Prayer for 11th Sunday after Trinity

Hospitable God, you invite us to a banquet

where the last may be first,

and the humble and the mighty trade places.

Let us share your abundance let us greet strangers as angels you have sent!

Send your Spirit now

so that we may find a place at your table

and welcome others with radical hospitality.

In the name of Jesus, Guest at all our tables, we pray.

Amen.

We pray for those who are sick and who ask for our prayers: Patrick, Mark and Debbie,

Mike, Joan C, Emma, Arthur, and Gill. We also remember silently in our hearts: Heather,

Rest in peace

Havenstreet from 1988 until 1999

Victims of the helicopter crash on the island
