Warm Welcome Week

A prayer for Warm Welcome Week.

God of goodness and grace,

We thank you for Warm Welcome and all those spaces that open their doors to people in the community.

In the week that includes Blue Monday, what is considered to be the most depressing point in the year,

we pray that the light of your love will radiate not just warmth, but hope,

through all those who offer food, friendship and hospitality.

May Warm Welcome Week be an opportunity to highlight and celebrate all those places where we come together,

find fun things to do and enjoy company and support,

so no-one has to feel isolated and bear their struggles alone.

Amen
