PRAYERS OF THANKSGIVING
God of Love, we thank you
for all with which you have blessed us
even to this day:
for the gift of joys in the days of health and strength
and for the gifts of your abiding presence and promise
in the days of pain and grief.
We praise you for home and friends,
And for our baptism and place in your Church
With all who have faithfully lived and died.
Above all else we thank you for Jesus,
Who knew our griefs,
Who died our death and rose for our sake
Through Whom, with Whom, in Whom,
Empowered by the Holy Spirit,
we pray Lord of Love.
Amen.
