Thought for the week

Government guidance around non-essential contact, advices that public worship is suspended until further notice.  In the absence of church services here is a prayer:

God our saviour,

look on this wounded world

in pity and in power;

hold us fast to your promises of peace

won for us by your Son,

our Saviour Jesus Christ.

Amen.
