Prayer for Today                                        

Father, as we come together in this act of worship, we come into the presence of the one who has made us, the one who comes among us in Jesus.  Touch everyone gathered here today.  Fire us all with your love and lift us out of the ordinary and the routine. May all who share this sacred time know that they have found you in Jesus

Introit

May the mind of Christ my Saviour
live in me from day to day,
by His love and power controlling
all I do and say.
