Prayer:
Almighty God…ever-present…Father of all
Your watchful care reaches from end to end
And orders all things in such power
That even the tensions and tragedies of life
Cannot frustrate your loving plan for us
Bless this Brewing House and those who inhabit its environment
May it provide a place of comfort and communion to all who enter
Bless the Doorway of this place.
May it be a threshold to hospitality and good fellowship
May all who enter here do in safety and goodwill
May your Holy Presence reside within these walls
So that it may be filled with your grace
And enjoyed by those who seek its harbor
Bless the Common Room of this Public House
May it be a gathering place
Where acquaintances become friends
And friends grow ever closer
In their affection and respect
For one another
May your goodness fill the hearts
Of those who are her patrons
And those you have called to provide her care
Bless, O Lord, this Creature Beer,
Which thou hast designed to produce from the fat of grain;
That it may be a salutary remedy to the human race,
And grant through the invocation of thy holy name
That whoever shall drink it
May gain health in body and peace in the soul
We ask these blessings in your name
Father…who is for us
Son…who is with us
Holy Spirit…who is within us
Amen
