OPENING
PRAYER
God
of peace, who promises to change the world, you bring
good
news to the poor,
freedom
to the captives,
healing
to the broken-hearted.
God
of peace, as we gather for worship.
Open
our hearts to receive your peace.
God
of peace, as we sing and pray,
open
our eyes to see where peace and justice need to be planted.
God
of peace, when we go out from this time of worship,
allow
us to carry your promise of justice and peace wherever we go.
This
we pray in the name of Jesus, whose birth we prepare for, whose
passion for the Kingdom we share.
Amen.
COMMISSIONING:
The
world around us is a place in need.
Some
need healing, some need freeing, we all need Good News.
We
go out to serve and share,
to
offer the promise that the Year of God’s Favour is coming
to
offer the hope for God’s Shalom
to
carry the Peace of Christ into a world of strife.
As
you go out to live and serve, know that God is with you
know
that the Peace of Christ flows around and through you
know
that the Holy Spirit imbues all that we do and are.
Go
in Peace, in Love, in Hope.
Amen
