We pray for all those affected by the recent tragic incident in Southport and the subsequent race riots. Statements from church leaders can be found on our Pastoral Letter page. Please also join us in praying the prayers below.

"God of all life, we ask for peace in a time of strife. We ask for healing in a time of trouble. We pray for the end of violence and intimidation, expressed in our towns and on our streets in recent days. You call us to care for the vulnerable in our society without prejudice. Help us to respond to hatred and violence with love and support for the victims, with solidarity and kindness towards those who are afraid. We know that living in harmony is not easy. We know we often fall short. But we know that, with your help and inspiration, we can be a people known for their strong compassion and deep welcome. God of peace, bring peace."  Amen

A Prayer for Southport

Gracious God, words alone cannot express our sadness and disbelief, our heartbreak and anguish when such precious lives are so brutally stolen. We offer to you the cries of our own hearts and pray for those families whose grief and loss is impossible to comprehend.

Help us all to cling to hope, even amidst this senseless brutality. Be close to all whose lives have been so cruelly scarred; surround them with your love; hold them fast in their sorrow, and grant them strength amidst their unbearable pain.

We cannot escape our anger and devastation, but choose to seek hope even amidst this darkness. For all its horror, may it spur us even more to never surrender to despair, but build a world where peace, hope and love prevail.  AMEN
