Prayers 27th June 2025
Our sisters and brothers bear a heavy load
Only many hands will move the rock
Come for Christ calls us
Only many hands will move the rock

Loving God move us to comfort those who are caught in war.
Those held captive
Those facing hatred and intolerance
For the over 100 million fleeing for their lives
For strangers in our lands
For those in refugee camps
For those on dangerous journeys for safety
For their families
Melt our hard hearts to create welcome and change
Amen
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Acts 8 36 As they travelled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized?” [37] [c] 38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. 39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. 40 Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.

Spirit of the Living God be beside us at this time. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen

And bless us on our way. Amen
