The Latest UNITE714 Prayer Sheet
The latest prayer sheet can be viewed below. My thought is that we use it in your daily prayers and then altogether as a church in the Sunday service. The authors suggest we all pray it each morning and/or evening at 7:14 local time. You might want to light a candle and pray in this way, or using other prayers for the world, New Zealand, Auckland, HBC, Whangaparaoa, the Parish, the Church, your neighbours, friends, family, yourself....
