God of our days and years
We set this time apart for you.
Form us in the likeness of Christ
So that our lives may glorify you.

O Lord open our lips
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise
Send your Holy Spirit upon us,
and clothe us with power from on high. Alleluia.
Blessed are you, Lord God of our salvation,
to you be praise and glory for ever.
As your Spirit moved over the face of the waters
bringing light and life to your creation,
pour out your Spirit on us today
that we may walk as children of light
and by your grace reveal your presence.
Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Blessed be God for ever.

The night has passed, and the day lies open before us;
Let us pray with one heart and mind.

As we rejoice in the gift of this new day
So may the light of your presence O God,
Set our hearts on fire with love for you;
Now and for ever
Amen.

The Collect of the Week
O God the King of glory,
you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ
with great triumph to our kingdom in heaven:
we beseech you, leave us not comfortless,
but send your Holy Spirit to strengthen us
and exalt us to the place where our Saviour Christ is gone before,
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen
The Lord’s Prayer
Being made one in the power of the Spirit,
As our Saviour taught us, so we pray:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen.

May the Spirit kindle in us the fire of God’s love.
Amen
