We pray that, by observing Sabbath, instituted as an opportunity for us, to remember the goodness of Your creation, and honour You, as the Creator, who dwells with Your people, So that, the whole creation be lled with peace and holiness, that we may experience a 'new heaven and new earth'. Through Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit one God now and ever. Amen
