Collect
Our cross bearer,
Who protects us in times of need,
Guide us and our families to keep our faith strong in you.
Protect us from being drawn into worldly desires.
Allow us to see your work through others.
Give us strength to resist those who put us down,
Through the power of the Holy Spirit and Christ’s love.
Amen.

We are a group of young people who love being together and learning about God. We meet once a week, in a Church building, for fun and teaching, and to get to get to know who God is. What would we like the wider church to pray for? – More realization of who God is.
