Prayer
To pray is to make our hearts ready to experience the love of God in Jesus Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Prayer opens us more deeply to the transforming grace of God.
With words or silence, with stillness or action, alone or with others, we encourage you to pray in whatever way you feel comfortable.
Intercession
In our worship, we gather to join our prayers together in petition for the needs of the Church and the world, and for all who are in need. All Christians are called to share in the ministry of Christ’s intercession for the whole world.
We often pray with language which comes from the Bible and from the texts of our liturgy. But we knit together these words and images with ideas which come from our own hearts and from the communities in which we pray.
Remembrance
Bringing to mind family and friends who have died can be very painful, especially if the bereavement is recent.
In liturgical celebrations, however, remembrance is not just about looking back to the past but also looking ahead to the future in trust and hope.
Just as our loved one shared in Christ’s death in baptism, we believe he or she will share in Christ’s resurrection and enjoy eternal life in God’s presence.
