Message

Prayer:  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, One God, in perfect community, look now on us who look to you.... and hear our prayer for our community. 

Where there is falseness...... Smother it by your truth;

Where there is any coldness..... Kindle the flame of your love;

Where there is joy and hope..... Free us to share it together;

Where there is anything we will not do for ourselves..... Make us discontent until it is done. 

And make us one.... As you are one. Amen. (a prayer from the Iona Community.)

Commissioning: You whom God has called, keep listening. 

You whom Christ has fed, live simply.

You whom the Spirit has filled, love completely,

And receive the blessing that awaits you. (by Eric Fairbrother of Aotearoa/ New Zealand
