Synod Prayer

Creator, Son, Spirit, 
God of North and South and East and West, God of the large and the small.

We thank you for your wonderful, amazing, unconditional love that reaches into our lives, across our Eastern Synod through the United Reformed Church and on into the world and all space and time.

We pray for our Synod: for the churches in the Area Partnerships of Norfolk and Waveney, Cambridge and South Suffolk, HAEBEA, Colchester and Tendring, Mid Essex and South Essex.

May we be united in your love and ready always to walk in your way, knowing you are always with us. Amen
