Communion Sunday

Morning

Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit, on this Sunday

Reading : 1 Corinthians 12 verses 12-31

Meditation : take time to consider these words as your Pentecost Sunday starts.   What is God saying to you here – today?

Pray in response – with thanksgiving – to this God

LORD God,
Thank You for….so much!
Help me to….trust You more for all You are doing!
Hear my prayer of gratitude this morning
In Jesus’ name I ask.
Amen.

O God, hear our prayers and show Your Kingdom power among us!

Evening

Reading : read these particular verses again

Reflect on the truths beyond the words and then Pray with thanks to our God …

O Father, Son and Holy Spirit, hear our prayers
At the end of this special day
As tomorrow appears on the horizon
Amen and Amen we say together as one body.

#Silence

As part of the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture, today’s prayer theme is #Silence

As this day starts, we are encouraged to find a few moments of silence and take time out with God – time to be still in His Presence – time to slow down – time to be quiet and silent and hear His still, small voice…..

As we do so ….. may God meet with us and bring His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven…..even to our lives.
