Silence
Creativity
- We aim to be catalysts, encouraging and releasing creativity in both church and community as we seek and share God in the inner city.
Where have you been moved by creation recently?
Where was it? What were the distinctive shapes, scents and colours there?
Is there an act of human creativity that has inspired you?
What was it that touched your heart?
Simply hold the delight of these before God in prayer.
God we are alive and we thank you!
Your creative heart beats around us
in colour and sound, sight and scent.
We are blown away by your vision,
awed by your imagination,
which is so much bigger than we could dream of.
But you have planted in us
an imagination that can soar to the highest places
and release in us gifts well hidden and under-used.
Our God,
let your Spirit unlock in us new ways
of thinking, of being,
of behaving, of creating,
and give us the eyes to see potential
in ourselves,
in others,
in our neighbourhood,
in our families.
And use us all to make the world
more beautiful,
more whole,
more integrated,
more centred,
more lovely,
just as Jesus did.
Free prayer
The Lord’s Prayer
Lord, in your mercy
Let your kingdom come!
