Prayer of Approach (In Unison)
O God, you sent Jesus to spread the good news of your saving love
to the ends of the earth. Give us receptive hearts to the light which
Christ sheds upon our lives so that we may follow his path and in
turn lead others to the one who taught us to pray,
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come,
your will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us this day our daily
bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil for the
kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and forever.
Amen.

Movie Night: January 25
District 9: (2009) In 1982, a massive star ship bearing a bedraggled
alien population, nicknamed “The Prawns”, appeared over
Johannesburg, South Africa. Twenty-eight years later, the initial
welcome by the human population has faded. The refugee camp
where the aliens were located has deteriorated into a militarized
ghetto called District 9, where they are confined and exploited in
squalor. In 2010, the munitions corporation, Multi-National United, is
contracted to forcibly evict the population with operative Wikus van
der Merwe in charge. In this operation, Wikus is exposed to a strange
alien chemical and must rely on the help of his only two new ‘Prawn’
friends. Written by Kenneth Chisholm. This is a Sci-Fi Thiller; Rated
‘R’ for bloody violence and pervasive language; Runtime: 112
