God, companion and guide,
thank you for the gift of faith.
Thank you for accompanying us
as we journey together with you
and with the companions you send our way in this gathering.
Open our hearts to the joy of your presence.
Empower us to here your call to action in today’s service,
to heed James’s reminder
that the gift of faith is dead
if we do not live it out each moment,
one day at a time.
May the words shared in today’s service
encourage us to reach out neighbours
in need of justice, love, care, safety and shelter.
Help us live out our faith together,
today and each day.
