Sung Eucharist
Sunday next before Lent
23 February 2025
And Jesus woke up and rebuked the wind and the raging waves; they ceased, and there was a calm ... They were amazed and said to one another, "Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?" Luke 8: 24b, 25b.

A Prayer for Peace in the Middle East
Compassionate and loving God, we stand with those who cry in anguish in Israel, Palestine and Lebanon.
With those who have lost their lives to violence, those who mourn, those who have been displaced, those who are held unjustly against their will, those who have lost their homes and livelihoods.
We pray for an end to the fighting and violence.
We pray for the courage to speak up for peace, to challenge the hatred in our own hearts and minds, and to do all that we can to make for the peace that builds our common life as the nations of your world.
Lord, move our hearts.
A Prayer from Embrace the Middle East.
