PRAYER (unison)
Compassionate
God, be present with each of us as we worship today; as we interact with your
creation today,
as
we are neighbours today. Hold us in
your love.
Steady
us and remind us that you are above all and
through
all and in all, that when we are rooted in your love,
we
can be channels of peace, and hope and healing.
We
pray in the name of Jesus, who came to reconcile and make us new. Amen.

This is God’s wondrous world;

of rocks and trees, of skies
and seas,
God’s hand the wonders
wrought.
