As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture – Thy Kingdom Come.
This prayer continues around the world!
Each Sunday at Midday we will re-visit one of the 11 daily themes….and this time we revisit the youth videos.
This week it is CELEBRATE – as we are encouraged to pause and bring our songs and prayers of celebration at this time of the year!
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : JOHN 1 verses 35-42
Meditation : as we pause with God…take time and consider these words this particular Sunday morning.
What do they mean for you today?
What is God teaching/reminding you about Himself?
And then pray in response
God of amazing grace
We bow before you
We believe in you
We trust in you
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer
O LORD our God
At the close of this year
We pause with you
And remember who you are

We yield
To your Kingdom will
On earth
As it is in heaven
In Jesus’ name
Amen and Amen.
