Encounter: A prayer for friendships past

Music: Vivaldi: 'Autumn' - Concerto No. 3 in F major from The Four Seasons Musicians: Shirley Richards, Suzanne Herzog, Helen Rees, Julian Chang, Jo Garcia Lord, we remember those who have meant a lot to us but from whom we have grown apart. Help us not to resent those who, for whatever reason, appear to have distanced themselves from us. Help us to honour the stand that they take for You, and their desire to seek after You. In Jesus’ name - bless those who were once our close friends and who are still Your beloved ones to this day.
