Second Sunday of Lent

Communion Sunday at LK

Morning

Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God

Reading : ROMANS 1 verse 15

Meditation : take time to consider these words on this Sunday.
Eager to preach the Good News!

What words or images stay with you?
Where has God placed you to share His Good News about Jesus?

And then pray in response to Paul’s words
Praying for someone to tell the Good News today!

In Jesus’ Name, Amen


Midday

Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your midday prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen


Evening

Reading : read these words again from ROMANS 1 verse 15
Reflect on the words and images and then Pray in response at the end of your day

O LORD, our God
We bring our evening sacrifice of praise to you
For who you are
As we acknowledge You our Help even this day.
As we name others in need
As we pray for the Church in all corners of our world
To sing and speak of Jesus!
In His saving name, Amen.
