National Prayers
National Prayer of the Anglican Church Women of Canada
Almighty God, we pray for your blessing and grace on our work and witness as Anglican Church Women in Canada. We give you thanks and praise for giving us wisdom, knowledge and understanding so that we may serve you in spirit and in truth. Called to be your Church, may our study, learning, worship and service be always to your glory and the building of your kingdom in our communities and throughout the world. In our ministry may we always respond to the needs of others with your love. We pray in the name of the One who redeemed and loves us, your Son, Jesus our Saviour. Amen
Grace before Meals
God, Our Father, as we Anglican Church Women gather here with friends, we ask you to enter into our fellowship and conversation as our unseen guest. As we share this meal together we thank you for all your blessings; for life and health, tears and laughter, fun and fellowship and for our homes and loved ones.
We ask you now to bless this gift of food which you gave to nourish us and bless the hands of those who prepared it. May it satisfy our hunger, and in sharing it together may we draw closer to you and to one another. In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen
Thanks after Meals
Thank you Father, for the meal and fellowship we have just shared and enjoyed together. Make us ever thankful for all the gifts of your mercy and make us faithful in their use. Grant that we may always recognize your loving kindness and show our appreciation for all we have received and be ever mindful of the needs of others. In Jesus’ holy name, Amen
