Wednesday 3rd June

Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it will labour in vain.

Psalm 127:1

Lord build your church,

Build your church in our town,

Build your church in our nation,

Build your church in the world.

Thank you for this time of opportunity; where change would have taken

years of suggestions, proposals and committee meetings,

your Church suddenly became new - accessible at the click of a button!

As your Church, show us how to respond to those who are seeking

a Father, a deliverer, a comforter and a friend.

We pray especially for those starting Alpha tonight at our church

as well as those around the country; may they find your as saviour.

Lord, show them how you identify with them in their pain as well as their joy.

Raise up the confidence and the voice of your church to be the

carrier of good news and your loving arms

in every small village, market town and big city.

Use us, your followers, to follow your lead and not rush in

with our own projects and strategies.

Build the house Lord Jesus,

Build YOUR house.

Build your home and usher in the home-less.

We look to you,

Amen.
