We begin our prayer in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

This coming Sunday of Easter is also Earth day and a reminder for us to give thanks for God's goodness as found in Creation.

We pray:

Let there be …

respect for the earth, peace for its people, love in our lives, delight in the good,  forgiveness for past wrongs,  and from now on a new start.

O God, help us to learn:

from stars and seas and spaces;

from babies, infants and children;

from plants and trees and creatures great and small;

from young people, the middle aged and the elderly;.

O God, help us to learn:

from the loved ones gone before us;

from the ancestors we never knew;

from the ups and downs of our stories;

from the seasons of our lives.

O God, help us to learn:

from your gifts others find in us;

from our insights of true worth;

from our favourite music, books and pictures;

from our hobbies, games and pastimes.

O God, help us to learn:

from the diversity of life's experience;

from the wonder of encounter with You;

from the demands of opposing tensions;

from the balancing calm of Your love;

O God, help us to learn.​

We close by praying:

 Glory be to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit

As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
