APRIL TEAM MEETING
Philippians 2: 6-11
‘He humbled himself, therefore God has highly exalted him.’
Christ Jesus, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Psalm 22
R:/ My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
All who see me deride me;
they curl their lips, they toss their heads:
‘He trusted in the Lord, let him save him;
let him release him, for in him he delights.’
For dogs have surrounded me;
a band of the wicked besets me.
They tear holes in my hands and my feet;
I can count every one of my bones.
They divide my clothing among them,
they cast lots for my robe.
But you, O Lord, do not stay afar off;
my strength, make haste to help me!
I will tell of your name to my kin,
and praise you in the midst of the assembly;
‘You who fear the Lord, give him praise;
all descendants of Jacob, give him glory;
revere him, all you descendants of Israel.’
Concluding prayer
Lord, as we contemplate your passion, death and resurrection may we come to know more fully the depth of your love and have the will to serve others.
Amen
