We humbly thank you for this day
And offer our praise to you
Open our hearts and minds
And give us your presence
In our lives today
Song “He will hold you fast”
Prayer for Gods help
Forgive us
We often choose the wrong way
We suffer pain loss and confusion
We are angry and sad
Help us to have compassion for ourselves and others
To create a world that is good and just
And to carry your dream within us
The Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Reading Romans 8v35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
Our Prayers
We pray for people and situations we are concerned about including the ongoing lockdown, those with Covid 19, those going to school, the shooting of black people in the US, the chaotic weather, desperate people crossing the sea in dinghies, continuing deaths from Covid 19, the ongoing unrest in the US, Belarus, arrests in Hong Kong and the ongoing wars in Syria and Yemen, Russian democracy, the rise of fascism, the government, the Rohinga Muslims, Muslims being persecuted in China, protection for key workers and adequate PPE, protection for Black and Asian people, for people on low or no incomes, for those with underlying health conditions and those over 60, care for those who are alone and those suffering with depression, protection for asylum seekers and refugees and ensuring that food is reaching the vulnerable and global warming.
May we not fail you. Amen
Closing Responses
This is the day that God has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
I will not offer to God
Offerings that cost me nothing
I will go in Peace
To love and serve the Lord
And make a difference
Amen

讀羅馬書8v35誰將我們與基督的愛分開?麻煩,艱辛,逼迫,飢荒,赤身露體,危險或利劍? 36經上寫道:“為了您的緣故,我們終日面臨死亡;我們被視為要宰殺的羊。” 37不,在所有這些事情上,我們不僅僅是愛他的征服者。
