St. Philip and St. James Church Family Collect

God of heaven and earth,

You have called us to be part of the body of Christ. 

In our fellowship, strengthen our friendship and trust;

As we worship, lead us to honour you

And to recognise the gift of your presence among us;

Through our prayer, open our hearts to your truth;

And in all we learn, teach us the depths of your purpose and plan.

Equip us to be witnesses of your transforming love in our lives,

Through your blessing, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
