Evening Prayer – our last with Ali E who prays that God’s love and brightness covers us and gives us hope in sightless places – as we hold out our hearts like cups, to catch the stars.

Angelique asks God to make us less fearful, to keep us safe and to hold our hand as we we walk. Evening Prayer reminds us to trust more freely and to thank God for our community and the support and sense of belonging that it affords.

God with us as we lie down, Christ with us watching, the Holy Spirit with us strengthening us at the end of this day – our Evening Prayer rises before God as Ali celebrates the simplicity and rhythm of our daily lives.

Ally W prays that our souls and bodies are placed in the Holy Trinity’s refuge this night and for always in our Evening Prayer.

Evening Prayer – Ally reminds us that the light of Christ dispels the darkness of our hearts. We hold before God those who have hard decisions to make, who struggle with difficult people at work, those who are unjustly treated, those who are disappointed or grieving – we commit to care for these and all...

We commend our loved ones, ourselves and all those we meet today into Christ’s hands during our Evening Prayer, as Ally prays for us to have a quiet night’s sleep.
