A
PRAYER LITANY FOR THE WEBSITE
Lord, we pray today for your Church in Ashford carrying a gospel of forgiveness and freedom which is so much needed. Thank you for those with a gift of sharing this good news in evangelism; thank you for those with a gift for sharing this good news in the way they live. Give us the courage and the willingness to be your witnesses in ways that are generous and respectful, and which come from the overflow of our love and delight in you. Fill us with your love, so that Ashford may believe.
We hold before you the Churches of this Deanery:
We
thank you for the faithful witness and ministry of many from these churches over
the centuries. Help us to keep faith with them as today we unite to discuss the
need to grow forward together building on the foundations that they have laid
and on the One who is both our Rock and our Redeemer.
Amen
| For
calling us to be your people, We praise you, O God. For giving us a share in the inheritance of your saints, We praise you, O God. For all who have taught us in the faith We praise you, O God. For all who have inspired us We praise you, O God. For all who have guided us and been an example We praise you, O God. That we may do what you would have us do in this Deanery Good Lord, hear us. That we may be the people you would have us be, Good Lord, Hear us. |  |
