Prayers

Since March, Scottish Christians from many churches have been praying together on Sunday evenings. Ramanee Bengough leads us now in the prayer for this week.

Hymn

Our final hymn is “Guide me, O thou great Jehovah”, recorded for BBC Songs of Praise at St Asaph Cathedral, Denbighshire, Wales.

Grace

We normally say the words of the Grace to each other. We say them now to whoever is with us, and to everyone we have thought about during this time of worship.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all, now and evermore. Amen.

Final music

Wachet auf by Bach, played on our church organ
