OPENING HYMN:
Voices United #264 “Immortal Invisible God Only Wise”
OPENING PRAYER:
Creating God, it has been told to us since the very beginning that you are the Lord of all there is and ever shall be. Thank you that under your wings we find a nurturing motherly protection. Teach us to wait, so that we may learn to fly. Reveal to us your guiding presence, and help us to recognise that we do not soar alone. This we pray, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
SCRIPTURE READING:
Isaiah 40:21-31
SERMON:
“Braiding and Twisting Our Faith”
CLOSING PRAYER:
Everlasting God, who has been with us from the beginning; since the earth was founded. Thank you for your power and presence in our lives. Forever drawing us near; in hope, help and healing. You have counted us among the heavenly hosts; not one of us goes unnoticed.
Forgive us when we focus too much on our daily planner; drowning out your whispers of grace and mercy.
Forgive us, when we think we are superior to others, when we give in to anger, violence and hatred.
We pray for relief for those who are affected by floods and fires…
Grant us courage and understanding to reach out to the dying and the elderly, the broken-hearted and downcast.
Open our hearts and minds to the needs of the oppressed and over-burdened.
Give us a vision to bring the healing gift of Jesus to our hurting and wounded world.
We lift up to you Joanne, Keira, Eric, Alyce, Lloyd...and whomever is on our hearts and minds, may they find healing and strength knowing you are the ultimate care-giver. Comfort the grieving.... the dying...the lonely...
We surrender our fears and worries to you, Lord. Breathing in your healing presence and breathing out love and letting go.
In Jesus’ name who taught us to pray...
THE LORD’S PRAYER:
CLOSING HYMN:
Voices United #422 “God Be with You till We Meet Again”
CLOSING WORDS:
The Lord bless you and keep you:
The Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you:
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
