It feels like every other day except that there were no parking spaces to be had, I pulled up at Church to set up for the watch night service tonight and found the Car Park full...overflow from the supermarkets!!!!
At first I thought I'd be interupting a meeting or a party or even a funeral...but no only Iris doing the vacuming and so I traipsed in and out over her newly cleaned carpet bring in stuff for the prayer stations...bless her she was so gracious towards me.
So everything is set up for this evening, I hope it will be meaningful for everyone who comes no matter how few...
Here are some of the prayers we will be using
Flowing forth from the flame of life in God
Who goes on creating in us, down through the ages of ages…
We believe in healing beyond our knowing
From Christ
Who stands close to the reach of our hand
And the pain of our struggle
Beyond the end of time
We believe in the energy of Gods Spirit
Stirring in our being
With a rhythm of courage and passion
Moving our feet to risk Christ’s way again
As those who are always called to be the humble witness
To the faithfulness of God
Lord in this New Year
Into our emptiness
Breathe your fullness
If we are discouraged
Bring us your hope
If we are afraid
Bring us your courage
If we do not know the way
Give to us your wisdom
For we are your people and you are our God
