Printable Church@Home Service Order for this week

You can choose a sermon from the selection for the week. You may like to watch Youtube Clips of the suggested hymns or access the backing tracks so you can sing along at home.

Printable Bible Readings for the week

If you have an area in your home which you have set up as an altar, bring back the cloth, cross, Bible and candles, and decorate it with flowers. You might like to add symbols of new life or even an Easter garden. Leave your biggest, most beautiful candle unlit – you will be lighting it during the service. It will need to be one an adult can lift up and move.

Additional Prayer Points

  • Heavenly Father, bring healing and comfort for people around the world suffering from Coronavirus COVID-19. Speed their recovery and slow the spread of the virus. We thank you for the efforts of all those involved in treating, testing and caring for patients, and ask your protection over them as they go about their work. Give wisdom to governments around the world as they manage this outbreak. We ask for your peace when we are tempted to panic or become anxious about this disease. Help us to place our trust in you, knowing that our life is safely hidden in you and that you are the Lord of all creation. Enable us to show your love to others, sharing the hope we have in you, praying and caring for the sick and needy as best we can in the name of Christ. Amen.
