Hymn        Come Let Us Sing of a Wonderful Love #574VU

Prayer:   O God, tirelessly you seek out those who are looking for you and who think that you are far away; teach us, at every moment, to place our spirits in your hands. While we are still looking for you, already you have found us. However poor our prayer, you hear us far more than we can imagine or believe. Amen ( a prayer from the Taize community.)

Scripture Lessons:  II Corinthians 5:16-21

                                Psalm 32:1-9

                                Luke 15:1-3, 11-32

Meditation 

Prayer: By the prayers of Jesus, God, teach us how to pray. 

By the stories of Jesus, God, teach us how to listen and to hear. 

By the gifts of Jesus, God, teach us how to give. 

By the love of Jesus, God, teach us how to love. 

By the cross of Jesus, God, teach us how to live and to serve. ( adapted from a prayer published in Frank Colquhoun’s Contemporary Parish Prayers. )
