Opening Prayer ( Unison )
Ever present, ever loving God, we come to the end of this year mindful of the things we have done and left undone in the past. Forgive the times when we did not reach out in love to the least of your sons and daughters. Forgive us O God, when we closed our eyes to the sight of people living in rags on the street; when we stopped our ears to cries of those who are lonely; Help us to see you in all we meet. Help us to be your hands, feet, and voice in this world. In Jesus’ name who taught us to pray…
