A Prayer for the Presence of Christ
Lord Jesus, stay with us, for evening is at hand and the day is past; be our companion in the way, kindle our hearts, and awaken hope, that we may know thee as thou art revealed in Scripture and the breaking of bread. Grant this for the sake of thy love. Amen.

Hey, if we are a minature Body of Christ we should have a communion service some time.
This is a wonderful prayer, and the BCP is full of such liturgical goodness. I also like this prayer to the Holy Spirit that's used at the beginning of all Orthodox prayer services:
O Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, who art in all places and fillest all things, treasury of good gifts and giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from every stain, and save our souls, O Gracious Lord.
