For morning Light
I humbly thank you
And offer my praise to you
Open my heart and my mind
And give me your presence
In my life today
Song “Holy, Holy, Holy”
Prayer for Gods help
Loving God
Come into my confused and troubled life
And send your Spirit
To work in me
To realign me
So that I may know
You in my life
Your joy, your peace, your Shalom
The Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Reading Acts 26
28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?”
29 Paul replied, “Short time or long—I pray to God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains.”
30 The king rose, and with him the governor and Bernice and those sitting with them. 31 After they left the room, they began saying to one another, “This man is not doing anything that deserves death or imprisonment.”
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
Our Prayers
We pray for people and situations we are concerned about including the students and the exam chaos, desperate people crossing the sea in dinghies, continuing deaths from Covid 19, the ongoing unrest in Belarus, Hong Kong and Syria, the rise of fascism, the government, the Rohinga Muslims, Muslims being persecuted in China, protection for key workers and adequate PPE, protection for Black and Asian people, for people on low or no incomes, for those with underlying health conditions and those over 60, care for those who are alone and those suffering with depression, protection for asylum seekers and refugees and ensuring that food is reaching the vulnerable and global warming.
Ending with…May we not fail you. Amen
Closing Responses
This is the day that God has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
I will not offer to God
Offerings that cost me nothing
I will go in Peace
To love and serve the Lord
Amen

閱讀使徒行傳26
28亞基帕對保羅說:“你認為你能在這麼短的時間內說服我做基督徒嗎?”
29保羅回答說:“短時間還是長時間-我向上帝祈禱,除了這些鎖鏈之外,不僅您,而且今天所有在聽我的人都可以成為我。”
30國王起來了,省長,伯尼斯(Bernice)以及與他們同坐的人們都與他同行。 31他們離開房間後,開始互相說:“這個人沒有做任何值得死或監禁的事情。”
32阿格里帕(Agrippa)對費斯托斯(Festus)說:“如果他不向凱撒上訴,他可能會被釋放。”
