Sunday, 18 June 2017 Sanctuary 8.30am, 10.30am & 5pm

Reflective Verse When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven. Nehemiah 1:4 Reflective Question What is the difference between complaining and weeping before the Lord? What causes you to weep? Would they be things that God weeps over? Prayer O Father in Heaven, heal my heart and make it clean, open up my eyes to the things unseen, break my heart for what breaks Yours. Help me to live for what is truly important to You. In Jesus name, Amen.

Call to Worship from Psalm 126 (The Message) [PLEASE STAND] Leader It seemed like a dream, too good to be true, when GOD returned Zion’s exiles. People We laughed, we sang, we couldn’t believe our good fortune. Leader We were the talk of the nations—“GOD was wonderful to them!” People GOD was wonderful to us; we are one happy people. Leader And now, GOD, do it again—bring rains to our drought-stricken lives ALL So those who planted their crops in despair will shout hurrahs at the

harvest, So those who went off with heavy hearts will come home laughing, with armloads of blessing. Amen.
