30/8/2020

You are invited to join us to be ‘As One at 10’ on Sunday morning... to continue to keep that time set aside to 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 - We pray together:

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.

Welcome

We pray together:

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. 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 for ever. Amen
