3rd May

[ComRes survey, released today, said 25% of people have watched or listened to a church service during the crisis and 53% have prayed.]

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty!

My soul yearns, even faints,

for the courts of the Lord;

my heart and my flesh cry out

for the living God. Psalm 84:1-2

Lord Jesus,

It’s Sunday!

Our day to gather together to worship and adore you:

to hear your word, pray with and for each other,

to meet our friends and make new ones.

Please give us serenity as we wait to be physically present again,

thanking you that ‘the church has left the building’

and we can worship in our homes via technology.

Just as in Acts, your scattered followers spread the gospel

everywhere they went;

may we, your Covid-scattered church, spread the gospel

on the phones and laptops of all who are looking for life -

REAL LIFE.

Amen.
