OPENING
PRAYER
God
you meet us where we are, when we are ready.
Maybe
in the light of dawn, or the heat of mid-day, or in the last hours of
sunlight.
Whenever
we meet you, whenever we pick up your invitation, you say:
Come,
join in the labour, I have work for you.
And
when the day's labour ends you say:
here
is your payment, here is what you need for today.
In
our worship, in our songs and prayers, in our lives,
open
our hearts and souls to the wonder of you mercy, your grace, your
justice.
This
we pray in the name of Jesus, our rock and Redeemer, who taught his
friends to pray saying...
COMMISSIONING:
Our
time of worship, a break from the busy-ness of life, draws to a
close.
And
we return to the world where we live and serve, where we share God's
love in word and deed.
Go
from this place as agents of justice, as carriers of grace, as
workers in the vineyard.
We
go to share in the preparation of the Kingdom.
And
as you go, remember that you do not walk alone.
The
one who has called us saying “Come, I have work for you” is with
us always.
Guiding
and supporting. Parent, Child and Spirit.
Amen.
