Prayers

Bookmark prayer for a Parish

God who calls us,

help us to leave the security of the past

and step out with faith

into the future you have planned for us.

Give us the strength, courage and faith

to be true to our baptismal promises,

that we may be fellow-workers with you

and with your Son, Jesus Christ,

through whom we pray. Amen.

(On the reverse side one can ask for prayers for the different organisations, ministries and groups within the Parish.)

Invitation to Evening Prayer from the 1928 Prayer Book

Beloved, we are come together in the presence of Almighty God and of the whole company of heaven to offer unto him, through our Lord Jesus Christ our worship and praise and thanksgiving; to make confession of our sins; to pray, as well for others as for ourselves, that we may know more truly the greatness of God’s love and show forth in our lives the fruits of his grace; and to ask on behalf of all people such things as their well being doth require.
