As we start worship,

let us remember the words of Jesus when he said

“if you bring your gift to the altar

and then remember that your sister or brother

has a grudge against you,

leave your gift there at the altar.

Go to be reconciled to them,

and then come and offer your gift”.

Let us take a short period of silence

to reflect on those with whom we need to be reconciled

and what action we can take to make this happen.
