Lord God,
Looking back, we give you our thanks for the love we have received, the care we have been shown and the help you have given to us and our circuit of churches.
Looking forward, we ask your help in everything the future holds – all the challenges we shall face, the opportunities we shall take and the disappointments we shall endure.
Guide us, faithful God, that we may walk with you and work for your kingdom of justice, peace and love. Grant us courage to discover more of your will for our lives and a deep and sincere love for people everywhere.
In the name of Christ. Amen
