Gathering prayer/Call to worship
Most Gracious God,
open us up to a sense of Your presence with us now,
for we believe that You are always here,
always present,
that there is no place where You are not.
And yet so often we go through life unaware of You;
so help us now to become aware of Your presence with us,
and within us,
and in the space between.
Help us to realise that there are no unsacred spaces,
only sacred places and desecrated places,
and that by our attention to You,
we make this a sacred space.
For we come to meet with You,
trusting that knowing You will bring us all that we need
to face what life has in store for us.
We long for the day when things will be done Your way
on earth as they are in heaven,
so hear us as we pray together, saying
Our Father...
AMEN
