The God of Peace calls us
To bear the fruits of the Spirit
To respond to the call of Christ
By announcing the good news, the gospel of peace
Song “Lord from sorrows deep I call”

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 21
12 When we heard this, we and the people there pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” 14 When he would not be dissuaded, we gave up and said, “The Lord’s will be done.”
We pray for Spain, Brazil, Nepal, Iran, for US to stop bombing Iran, for Gaza, Lebanon, for Israel to stop killing Palestinians and Lebanese, for Ukraine, for Russia to stop bombing Ukraine, for Sudan, Afghanistan, Congo, Venezuela, Cuba; for work to halt climate change, for refugees and 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
The Peace of God
Be upon everything our eyes see
Be upon all we hear
Be on our bodies that come from the earth
Be on our souls that come from heaven
For ever and ever. Amen
