- The UK Blessing
But the church is not simply singing a blessing, each day we're looking to practically be a blessing. Many of the churches included in this song have assisted with supplying over 400,000 meals to the most vulnerable and isolated in our nation since COVID-19 lockdown began. This alongside phone calls to the isolated, pharmacy delivery drops and hot meals to the NHS frontline hospital staff.
We hope that the Canalside Churches are a blessing to many too at this time.

Our buildings may be closed but the church is very much alive!

- A prayer for the current situation
God of love, circle us with your grace and hope.
Protect we pray all those who suffer in mind body and spirit.
Protect and strengthen all those working in our health services,
planning in our local and national governments,
all local businesses and those with financial worries,
and all those who are already isolated or alone.
Fill our parish, our diocese our country and our world
with your spirit of love and compassion.
May the light of life burn brightly in our communities
and may we know the peace that passes all understanding.
Amen
