Sunday 4 September 2016 Upper Room 8.30am

Reflective Verses When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Psalm 8:3-4 Reflective Question How can I set aside time to intentionally reflect upon the glory and wonder of God in this world, so that I can respond in daily worship? Prayer Dear Heavenly Father, grant me wisdom and courage to responsibly care for this earth and all that you have created, especially the people you have placed around me at home, school, work and in church. Amen.

Songs of Praise Mr Samuel Lay

TIME OF SIMULTANEOUS CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER Shout for joy to the LORD…give thanks to Him and praise His name. (Psalm 100:1, 4)

Usually the congregation is given a specific time period, with a common theme of petition or supplication. Then all pray aloud at the same time in the power of the Spirit. (United Methodist Book of Worship 1992, pg 446)

PRAYER SILENT & INTERCESSORY PRAYER But the LORD is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him. (Habakkuk 2:20)

TIME FOR WATCHING THE LORD I will stand at my watch; I will look to see what he will say to me. (Habakkuk 2:1)

What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church. (1 Corinthians 14:26) Pastoral Prayer Mr Alan Tay
