Prayer O Lord, grant that there be nothing in my soul but your pure love alone. Let your love possess me, and be my joy, my treasure and my crown. May my every act, word and thought, be love! Amen.

PRAISE Call to Worship from Psalm 103:8-12, 20-22 [PLEASE STAND] Leader Mrs Hui Mei Ling 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 Mr Edward Heng 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 The Lord s Prayer Greetings and Church Concerns 2
