Reflective Verses 13The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go. 14 You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. 15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. Acts 3:13-15 Reflective Questions What really is sin? What are our sins? What is my sin? Prayer Dear Lord, please open our eyes to see the seriousness of sin, and to be aware of the sins we have committed against you and against those you have entrusted to our care. Please enable us, by the power of your Holy Spirit, to repent, so that our sins may be wiped out and that times of refreshing may come. We ask all these in Jesus' name. Amen.

Songs of Praise Ms Hazel Shen

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 Ms Charmaine Tang
