Gracious God, strengthen the small Christian communities in Algeria and Tunisia to be a faithful witness of the crucified and risen Christ, and agents of love to all neighbours. By your Holy Spirit, be present in their midst when they assemble for worship, and in the souls of the lonely ones who seek your face through the face of Jesus, the Christ. Amen

Bishop Patrick Streiff, United Methodist Central and Southern Europe Central Conference

Look upon your servant, O Lord, weak in faith and asking for your strength; cold in heart, but seeking the warmth of your love; assailed by doubt but longing to trust you; abounding in sin, yet begging to be filled with your righteousness; now and forever. Amen

Martin Luther (1483-1546)
