Welcome, brothers and sisters in Christ, as we gather for
Praise, Prayer, Word and Worship!
“…the ascension is an affirmation that the Risen One is now bound by neither time nor space….
through the power of the resurrected Christ is revealed as being present at all times and in all places.
That presence is effected by the power of the Holy Spirit, which is nothing less than Christ filling all things. “
Laurence Hull Stookey

CHILDREN’S MESSAGE
Let us welcome the children: “Jesus Loves Me”. “Jesus loves me! This I know. For the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong; they are weak, but he is strong. Yes! Jesus loves me, Yes! Jesus loves me. Yes! Jesus loves me. The Bible tells me so”.
JOYS AND CONCERNS
PRAYER OF INTERCESSION (In unison after prayer)
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever. Amen. (Matthew 6:9-13)
