Evening Prayers November 30th 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 “Light of the world”

A candle is lit.

 

We light a candle for hope, sending

prayers high into the inky heavens and

dreams deep into our human soul.

 

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

 

The Lords Prayer in our own language

 

Reading Psalm 25

 

To You, Lord, I lift up my soul.
My God, in You I trust,
Do not let me be ashamed;
Do not let my enemies rejoice over me.
Indeed, none of those who wait for You will be ashamed;

Those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed.

 

Our prayers

 

We pray this Advent time, a time of waiting, 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

Send your Spirit

To make us brave 

And show us what to do

To build your world

Of love and justice

And to care for the earth

You entrusted to us. Amen
