Order of service for the 23rd October 2022 "Excuse me, I am lost, can you show me the way?"
Welcome
Opening Prayer
“Who can tell me the way to……?”
Reading John 14: 1 – 6 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.””
