A Celtic Prayer – from St Columba
Alone with none but you, my God,
I journey on my way.
What need I fear, when you are near,
O King of night and day?
More safe am I within your hand
Than if a host did round me stand.

My life I yield to your command,
And bow to your control,
In peaceful calm, for from your arm
No power can snatch my soul.
Could earthly foes ever appal
A soul that heeds the heavenly call?

Amen.

Today we are encouraged to bring to God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – our prayers for help
for others
for ourselves
for His Kingdom purposes
for His royal will to be done in our lives

O LORD
LORD God

Today we pray
for others known to us

And for ourselves at this time
we ask Your help
for…and…

In Jesus’ name
Amen!

Pray for Big Alpha Launch Event

This evening…. 7-9pm

Quiz hosted by Kenny

Nick Blair guest speaker

For all attending

“I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me. “I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one. I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me. Father, I want these whom you have given me to be with me where I am. Then they can see all the glory you gave me because you loved me even before the world began! “O righteous Father, the world doesn’t know you, but I do; and these disciples know you sent me. I have revealed you to them, and I will continue to do so. Then your love for me will be in them, and I will be in them.”
