'Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!' Psalm 95.2 📍 St Peter's, Bury

A golden angel statue with wings stands gracefully atop a pillar, set against a backdrop of large, vertical, tubular organ pipes. The surrounding colours are deep and muted, creating a contrast with the statue's bright sheen.

O God, forasmuch as without you
we are not able to please you;

who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

A prayer for World Mental Health Day

Compassionate God,
as you know each star you have created,
so you know the secrets of every heart;
in your loving mercy bring to your table
all who are fearful and broken,
all who are wounded and needy,
that our hungers may be satisfied
in the city of your peace;
through Christ who is our peace.
Amen.

Almighty and everlasting God,
increase in us your gift of faith
that, forsaking what lies behind
and reaching out to that which is before,
we may run the way of your commandments
and win the crown of everlasting joy;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
