Being Christian, O God, is not just about ‘me and you’
Being Christian, O God, is not just about ‘me and you’,
not just about our conversations and our love.
Help us to see those we meet beyond these doors
in the way that you see them.
Help us to offer support from what we know of you.
Send us out from here to be a shining light for you,
a guiding light for those in confusion, aloneness and darkness.
Amen.

Dear God,
we go back to our communities;
the places where we live,
where we learn to listen to you
and to each other
and act on what we hear.
Be with us, Lord.
Amen.
