A Call to Sunday Evening Prayer with Others

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 MATTHEW 1 verses 22 and 23

You are encouraged to follow the pattern of P-R-A-Y which we have found to be a blessing from Lectio365/24-7 Prayer

P ause in God’s presence – acknowledge He is with you where you are

R ejoice in the blessings of this day He has given

A sk for His help – for yourself and for a situation/person known to you at this time

Y ield to His Kingdom will for tomorrow – say yes!

Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer

We rejoice in your love, O God!

We rejoice in your care, O Father God!

Evening
Reading : read these two verses again from MATTHEW 1
Reflect on the words and then Pray in response at the end of your day

O LORD, our God Immanuel,
We bring our evening sacrifice of praise to you
For who you are

As we name others in need
As we pray for the Church in all corners of our world
To sing and speak of this Jesus.
In His saving name, Amen.
