Let the light of Christ shine in our lives Gather The Lord be with you And also with you Let the light of Christ shine in our lives

Receive Jesus said to his disciples … Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. From the Gospel according to John, chapter 14, verse 27

Engage “Although it was a Christian initiative that led to the founding of the Week of Prayer for World Peace in 1974, it soon became an inter faith activity, and now welcomes everyone, of all faith traditions or none, to take part. Our first Chairman, the late Dr Edward Carpenter, former Dean of Westminster, established the guiding principle of the Week in the words “The peace of the world must be prayed for by the faiths of the world”, and this is still the basis of our work today.” Extract from the Week of Prayer for World Peace website.

Engage Some discussion ideas … How do you think bringing people together from different faiths and praying for peace can help the world? Do you know anyone of other faiths – have you prayed together? Activity suggestion … Write prayers of peace. Think of places where there is fighting. Ask for God’s help to find ways to bring peace. Video suggestion … Archbishop Desmond Tutu discusses practical examples of how peace can happen … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm6rWUhQR4I

Respond Amen Lead me from death to life, from falsehood to truth. Lead me from despair to hope, from fear to trust. Lead me from hate to love, from war to peace. Let peace fill our heart, our world, our universe. Amen Prayer for the Week of Prayer for World Peace
