This coming Sunday is, for those who follow the liturgical year, All Saints, and, as I said to our Musical Director last week in repsonse to his question we are "sort of" doing that theme this year.

So, here's a prayer I just found whilst hunting for ideas...

Eternal God

You have always taken men and women

Of every nation, age and colour

and made them saints;

like them, transformed,

Like them, baptized in Jesus' name,

take us to share your glory.
