PRAYER FOR THE WEEK of Christian Unity

O Lord, our God, work us together as contrasting colours; join us together across divides of differences; bind us together with loving connections; unite us together combining our strengths; knit us together in patterns of worship; pull us together demolishing our barriers; mould us together retaining our personhood; Cement us together softening our bitterness, design us together to be communities of peace.  Amen
