PRAYER

Opening Prayer

Opening Prayer

Lord God,
We give you thanks, for you are good, and your mercy is endless.
Here we stand, at the start of this holy week,
This week in which your church remembers Jesus’ passion and death, and I am distracted by many things.

Turn my eyes now to the One who comes in your name
The one who opens the gates of righteousness
The one who answers when we call.

May praise him with a pure heart. And may walk in the way of his suffering, and share also in his resurrection.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen

Opening Prayer

MEMORY VERSE

This Week's Memory Verse - Romans 5:8 & 6:23

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us... For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."


I always learn scripture better when I can put music to it. If that sounds like you, too, you can use this music video to help you remember this awesome verse about where to take our worries and fears and the strength we get from our great God.

Hey Man (Romans 5:8 & 6:23)
