A Prayer for home



Lockdown by Richard Hendrick.

We pray

There is fear but there doesn't have to be hate
There is isolation but there doesn't have to be loneliness

There is panic buying but there doesn't have to be meanness
There is sickness but there doesn't have to be disease of the soul
There is death but there can always be a rebirth of love
Wake to choices you make, today breath, listen, the birds are singing, spring is coming. We are always encompassed by love. Sing.




Service Sheets

These short acts of worship have been produced for you if you are unable to attend church.  If you are well enough why not spend a few moments with God, knowing that other people are sharing this act of worship with you?
