Reflective Verses For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 1 Cor 2:11-12 Reflective Question In what ways has God’s Holy Spirit who is within you, revealed God’s thoughts and heart to you?

PRAISE Call to Worship from Psalm 103:8-22 [PLEASE STAND] Mr Tay Kim Hock Leader The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. People He will not always accuse, nor will he harbour his anger forever; Leader he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our

iniquities. People For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for

those who fear him; Leader as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions

from us. ALL Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding,

who obey his word. Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will. Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the LORD, O my soul. Amen.

Songs of Praise Ms Karen Wong

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)
