Spirit of God
You are the breath of creation
The wind of change
Speak through our thoughts and dreams tonight
Song “In the beginning”
Forgive me my closed mind
And break down the barricades of my heart
So I can embrace new ways of being
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Reading Acts 27
33 Just before dawn Paul urged them all to eat. “For the last fourteen days,” he said, “you have been in constant suspense and have gone without food—you haven’t eaten anything.34 Now I urge you to take some food. You need it to survive. Not one of you will lose a single hair from his head.” 35 After he said this, he took some bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all. Then he broke it and began to eat. 36 They were all encouraged and ate some food themselves.37 Altogether there were 276 of us on board. 38 When they had eaten as much as they wanted, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.
Prayer
We pray tonight for those in lockdown, for those who have not got the grades they needed for university, for the people of Belarus and all those we know who need our help and prayers who we carry in our hearts tonight.
Spirit of the Living God present with us now enter their bodies, minds and spirits and heal them of all that harms them. Let your angels be beside them at this time and protect them. In Jesus Name we pray.
Closing Responses
In the depth of silence
No words are needed
We are just called to listen
To the movement of the Spirit
And in the midst of confusion
To hear your voice.
Amen.

晚祷2020年8月21号
耶稣嘅灵魂
你系呼吸嘅创造者
变革之风
今晚通过我哋嘅思想同美讲嘢呀！
歌曲《开始》

原谅我封闭嘅心！
打烂我心中嘅阻滞
所以我可以接受新嘅生活方式
我哋用自己嘅语言祷告主
读使徒得传七章
33就离天光嘅时候，阿Paul趱众人食饭。“喺过去嘅十四天度，”，佢话，“你一直悬而未决，冇食嘢，你咩都冇食，而家我劝你食啲嘢”。你要佢嚟生存。佢话这话，就攞饼嚟，喺众人面前多谢神。跟住佢打烂佢开始食。佢哋都受到鼓励，自己食咗啲嘢。37船上公司有我哋276人。38当佢哋想食几多就食几多，佢哋就将谷物入海哩，令船变轻咗。
祈祷
我地今晚为啲畀禁闭嘅人祈祷，为啲冇攞到大学所使成绩嘅人祈祷，为白俄罗斯人民同所有我哋识嘅要我哋帮助嘅人祈祷，我地今晚，将佢哋铭记喺心。
唔关我哋同在嘅永生神嘅灵，而家进入佢哋嘅身体、思想同灵入面，医治一切伤害佢哋嘅人。此时畀你天使喺佢哋身边，保护佢哋。以耶稣嘅名义祈祷。
搞掂回应
喺寂静嘅深处
唔需要言语
我哋只系被叫去听
灵魂嘅运动
喺乱晒龙中
听到你把声。
阿门。
