AS we gather to reflect and discuss,to share and to make decisions as a pastoral council, we take a moment to place ourselves in the presence of our God and creator..PAUSE…
we light a candle to remind us of God’S presence with us now. (Candle is lit and placed in the centre of the group)
Living God, You call us to be the hands and feet of Christ in our world.
Stand us now in your presence,
that we may be refreshed and renewed by your love and guidance.
Amen.
