My apologies. We have been revamping the four year Gospel lectionary.

Torah: Genesis 49:29-50:26
Prophet: Jeremiah 45:1-46:28
Writing: Proverbs 9:1-18
Psalm: 119:73-80
Epistle: Hebrews 5:1-14
Gospel: Mark 4:35-41
Collect: Gracious Father, you have shown us that the path of life leads unto the fullness of your eternal kingdom and that the path of death leads unto eternal damnation. Send your Spirit to dispel our confusion so that we may daily choose the way of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Colour: green

16 June Spirit of God, too often our love has been stymied by our fears.
Give us hearts and minds of faith, so that we might see beyond our fears and carry your perfect love wherever you send us. This we ask through Yeshua haMoshiach who lives and reigns with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting. Amen.

17 June: Dear Jesus, we thank you for supplying all our needs each day. Forgive
us when we want more than we really need. Move our hearts to share our
abundance with those less fortunate. This we ask through Yeshua haMoshiach who lives and reigns with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting. Amen.

18 June: Father, you raised up Bernard Mizeki to proclaim your word in Africa. Grant that all who proclaim the Gospel would share in his faith and perseverance, even unto death, .Yeshua, we long for your healing words and your touch of peace.
Be with those who are in want and pain and remind us of our call to be your comforting presence in our world. In your name we pray. Amen. (red)

19 June: Awesome God, you have created the universe and all that is in it, yet you chose to be revealed through a lowly birth and an innocent death. How unfathomable your power and love are, O God! We praise you that, in all your glory, you have also been intimate in relationship with us. O God, we confess that we do not spend enough time in silence listening for your still, small voice. Bless us with patience and serenity to hear you calling, and then with eagerness to do your will. This we ask through our Lord and Saviour Yeshua haMoshiach, who lives and reins with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting. Amen.
