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 “Psalm 139”
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 27
3 The next day we landed at Sidon; and Julius, in kindness to Paul, allowed him to go to his friends so they might provide for his needs. 4 From there we put out to sea again and passed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us. 5 When we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at Myra in Lycia. 6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.7 We made slow headway for many days and had difficulty arriving off Cnidus. When the wind did not allow us to hold our course, we sailed to the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone. 8 We moved along the coast with difficulty and came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.
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.
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

閱讀法27。
3第二日,我哋降落喺西頓; 朱利叶斯,喺仁慈嘅保羅,允許佢去佢嘅朋友,所以佢哋可能會滿足佢嘅需要。 4由嗰度,我哋再次出海,並傳遞畀塞浦路斯嘅李,因為風對我哋不利。 5当我哋航行喺西里西亞同潘菲利亚海岸外開闊嘅海面上時,我哋降落喺莱西亚嘅迈拉。 6喺嗰度,百岁老人發現了一艘駛向意大利嘅亞歷山大船,畀我哋登上咗船。 當風唔允許我哋堅持我哋嘅路線,我哋航行到克里特岛嘅李,對面萨尔蒙。 8我哋監困難沿着海岸移動,來到了拉西鎮附近嘅一個叫费尔黑文嘅地方。
我哋嘅祈禱。
