the walls come down and people come in

and flood this nation with the Holy Spirit.

LET FAITH ARISE

Touch them with your healing hands.

Comfort them when the pain is too

much.

presence and simply say thank you.

up and clears the tables and chairs in the

Church Halls for the comfort of the

Church Family.

15 Lord we bring before you the home-

less, the starving, the people who really

see that there is no future. Grant

them peace and give each one that

strength to go on and wisdom to know

that with you they can get through it with

a new strength.

16 As the General Assembly starts

today, pray that any decisions made on

Church Policy and Governance would

glorify God in all matters.

17 Lord we pray that we stop the urge of the

runaway tongue and what damage it can

do. Help us to use it wisely by spreading

your word and hope to others.

hearts are ticking along, lovingly

put together so grant us wisdom to go

out to your people and let them hear the

ticking of their hearts again.

affected by the terrible events in the Med-

iterranean Sea. Surround them with your

love and give them courage.

were caught up in the earthquake in Nepal.

Comfort the bereaved, heal the sick and just

surround them with your love.

have travelled to Nepal to help all the families

who have lost loved on and to keep trying to

locate those who are still missing. Bless each

one with courage and wisdom.

round each one as they go about their work.

willingly prepare and serve the food at the

ple who gather in the café for this special

time to praise your Holy name.

11 Father lit us never forget that we are the

luckiest people here. We have homes,

clothes, heat and food but more that that we

are free to worship in safety . No fear of ar-

rest, murdered or the church being set on

fire. We lift all those who are persecuted but

still worship you.

12 Remember the Discipleship group meeting

tonight. Pray that they would be open to the

guiding of the Holy Spirit in decisions that

have to be made.

bles at the foot of the cross, we offer our-

selves for you to do as you will.
