality
To live generously
Kindle in us a commitment to kindness
To justice
And genuine compassion

1 Thessalonians 3v9-13
9 How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you? 10 Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you again and supply what is lacking in your faith.11 Now may our God himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you. 12 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. 13 May God strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all the holy ones.
God forgive us,
Christ bless us.
God’s Spirit help us to grow in love. Amen
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
We pray for the ceasefire in Lebanon, for Gaza, Iran and Israel, Ukraine and Russia, Yemen, Sudan, Afghanistan, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong and all countries in a war zone, for refugees, for the homeless, for the hungry, for justice, for those fighting climate change; for our counties, for our families and friends and ourselves. Send your angels to stand with us at this time we pray. Amen
The blessing of God be upon you
On those you love and those you meet
This day and for evermore. Amen
