Lord God
Praise and adoration we bring this day
to the One who is with us
in the wonder and beauty of our world
golden beaches, high mountains, forests and burns
the One who is with us
in the people we know
family, friends, neighbours
the One who is with us
in all seasons
wind and rain, thunder and lightening, summer and winter
we come, bringing ourselves before you this day
joining together to sing your praise, listen to your Word, offer our prayers
as a community of faith in this place, at this time
bless us, in our time together, we pray
move within and around us,
by the power of the holy spirit
that our worship this day
may be acceptable in your sight, our Lord and God
increase our love for you, through Christ Jesus, we pray
cleanse our hearts of all which prohibits your love being revealed in this world
our shame and doubt
our sin against you and others
our burdens fail to put down
may we place all of these at your feet, Christ Jesus
place them at your feet
and receive anew your blessing
peace be with you
and in that blessing
know we are forgiven, our burdens are removed
and we are set free to worship and serve you
now and always
Amen
