1. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:14

3. Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart. Jeremiah 1:5

5. The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life. Job 33:4

Prayers and Intercessions
Prayer for Today
O God, the protector of all who trust in You, without Whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy, increase and multiply upon us Your mercy, that with You as our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Prayer for our Church Family
Grant us the confidence, Lord, to step out in faith and become the people we are meant to be, unapologetic in our love for You, wanting to be change-makers and bringers of hope, love and grace into an unbelieving world who cannot see that all it seeks is found in You. Guide us when the way is uncertain, that all might meet one glorious day at this journey’s end. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
For those who wish to pray with someone, a prayer team is available after the Service in the left-hand corner of the Sanctuary. The Prayer Team scheduled for today is: Susan & Christopher
