| God of sadness and celebration, you share our pain at loss as well as our joy in reunion. We remember with gratitude the mixed emotions of VE Day, in people’s hearts, and on the streets.

A prayer written by Martyn Payne:
Speak to us Lord,
between rest and work,
between work and sleep,
between busyness and silence,
between silence and words,
between getting ready and going out,
between coming home and settling down.
that from these spaces in our lives
we might grow into fullness of life,
every moment of our days.
Amen.
