Glencairn Methodist Church

Lord God,
whose blessed Son our Saviour
gave his back to the smiters
and did not hide his face from shame;
give us grace to endure the sufferings of this present time
with sure confidence in the glory that shall be revealed;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
 

or for Mothering Sunday

God of compassion,

whose Son Jesus Christ, the child of Mary,

shared the life of a home in Nazareth,

and on the cross drew the whole human family to himself;

Strengthen us in our daily living

that in joy and in sorrow

we may know the power of your presence

to bind us together and to heal;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.
