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 “Here I am to worship”
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 3v4-7
4 Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” 5 So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.
6 Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” 7 Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. 8 He jumped to his feet and began to walk
Prayers for people and situations we are concerned about including those still without PPE in hospitals and care homes, those unable to be with their dying ones, women in abusive relationships stuck at home with their abuser and those rolling out the necessary testing throughout the country.
Ending with…May they not fail you, nor we fail them Amen
Song “The power of the cross”
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!
