Sung Eucharist
Second Sunday after Trinity
14 June 2026
These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: 'Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the house of Israel. As you go, proclaim the good news, "The kingdom of heaven has come near."' Matthew 10: 5-7

A prayer from Embrace the Middle East
Almighty God,
We turn to you as we witness the rising of conflict
And the fear laid upon ordinary lives.
Trusting in your steadfast love,
we hold before you our friends and partners across the Middle East
in communities already stretched beyond endurance.
We remember before you all whose hearts are filled with dread today.
Surround them with your protection.
Be a fortress for those who cannot flee
and a shield for those whose work is to heal and to hope.
Open paths for wisdom, restraint, and justice
where none seem possible.
Give courage to peacemakers
and teach us to stand with those who suffer,
to pray without ceasing
and to hope, even now, in your redeeming love.
Amen.
