Festival 150 Prayer
God of all time: Alpha and Omega, beginning and end.
We praise and thank you for what has been, what is and what is to be.
In this year of celebration we give you thanks
for those who have gone before us in faith, courage and generosity.
Give us imagination, purpose and grace to step into the future with you, our Creator, Redeemer and Life-giver. Amen.
