Faithful God
We come before you
In worship and in wonder
We give you thanks and praise and all the glory
Song “Already done”
Faithful God we thank you for fighting our battles
You said it, we believe it
You spoke it, we receive it
Your kingdom come right here
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Reading Acts 11v19-21
19 Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that broke out when Stephen was killed travelled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, spreading the word only among Jews. 20 Some of them, however, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news about the Lord Jesus. 21 The Lord’s hand was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.
Prayer
We pray tonight for all those we know who need our help and prayers ….and the many others 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. In Jesus Name we pray.
Song “We labour unto Glory”
