We are a group of 10 churches and 2 Primary Schools in the Leigh and Hindley area, part of the wider Bolton and Rochdale Methodist District.
The calling of the Methodist Church is to respond to the gospel of God's love in Christ and to live out its discipleship in worship and mission. We are committed to growing in Christ both as a body and as individuals, through worship, learning and caring, service and evangelism.
Loving God, help me feel connected to you so that you may use me where you have placed me. Help me draw close enough that I may see with your eyes, hear with your ears and think with your mind, because you are a just God and justice is a part of loving. Let me support victims who aren't recognised and people excluded from the accepted circle. Enable me to help people who are suffering because others seek to increase their wealth. Empower me to advocate for children who cannot fulfil their potential or for those whose voices aren't heard. Bring me out from my comfort zone. Stop me just acting in my own interests. Let me do right! Amen.
Invitational God, we celebrate the times when we know we are in the right place at the right time.
Thank you for your presence, sometimes quiet and sometimes noisy.
Help us to know the difference between doing lots of things to make us feel of value, and fullness of life.
Incarnational God, thank you for standing alongside us when we don't know where we are meant to be or what we are meant to do.
Help us to discern what is of you, and what is a distraction.
May your kingdom come. Amen.
