In the last few days there have been terrorist attacks in Maiduguri, Ankara, Istanbul, Brussels.
People from all around the world and all traditions stand in solidarity with those places under attack.
Eternal God
hear the cries of your people
as we stand in solidarity
with those under attack.
Protect the innocent,
comfort the needy,
confound the wicked.
Give strength to the rescuers,
determination to peacemakers,
courage to law-enforcers,
strength to the weary.
Amen.
Fr Kelvin, is there a link to a pdf of the order of service so we can all see it?
I’ll try to post a pdf later today. I need to pick it up from the office and then bring it home to change it to pdf format. I also need to correct a couple of mistakes before I forget what they were.
I can’t post everything that was in the people’s hands for copyright reasons, but I’ll see what I can include.
It was something like this, Robert.

In the service sheet, verse 3 of In the Bleak Midwinter has the wrong words.
The words as used by Harold Darke, and as sung as a tenor solo last night, from memory are:
Enough for Him whom Cherubim worship night and day,
A breast full of milk, and a manger full of hay,
Enough for Him, whom angels fall down before,
the ox and ass and camel which adore
OK, I shall remove my anorak now!
