We pray for our country, and for our leaders. We pray for those tasked with upholding justice and keeping peace and those who are carers and educators.

We pray for ourselves and those we love: we give thanks for times of grace and contentment and we bring to You times of anxiety, loneliness, ill-health and loss.

Help us to bring light into all the darkness of life, spreading hope for a better world, a world where justice is made real by Your children living together in harmony.

Forgive us when we try to find our own way to God, to make God in our own image, and tame the passionate Christ reducing Him to become a pleasant companion - and not someone who does not mince words and makes demands on our lives.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Matthew 5:1-7

God, who is with us in all our periods of growth, whose beloved Son was brought to the temple and presented like any human child; grant that as we seek you in worship we may know the peace that came to Simeon, and find, Like Anna, our tongues loosened in praise; so that as we leave this place we may light the way of others and show where true salvation may be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Help us to quiet our minds to hear You call us, to feel You transform us, to know Your fierce love, and to seek Your way.

Give us the confidence to believe that at turning points, beginnings and endings, You watch over us, even if just out of sight. For you are God, and at no-one's beck and call. We do not have to find You, for You have found us. Glory be to You, O Lord.

This morning I spoke about the ICE operations in Minnesota, the Trump regime's authoritarianism and lies, the British Christians who support it, and the way God speaks against it even today through his ancient prophet Micah and through the teachings of Jesus

Help us to open the shutters of our minds that the light of Christ may shine into every corner of our souls.

It only takes a little salt
to change a loaf of bread,
An act of peace can help to halt
what violence seeks to spread.
It only takes a mighty few
who dare to take a stand
to bring in justice, love, and truth —
to help a hurting land. youtu.be/IeO1dLPTn7s

My dear brothers and sisters,
take note of this. Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.

God of light, we pray for people who find themselves in gloom and anguish, for families living with war and violence, for children alone and afraid, for women shipped into slavery. God of the nations, shine Your light into the darkness. Amen.

God of light, thank You for your spirit persistently shining amongst the shadows. Thank You for boldly breaking through the darkness. Thank You for illuminating the path before us. We marvel at the bright beams of love, hope and possibility You have created. Amen.

God of community, thank You for Your spirit hovering in our midst, knitting us together as a community of faithful disciples. Thank You for unravelling threads of untruth, distrust and darkness. Thank You for casting on threads of truth, caring and compassion. Amen.

Forgiving God, we come together to admit our wrongs and ask your forgiveness. We have quarrelled. Nations fight. Families dispute. Congregations argue. Eternal One, forgive us. Knit us together in Christ. Amen.

Warm wishes to all celebrating Burn’s Night.
O Scotia! my dear, my native soil! For whom my warmest wish to heaven is sent; Long may thy hardy sons of rustic toil Be blest with health, and peace, and sweet content. Robert Burns
