Prayer

2021 Theme - Unity – The way forward.

The volatility of life in recent times has shown us unequivocally that we need to work together, often merely to survive, let alone to thrive and progress. Let’s take the opportunity to start afresh and rebuild our lives together. To count our blessings and to put them to work. Existing and emerging communities. Working together.

The powerful potential of Unity. The special brew of ideas from all over the world that created our great way of life can continue evolving if we work together. Let’s not stop now, let’s move forward unified.

In 2021, we are calling on you to help build a more cohesive community during Refugee Week. Whether hosting a local meal, a community event or attending an online event to hear from people all over the world, join us as we call for the spirit of unity as we recover from the isolation we have all endured in 2020.

Stronger. Safer. Healthier. Happier. Together...

Let us pray … 

God of the oppressed, Protector of the poor, Your light guides all who search for peace and justice. Give new hope to those who have lost everything in their bid for freedom and peace.

Melt our hearts with compassion for their plight. Give us a generosity of spirit, that with open arms and willing hearts, we may welcome the stranger in your name. We ask this prayer through Christ our Lord and in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
