OPEN FROM 2PM-10PM
This is our day to acknowledge God’s presence and dedicate The Waiting Room to God and His purposes. This is our day to welcome His Holy Spirit. We have no idea how this week is going to go or how His Spirit will move, but that’s okay - let’s offer ourselves again as God’s Temple and wait together. Solomons Prayer is a helpful place to start in 2 Chronicles 6:
‘Will God really dwell on earth with humans? The heavens even the highest heavens cannot contain you, how much less this temple I have built…may your eyes be open towards this temple day and night, this place of which you said you would put your name there, may you hear the prayer your servant prays towards this place…’
‘I will pour out my spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions’ - Joel 2:28

OPEN FROM 7AM-10PM
Together let’s focus on what we might need to confess. This is a time to renew our first love for Jesus and remember our big need for more of His Presence.
‘If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us, if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness’ - 1 John 1:8-9
‘Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled’ - Matthew 5:6
If you feel God convicts you and you want to respond, you might like to partake in something symbolically being ‘cleansed’ from your unrighteousness and be freed from that burden. How awesome that we can lay these things at His feet and be washed clean.

OPEN FROM 7AM-10PM
God gave us creativity - let’s use it. Write, draw and paint what he’s saying to us as a church. Please use the postcards only for this so that they can be added to our prayer wall.
Exodus 31: ‘The Lord said to Moses, “see I have chosen Bezalel…and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge, and with all kinds of skills to make artistic designs for work in gold silver and bronze…and to engage in all kinds of crafts…’
Let’s pray today that God will fill us with His Spirit so that we can make something beautiful as our offering to God.

OPEN FROM 7AM-10PM
As a church, are we hungry to see a move of God? Let’s look today at our prayer request wall and use the weekly diary of ministries. Let’s also bring our stories and testimony today of how God has done the miraculous and answered our personal prayers in the past to edify and encourage one another.
‘The Lord is near, do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving present your requests to God, and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.’ - Philippians 4:5b-7, 5:16-18
