2 Cor 5:14 Saturday, 16 July, 2016 Sanctuary, 5pm Reflective Verse Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5:12 Reflective Question It seems difficult to be God s salt and light in an increasingly disillusioned world. How can we display Jesus in our attitude and actions? How can we stay passionate in our faith and works? How can we revive our inner passion for God in the face of persecution? Prayer God our Father, transform our attitudes and actions, faith and works. Help us to walk, talk and be like Jesus, transformed as His salt and light, freed of disillusionment. Stir us to the way of inner revival that will lead Your church to experience a greater revival. Amen. Order of Worship Season of Pentecost/Holy Communion PREPARATION Please silence your phone and other digital devices Prelude Personal Meditation and Prayer
