During the Trans and Non-binary event this weekend, participant Lewis wrote this beautiful prayer which he read for us during our last worship service together:

A Prayer for Trans Joy

Loving Creator, Holy One, we celebrate your Love and the joy that this brings.
We are beautiful, made in Your marvellous image.
Brothers, sisters and siblings—all our chosen family, a family made by You.
A place to share love and comfort, to laugh and to cry out.
A place to celebrate our joy and a place to mourn as well.
Safety is in Your unchangeable Love, more and deeper than we can know.
Acceptance is a glorious place where hatred falls away, replaced by wholeness.

Risen One, You bring us the joy of new life—renewed and remade.
This is our trans joy in You.
Thank You, for Your boundless Love.
Thank You, for our trans siblings.

We live in the name of the Creating One, the Life-giver and the breath of Spirit.
Amen.
