Prayer for those receiving exam results

As you receive your exam results, may you feel the love of God surrounding you.

You are a wonderful creation of God, made of love, light and hope,

May you feel the love of God surrounding you.

God is with you, whether you are celebrating or are disappointed,

May you feel the love of God surrounding you.

We thank God for your uniqueness; for your individual gifts and skills,

May you feel the love of God surrounding you.

As you take your next steps in life,

May you feel the love of God surrounding you.

God’s love will surround you wherever you go – may you also make that love known to others.

Amen

The Chaplaincy Chain Podcast Launch

The Chaplaincy Chain Podcast is a collaborative project hosted by the Free Churches Group and supported by The Methodist Church. The podcast aims to open up conversations about the joys and challenges of chaplaincy by exploring its depths and breadths. Working with partners in a variety of contexts, we hope to bring a range of perspectives and experiences into the conversation.

During each episode we’ll notice what emerges in the conversation and use this to decide the next link, continuing The Chaplaincy Chain Podcast!
