10 October
Trinity 19
Creator Father, we pray that those attending COP26 will address the pollution and warming of our oceans which have led to melting glaciers, rising sea levels, the depletion of life and the risk of catastrophically changing currents. We pray for those whose homes and livelihoods are most under threat. We recall your promise to Noah that “Never again will there be a flood to destroy the Earth” and ask you to guide delegates successfully to work to this end, so that COP26 may be a turning point towards repairing our shared world. Through our saviour, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

3 October
Trinity 18
Creator Father, we know that humanity has fallen short in caring for the Earth. Ecclesiastes (4:9) speaks of “The value of working in unison, thus creating harmony instead of disorder.” Draw those attending Glasgow to approach the conference in this spirit. The passage goes on to remind us that “Working as one people begins with the efforts of each person.” Inspire us individually and as a church also to do our bit. We pray that in this way, COP26 may be a turning point towards repairing our shared world. Through our saviour, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
