Reflective Verse How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? Psalm 13:1-2 Reflective Question How do you relate to God in your darkest moments? In what way(s) do you involve God in your hurts, disappointments and brokenness? Prayer O Lord, help me to be transparent and vulnerable in Your presence because I really need You in my failings, disappointments and hurts. Amen.

PRAISE Call to Worship from Psalm 22:1-5 [PLEASE STAND] Mr Benjamin BC Tan Leader My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving
me, so far from the words of my groaning? People O my God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, and am not
silent. Leader Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the praise of Israel. People In you our fathers put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them. ALL They cried to you and were saved; in you they trusted and were not
disappointed. Amen.
Songs of Praise Mr Michael Song
TIME OF SIMULTANEOUS CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER Shout for joy to the LORD…give thanks to Him and praise His name. (Psalm 100:1, 4)
Usually the congregation is given a specific time period, with a common theme of petition or supplication. Then all pray aloud at the same time in the power of the Spirit. (United Methodist Book of Worship 1992, pg 446)
PRAYER SILENT & INTERCESSORY PRAYER But the LORD is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him. (Habakkuk 2:20)
TIME FOR WATCHING THE LORD I will stand at my watch; I will look to see what he will say to me. (Habakkuk 2:1)
What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church. (1 Corinthians 14:26)
