In the awesome name of God,
In the victorious name of Jesus,
In the mysterious name of the Spirit,
We offer our thanks and praise to the communion of God, and we wait;
We are still (light first candle),
We listen (light second candle),
We wait (light third candle).
God of all time, you create us, gift us and call us to be co-workers in the creative tasks of bringing love, hope, justice and transformation to a broken world.
Gracious God, we wait for the sounds of your presence amongst us, trusting that you never leave us without witnesses, teachers, prophets and peace makers. Help us to listen for the voices of our First Peoples, of Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress, of Northern Regional Council of Congress, congregations in remote communities, and all those who seek to hear your call and celebrate your presence in their lives.
Merciful God, we wait for the sounds of discipleship, trusting in your provision of generous hospitality, patient endeavour and courageous activity. Help us to listen for the voices of caretakers, cleaners, chaplains and friends. We give thanks for all those children and young people who seek to hear your call and celebrate your presence in their lives.
Wisdom God, we wait for the sounds of leadership, trusting in your invitation to be community, to gather around your table, share a simple meal, break open your word and feel pain. Help us to listen to the voices of those who protest, write letters, campaign, advocate and pray. We give thanks for our agencies, Uniting World, Uniting Care, Frontier Services and all those who seek to hear your call and celebrate your presence in their lives.
Shaped by the breaking of bread and the gushing of wine, God opens our minds, touches our heart and calls us to participate together in His divine presence.
Thanks be to God,
Amen.
