Sentence for the Day
Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective. James 5:16
Collect
O God,
from whom light rises in darkness
for those who seek you:
grant us, in all our doubts and uncertainties, the grace to ask what you would have us do,
that in your light we may see light,
and in your narrow path
may not stumble;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
Season of Creation Collect
Lord you call us to be peacemakers; to be people abiding in peaceful habitation.
May our fruitful fields be seen as forests, and your spirit pour upon us so that the righteous may be at peace and the wilderness become a fruitful field.
May your Spirit be poured upon us so we can work together for peace with Creation.
Amen

Heavenly Father, who created our wonderful world, fill us with love for your creation. Help us to be sensitive to the Earth’s needs, to care for the preservation of the whole of the natural world. As stewards entrusted with responsibility for such a finite resource may we encourage others with the example of practical living where all creation is valued and sustained.
Our Father in heaven, help us to care for our world.
Heavenly Father, as we look to follow your teachings of love and tolerance, focus our hearts and minds not on material possessions but on the riches of life eternal in your presence. We pray for the Worldwide Anglican Communion and our guides, Archbishop Jeremy, Regional Bishop John and Reverend Helen. Bless our congregation as we daily seek to live our lives to your glory.
Our Father in heaven, help us to care for one another.
Heavenly Father, who looks not on our outward appearance but sees the motive of our hearts make us generous with our time and talents that we may indeed be rich in good deeds to all and always willing to share your love with others. Help us to forgive others as you have forgiven us.
Our Father in heaven, help us to keep our hearts fixed on you.
Heavenly Father, thank you that you love all of your creation. We know that you love each person and weep with those who suffer. Comfort all who are suffering through sickness, conflict of war and strife or as the result of natural disasters. Help us to comfort and share your love and sacrifice with all.
Our Father in heaven, help us to be a blessing for you.
Heavenly Father, we thank you for your servants who have gone before us to dwell in your house forever. We especially remember those whose years mind occurs at this time. We bring before you those close to us who we name aloud or in the silence of our hearts.
Our Father in heaven, help us to keep our faith strong.
Almighty God, you have promised to hear our prayers. Grant that what we have asked in faith we may by your grace receive, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Pew Reflection:
We may well be feeling ‘powerless’ about our nation's corporate and political responses to poverty and environmental destruction, but Jeremiah tells us there is always hope. We can change our responses – both corporately and personally - and things will flourish again. And Timothy challenges us to a life of contentment, based on our dependence and the interdependence of life. We came into the world with nothing, we will leave with nothing. We depend on others, as well as ourselves, to have a good and faithful life. Spiritual contentment is found when we place our relationship to God and others before ownership and the acquiring of ‘stuff’. Our spiritual journeys are fulfilled in compassionate action and full-hearted awareness of the poor. Peace is grounded in an enlargement of the spirit that puts the needs of others on a par with our own.
