Reflective Verse About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. Acts 16:25-26b Reflective Question What posture do you adopt in times of challenge and crisis? To what extent do you trust in the sovereignty of God for your situation? Prayer Lord, in my weakness, sustain me with your power, that I may praise and glorify you amidst the storms of life. Amen.

Call to Worship from Ephesians 1:18-23 [PLEASE STAND] Ms Iris Sin Leader I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may
know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his people,
People and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength
Leader he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,
People far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that can be invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.
Leader And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church,
ALL which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. Amen.
