God of life and light,
we come to this time of prayer with grateful hearts, knowing that the joy of Jesus, the Risen One dwells within us. (John 15:11)

In a world that often feels restless and uncertain may we find ourselves resting in you.

Forgive us when we place more trust in ourselves and our own faith rather than in your abiding presence and faithfulness.

Remind us again and again that that we are held in your love. Breathe on us Holy Spirit with your peace and faithful discernment.

May your peace steady our hearts, softens our words,
and strengthen our resolve to be agents of reconciliation in your world.

Where there is anxiety, let us carry calm;
where there is division, let us sow unity;
where there is despair, let us be bearers of light and hope.

Remind us … lead us … to rediscover what it means to be your disciples:
to follow with courage, to listen with humility,
to serve with generosity, to love and forgive abundantly.

Renew in us a passion that reflects the grace we have received through Jesus.

In the name of Jesus Christ, our teacher and guide, we pray.
Amen.

𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟭: Pentecost

Holy God,
On this Pentecost day,
we gather across this land and across the life of the Uniting Church, seeking again the movement of your Holy Spirit.

Breathe upon your Church once more.

Where there is weariness, bring renewal.
Where there is division, bring reconciliation.
Where there is fear, bring courage.
Where there is uncertainty, bring hope.

God of all peoples and all creation,
you continue to draw us together across cultures, languages, generations, and communities through the love of Christ.

As we begin these 30 days of prayer,
teach us to listen deeply —
to you,
to one another,
and to the voices we have too often overlooked.

We give thanks for the leadership and witness of the National Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress,
for the richness of our multicultural Church,
and for every community seeking to live faithfully in this time.

Renew us again as your people.

Weave us together in compassion.
Weave us together in justice.
Weave us together in truth and grace.
Weave us together in Christ’s love across cultures and boundaries.

And as your Spirit moved at Pentecost among many peoples and many languages,
may your Church today continue to bear witness to the good news of Jesus Christ with humility, courage, and joy.

We offer this season of prayer to you,
trusting that you are already at work among us.

In the name of Jesus Christ,
through the power of the Holy Spirit,
Amen.

The video recording of the Pentecost Sunday - 24th May - service is now available for viewing on our YouTube channel.

Rev Stephen Kim led the service, and his Pentecost-themed message was:
"The Gospel Proclaimed in Many Languages", covering the background to the first Pentecost and experiences in multi-lingual environments.
He gave us hope that we don't need to experience "angelic tongues" and visions to be able to speak with "the tongue of Christ"
