We seek after God's kingdom -
   united together in prayer.
We are participants in God's mission -

Mighty To Save

Ev’ryone needs compassion
Love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Ev’ryone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations

Saviour He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Ev’rything I believe in
Now I surrender

Shine your light and let the whole world
We're singing
For the glory of the risen King
Jesus
(Repeat)

God of the Bible

God of the Bible
God in the Gospel
Hope seen in Jesus
Hope yet to come
You are our center
Daylight or darkness
Freedom or prison
You are our home

    Fresh as the morning sure as the sunrise
    God always faithful you do not change
    Fresh as the morning sure as the sunrise
    God always faithful you do not change

God in our struggles
God in our hunger
Suffering with us
Taking our part
Still You empow’r us
Mothering Spirit
Feeding sustaining
From Your own heart

Those without status

You have made royal
Gifted with rights
Chosen as partners
Midwives of justice
Birthing new systems
Lighting new lights

Hope we must carry
Shining and certain
Through all our turmoil
Terror and loss
Bonding us gladly
One to the other
Till our world changes
Facing the cross

Scripture | Acts 16:13–15 ; 25–34 (NIV)

13 On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate to the river, where we expected to find a place of prayer. We sat down and began to speak to the women who had gathered there.
14 One of those listening was a woman from the city of Thyatira named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.
15 When she and the members of her household were baptized, she invited us to her home. “If you consider me a believer in the Lord,” she said, “come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.

25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
26 Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose. 27 The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. 28 But Paul shouted, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!”
29 The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”
32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house.
33 At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his household were baptized.
34 The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God—he and his whole household.
