A Guild Prayer

From Ron Marsh, a member of the Wesley Guild at Tilehust Methodist Church, Reading

Heavenly Father, as we close our eyes and clasp our hands together bonding with you, Lord we ask;

Give us the necessary skills and humility to serve you in all we do,

Use these skills seen and unseen to help us spread the good news of your heavenly power

Instil in us the necessity of reaching out to to others, who do not know you,

Lead us through the pitfalls of our present world

Drawing us ever nearer to your heavenly kingdom as we travel along the special highway helped by the Holy Spirit. We offer this prayer through and with the power of your Son and our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Amen

This year, Sept. ’09 to August ’10 is a year of celebration for the guild at Christ Church Halton, Leeds, as it is 50 years since its inception. A programme of special events has been planned throughout the year. This photo shows the re-union dinner held in October. A concert followed the dinner. During the interval a ‘birthday cake’ was cut and a toast was proposed.
