Weekday Evening Prayers
In quietness and in darkness
In peace and in confusion
Jesus Christ wants to make his home with us
And meet his friends
He is the Light of Life
He is the hope for the world
Song “As the deer pants for the water” https://youtu.be/FBppKZ0eJlQ
Affirmation
Tell everyone who is anxious
Be strong and don’t be afraid
Jesus is the source of Life
He brings light to the world
The light shines in darkness
And the darkness can never put it out.
The Lords Prayer in our own language
Reading Jeremiah 32v42-46 Gods people
Intercessions
We pray tonight for all those who are struggling to cope with the dramatic changes taking place, for those who are suddenly bereaved, for medical staff worried about PPE, for people worried how they are going to cope financially or emotionally or caring for loved ones, we pray there will be someone they can turn to at this time to help them. We pray for all who are anxious. Give them your peace and calm in their hearts. Be with us we pray. Have your hand upon us, our homes and our loved ones. Be with us all we pray. In Jesus Name Amen.

Blessing
The cross we shall take it
The joy we shall share it
The gospel we shall live it
The love we shall give it
The light we shall cherish it
The darkness God shall perish it. Amen
