As One At 10 - Lessons In Failure - 4th October 2020

4/10/2020

Join us to be ‘As One at 10’ on Sunday morning... to continue to keep that time set aside for God in prayer, worship and by opening His word - with the whole church family - but to do so at home with your household, or on your own, or wherever you happen to be

Opening Prayer – God is good all the time, all the time God is good.

Almighty God, to You all hearts are open, all desires known, and from You no secrets are hidden. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of Your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love You, and worthily magnify Your holy name, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Song – ‘Blessed Be Your Name’

Prayers - Pray as you feel led. Perhaps consider:

Things to thank God for this week?
Things to say sorry to God for?
Things to pray for?

Then let’s pray together:

Our Father in heaven, hallowed by Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For the Kingdom, the power and the glory are Yours, now and forever. Amen.

Reading - Exodus 2:5-25

Prayer Response - We pray together:

When we are broken, You make us whole.
When we are consumed with desire, You fill the gap.
When we stumble again and again and again, You forgive.
When our flesh fails, You strengthen our hearts.
God, we want to choose You forever.
