We offer you a moment to pause and enter more deeply into the Advent season.

The recording of the Advent Readings, held on the 4th December, is now available to view here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=icdy3LYI4gw

As well as the great selection of readings by Wild Goose Publications authors, it also features a reading of a couple of powerful Advent poems by Kathy Galloway, who sadly passed away in August. They’re read beautifully by Neil Paynter.

Our next Advent event is on Friday 12th December, Prayers and Poems of Want, with
Pádraig Ó Tuama and the Wild Goose Resource Group. You can register for that here: iona.civiplus.net/ssp/prayers-and-poems-want

(If you don’t seem to get an e-mail after registering, do check your spam or junk email folder to see if it might be hiding there, otherwise send us a DM and we’ll see what we can do to get you sorted!)

The Green Christian December prayer guide is available now 🌨

Our prayer guide features daily points to pray for, as well as liturgy to use in your own intercessions.

Praying around the same topic each day allows us to pray together, even when we pray alone and according to our own tradition. We all pray in our own ways – like trees, plants and birds pray in their ways.

Today is Safeguarding Sunday, when thousands of churches from all traditions join together to celebrate the protection of all those who are vulnerable.

A Prayer for Safeguarding Sunday 🙏
Loving and gracious God,
on this Safeguarding Sunday we hold before you all who have been harmed through abuse.
You see every story and every wound, and your heart grieves with those who suffer.
Ten years on from the Past Cases Review, we give thanks for progress made,
yet we remember those still struggling to heal.
Bring comfort, courage, and hope to all survivors, and surround them with your peace.
We pray for all who work in safeguarding;
for wisdom, compassion, and strength in their calling.
Help your Church to be a place of safety and truth,
where every voice is heard and every person valued.
Through your healing Spirit, make us instruments of love and renewal,
reflecting the light of Christ in all we do.
Amen.

**Prayer of the Day**

Forgive us Lord when we are so quick to enjoy all you give, yet so slow to say, ‘Thank You.’

We praise you for the peace that comes from knowing that, in Jesus, we are forgiven, loved and free.

Help us to rest in your peace through all the ups and downs, doubts and fears, joys and sorrows of each day. Hold us secure in your loving arms.

Amen. … See MoreSee Less

Pray with us today.

Come as a dove flying over still waters of hope, putting peace into the hearts of people who would wage war.

Come to the captives and the refugees. Comfort all people who wait for freedom and all people who wait for them to be free.

Come as the sound of silence to hear the cries of people whose lives are limited by gender-based violence and domination. Stir up the hearts of all who abuse their power and privilege.

Come as flames of justice to a world where children are hungry; a world ripped apart by untruths and greed.

Come as water cascading down a mountain washing away the inequities of wealth and poverty. Come change the story. Come Holy Spirit, come now.

Amen.

Penny McCulloch, worship leader, Balsall Common Methodist Church, West Midlands

A prayer offered to those affected by the incident between Peterborough and Huntingdon.

God of compassion and peace, we hold before you all who were caught up in the events on the LNER, London bound train last night.
For those who were injured, frightened, or traumatised bring your healing and comfort.
For the emergency services and railway staff who responded grant them strength and calm.
For the families waiting for news surround them with your love and reassurance.
And for all who travel today with anxiety or fear restore their sense of safety and trust.
May your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard every heart and mind.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen. … See MoreSee Less

The Season of Creation came to a close yesterday on the Feast of St Francis.

Two years ago, his namesake Pope Francis published his apostolic exhortation Laudate Deum which calls for faster climate action from world leaders. This prayer was inspired by that work.

On Wednesday, Pope Leo XIV repeated the call and quoted his predecessor at the Raising Hope conference with faith leaders, scientists and other experts. … See MoreSee Less

A prayer for start of the new Connexional Year.

O Christ of the morning,
You who sang the stars into being,
Sing again into our hearts today.

As a new year unfolds,
we walk into the next chapter of your story,
the next line of your song.

May the Spirit stir our memory,
reminding us who we are
your people, your melody,
each life a note in your unfolding hymn.

Guide us in courage,
hold us in love,
send us with hope.

In the name of the One who goes before us,
beside us, and sings within us

Christ our companion,
Amen.

As we begin Creationtide, here is a prayer written by Faye Edwardes, Church Buildings Support Officer at Diocese of Truro.

Creator God,
You formed the heavens and the earth, the seas and all that dwell within them.
We give thanks for the beauty and wonder of your creation, for birdsong, for trees, for flowers, and for rivers that flow with life.
Forgive us, Lord, for the ways we have wounded the earth. Renew in us a spirit of selflessness and care. Help us to walk gently, choose wisely, and love boldly – all of your creatures and our fragile planet.
May we join hands in hope, that your creation will flourish and your glory be revealed in every living thing.

Amen. … See MoreSee Less

We pray that every weak and desperate individual be granted courage and the power to live.
