PRAYER
God of Mission, who alone brings growth to your Church,
send your Holy Spirit to give,
vision to our planning,
wisdom to our actions,
joy to our worship
and power to our witness.
Help our church to grow in numbers,
in spiritual commitment to you,
and in service to our local community,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Matthew 4: 1-11
HYMN When we are tested and wrestle alone
- When we are tested and wrestle alone
Famished for bread when the world offers stone,
Nourish us, God, by your word and your way,
Food that sustains us by night and by day.
- When ins the desert we cry for relief,
Pleading for paths marked by certain belief
Lift us to love you beyond sign and test,
Trusting your presence, our only true rest.
- When we are tempted to barter our souls,
Trading the truth for the power to control,
Teach us to worship and praise only you,
Seeking your will in the work that we do.
- When we have struggled and searched through the night
Sorting and sifting the wrong from the right,
Saviour, surround us with circles of care
Angels of healing, of hope, and of prayer.
