Welcome to Sunday worship in a format no previous generation of Christians has experienced in this land when no physically gathered congregations are meeting. However, in homes around the land, small or larger groups will meet on-line to participate in a shared experience of worship.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Sunday evening there is a National Prayer service at 7pm that churches across the country are welcome to attend on-line. National leaders of different networks of churches are sharingin this event. Please check on the Baptist Union Facebook page https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/157011591021372\/<\/a> for the link to join the service on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we gather on a Sunday morning we do so mindful that we meet in the presence of the Lord Jesus through His Holy Spirit who is here to bless and encourage and equip us for the week to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let us read together in our own contexts aloud the words from Psalm 67: <\/p>\n\n\n\n May God be gracious to us and bless us<\/em> 3 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>May the peoples praise Y<\/em>ou, God;<\/em> 6 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>The land yields its harvest;<\/em> It is good to praise the Lord in song. In future weeks we hope to have a more polished order of service, but I am grateful to Kevin for choosing some songs that you can use to sing God\u2019s praises. Please click the videos to access the songs. Apologies that you may need to click tabs to avoid adverts coming up <\/p>\n\n\n\n
