And for all who travel today with anxiety or fear restore their sense of safety and trust.
May your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard every heart and mind.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

For those who were injured, frightened, or traumatised bring your healing and comfort.
For the emergency services and railway staff who responded grant them strength and calm.
For the families waiting for news surround them with your love and reassurance.

Let’s share a message of love, welcome and peace. methodistchurch.wetransfer.com

If your church can record this in different languages, we’d love to reflect the diversity of our Connexion.

We’re asking churches to film a short clip of their congregation saying:
“All are welcome.”
These clips will be included in the final video.

We’re also producing a music video to accompany the hymn - a visual message of welcome to share online and encourage communities to come together.

In the name of the One who goes before us,
beside us, and sings within us

Christ our companion,
Amen.

Written by Matthew Forsyth, Vice-President of the Methodist Conference 2025–26.

May the Spirit stir our memory,
reminding us who we are
your people, your melody,
each life a note in your unfolding hymn.

Guide us in courage,
hold us in love,
send us with hope.

Dear Lord,
we pray for those awaiting exam results this summer.
May they be able to enjoy their time without worry and know that you are with them regardless of what the results may be.
We pray for peace, and trust that your plan for them will show the way.
Amen.
