Worship God each day and put your prayers in action.
Share the news of Christ and start a chain reaction. Make disciples!

GOD HEARS US

them peace.
With comfort and strength
that's always there. God has promised all loving care!

is always near.
With wisdom that's greater

forgive.
With kindness and mercy
that never ends. Let's be thankful God is our friend!

GRACIOUS GOD, YOU LOVE YOUR CHILDREN
- Gracious God, you love your children and listen
as we pray.
When we falter
you forgive us and direct us in your ways.
- Lai nak tava valstiba; so we pray your kingdom
come;
For in love you call
and keep us, may your will on earth be done.
" Lai nak tava valstiba" is pronounced lie

Name!
Give us this day our
daily bread, Hallowed be Thy Name!
- And forgive us all our debts, Hallowed be Thy
Name!
Just as we forgive
our debtors, Hallowed be Thy Name!

Name!
But deliver us from
evil, Hallowed be Thy Name!

glory, Hallowed be Thy Name!
