Creator God, we are your people.
We look to the future with optimism and with faith in you, as we pursue our call to provide justice and fullness of life for all people.

 We pray that every man, woman and child
may develop their potential and meet you
in themselves and in one another.
May we enjoy a totally welcoming community,
with you as our centre, joined hand in hand with our sisters and brothers.
We ask this in Jesus’ name.

Amen.
