Benedicite Aotearoa
- O give thanks to our God who is good:
whose love endures for ever. - You sun and moon, you stars of the southern sky:
give to our God your thanks and praise. - Sunrise and sunset, night and day:
give to our God your thanks and praise. - All mountains and valleys, grassland and scree,
glacier, avalanche, mist and snow:
give to our God your thanks and praise. - You kauri and pine, rata and kowhai, mosses and ferns:
give to our God your thanks and praise. - Dolphins and kahawai, sealion and crab,
coral, anemone, pipi and shrimp:
give to our God your thanks and praise. - Rabbits and cattle, moths and dogs,
kiwi and sparrow and tui and hawk:
give to our God your thanks and praise. - You Maori and Pakeha, women and men,
all who inhabit the long white cloud:
give to our God your thanks and praise. - All you saints and martyrs of the South Pacific:
give to our God your thanks and praise.
Collect
Jesus, peacemaker, disgraced and crucified,
you were with Te Whiti
in refusing to meet force with violence;
speak to us now with gospel power.
Amen.
Thanksgiving
Thank Him for 3 things that happened today (Good or Not!)
Prayer
Our Father,
give us today our daily bread.
God of seed and growth and harvest,
creator of need, creator of satisfaction;
give us, we pray, our daily bread,
sufficient and assured for all.
Give us also, we pray, the bread of life,
and we shall have a care to feed the hungry,
and to seek for peace and justice in the world.
Help us, then, to remember and to know
that you are our life today and every day;
you are the food we need, now and for ever.
Amen
The Blessing
May Christ the King give us his blessing of peace.

Let us bless the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
