Prayers 29th October 2024,
We are called to follow Jesus
To respect Gods creation
To love and serve others
And to seek justice and resist evil

Let us in silence remember our faults and failings, Christ have mercy on us, and deliver us from our sins and may we amend our lives. Amen.
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Acts 23
Paul looked straight at the Sanhedrin and said, “My brothers, I have fulfilled my duty to God in all good conscience to this day.” 2 At this the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth. 3 Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit there to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck!”
We pray for Lebanon, 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

We will learn from the past,
Cherish today
Welcome the future
And grow stronger every day. Amen.
