“Family Prayer Song”
UNISON PRAYER
God of truth, we come longing for
the peace that only you can provide. We seem so often to be tossed to and fro,
blown about by every wind except that of your own Holy Spirit. Be pleased to
dwell here this day, to receive our worship and our praise. Linger long, and
speak the truth to us in love, that we may come to the unity of faith and to
the knowledge of the full stature of Christ, in whose name we pray. Amen.

with two different families. You could
meet for any meal at a home. restaurant or park, gather for dessert and

people.
