The Rhythm of Ordinary Life

Gracious God,
make each of us an instrument of your grace.
Weave us into a community
showing forth your power and tenderness.
Bless us and our differences, to courageously stand together
when times prove difficult.

We call on you today to gather us in your love.
Lead us to better know you
and glorify you on each step of the journey of our lives.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,
may we be peace and a sign of God's love.
Amen.

• How is faith a difficult journey for you?
• Do we have patience to wait for God's process?
• How can we support each other in growing and developing our faith in God?

May the word of Christ guide you.
May the light of his Spirit bless the work you do
with the love and warmth of your heart.
May people see in you the beauty of your soul
reflecting the image of Christ.
May your work never weary you.
May the Holy Spirit within overflow with the wellsprings
of refreshment, inspiration and excitement
that all may know how good and gracious
is our Father in heaven.

In the name of the Father,
the Son and of the Holy Spirit, we pray. Amen.

Go in peace and live the church. See you throughout the week.
