Let s worship God
A prayer from Lillian
Heavenly Father,
We thank You
for bringing us together to share this time of fellowship. We come here as a sign of our faith and of the trust that we place in You.
We try to follow the example of Your Son and to live as He lived while here on earth, but,
Father, we know that we sometimes fail and fail because we do not always listen to You.
We do not always follow the path that You have for us.
Help us to see your path for each of us.
Surround us with Your loving care
and may those who can't be with us today know that they are in our thoughts and prayers.
Help us, by our actions and words, to show others what it means to be one of Your children.
Amen

Bible reading plan
oHere's a simple bible reading plan for the next few weeks taken from Janie Stuart's favourite Bible commentator-Dale Bruner. He calls it making a home with Jesus. (John 15). His suggestion is that we read a a book a month, reading a chapter a day and think about what we have read and what is happening in our lives. Since some books are have fewer chapters than days in the month, then you either get to have a few days holiday or spend time chewing over passages that caught your attention in that particular book.
His scheme for the next few months would be:
March: Luke 1-24
April: John 1-21
May: Acts 1-28
June: Romans: 1-16
We are part way through the gospel of Luke in the church so I would suggest the following:
March 22 to April 12 Luke 10 -24
April 13 to May 3: John 1-21
May: Acts 1-28 which would gets us back onto Dale's plan but let us read and reflect on the Easter story at Easter.
