The Coastguard Prayer

Going back to the official opening, we invited Rev. John Wood from St Mary's Church to bless the new station.

Now there is a Coastguard Prayer, sadly on the day we had mislaid it but Rev Wood filled in the gaps!

So Father, we pray for all those who staff our Coastguardservice, and man our Naval, Merchant and Fishing Fleets; allthose who work in our ports, all lifeboatmen, and for thewhole great family who go down to the sea. Keep themsafe from danger, teach them to know You through thewonders of the deep, and help them to do their duty withkindness, loyalty and faith. Through Jesus Christ our Lord.Amen
Go forth into the world in peace; be of good courage;hold fast that which is good; render to no one evil forevil; strengthen the faint hearted; support the weak; helpthe afflicted; honour all people; love and serve the Lord,rejoicing in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Blessing
The blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son and theHoly Spirit, be upon you and remain with you always.
Amen
