A Prayer for our Church and Parish:
Let us pray for those of our parish who are poor, or anxious, or unwell. Let us pray for God’s blessing on our Youth Club, our nearby uniformed groups, those who live and work in Prospect Place and the other new building developments, and on the King William Nursery and Burnt Oak School. Let us remember, too, the Sunlight Centre, the Medway Food Bank, the Gillingham Street Angels, and others who work amongst the many disadvantaged people in this area.
Heavenly Father, you have called us to be the bearers of Good News, following the example of St Luke the Evangelist, our Patron.
Send your light and truth to lead us; open our minds to worship you in spirit and in truth; open our eyes to the opportunities you give us in the people we meet each day, or who come through the doors of our church.
Open our ears to hear your call; open our hearts to your love, that we may serve you and bring others to your light.
God of hope, in this moment, and in the days ahead as we look to the future, however dark and uncertain it may seem, fill us with all joy and peace, as we trust in you, that we may overflow with hope, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
