You Are Lovely

You Are Lovely

by Lori Chaffer and Don Chaffer

Lord, when You lift your voice
It’s like no other voice I know
Lord, when You lift your hand
All the kingdoms of Earth are laid low

And when you say the word
Every sickness is cured

CHORUS
You are lovely
You are lovely
You are lovely

Lord, when you call my name
Wherever you say, I will go
Lord, when you come again
Every person will know

And when you show Your face
No one will stay the same
because

Lord, when you sing your song
All of creation will know
Lord, when you show your strength
Let Justice and righteousness flow

When we see your holiness
Every tongue will confess

CHORUS
You are Holy
You are Holy
You are Holy

The Holy Hottie

Former stripper Heather Veitch finds a welcome at Sandals Church in California, and turns her life around. She wants to follow in the footsteps of Jesus and reach out to society's outcasts, to her former colleagues who work as lap dancers, porn actors and prostitutes. So she sets up 'JC's Girls', a group of women from the church, who go to lap dancing clubs, pay for private time with the women who work there, and use that time to talk to them about Christianity.

I have just whatched this on tv and was well impresed with thw church for what they are doing. I am also well impressed witht their paster aswell for taking a stand and drawinf a line in the sand and asking all the chruch to back him or give upi and he would leave.

what I say is keep upi the good work and this is were God need the work done.

Lost in Wonder a new online Labyrinth

A new online space invites visitors to join a pilgrimage of discovery, freeing the mind from clutter, calming the spirit and strengthening awareness of and openness to God.
Based on an ancient design, http://www.lostinwonder.org.uk/is an online labyrinth that invites visitors on a spiritual journey of encounter and challenge. A labyrinth is an ancient spiritual resource and a metaphor for the spiritual journey into death and out again into life. Working with David Webster, the Methodist Church’s Website Manager, the Pastoral Care and Spirituality Team have developed it to be available to people across and beyond Methodism.
Lost in Wonder has ten interactive ‘stations’ that can be visited in any order, each with images, a Bible text, a prayer and a guiding voice leading the guest into the theme of that place. Some of the stations reflect on the priorities of the Methodist Church - worship, learning and caring, service and evangelism - while others consider different aspects and expressions of spirituality.
The Revd Michaela Youngson, Methodist Secretary for Pastoral Care and Spirituality said; “A labyrinth is an ancient way to journey deeper into God’s presence and then to travel out again into God’s world. This is a place of change and challenge as well as rest and contemplation. We hope that people will find in it a freedom that helps them to connect with others who want to learn about God’s love”.
One station, exploring the theme of God’s presence and action in the world, gives the visitor the opportunity to draw a picture of their own experience of God’s presence. This is then added to an online gallery so that people can enjoy and be inspired by the artwork of other guests. Those who wish to respond to what they have experienced within the Labyrinth will find suggestions, links and resources at the end of their journey.

Notes

1. Lost in Wonder was inspired by a prayer labyrinth set up by the Newcastle Methodist District in response to Pray Without Ceasing, the Methodist year of continuous prayer.

Prayer Beads

I have just go a new set of prayer beads this week and it is good to have a set back in my hand after a time without a set. I still don’t know what happened to my set which was given to me some years ago. I like the way you can get lost in the prayer and contemplate on things of god.
This is what I am praying at the moment

Trisagion and Jesus Prayer


The Cross

In the Name of God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

The Invitatory

O God make speed to save me (us),
O Lord make haste to help me (us),
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

The Cruciforms

Holy God,
Holy and Mighty,
Holy Immortal One,
Have mercy upon me (us).

The Weeks

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
Have mercy on me, a sinner.
Or, in a group setting:
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy upon us.
*Trisagion means "thrice Holy"

And also this as a evening prayer


An Evening Prayer
The Cross
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

The Invitatory
Open my lips, O Lord,
and my mouth shall proclaim
Your praise.

The Cruciforms
Guide us waking, O Lord,
and guard us sleeping;
that awake we may watch
with Christ, and asleep
we may rest in peace.

The Weeks
Jesus, lamb of God, have mercy on us.
Jesus, bearer of our sins, have mercy on us.
Jesus, redeemer of the world, give us your peace.

Writing New Psalms

Just reading about Writing Psalms and Came across this Blog on wrings Psalms.

I really quite agree with what he has to say,

"It is fun.

People who read psalms tend to be encouraged.

Psalm-writing helps you exercise and build up your faith.

Psalms make great ammunition in spiritual warfare.

Sometimes my spirit burns within me in a zeal to praise God and/or proclaim His Word, and psalm writing is a constructive way to deal with that burning desire."

As someone who is new to writing New Psalms I have found it quite a discipline to do and in a way a new way of expressing my faith and feelings with God.

Good service this week at chruch
