What is your response to God’s Word today?

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

As your Sunday closes you are invited to pause and pray with others in our Church Family as we step into a new week
You may want to revisit the Daily Devotions for today from PSALM 111
You are encouraged to
P ause in God’s presence
R ejoice in the blessings of this day He has given
A sk for His help – for yourself and for another
Y ield to His Kingdom will for tomorrow – say yes!
(from the Northumbrian Community Midday Prayers)
I look to the mountains;
where will my help come from?
My help will come from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 121 verses 1 and 2
As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture – Thy Kingdom Come.
This prayer continues around the world as we pray for 5 people we know to meet with Jesus!
Each Sunday at Midday we will re-visit one of the 11 daily themes.
This week it is PENTECOST – as we pause to offer our prayers – asking for God’s fresh outpouring of His Holy Spirit – in our lives – in our church – in our nation – in this world – so that Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven!
Spirit of the Living God
Fall afresh on me
Fall afresh on us
Spirit of the Living God
Break me, break us
Melt me, melt us
Mould me, mould us
Fill me, fill us
Use me, use us
Even today!
