These very stones would shout aloud
God open our lips
And our mouths shall show forth your praise
Song “Come Holy Ghost”

Prayer for Gods help
Make me a clean heart
And renew a right Spirit within me
Give us again our joy
The Lord’s Prayer in your own language
Reading Acts 4v36-37
36 Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “son of encouragement”), 37 sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles’ feet.
Intercessions
We pray for people and situations we are concerned about including key workers, the ongoing lack of PPE in hospitals and care homes and everywhere, and protection for BME people, care for those who are alone and those suffering with depression and ensuring food is reaching the vulnerable.
Ending with…May they not fail you, nor we fail them Amen
Song “My Jesus, my saviour”
Closing Responses
When we are despairing and see no way ahead
Roll back the stone!
When we are frightened and fear for our life
Roll back the stone!
When we are hungry, thirsty and need shelter
Roll back the stone!
When we need a miracle to change our lives
Roll back the stone!
