Welcome Introduction

 

 

Opening Hymn - Lord of All Hopefulness- CP # 506

 

1. Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy,
Whose trust, ever child-like, no cares can destroy,
Be there at our waking, and give us, we pray,
Your bliss in our hearts, Lord, at the break of the day.

3. Lord of all kindliness, Lord of all grace,
Your hands swift to welcome, your arms to embrace,
Be there at our homing, and give us, we pray,
Your love in our hearts, Lord, at the eve of the day.

4. Lord of all gentleness, Lord of all calm,
Whose voice is contentment, whose presence is balm,
Be there at our sleeping, and give us, we pray,
Your peace in our hearts, Lord, at the end of the day.

 

The Grace

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.  And also with you.

 

Kyrie Confession (from Common Worship)

 

You raise the dead to life in the Spirit:

Lord, have mercy. 

Lord, have mercy.

 

You bring pardon and peace to the broken in heart:

Christ, have mercy.

Christ, have mercy.

 

You make one by your Spirit the torn and divided:

Lord, have mercy.

Lord, have mercy.

 

A moment of silence for personal confession.

 

Absolution

 

May the God of love and power

Forgive you and free you from your sins,

Heal and strengthen you by the Spirit,

And raise you to new life in Christ our Lord.  Amen.

 

Collect Prayer

 

God, rich in mercy, whose light reveals the truth of things, the judgement we bring on ourselves: we thank you that you sent your Son to save and not condemn; in his self-giving love may life abundant reign; through Jesus Christ, who was lifted up for us.  Amen.

Prayers of the People

 

Lord’s Prayer

 

Our Father in heaven,

Hallowed be your name,

Your kingdom come,

Your will be done,

On earth as in heaven.

Give us today 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.

 

Benediction

 

God sends us forth with the immeasurable gift of faith.

We will live in the joy of our salvation.

God sends us forth to walk in the light of holy love.

We will walk in the light of Christ.

God sends us forth in spirit and in truth.

We will journey in the Spirit’s tender mercies.

God with the blessings of God.

Closing Hymn - When I Survey the Wondrous Cross- CP #386

1 When I survey the wondrous cross

on which the Prince of glory died,

my richest gain I count but loss,

and pour contempt on all my pride.

 

2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast

save in the death of Christ, my God!

All the vain things that charm me most,

I sacrifice them through his blood.

 

4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,

that were a present far too small.

Love so amazing, so divine,

demands my soul, my life, my all.
