PREPARATION FOR WORSHIP... (The words below are a short prayer which may be

share our joy and burden in God’s presence).

Lord Jesus, the First and the Last and the

Living One, and who in your mercy has

brought us safely to the beginning of another

year, accept our thanksgiving for the blessing

of the past, renew our strength and courage in

same, yesterday, today and for ever.

Amen.
