Sunday Focus

16th November 2025

 
Welcome to this weeks Sunday Focus, we pray you will be blessed.

In the Bible Course session we looked at this week, one of the books we looked at was Proverbs. There are many  proverbs that are familiar day to day sayings. Why not have a look and see if you can find any!

Heavenly Lord, you long for the world’s salvation: stir us from apathy, restrain us from excess and revive in us new hope that all creation will one day be healed in Jesus Christ our Lord.

    and he will make your paths straight.

    a haughty spirit before a fall.

    the righteous run to it and are safe.

 

 

Song -  Blessed Be The Name of The Lord

 

Almighty God, our heavenly Father, you promised through Your Son Jesus Christ to hear us when we pray in faith.

Everlasting God, open our eyes, that we might see you. Open our ears, that we may hear you. Open our mouths, that we might speak your praise.

Holy God, we pray for your church throughout the world, for sceptics and believers, for clergy high and low. For all those who seek God at home, at work, in the streets, online and in our churches.  We pray for the stillness to listen to the voice of the Spirit and to recognise what you have done for us.

We pray for those who are ill or bereaved or struggling in any way. Please give them your comfort and help.
May they know a sense of your presence.

In Jesus name 
Amen


 

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen. 

 

 

Hymn -  May The Peoples Praise You

 

 

“The Lord bless you
and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace. ”
(Numbers 6:24-26)
