Each year, Churches Together in Cornwall joins with many other groups around the county in daily prayer for unity during the eight days 18-25 January.
This year, we cannot meet each other in person so we are meeting online.
Join us live at 12 noon daily on Zoom or Facebook.
Listen to our daily podcast from church and community leaders. Sign up for our virtual prayer chain and commit to an hour - or more - of prayer at some point during the week, praying at that time wherever you are and however you like. God hears our prayers however we pray! And if you would like others to pray for a particular matter, post it on this board and we will include it in the daily service.]]> 2020-12-28 23:48:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ctcmissioner/44x1lgpexvwndlav/wish/1044522777 Praying for the NHS: ctcmissioner https://padlet.com/ctcmissioner/44x1lgpexvwndlav/wish/1073971599 We join with the Baptist Union of Great Britain in their call for sustained prayer for the NHS at this time:
  • Pray for all the NHS staff for their own safety, energy and peace in dealing with each and every patient.
  • Pray for those in hospital leadership, for wisdom and for good decisions to give the best outcomes for patients.
  • Pray for patients; for healing, for peace and ultimately to fight this disease and get home and pray for their relatives who feel helpless.
  • Pray for the vaccine, that it will and is working against this latest strain of Covid-19.
  • Pray for a reprieve and an end to Covid-19.

And no one is ever far from your loving care.
In your kindness watch over migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, 
Those separated from their loved ones,
Those who are lost
And those who have been exiled from their homes. 
Bring them safely to the place where they long to be, 
And help us always to show your kindness to strangers 
And those in need.
We ask this through Christ our Lord, 
Who too was a refugee and migrant 
Who travelled to another land Searching for a home.
 
Amen

It is in the depths of life that we find you
at the heart of this moment
at the centre of our soul
deep in the earth and its eternal stirrings.
You are the Ground of our being
the Well-Spring of time
Womb of the earth
the Seed-Force of stars.
And so at the opening of this day
we wait
not for blessings from afar
but for You
the very Soil of our soul
the early Freshness of morning 
the first Breath of day.
 
Prayer of Blessing
 
May the deep blessings of earth be with us.
May the fathomless soundings of seas surge in our soul.
May boundless stretches of the universe echo in our depths
to open us to wonder to strengthen us for love
to humble us with gratitude
that we may find ourselves in one another
that we may lose ourselves in gladness
that we give ourselves to peace.
 
(Tuesday Morning. Praying with the Earth, John Philip Newell)

Will you go where you don't know and never be the same?

Will you let my love be shown, will you let my name be known, will you let my life be grown,
in you and you in me?

Will you leave yourself behind if I but call your name?

Will you care for cruel and kind and never be the same?
Will you risk the hostile stare should your life attract or scare? Will you let me  answer  prayer in you and you in me?
 
Will you let the blinded see if I but call your name?

Will you set the prisoners free and never be the same?
Will you kiss the leper clean, and do such as this unseen, and admit to what I mean in you and you in me?
 
Will you love the 'you' you hide if I but call your name?

Will you quell the fear inside and never be the same?
Will you use the faith you've found to reshape the world around,
through my sight and touch and sound in you and you in me?
 
Lord, your summons echoes true when you but call my name.

Let me turn and follow you and never be the same.
In your company I'll go
where your love and footsteps show.
Thus I'll move and live and grow in you and you in me.
