Lord, hear our prayer:

Dearest Jesus, we praise you for the life of your church and the deep fellowship that is ours in him; for every experience that draws us closer together as he breaks down the walls of distrust and the barriers of prejudice we build. We praise you for the assurance that the love, joy, worship and fellowship we share now are only a sample of all that you have in store for us in the heaven of your love. We praise you for our oneness in Christ and ask that our love for each other may be a channel of your grace for others. In your name sweet Jesus we pray.

Amen.
