God’s love has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Romans 5:5 NIV
Holy Spirit
living flame
Burning brightly
Never to wane
Fanning the flames
Of perpetual love
Burning for justice
Working for good
Renewing hearts
Minds and lives
With the love of God.
in Jesus Christ
Holy Spirit
Burning bright
Transforming the world
with Love and light
Gracious God, your love and faithfulness encircle and shine throughout our world. May the love of Jesus bring hope, light, life and peace to all our lives through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Gracious God as we look at the lighted candles and reflect on the power of your love, we pray for the people, places and situations on our hearts. May the light of your love shine ever brighter in our world. Amen

Light of the World
God of the resurrection, we thank you for the beautiful sunshine that has lifted our spirits this week amongst the sadness of events in our world.
As we have seen the sun shine and felt its warmth we are reminded that You sent Jesus into our world to bring light and warmth into our lives. And so we give thanks this morning for Your love that we witness through Jesus, a love that will always warm our hearts, and may we too seek to witness to that love and share it with other people.
In John 8:12, Jesus says, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life’. Help us to fix our eyes upon that light, in the day ahead.
Amen.
