Almighty, today we the children of your creation gather in humility and wonder at your hand in creation and with us in our journey of life and faith. We lift our prayers of thanksgiving for blessings seen and unseen.

Creator God, we the children of your creation lift our prayer for those whose voices have been silenced, for those lost to the struggles of change and control, for the peoples suppressed for just existing. We pray to you and lift up to you our relatives in the Indigenous circles across the land: the many caught up in the Sixties Scoop; the survivors—or conquerors, you could also call them, because they were undefeated—of the Indian residential schools, industrial schools and day schools. We pray for those who keep going, despite the legacy of the processes of assimilation and the resultant effects. We pray for those searching for lost family and identity, the wounded, rejected and broken.
Feather (prayer): Creator God, we the children of your creation stand humbled as your grace is revealed before us, in the change of seasons and the promise in your Word given. Forgive us as we have failed you and Creation by losing sight of you and straying from the good road. Grant us courage to meet this day with open hearts that we can speak truthfully and go forward with bravery, knowing that your guiding hand and strength are with us. Bless us that we might be a blessing to others. In Jesus we pray. Amen.
Creator God, we, the children of creation, lift our prayers of thanksgiving and praise as we take our beginning steps in this new Easter and the continuance of the season of spring. Humble our hearts and strengthen our spirits as we seek your face in the change of the world around us.

Open our eyes that we might see your light and peace, that we together, walking in truth and faith, might be drawn as one to new life and hope. May your word speak to our witness and ministry as we remember our beginning in you. This we pray in Christ, Amen.
