PRAISE Call to Worship from Ephesians 1:18-23 [PLEASE STAND]

Leader I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his people,

People and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength

Leader he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,

People far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that can be invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

Leader And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church,

ALL which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. Amen.

Songs of Praise Mr Tan Wee Juan

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)
