God of Spirit and fire
We remember those
Caught up in destruction and violence
God of passion and justice
We pray for all those working for justice in our communities
Bridging the gap
Between the powerful and the vulnerable

As I come before your throne
Bow down before you
May my prayers rise up to you
And your blessings rain down upon me
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Psalm 28
Blessed be the Lord,
Because He has heard the sound of my pleading.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart triumphs,
And with my song I shall thank Him.
8 The Lord is their strength,
And He is a refuge of salvation to His anointed.
9 Save Your people and bless Your inheritance;
Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever.
We pray for all those we know who need our help and prayers ….and the many others we carry in our hearts.
We pray for peace in Gaza, for Israeli hostages and their families, for peace in Ukraine, Russia, for Lebanon, Syria, Afghanistan, Iran, Yemen, for Hong Kong, China; for work to halt climate change, for the 100 million people who are refugees or asylum seekers, for the homeless, the hungry, the distressed.
Spirit of the Living God be beside us at this time. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen
Song “At the Cross” https://youtu.be/xspg7SNxTWA?feature=shared
Put fire in my heart
Send me your Spirit
Renew my hopes and dreams
Remind me that a new way is always possible
In life, in death and beyond death. Amen.
