Call to Worship
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the LORD tell their story— those He redeemed from the hand of the foe, those He gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south.
Refer: Psalm 107:1-3
Thanksgiving
Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, thanking You for the gift of unity among Your people. We praise You for the goodness and pleasure found in living together in love and peace. Lord, we thank You for the family, church community, and friends who stand with us in faith. Help us to cherish one another, support each other through challenges, and maintain the bond of peace that You have established.
Scripture Reading
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
1 Behold, how good and pleasant it is
when brothers dwell in unity!
2 It is like the precious oil on the head,
running down on the beard,
on the beard of Aaron,
running down on the collar of his robes!
3 It is like the dew of Hermon,
which falls on the mountains of Zion!
For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,
life forevermore.
Refer: Psalm 133
Prayer of Intercession
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. (first prayed by St. Francis of Assisi)
Dear LORD, we pray that you purify us from sin and division, renew the passion of our leaders and us as Your believers. Heal the suffering and the sickness within our body. We stand in the gap to ask for a restoration of holiness and oneness, praying that love, truth and grace replace any tension or strife among us. May our gatherings always be marked by harmony, reflecting the unity that honors Your name, in Jesus’ name.
As The Spirit Leads
Please continue in prayer for any personal, church, community, nation, or world needs, concerns, or thanksgivings.
Lord’s Prayer
Let us close by praying the words that Jesus taught.
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come; Your will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Refer: Matthew 6:9–13
Thank you for joining us in prayer. We hope you join us tomorrow.
The LORD bless you and keep you.
The LORD make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you.
The LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
—Numbers 6:24–26
