If the Lords disciples keep silent
These very stones would shout aloud
God open our lips
And our mouths shall show forth your praise
Song "Psalm 23"
Prayer for Gods help
Make me a clean heart
And renew a right Spirit within me
Give us again our joy
The Lord’s Prayer in your own language
Reading Acts 2v22-24
22 “Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man [a]attested to you by God with [b]miracles and wonders and [c]signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know— 23 this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of [d]godless men and put Him to death. 24 [e]But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the [f]agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held [g]in its power.
Prayers for people and situations we are concerned about.
Ending with…May they not fail you, nor we fail them Amen
Closing Responses
When we are despairing and see no way ahead
Roll back the stone!
When we are frightened and fear for our life
Roll back the stone!
When we are hungry, thirsty and need shelter
Roll back the stone!
When we need a miracle to change our lives
Roll back the stone!
