PRAYER
Loving God, why we are here
At SELF, Why do we struggle
With those issues, feeling hurt,
Pain and dissatisfied with
The way the world is?
Because we have a kind of
Human within us. The thing
That started our hearts beating
And keep them going. A deeply
Felt compassion for the humanity
For the mother Earth, For the
Precious concept which is Life.
Mother God, from whose womb
the universe has sprang calm our hearts,
steady our minds
And give us clarity of minds
That we may respond to this calling
In a humble hopeful way
Give each of us some revelation
And accept from us infinite
And continuos Thanks
for the journeys of our lives,
our experiences, trails and opportunities.
In the name of Jesus Christ. AMEN
Hosea 2: 2 & CH 3, Mt. 19:1-12
Luke 8:40-56
Closing Prayer
We know of Oppression and torture
We know of extortion, violence,
Destitute and diseases
We have seen the young man mutilated
The tom girl trembling by the mill stream
And meanwhile we have gone on living
Living and partly living.....
So let us throw stones into
A deadly calm lake
From all ages of the lake
No matter how small is the stone
No matter how small the wave
The lake is the world
The lake is the people's mind
The lake is the human bondage
The lake is the chain of human oppression
When all of standing together on all sides
Keep throwing stones
The waves will never cease
Till the whole lake starts
Bubbling with life.
May living God lead us to such action faith!

The Servant
Song
Brother Sister let me serve you.,
Let me be as Christ to you,
Pray that I may have the grace to
Let you be my servant too
We are pilgrims on a journey
We Are travellers on the road
We are here to help each other
Walk a mile and bear the load
I will hold the Christ -light for you
In the night time of your fear
I will hold my hand out to you
Speak the peace you long to hear
I will weep when you are weeping,
When you laugh I will laugh with you
I will share your joy and sorrow
Till we've seen the journey through
When we sing to God in heaven
We shall find such harmony
Born of all we've known together
Of Christ's love and agony

Give thanks
Lord I left your name on high
Lord we left your name on high
Lord we love to sing your praises
We're so glad you're in our life
We're so glad you came to save us
You came from heaven
To earth to show the way
From the earth
To the cross our debts to pay
From the cross to the grave,
From the grave to the sky
Lord we left your name on high.
Be still
Be still and I know that
I am God (x3)
