We had an inspiring prayer this morning that several people asked to hear again. It is based on an original prayer  “The Saint George-in-the-East Prayer”, from the church of that name at Wapping in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It was adapted slightly for our purpose by Brian Harris.

Christchurchpencil Loving Father,

we thank you for calling us to be the beacon of Christ’s light on the hill.

For the sake of our neighbours, our community and our world,

inspire us to shine with the light of your welcome,

your forgiveness,

your challenge

and your healing love;

in Jesus’ name:

Amen
