Prayer of the Week 18 December 2016

Once we were no community at all –
a wandering collection of outsider people,
stateless and homeless, nameless and hopeless,
then, Lord of Salvation, you gathered us in
round a child from a manger to claim us, each one:
a unified nation of witnessing voices
joined up with heaven in life’s New Song.
We come and adore.

Amen
