BENEFICE PRAYER Jesus said, 'I am the Light of the World Whoever follows me Will never walk in darkness But have the light of life.' As we rejoice in the gift of today, So may the light of your presence, O God, Set our hearts on fire with love for you Now and for ever. Amen
LORDS PRAYER Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
ENDING May Christ our light fill our darkness with his radiance. Amen.
