12. REFLECTION.

Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have believed and have come to know that you are the Holy One of God’.

13. Even in the dark of night,
You leave a light on for me,
and are always watching over me.
 
Lamplighter! lover, friend,
You are the keeper of my dreams.
 be ours this night.

14. When our feeble faith deserts us
and fear runs amuck, lend us yours
We know that will be enough
As it has been so many times before

15. Let us take a few moments for you to post your biffing prayers

16. And here I am God, Alone!
So many churches do not meet my needs, I cannot climb the stairs, I cannot hear the celebrant
The language is too complex, I cannot read the literature, I have been so hurt by bad Bible teaching I simply cannot face it again.

17. We come to this online place a place where so many of us gather,alone & yet strangely together. In our loneliness,our brokenness,our feelings of being cut off,cast adrift & yet we find much comfort in this place as we build this online community, an expression of your l love.

18. Father we thank you for this time together tonight, be with us as we learn to live with each other, with all our brokenness and pain, with our loneliness and isolation and bring us comfort in being alone together.

19. A BLESSING

As the sun sinks on the day
Keep our hearts afloat
Let this nighttime be our harbour
A shelter until dawn

20. GO IN PEACE

In the name of the Father
and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit.
