Any suggestions, Flist?

I'm in the process of producing a simple word doc for our monthly Family Praise service and want to include a short prayer to tie in with Black Lives Matter.  I could write the prayer myself, but would prefer, if possible, to use something from a church/organisation which is more directly involved than me since I'm white and English, in a predominantly white congregation - we do have a couple of BAME families.

The people who come to Family Praise are not regular church goers and on the whole only come to our monthly service, and then not every month, so it needs to be simple in construction.  We're an Anglican church, but have a very simplified service.

The theme, should you be interested, is I am the Good Shepherd, which speaks of the hired hand who runs away at the first sign of trouble, whereas Jesus is the Good Shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep.  The connection between hired hands and the leaders of certain countries is hard to ignore.

All suggestions gratefully received.
