WelCom July 2020:
A prayer for Sea Sunday and for Seafarers
In this period of great hardship for seafarers with shore leave
not possible through pandemic please be with seafarers on all their voyages.
Cheer them and keep them safe from all dangers.
Let nothing afloat or on shore cut them off from you.
May they please you in everything they do.
Bless all on board their ship, whatever their responsibility
and bring them peace that only you can give.
Enable everyone to do their duty.
Help them to be good shipmates
and bring them back again safely to their homes
and to those who love them and long for their return,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
