====Opening Prayer====
Into your presence we come, Parent God as your children have done throughout the centuries.
 
In vast Cathedrals, parish Churches, Chapels, homes, warehouses, converted cinemas, in lonely isolated places,
 
and now in digital places. Alone or gathered together with others, your Church is wherever your people meet
 
together in worship, in fellowship and in prayer. In this season of repentance and healing, we accept God’s invitation
 
to be ever-mindful of the needs of others, offering our prayers on behalf of God’s community in the church and world.
 
Amen.
