A Joyful Assembly

We have come before God’s holy mountain:
the heavenly Jerusalem,
the city of the living God;
with reverence and awe:
for our God is a consuming fire.

New Testament Reading - Godliness with contentment

thumb

6Do you want to be truly rich? You already are if you are happy and good. 7After all, we didn’t bring any money with us when we came into the world, and we can’t carry away a single penny when we die. 8So we should be well satisfied without money if we have enough food and clothing. 9But people who long to be rich soon begin to do all kinds of wrong things to get money, things that hurt them and make them evil-minded and finally send them to hell itself. 10For the love of money is the first step toward all kinds of sin. Some people have even turned away from God because of their love for it, and as a result have pierced themselves with many sorrows.

11O Timothy, you are God’s man. Run from all these evil things, and work instead at what is right and good, learning to trust him and love others and to be patient and gentle.

. . . . .1 Timothy 6:6-11

Intercession

Pray for 5 people on your heart ending with the prayer below.

For you alone, O God, our soul in silence waits,
for truly our hope is found in you.
Lord, have mercy. E te Ariki, kia aroha mai.

Awake, O God, and decree justice;
let the peoples gather around you.
Christ, have mercy. E te Karaiti, kia aroha mai.

Send forth your strength, O Lord;
establish, O God, what you have wrought in us.
Lord, have mercy. E te Ariki, kia aroha mai.
Amen.
