We call on the power of God
To meet us in our helplessness
God in our thinking
God in our speaking
Song “Spirit of the Living God” https://youtu.be/LmetoV_CyHY?feature=shared
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Wisdom 7
1. I too am a mortal, the same as all the rest, and a descendant of the first one formed of earth. And in my mother’s womb I was moulded into flesh
We pray for peace in Gaza, for Israeli hostages, 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. We pray for all who are anxious. Give them your peace and calm in their hearts. Have your hand upon us, our homes and our loved ones. Be with us all we pray this day and every day. Amen.
Song “Breathe on me breath of God” https://youtu.be/M5keJHZdWYM?feature=shared
The cross we shall take it
The joy we shall share it
The gospel we shall live it
The love we shall give it
The light we shall cherish it
The evil God shall perish it. Amen
