Song: Collect for Purity

O Lord...to You our hearts are open
To You our thoughts are known
From You no secret's hidden

Purif - y my heart
Purif - y my heart
That I may bring glory
That I may bring glory
That I may bring glory to You

The Lord almighty grant us a quiet night and a perfect end.
Amen.
Our help is in the name of the Lord
who made heaven and earth.

Song: Confession

Lord, we confess that we have sinned
Against you and each other
In thought and in word and deed we’ve failed,
And not loved as we should
Have mercy on us,
And forgive us our sin,
That we may delight in your will and walk in your ways To the glory of Christ, your Son, our Lord
A - men

O God, make speed to save us.
O Lord, make haste to help us.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning 
is now and shall be for ever. Amen.

Canticle

Our hope is not in vain,
because God’s love has been poured into our hearts. Alleluia.

1 God reckons as righteous those who believe,
who believe in him who raised Jesus from the dead; 

2 For Christ was handed over to death for our sins,
and raised to life for our justification.

3 Since we are justified by faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 

4 Through Christ we have gained access
to the grace in which we stand,
and rejoice in our hope of the glory of God.

5 We even exult in our sufferings,
for suffering produces endurance, 

6 And endurance brings hope,
and our hope is not in vain,

7 Because God’s love has been poured into our hearts,
through the Holy Spirit, given to us. 

8 God proves his love for us:
while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

9 Since we have been justified by his death,
how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath.

10 Therefore, we exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
in whom we have now received our reconciliation.

– Romans 4.24, 25; 5.1-5, 8, 9, 11

Our hope is not in vain,
because God’s love has been poured into our hearts. Alleluia.

A reading From Mark 3

The Lord is my strength and my song: he has become my salvation.
The Lord is my strength and my song: he has become my salvation.

I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
He has become my salvation.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
The Lord is my strength and my song: he has become my salvation.

Song: Prayer to the Trinity

My hope is the Father, my refuge is the Son
my shelter is the Holy Spirit (x3)

Oh, Holy Trinity (x3)
Glory to You (x2)

Intercession & Thanksgiving

Song: Depart in Peace

Oh God,
as you have promised now let your servants...
depart in peace
depart in peace

For our eyes
have seen the salvation which you have prepared........
for all to see for all to see

A light
to enlighten the world and for your people...
glo-ry...glo-ry

So depart in peace, depart in peace (x2)

In peace we will lie down and sleep;
for you alone, Lord, make us dwell in safety.
Abide with us, Lord Jesus,
for the night is at hand and the day is now past.
As the night watch looks for the morning,
so do we look for you, O Christ.

May the risen Lord Jesus bless us.
May he watch over us and renew us
as he renews the whole of creation.
May our hearts and lives echo his love.
Amen.

O God, make speed to save us;
O Lord, make haste to help us.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.


PSALM 119:105-112
105 Your word is a lantern to my feet*
and a light upon my path.
106 I have sworn and am steadfastly purposed*
to keep your righteous judgments.
107 I am troubled above measure;*
revive me, O Lord, according to your word.
108 Let the freewill offerings of my mouth please you, O Lord;*
and teach me your judgments.
109 My life is always in my hand,*
yet I do not forget your law.
110 The ungodly have laid a snare for me,*
yet I have not strayed from your commandments.
111 Your testimonies have I claimed as my heritage for ever,*
and why? They are the very joy of my heart.
112 I have applied my heart to fulfill your statutes always,*
even unto the end.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Luke 10:25-37 (ESV)
25 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” 27 And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” 28 And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.” 29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ 36 Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” 37 He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”

The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

I will bless the Lord at all times.
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Prayer of St Francis

Make me an instrument of peace
Where there is hate let me sow love
Where the is hurt let me bring your healing

Make me an instrument of peace
Where there is fear let faith arise
Where there is dark let me be your light

Make of me your hands and feet
I want to be to the people around me
What you want me to be to the people around me

It’s in the loving we find love
It’s in the giving we receive
It’s in the dying we are found

Let us pray:

Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your Name,
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And 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 for ever. Amen.

Grant, O Lord, that the course of this world may be so peaceably ordered by your providence, that your Church may joyfully serve you in quiet confidence and godly peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and
ever. Amen.

Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever.

Almighty God, you created us in your own image: Grant us grace to contend fearlessly against evil and to make no peace with oppression; and help us to use our freedom rightly in the establishment of justice in our communities and among the nations, to the glory of your holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, union; where there is error, truth; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master, grant that I may seek not so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Heavenly Father, you have promised to hear what we ask in the Name of your Son: Accept and fulfill our petitions, we pray, not as we ask in our ignorance, nor as we deserve in our sinfulness, but as you know and love us in your Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.
Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen.
2 Corinthians 13:14

Let us bless the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

See Your Love

God so loved the world that he gave his only Son
And believers shall receive his life
We who do believe have been called to do his work
Be his hands and be his feet, his love

As a city on a hill we will shine before all men

Be the song that we sing, be the story
Be the one we proclaim
For all to see, all to see your love
For the sake of your Name, for your glory
Living lives you have changed
For all to see, all to see your love

The world that God so loved, we are in it but not of it
Made holy through his righteousness
We who have been called out of darkness into light
Are compelled to live the love of Jesus Christ

As a city on a hill we will shine before all men

Luke 18:9-30 (ESV)
9 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: 10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ 13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

15 Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. 17 Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.”

18 And a ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 19 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.’” 21 And he said, “All these I have kept from my youth.” 22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich. 24 Jesus, seeing that he had become sad, said, “How difficult it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! 25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” 26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?” 27 But he said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” 28 And Peter said, “See, we have left our homes and followed you.” 29 And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, 30 who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life.”

The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

I will bless the Lord at all times.
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

I Will Offer Up My Life

I will offer up my life in spirit and truth
Pouring out the oil of love as my worship to you
In surrender I must give my every part
Lord receive the sacrifice of a broken heart

Jesus, what can I give?
What can I bring?
To so faithful a friend
To so loving a king?
Saviour, what can be said?
What can be sung?
As a praise of your name
For the things you have done?
Oh my words could not tell
Not even in part
Of the debt of love that is owed
By this thankful heart

You deserve my every breath for you've paid the great cost
Giving up your life to death, even death on a cross
You took all my shame away, there defeated my sin
Opened up the gates of Heaven, and have beckoned me in

Let us pray:

Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your Name,
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And 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 for ever. Amen.

O God, the protector of all those who trust in you, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: Increase and multiply upon us your mercy, that, with you as our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal that we lose not the things eternal; grant this, heavenly Father, for the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever.

Almighty God, you created us in your own image: Grant us grace to contend fearlessly against evil and to make no peace with oppression; and help us to use our freedom rightly in the establishment of justice in our communities and among the nations, to the glory of your holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, union; where there is error, truth; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master, grant that I may seek not so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

2 Corinthians 13:14

Let us bless the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Come Holy Ghost

You are the God of hope and peace
And love and joy and everything
And without You we’ve got nothing to bring
Before our king

You are the one we want to see
You know our hearts now set them free
From hurt and pain and loss and grief
You are our King

Come Holy Spirit! Come Holy Spirit, help us sing! (X2)

Come Holy Ghost, come God and Lord
With all your grace on us outpoured

Come Holy Light, come Guide Divine
Now cause the Word of Life to shine

Come Holy Fire and Comfort True
Grant us the will your work to do.

Come Holy Spirit! Come Holy Spirit, help us sing! (X2)

Before the Dawn of Time
The Table

Though I feel alone I am never alone (repeat)
You are with me, You are with me
Oh, my Lord

In the night-time while I'm on my bed
I will let every thought be of You
For you are good
You take all those who will come to You

In the morning as I face the day
I will let every thought be of You
For you are good
You take all those who will come to You

You take all those who will come to You (repeat)

The Lord almighty grant us a quiet night and a perfect end.
Amen.
Our help is in the name of the Lord
who made heaven and earth.

Song: Confession

Lord, we confess that we have sinned
Against you and each other

A Reflection on Mark 1

Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.
Into your hands, O Lord,

I commend my spirit.
For you have redeemed me, Lord God of truth. 
I commend my spirit.

Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit.
Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit. 

Keep me as the apple of your eye.
Hide me under the shadow of your wings.
Christ died for us, so that,
whether we wake or sleep, we might live with him.

Intercession & Thanksgiving

Psalm 86
Jenny & Tyler

O Lord, my God, incline your ear
And answer me for I am poor
Preserve my life, rescue this slave
Who trusts in you, O Lord, my God

O Lord, my God, show me your Grace
To you I cry all the day
Make glad this soul, Your servant save
My soul, I lift, to you, my God

Teach me your way and I
Will walk in your truth
Unite my heart that I
May fear only you, only you

O Lord my God, you are so good
Quick to forgive and bountiful
In lovingkindness to everyone
Who calls on you, O Lord, my God

O Lord, my God, I will give thanks
With my whole heart and glorify
Your name forever, for you have saved
My soul from death, O Lord, my God

In peace we will lie down and sleep;
for you alone, Lord,
make us dwell in safety.
Abide with us, Lord Jesus,
for the night is at hand and the day is now past. 
As the night watch looks for the morning,
so do we look for you, O Christ.

O God, make speed to save us;

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;

PSALM 119:105-112
105 Your word is a lantern to my feet*
and a light upon my path.
106 I have sworn and am steadfastly purposed*
to keep your righteous judgments.
107 I am troubled above measure;*
revive me, O Lord, according to your word.
108 Let the freewill offerings of my mouth please you, O Lord;*
and teach me your judgments.
109 My life is always in my hand,*

110 The ungodly have laid a snare for me,*

111 Your testimonies have I claimed as my heritage for ever,*
and why? They are the very joy of my heart.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;

Luke 14:25–15:10 (ESV)
25 Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. 27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ 31 Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. 33 So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.

34 “Salt is good, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? 35 It is of no use either for the soil or for the manure pile. It is thrown away. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

15:1 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. 2 And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.”

3 So he told them this parable: 4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ 7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

8 “Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’ 10 Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

I will bless the Lord at all times.
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

All the Poor and Powerless
All the poor and powerless
And all the lost and lonely
And all the thieves will come confess
And know that you are holy
And know that you are holy

And all will sing out hallelujah
And we will cry out hallelujah

All the hearts who are content
And all who feel unworthy
And all who hurt with nothing left
Will know that you are holy

Shout it
Go on and scream it from the mountains
Go on and tell it to the masses
That he is God

Let us pray:

Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your Name,
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And 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 for ever. Amen.

O God, the King of glory, you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph to your kingdom in heaven: Do not leave us comfortless, but send us your Holy Spirit to strengthen us, and exalt us to that place where our Savior Christ has gone before; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

O Lord, our heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, you have brought us safely to the beginning of this day: Defend us by your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin nor run into any danger; and that, guided by your Spirit, we may do what is righteous in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

O God, you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth, and sent your blessed Son to preach peace to those who are far off and to those who are near: Grant that people everywhere may seek after you and find you; bring the nations into your fold; pour out your Spirit upon all flesh; and hasten the coming of your kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

Thanks be to thee, my Lord Jesus Christ, for all the pains and insults thou hast borne for me, and all the benefits thou hast given me. O most merciful Redeemer, Friend, and Brother: Grant that I may see thee more clearly, love thee more dearly, and follow thee more nearly, day by day.

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

O Most mighty and merciful God, in this time of grievous sickness, we flee to you for comfort. Deliver us, we beseech you, from our peril; give strength and skill to all those who minister to the sick; prosper the means made use of for their cure; and grant that, perceiving how frail and uncertain our life is, we may apply our hearts unto that heavenly wisdom which leads to eternal life; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

O Lord our God, accept the fervent prayers of your people; in the multitude of your mercies, look with compassion upon us and all who turn to you for help; for you are gracious, O lover of souls, and to you we give glory, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and for ever.

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you. Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen.
2 Corinthians 13:14

Let us bless the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

So Will I
God of creation
There at the start, before the beginning of time
With no point of reference
You spoke to the dark and fleshed out the wonder of light

And as You speak
A hundred billion galaxies are born
In the vapour of Your breath the planets form
If the stars were made to worship, so will I
I can see Your heart in everything You've made
Every burning star, a signal fire of grace
If creation sings Your praises, so will I

God of Your promise
You don't speak in vain, no syllable empty or void
For once You have spoken
All nature and science, follow the sound of Your voice

And as You speak
A hundred billion creatures catch Your breath
Evolving in pursuit of what You said
If it all reveals Your nature, so will I
I can see Your heart in everything You say
Every painted sky, a canvas of Your grace
If creation still obeys You, so will I

If the stars were made to worship, so will I
If the mountains bow in reverence, so will I
If the oceans roar Your greatness, so will I
For if everything exists to lift You high, so will I
And if the wind goes where You send it, so will I
If the rocks cry out in silence, so will I
If the sum of all our praises still falls shy
Then we'll sing again a hundred billion times

God of salvation
You chased down my heart through all of my failure and pride
On a hill You created
The light of the world abandoned in darkness to die

And as You speak
A hundred billion failures disappear
Where You lost Your life so I could find it here
If You left the grave behind You, so will I
I can see Your heart in everything You've done
Every part designed in a work of art called love
If You gladly chose surrender, so will I
I can see in Your heart, eight billion different ways
Every precious one, a child You died to save
If You gave Your life to love them, so will I

Like You would again a hundred billion times
But what measure could amount to Your desire
You're the One who never leaves the one behind

Night Prayer (May 21)

(If you prefer a PDF version click here)

Before the Dawn of Time
The Table

Before the dawn of time
You've seen and weighed our worth
A price you paid with blood to save our lives
Illuminate our eyes, lead us to your truth
That we may live as children of light (2x)

Oh God! You are our God
We will ever praise You
From the rising of the sun
To the setting of the same
Our words cannot convey
How worthy to be praised
You are, you are our God

Death and all its sting, it never kept you in
You laid your life to overcome the grave
Spirit may you dwell within our grateful hearts
That we may live to lift up your name (2x)

The Lord almighty grant us a quiet night and a perfect end.
Amen.
Our help is in the name of the Lord
who made heaven and earth.

Most merciful God,
we confess to you,
before the whole company of heaven and one another,
that we have sinned in thought, word and deed
and in what we have failed to do.
Forgive us our sins,
heal us by your Spirit
and raise us to new life in Christ. Amen.

O God, make speed to save us.
O Lord, make haste to help us.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now and shall be for ever. Amen. Alleluia!

Psalm 86

All nations you have made shall come and worship you, O Lord.

1 Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me,
for I am poor and in misery.
2 Preserve my soul, for I am faithful;
save your servant, for I put my trust in you
.3 Be merciful to me, O Lord, for you are my God;
I call upon you all the day long.
4 Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

All nations you have made shall come and worship you, O Lord.

5 For you, Lord, are good and forgiving,
abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you. 
6 Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer
and listen to the voice of my supplication.
7 In the day of my distress I will call upon you,
for you will answer me.

All nations you have made shall come and worship you, O Lord.

8 Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord,
nor any works like yours.
9 All nations you have made shall come and worship you, O Lord,
and shall glorify your name.
10 For you are great and do wonderful things;
you alone are God.

All nations you have made shall come and worship you, O Lord.

11 Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth;
knit my heart to you, that I may fear your name.
12 I will thank you, O Lord my God, with all my heart,
and glorify your name for evermore;

13 For great is your steadfast love towards me,
for you have delivered my soul from the depths of the grave.

All nations you have made shall come and worship you, O Lord.

14 O God, the proud rise up against me
and a ruthless horde seek after my life;
they have not set you before their eyes.
15 But you, Lord, are gracious and full of compassion,
slow to anger and full of kindness and truth.

16 Turn to me and have mercy upon me;
give your strength to your servant
and save the child of your handmaid.
17 Show me a token of your favour,
that those who hate me may see it and be ashamed;
because you, O Lord, have helped and comforted me.

All nations you have made shall come and worship you, O Lord.

God of mercy,
who in your great love
drew your Son from the depths of the Pit,
bring your people from death to life,
that we may rejoice in your compassion
and praise you now and for ever.

Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.
Into your hands, O Lord,

I commend my spirit.
For you have redeemed me, Lord God of truth. 
I commend my spirit.

Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit.
Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit. 

Keep me as the apple of your eye.
Hide me under the shadow of your wings.
Christ died for us, so that,
whether we wake or sleep, we might live with him.

Revive Us Again
C2C Music

We are your people
called by your name
We humble ourselves and pray
Turning from idols, running to you
Forgive our sin
Come heal our land

Your glory, is what we’ll live for
Oh Jesus, you’re the treasure we adore
Lord, fill us with holy fire
Spirit come, revive us again
Revive us again

Lord show your power, exalt your name
Your kingdom come we pray
Drive back the darkness, bring lost ones home
Set captives free
From sea to sea

Hallelujah Thine the glory,
Hallelujah Amen
Hallelujah Thine the glory,
Spirit come revive us again

Intercession & Thanksgiving

Psalm 86
Jenny & Tyler

O Lord, my God, incline your ear
And answer me for I am poor
Preserve my life, rescue this slave
Who trusts in you, O Lord, my God

O Lord, my God, show me your Grace
To you I cry all the day
Make glad this soul, Your servant save
My soul, I lift, to you, my God

Teach me your way and I
Will walk in your truth
Unite my heart that I
May fear only you, only you

O Lord my God, you are so good
Quick to forgive and bountiful
In lovingkindness to everyone
Who calls on you, O Lord, my God

O Lord, my God, I will give thanks
With my whole heart and glorify
Your name forever, for you have saved
My soul from death, O Lord, my God

In peace we will lie down and sleep;
for you alone, Lord,
make us dwell in safety.
Abide with us, Lord Jesus,
for the night is at hand and the day is now past. 
As the night watch looks for the morning,
so do we look for you, O Christ.

May God bless us, that in us may be found love and humility, obedience and thanksgiving, discipline, gentleness and peace. Amen

In your name...we renounce all sin & shame

For Christ has entered, not into holy places made
with hands, which are copies of the true things, but
into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.
-Hebrews 9:24

O Lord, open our lips
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise

O God, make speed to save us;
O Lord, make haste to help us.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Praise the Lord.
The Lord's Name be praised!

Phos Hilaron

Hail, gladdening Light, 
of His pure glory poured
The Immortal Father, heavenly, blest,
Holiest of Holies, Holiest of Holies
Holiest of Holies, Jesus Christ our Lord!

Now we have come 
to the sun’s hour of rest;
The lights of evening round us shine;
We hymn the Father…
we hymn the Son, 
We hymn the Holy Spirit divine!

Worthiest at all times to be sung
With undefiled…tongue,
Son of our God, giver of life, alone:
In all the world thy glories, 
Lord, they own.

Pure and Holy Jesus Christ
Drive out Darkness with Your Light (x4)

Glory to God 
who has shown us the light! (x2)
Lead us from darkness to light,
Lead us from sorrow to joy,
Lead us from death into life, lead us.

Call Him Good 

Call him Good, my soul
I am here to declare my affection for you 
Call him Good, my soul                 
You are dressed in glory, 
wrapped in greatness

For covering, you choose light
Your clothes, sunset and moonrise
For a tent, you stretch out the heavens
For a roof, you pitch the sky

Call him good, my soul! (x3)

You, who made the earth
And you made its frame stable forever
You, who made the earth 
And you wrapped it in a gown of waters

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord
God of power and might   (repeat)

Heaven and earth are full of Your glory
Heaven and earth are full of Your praise

Psalm 68

1 May God arise, may the righteous be glad
and rejoice before God;
may they be happy and joyful.
4 Sing to God, sing in praise of his name,
extol him who rides on the clouds;
rejoice before him—his name is the Lord.
5 A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows,
is God in his holy dwelling.
6 God sets the lonely in families,
he leads out the prisoners with singing;
but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.
7 When you, God, went out before your people,
when you marched through the wilderness,
8 the earth shook, the heavens poured down rain,
before God, the One of Sinai,
before God, the God of Israel.
9 You gave abundant showers, O God;
you refreshed your weary inheritance.
10 Your people settled in it,
and from your bounty, God, you provided for the poor.
11 The Lord announces the word,
and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng
19 Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior,
who daily bears our burdens.
20 Our God is a God who saves;
from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death.
26 Praise God in the great congregation;
praise the Lord in the assembly of Israel.
28 Summon your power, God;
show us your strength, our God, as you have done before.
- Psalm 68:1,4-11,19-20,26,28

John 17:1-11

After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. 2 For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. 3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4 I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. Jesus Prays for His Disciples 6 “I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8 For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 9 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. 11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of b your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.

This is the word of the Lord
Thanks be to God

CONFESSION and ASSURANCE

Bellows of Praise

Oceans of love could never contain
All of Your love forever untamed
With one final breath You vanquished my death And laid to rest all my transgressions

There in the tomb broken and bruised
For every disease all heaven broke through
I was dead in my grave
but You swallowed my plague 

You poured out your blood for my resurrection

Let it be Je sus
Only J- e- s-u-s
All that I am, All that’s within

When I breathe my last and death is no more Trumpets will sound to carry me home
What joy there will be when I see Your face
With shouts of triumph and bellows of pr-a-i-s-e

Hallelujah (Lord we love you) (Christ we praise You)

You would lay down Your life
That I would be set free
Jesus, I sing for
All that You’ve done for me

Who makes the orphan a son and daughter
The King of Glory, the King above all kings
Who rules the nations with truth and justice
Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy! Worthy! Worthy!

No One Like Our God

Hallelujah

Chains are broken

Your death has spoken life to us

And every accusation

All our condemnation

Silenced at the cross

Hallelujah

Free salvation

The burden of a world so lost

Lifted from our shoulders

Carried by the Savior’s passion at the cross

There is no one like our God

There is no one like our Savior

How great is Your blessing

How great is Your love

There is no one like our God

Never has there been

Never will there be

A God like You

Who came down in mercy

And never will there be a greater hope than this 
 There is no one like our God

All Hail
My God my rock a mighty fortress
Strong to deliver and rich in love
I stand in awe of all your promises
And all you justice true my heart will trust in you

All hail king Jesus
All hail our God Emmanul Rejoice let every voice sing Yours is the kingdom forever

We worship the lion we worship the lamb
All praises belong to the one who was slain We worship our warrior we crown you as king Satan’s defeated he’s under our feet

O God, make speed to save us;
O Lord, make haste to help us.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.


Psalm 121
1 I will lift up my eyes unto the hills;
from whence comes my help? 

2 My help comes from the Lord,

who has made heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot be moved,
and he who keeps you will not sleep.
4 Behold, he who keeps Israel
shall neither slumber nor sleep. 

5 The Lord himself is you keeper;

the Lord is your defence upon your right hand,
6 So that the sound shall not burn you by day,

neither the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve you from all evil;

indeed, it is he who shall keep your soul.

8 The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in,

my from this time forth and for evermore.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Luke 11:1–13
1 Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” 2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say:
“Father, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
3 Give us each day our daily bread,
4 and forgive us our sins,
for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation.”

5 And he said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves, 6 for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; 7 and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything’? 8 I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence he will rise and give him whatever he needs. 9 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; 12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

I will bless the Lord at all times.
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Let us pray:

Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your Name,
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And 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 for ever. Amen.

Almighty God, Lord of heaven and earth: We humbly pray that your gracious providence may give and preserve to our use the harvests of the land and of the seas, and may prosper all who labor to gather them, that we, who are constantly receiving good things from your hand, may always give you thanks; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

O God, you have prepared for those who love you such good things as surpass our understanding: Pour into our hearts such love towards you, that we, loving you in all things and above all things, may obtain your promises, which exceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

O Almighty God, you pour out on all who desire it the spirit of grace and of supplication: Deliver us, when we draw near to you, from coldness of heart and wanderings of mind, that with steadfast thoughts and kindled affections we may worship you in spirit and in truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

Heavenly Father, you have promised to hear what we ask in the Name of your Son: Accept and fulfill our petitions, we pray, not as we ask in our ignorance, nor as we deserve in our sinfulness, but as you know and love us in your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen.
2 Corinthians 13:14

Let us bless the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Seek Ye First
Seek ye first the kingdom of God
And his righteousness
And all these things shell be added unto you
Allelu, Allelujah

Man shall not live by bread alone
But by every word
That proceeds from the mouth of God
Allelu, Allelujah

Ask and it shall be given unto you
Seek and you shall find
Knock and the door will be opened unto you
Allelu, Allelujah

Allelujah (x3)
Allelu, Allelujah

Risen One,
we rose today by your mercy,
and we have come to the end of the day by way of your faithfulness.
Let our prayer be set forth in your sight as incense,
And let the lifting up of our hands be an evening sacrifice.
Let us pray with one heart and mind.

Silence is kept (taking 5 deep breaths - 3 count inhale | 5 count exhale)

O Lord, open our lips;
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.

Open Prayers

As Jesus taught us, so we pray:

THE LORD’S PRAYER

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your Name,
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And 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.

A Benediction
(based on the words of Henri Frederic Amiel {1821-1881})

My sisters and brothers in Christ: 
Our time here is short 
and we don’t have long to gladden the hearts 
of those who journal the way with us. 
So make haste to love, 
be quick to be kind, 
to laugh and sing and dance, 
like the saints you are. 
And may the blessing of God 
who made us,
who loves us,
and who travels with us
be with you now and forever.
Amen.

Psalm 148:7-14

7 Praise the Lord from the earth,
    you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,

8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds,
    stormy winds that do his bidding,

9 you mountains and all hills,
    fruit trees and all cedars,

10 wild animals and all cattle,
    small creatures and flying birds,

11 kings of the earth and all nations,
    you princes and all rulers on earth,

12 young men and women,
    old men and children.

13 Let them praise the name of the Lord,
    for his name alone is exalted;
    his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.

14 And he has raised up for his people a horn,
    the praise of all his faithful servants,
    of Israel, the people close to his heart.

How Great Is Our God

The splendor of the King, clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice, all the earth rejoice
He wraps Himself in light, and darkness tries to hide
And trembles at his voice, trembles at his voice

How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, all will see
How great, how great is our God

Age to age He stands, and time is in His hands
Beginning and the end, beginning and the end
The Godhead, three in one: Father, Spirit, Son
The Lion and the Lamb, the Lion and the Lamb

Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God

WORD: John 15:1-11

READING: John 15:1-11

1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 
2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, 
while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes 
so that it will be even more fruitful. 
3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 

4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. 
No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine.
Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

5 “I am the vine; you are the branches.
If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; 
apart from me you can do nothing. 
6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers;
such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 
7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you,
ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 

8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit,
showing yourselves to be my disciples.

9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 
10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love,
just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 
11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

This is the word of the Lord
Thanks be to God

Abide
Jenny & Tyler

You strive, you strive, and you strive again
Your heart too proud to rest
You labour o'er singing those songs
To cover your weakness

Do you fail to recall who you really are
And who caused you to be?
Return, return, return and rest
To a burden light and yoke easy

Abide in your Saviour, abide in his love
The labour of God is to trust in the Son

All you possess, do you forget?
As if by your own strength
You earned it all?
He gave you all, everything you have
Your righteousness your light, your breath
Your daily bread and wine
His blood, his flesh his love, his death
Your faith and endless life

Open up your doors Oh, my heart and soul
Open up your doors
Let the King come in
Let the King come in

CONFESSION and ASSURANCE

Whiter Than Snow (Ps 51)

Draw me, O Lord and I will bring
Glory to you, glory to you

Death is swallowed up in victory
Where, O death, is your sting?

The first fruits of those who have fallen asleep 
Death is swallowed up in victory

Death is swallowed up in victory.
Where, O death, is your sting?

Friday Midday Prayer (May 15)

(If you prefer a PDF version click here)

O God, make speed to save us.
O Lord, make haste to help us.
My heart tells of your word, ‘Seek my face.’
Your face, Lord, will I seek.

Psalm 75
We praise you, God, we praise you, for your Name is near;
people tell of your wonderful deeds.
You say, “I choose the appointed time; it is I who judge with equity.
When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm.
As for me, I will declare this forever;
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob,

Awaken the Dawn
Sing to the Lord with all of your heart
Sing of the glory that’s due to His name
Sing to the Lord with all of your soul
Join all of heaven and earth to proclaim

You are the Lord, the Saviour of all
God of creation we praise you
We sing the songs that awaken the dawn
God of creation we praise You!

Sing to the Lord with all of your mind
With understanding give thanks to the King
Sing to the Lord with all of your strength
Living your lives as a praise offering

Psalm 77
1 I cried out to God for help;
I cried out to God to hear me.
2 When I was in distress, I sought the Lord;
at night I stretched out untiring hands,
and I would not be comforted.
3 I remembered you, God, and I groaned;
I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.
4 You kept my eyes from closing;
I was too troubled to speak.
5 I thought about the former days,
the years of long ago;
6 I remembered my songs in the night.
My heart meditated and my spirit asked:
7 “Will the Lord reject forever?
Will he never show his favor again?
8 Has his unfailing love vanished forever?
Has his promise failed for all time?
9 Has God forgotten to be merciful?
Has he in anger withheld his compassion?”
10 Then I thought, “To this I will appeal:
the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.
11 I will remember the deeds of the LORD;
yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
12 I will consider all your works
and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”
13 Your ways, God, are holy.
What god is as great as our God?
14 You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.
15 With your mighty arm you redeemed your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
16 The waters saw you, God,
the waters saw you and writhed;
the very depths were convulsed.
17 The clouds poured down water,
the heavens resounded with thunder;
your arrows flashed back and forth.
18 Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind,
your lightning lit up the world;
the earth trembled and quaked.
19 Your path led through the sea,
your way through the mighty waters,
though your footprints were not seen.
20 You led your people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Here by the Water
Soft field of clover, moon shining over the valley
Joining the song of the river
To the great Giver of the great good
As it enfolds me, somehow it holds me together
I realize I’ve been singing
Still it comes singing, clearer than clear

And here by the water,
I’ll build an altar to praise Him
Out of the stones that I’ve found here
I’ll set them down here, rough as they are
Knowing You can make them holy x3

I think how a yearning,
kept on returning to move me
down roads I’d never have chosen
Half the time frozen, too numb to feel
I know it was stormy, hope it was for me a learning
Blood on the road wasn’t mine though, someone that I know has walked here before

Father God, you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph to your kingdom in heaven: do not leave us comfortless, but send us your Holy Spirit to strengthen us, and exalt us to that place where our Savior Christ has gone before; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God. Amen.

Almighty Saviour, who at mid-day called your servant Paul to be an apostle to the Gentiles: We pray you to enlighten the world with the radiance of your glory, that all nations may come and worship you; for you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Today, let us pray for those that we love, for our friends, family and neighbours. May God extend his love and care over them.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
That all people everywhere may receive the good news of his loving sacrifice and victory over death: Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
That those who suffer pain, loneliness, depression and anguish may find healing and peace in the wounds of Christ:
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Let us commend the world, with all it’s current suffering to the mercy and protection of God. Amen.

Let us pray together as Jesus taught us:
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.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen.

As we think of those in need, as we think of our own needs, we pray these words:
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
Amen.

The Joy of the Lord
The joy of the Lord will be my strength
I will not falter, I will not faint
He is my Shepherd, I am not afraid
The joy of the Lord is my strength

The joy of the Lord,
The joy of the Lord,
The joy of the Lord is my strength

The joy of the Lord will be my strength
He will uphold me all of my days
I am surrounded by mercy and grace
The joy of the Lord is my strength

The joy of the Lord will be my strength
And I will not waiver, walking by faith
He will be strong to deliver me safe
The joy of the Lord is my strength

Night Prayer (May 14)

(If you prefer a PDF version click here)

Song: Lord By Your Cross And Resurrection

Lord, by your cross and resurrection You have set us free
You are the Saviour of the world

Jesus Christ is Lord (x4)

Lord, by your death and life uprising... You have lifted us
You are the Life of the world

Lord, through obedience and passion... You have made the way
You are Salvation for the world

The Lord almighty grant us a quiet night and a perfect end.
Amen.
Our help is in the name of the Lord
who made heaven and earth.

Song: Confession

Lord, we confess that we have sinned
Against you and each other
In thought and in word and deed we’ve failed,
And not loved as we should
Have mercy on us,
And forgive us our sin,
That we may delight in your will and walk in your ways To the glory of Christ, your Son, our Lord
A - men

Mark 1:21-31

Mark 1:21 And they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and was teaching. 22 And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes. 23 And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, 24 “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.” 25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” 26 And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him. 27 And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.” 28 And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.

Mark 1:29 And immediately he left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Now Simon’s mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, and immediately they told him about her. 31 And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them.

Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.
Into your hands, O Lord,

I commend my spirit.
For you have redeemed me, Lord God of truth. 
I commend my spirit.

Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit.
Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit. 

Keep me as the apple of your eye.
Hide me under the shadow of your wings.
Christ died for us, so that,
whether we wake or sleep, we might live with him.

Song: Revive Us Again

We are your people
called by your name
We humble ourselves and pray
Turning from idols, running to you
Forgive our sin
Come heal our land

Your glory, is what we’ll live for
Oh Jesus, you’re the treasure we adore
Lord, fill us with holy fire
Spirit come, revive us again
Revive us again

Lord show your power, exalt your name
Your kingdom come we pray
Drive back the darkness, bring lost ones home
Set captives free
From sea to sea

Hallelujah Thine the glory,
Hallelujah Amen
Hallelujah Thine the glory,
Spirit come revive us again

Intercession & Thanksgiving

In peace we will lie down and sleep;
for you alone, Lord, make us dwell in safety.
Abide with us, Lord Jesus,
for the night is at hand and the day is now past.
As the night watch looks for the morning,
so do we look for you, O Christ.

May the risen Lord Jesus bless us.
May he watch over us and renew us
as he renews the whole of creation.
May our hearts and lives echo his love.
Amen.

Depart in Peace
Church of the Beloved

Oh God,
as you have promised now let your servants...
depart in peace
depart in peace

For our eyes
have seen the salvation which you have prepared........
for all to see
for all to see

A light
to enlighten the world and for your people...
glo-ry...glo-ry

So depart in peace, depart in peace (x2)

Great is the mystery of faith:
Dying, He destroyed our death;
Rising, He restored our life;
Lord Jesus come in glory!

PSALM 119:105-112

105 Your word is a lantern to my feet*
and a light upon my path.
106 I have sworn and am steadfastly purposed*
to keep your righteous judgments.
107 I am troubled above measure;*
revive me, O Lord, according to your word.
108 Let the freewill offerings of my mouth please you, O Lord;*
and teach me your judgments.
109 My life is always in my hand,*
yet I do not forget your law.
110 The ungodly have laid a snare for me,*
yet I have not strayed from your commandments.
111 Your testimonies have I claimed as my heritage for ever,*
and why? They are the very joy of my heart.
112 I have applied my heart to fulfill your statutes always,*
even unto the end.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Luke 8:1–21
1 Soon afterward he went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, 3and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's household manager, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their means.

4 And when a great crowd was gathering and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable, 5 “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the air devoured it. 6 And some fell on the rock, and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it. 8 And some fell into good soil and grew and yielded a hundredfold.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

9 And when his disciples asked him what this parable meant, 10 he said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others they are in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’ 11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12 The ones along the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But these have no root; they believe for a while, and in time of testing fall away. 14 And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. 15 As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience.

16 “No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. 17 For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light. 18 Take care then how you hear, for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away.”

19 Then his mother and his brothers came to him, but they could not reach him because of the crowd. 20 And he was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you.” 21 But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”

The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

I will bless the Lord at all times.
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Let us pray:

Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your Name,
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And 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 for ever. Amen.

Almighty God, whom truly to know is everlasting life: Grant us so perfectly to know your Son Jesus Christ to be the way, the truth, and the life, that we may steadfastly follow his steps in the way that leads to eternal glory; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

O Lord, our heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, you have brought us safely to the beginning of this day: Defend us by your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin nor run into any danger; and that, guided by your Spirit, we may do what is righteous in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

O God, our heavenly Father, you manifested your love by sending your only-begotten Son into the world, that all might live through him: Pour out your Spirit on your Church, that
 we may fulfill his command to preach the Gospel to all people. Send forth laborers into your harvest; defend them in all dangers and temptations; and hasten the time when the fullness of the Gentiles shall be gathered in, and faithful Israel shall be saved; through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

Almighty God our Savior, you desire that none should perish, and you have taught us through your Son that there is great joy in heaven over every sinner who repents: Grant that our hearts may ache for a lost and broken world. May your Holy Spirit work through our words, deeds, and prayers, that the lost may be found and the dead made alive, and that all your redeemed may rejoice around your throne; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

Teach me to seek you, and as I seek you, show yourself to me; for I cannot seek you unless you show me how, and I will never find you unless you show yourself to me. Let me seek you by desiring you, and desire you by seeking you; let me find you by loving you, and love you in finding you. Amen.

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

O Most mighty and merciful God, in this time of grievous sickness, we flee to you for comfort. Deliver us, we beseech you, from our peril; give strength and skill to all those who minister to the sick; prosper the means made use of for their cure; and grant that, perceiving how frail and uncertain our life is, we may apply our hearts unto that heavenly wisdom which leads to eternal life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

Almighty God, your truth endures from age to age: Direct in our time, we pray, those who speak where many listen and write what many read; that they may speak your truth to make the heart of this people wise, its mind discerning, and its will righteous; to the honor of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

O Lord our God, accept the fervent prayers of your people; in the multitude of your mercies, look with compassion upon us and all who turn to you for help; for you are gracious, O lover of souls, and to you we give glory, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen.
2 Corinthians 13:14

Let us bless the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Sea of Crimson

For every curse, you’re the cure
For every sickness, you’re the healer
For every storm, you’re the cure
For all that’s lost, oh, what a savior

On that cross of calvary
Every burden has been defeated
Every wretched heart redeemed
You drown our sins in seas of crimson
Every wretched heart redeemed
You drown our sins in seas of crimson

Hallelujah death is beaten
Christ is risen from the grave
Hallelujah it is finished
All to the highest praise

On that day of utmost glory
All of darkness cannot carry
Every shackle will come undone
My solid rock thine is the kingdom
Every shackle will come undone
My solid rock thine is the kingdom

Hallelujah death is beaten
Christ is risen from the grave
Hallelujah it is finished
All to the highest praise

Hallelujah death is beaten
Christ is risen from the grave
Hallelujah now and forever
All to the highest praise

Where there was sin
Your love rushed in
Where sins runs deep
Your grace runs deeper
For all enslaved the ransom paid
Light of the world, your is the power

(If you prefer a PDF version click here)

O God, make speed to save us; 
O Lord, make haste to help us. 

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; 
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

 Psalm 119

105 Your word is a lantern to my feet
and a light upon my path. 
106 I have sworn and am steadfastly purposed
to keep your righteous judgments. 
107 I am troubled above measure;
revive me, O Lord, according to your word. 

108  Let the freewill offerings of my mouth please you, O Lord; 
and teach me your judgments. 
109  My life is always in my hand,
yet I do not forget your law. 
110  The ungodly have laid a snare for me,
yet I have not strayed from your commandments.

111  Your testimonies have I claimed as my heritage for ever,
and why? They are the very joy of my heart. 
112  I have applied my heart to fulfill your statutes always, 
even unto the end.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Luke 7:18-23

18 John’s disciples told him about all these things. Calling two of them, 19 he sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”

20 When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’”

21 At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind. 22 So he replied to the messengers, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. 23 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”

This is the Word of the Lord. 
Thanks be to God.

I will bless the Lord at all times.
His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 

Lord, have mercy upon us. 
Christ, have mercy upon us.

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, 
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven. 
Give us today our daily bread. 
And 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 for ever. Amen.

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

Let us pray.

If you prefer a PDF copy click here

Ps 38
Lord, do not forsake me;
do not be far from me, my God.
Come quickly to help me,
my Lord and my Savior.

Ps 39
“Hear my prayer, Lord,
listen to my cry for help;
do not be deaf to my weeping.
I dwell with you as a foreigner,
a stranger, as all my ancestors were.
Look away from me, that I may enjoy life again
before I depart and am no more.”

Why We Praise You
The Table

Giver of all life, you created out of love                
Perfect in your ways, you placed the stars above;
And you called it good, that’s why we praise you (x2)

Ever present God, you’re a beacon in the night;
Light up every path, be our strength and be our guide;
You guide us through, that’s why we praise you (x2)

Our darkness cannot hide,
when we see you as you are,
You open up our eyes,
You fill us with your holy light;
That’s why we praise you

Saviour of the world, you restore the broken soul;
Flood us with your hope, in the promise of your word;
You make all things new, that’s why we praise you (x2)

Psalm 40

40
U2

I waited patiently for the Lord
He inclined and heard my cry
He brought me up out of the pit
Out of the mire and clay

I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song

How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long, how long, how long
How long, to sing this song

He set my feet upon a rock
And made my footsteps firm
Many will see
Many will see and fear

Let us pray…
Please join me in the prayer of Daniel, who was keenly aware of the sins committed by the people of God in his own time. Pray for God's mercy in these words borrowed from this great statesman / prophet:

O Lord, the great and awesome God,
who keeps his covenant of love with all who love him and obey his commands,
we have sinned and done wrong.
We have been wicked and have rebelled;
we have turned away from your commands and laws.
We have not listened to your servants the prophets who spoke in your name.

Lord, you are righteous, but we are unfaithful. But the Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him and we have not kept the laws he gave us through his servants the prophets. All of us have transgressed your law and turned away refusing to obey you. 

Now, O Lord our God, who brought your people out of Egypt with a mighty hand and who made for yourself a name that endures to this day, we have sinned, we have done wrong. O Lord, in keeping with all your righteous acts, turn away your anger and your wrath from your city your holy hill.
[from Daniel 9:4-16]

Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me;
O LORD, make haste to help me.
But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation
say continually "Great is the LORD!"
As for me, I am poor arid needy,
but the Lord takes thought for me.

You are my help and my deliverer;
do not delay, O my God.

Our ever-present God, we can hardly wait for your help. Some of us are desperate. We love you, and we want your name to be honoured. We fear that this current crisis may overwhelm us; we become discouraged and our thoughts overwhelm us and  we may become our own worst enemies. Lord, help us to be glad, to rejoice with the psalmist, to have this new song in our hearts, to have our feet on the solid rock.

Lord, think of us,
remember us when you come into your kingdom.
You are our help and our deliverer.
O Lord our God, do not delay.
We long for your presence, your love, your favor, your grace.
Hear us through your only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus. Amen.

May the Father of all mercies cleanse us from our sins, and restore us in his image to the praise and glory of his name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Lord, you have taught us that all our doings without love are worth nothing;
send your Holy Spirit and pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of love,
the true bond of peace and of all virtues,
without which whoever lives is counted dead before you.
Grant this for your only Son Jesus Christ’s sake,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Blessed is the Lord, for he has heard the voice of our prayer;
therefore shall our hearts dance for joy
and in our song and our prayers we will praise our God. 

Gathering our prayers and praises in to one, we say,

Our Father in heaven, hallowed by 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.
Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and for ever.
Amen.

May the Lord bless us, and preserve us from all evil, and keep us in eternal life. Amen.

Song: Lord By Your Cross And Resurrection

Lord, by your cross and resurrection You have set us free
You are the Saviour of the world

Jesus Christ is Lord (x4)

Lord, by your death and life uprising... You have lifted us
You are the Life of the world

Lord, through obedience and passion... You have made the way
You are Salvation for the world

The Lord almighty grant us a quiet night and a perfect end.
Amen.
Our help is in the name of the Lord
who made heaven and earth.

Most merciful God,
we confess to you,
before the whole company of heaven and one another, that we have sinned in thought, word and deed
and in what we have failed to do.
Forgive us our sins,
heal us by your Spirit
and raise us to new life in Christ. Amen.

O God, make speed to save us.
O Lord, make haste to help us.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning 
is now and shall be for ever. Amen.

Song: We Abide in You

We are the vineyard You have planted
Tend our leaves and wild branches
We abide, we abide in You
We abide, we abide in You

Fruit growing from our strength and labor
Rain on us with grace and favor
We abide, we abide in You
We abide, we abide in You

Where can my soul find living water?
Apart from You, we bear no fruit
O plant my feet down by the river
We abide, we abide in You

Psalm 139
Search me out, O God, and know my heart.

1 O Lord, you have searched
me out and known me;
you know my sitting down and my rising up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
2 You mark out my journeys
and my resting place
and are acquainted with all my ways.
3 For there is not a word
on my tongue,
but you, O Lord, know it altogether.
4 You encompass me behind and before and lay your hand upon me.
5 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, so high that I cannot attain it.
Search me out, O God, and know my heart.

6 Where can I go then from your spirit?
Or where can I flee from your presence?
7 If I climb up to heaven, you are there;
if I make the grave my bed, you are there also.
8 If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
9 Even there your hand shall lead me,
your right hand hold me fast.
10 If I say, ‘Surely the darkness will cover me and the light around me turn to night,’
11 Even darkness is no darkness with you; the night is as clear as the day;
darkness and light to you are both alike. 
Search me out, O God, and know my heart

12 For you yourself created my inmost parts;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
13 I thank you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
marvellous are your works, my soul knows well.
14 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was made in secret and woven in the depths of the earth.
15 Your eyes beheld my form, as yet unfinished;
already in your book were all my members written,
16 As day by day they were fashionedwhen as yet there was none of them.
17 How deep are your counsels to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
18 If I count them, they are more in number than the sand,
and at the end, I am still in your presence.
Search me out, O God, and know my heart.

Creator God,
may every breath we take be for your glory,
may every footstep show you as our way,
that, trusting in your presence in this world,
we may, beyond this life, still be with you
where you are alive and reign for ever and ever.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now and shall be for ever. Amen.

Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.
Into your hands, O Lord,

I commend my spirit.
For you have redeemed me, Lord God of truth. 
I commend my spirit.

Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit.
Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit. 

Keep me as the apple of your eye.
Hide me under the shadow of your wings.
Christ died for us, so that,
whether we wake or sleep, we might live with him.

Song: Save Us Now

Bless be the Good and Father of Jesus Christ (x2)
Who according to His mercy gave us a living hope (x2)
Through the resurrection from the dead of the Son (x2)
to obtain a promise that will not fade away (x2)

Save my life
Bring me hope!

Bless be the Good and Father of Jesus Christ
Who according to His mercy gave us a living hope
Through the resurrection from the dead of the Son
Through the resurrection from the dead of the Son
to obtain a promise that will not fade away
to obtain a promise that will not fade away

Save my life
Bring me hope!

Intercession & Thanksgiving

In peace we will lie down and sleep;
for you alone, Lord, make us dwell in safety.
Abide with us, Lord Jesus,
for the night is at hand and the day is now past.
As the night watch looks for the morning,
so do we look for you, O Christ.

May the risen Lord Jesus bless us.
May he watch over us and renew us
as he renews the whole of creation.
May our hearts and lives echo his love.
Amen.

Depart in Peace
Church of the Beloved

Oh God,
as you have promised now let your servants...
depart in peace
depart in peace

For our eyes
have seen the salvation which you have prepared........
for all to see
for all to see

A light
to enlighten the world and for your people...
glo-ry...glo-ry

So depart in peace, depart in peace (x2)

Great is the mystery of faith:
Dying, He destroyed our death;
Rising, He restored our life;
Lord Jesus come in glory!

I Feel the Winds of God Today

I feel the winds of God today; 

today my sail I lift,
Though heavy, oft with drenching spray, 

and torn with many a rift;
If hope but light the water’s crest, 

and Christ my bark will use,
I’ll seek the seas at His behest, 

and brave another cruise.

It is the wind of God that dries 

my vain regretful tears,
Until with braver thoughts shall rise 

the purer, brighter years;
If cast on shores of selfish ease 

or pleasure I should be;
Lord, let me feel Thy freshening breeze, 

and I’ll put back to sea.

If ever I forget Thy love 

and how that love was shown,
Lift high the blood red flag above; 

it bears Thy name alone.
Great pilot of my onward way, 

Thou wilt not let me drift;
I feel the winds of God today, 

today my sail I lift.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

PSALM 119:105-112

105 Your word is a lantern to my feet*

and a light upon my path.

106 I have sworn and am steadfastly purposed*

to keep your righteous judgments.

107 I am troubled above measure;*

revive me, O Lord, according to your word.

108 Let the freewill offerings of my mouth please you, O Lord;*

and teach me your judgments.

109 My life is always in my hand,*

yet I do not forget your law.

110 The ungodly have laid a snare for me,*

yet I have not strayed from your commandments.

111 Your testimonies have I claimed as my heritage for ever,*

and why? They are the very joy of my heart.

112 I have applied my heart to fulfill your statutes always,*

    even unto the end.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.  Amen.

Luke 5:1-16 (ESV)

1 On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, 2 and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3 Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat. 4 And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” 5 And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” 6 And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking. 7 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” 9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken, 10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.” 11 And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.

12 While he was in one of the cities, there came a man full of leprosy. And when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” 13 And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him. 14 And he charged him to tell no one, but “go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a proof to them.” 15 But now even more the report about him went abroad, and great crowds gathered to hear him and to be healed of their infirmities. 16 But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.

The Word of the Lord. 

Thanks be to God.

I will bless the Lord at all times.

His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 

Let us pray:

Lord, have mercy. 

Christ, have mercy.

Lord, have mercy.

Our Father in heaven, 

hallowed be your Name, 

your kingdom come, 

your will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven. 

Give us today our daily bread. 

And 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 for ever. Amen.

O God, whose Son Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd of your people: Grant that, when we hear his voice, we may know him who calls us each by name, and follow where he leads; who, with you and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

O Lord, hear our prayer;

And let our cry come to you.

O Lord, our heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, you have brought us safely to the beginning of this day: Defend us by your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin nor run into any danger; and that, guided by your Spirit, we may do what is righteous in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Lord, hear our prayer;

And let our cry come to you.

O God, you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth, and sent your blessed Son to preach peace to those who are far off and to those who are near: Grant that people everywhere may seek after you and find you; bring the nations into your fold; pour out your Spirit upon all flesh; and hasten the coming of your kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Lord, hear our prayer;

And let our cry come to you.

O Lord our heavenly Father, whose blessed Son came not to be served, but to serve: We ask you to bless all who, following in his steps, give themselves to the service of others; endue them with wisdom, patience, and courage, that they may strengthen the weak and raise up those who fall, and, being inspired by your love, may worthily minister to the suffering, the friendless, and the needy; for the sake of him who laid down his life for us, your Son our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. 

O Lord, hear our prayer;

And let our cry come to you.

Almighty and immortal God, giver of life and health: We implore your mercy for your servant who are sick at this time, that by your blessing upon them and upon those who minister to them with your healing gifts, they may be restored to health of body and mind, according to your gracious will, and may give thanks to you in your holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

O Lord, hear our prayer;

And let our cry come to you.

O Lord our God, accept the fervent prayers of your people; in the multitude of your mercies, look with compassion upon us and all who turn to you for help; for you are gracious, O lover of souls, and to you we give glory, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen. 

O Lord, hear our prayer;

And let our cry come to you.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen.

2 Corinthians 13:14

Let us bless the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

God’s Highway

My feet are strong, my eyes are clear

I cannot see the way from here

But on we go, he knows the way

In His arms he keeps me safe

Fear not, keep on, watch and pray

Walk in the light of God's highway

The shadows flee, the valley is deep

But evil cannot conquer me

Thy rod and staff, they protect me

You give me rest, you give me peace

I see the shore, the troubled seas

The tiny ship that carries me

It is not yet, but it will be

So heaven come, it's you we need

I'm holding onto you, Lord

You're holding onto me

O God, make speed to save us.
O Lord, make haste to help us.
My heart tells of your word, ‘Seek my face.’
Your face, Lord, will I seek.

See Your Love

God so loved the world that He gave His only Son
That believers shall receive His life…. His life
We who do believe have been called to do His work
Be His hands and be His feet, His love…His love
As a city on a hill, we will shine before all men

Be the song that we sing, be the story
Be the One we proclaim
For all to see, all to see Your love
For the sake of Your name, for Your glory
Living lives You have changed
For all to see, all to see Your love

The world that God so loved, we are in it but not of
Made holy through His righteousness, oh yes
We who have been called out of darkness into light
Are compelled to live the love of Jesus Christ

Ps. 5:7 & 12 & Ps. 5:11

By your great love oh Lord, I can come into your house; in reverence I bow down toward your holy temple.
Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
Let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

Psalm 1

1 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. 3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers. 4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

Psalm 3

A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom.

1 Lord, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me! 2 Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.”
3 But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. 4 I call out to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain. 5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. 6 I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.
7 Arise, Lord! Deliver me, my God!Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked. 8 From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.

My Soul Finds Rest

Oh my God hear my cry
From the depths I call out to you
You give your mercy and light
In the dark, in the wilderness

My soul finds rest in God alone
My salvation comes from him
My soul finds rest, God is my home
I will not be shaken, I will not be shaken

You are my shield and my strength
Train my feet for this battle
Our God is mighty to save
I will wait, I will wait for him

O my strength, I sing praise to You
O my strength, I sing praise to You
In joy or pain, I sing praise to You
Night or day, I sing praise to You

Prayers

Psalm 4

Answer me when I call to you, 
my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress; 
have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
In peace I will lie down and sleep,    
for you alone, Lord, 
make me dwell in safety.

As we think of those in need, as we think of those who are suffering, as we think of our own needs, we pray these words:
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
Amen.

You did not choose me but I chose you
and I appointed you to go out and bear fruit, fruit that shall last.
Alleluia.

Almighty Father,
whom truly to know is eternal life:
teach us to know your Son Jesus Christ
as the way, the truth, and the life;
that we may follow the steps
   of your holy apostles Philip and James,
and walk steadfastly in the way that leads to your glory;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your Name,
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And 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.

May Christ our Saviour give us peace.
Amen.

Good Good Father

I've heard a thousand stories of
what they think you're like
But I've heard the tender whispers
of love in the dead of night
And you tell me that you're pleased
And that I'm never alone

You’re a good good father
It’s who you are, it’s who you are, it’s who you are
And I’m loved by you
It’s who I am, it’s who I am, it’s who I am

I've seen many searching
for answers far and wide
But I know we're all searching
For answers only you provide
'Cause you know just what we need
Before we say a word

Bridge:
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways to us

Risen One,
we rose today by your mercy,
and we have come to the end of the day by way of your faithfulness.
Let our prayer be set forth in your sight as incense,
And let the lifting up of our hands be an evening sacrifice.
Let us pray with one heart and mind.

Silence is kept (taking 5 deep breaths - 3 count inhale | 5 count exhale)

O Lord, open our lips;
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.

Open Prayers

As Jesus taught us, so we pray:

THE LORD’S PRAYER

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your Name,
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And 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.

A Benediction
(based on the words of Henri Frederic Amiel {1821-1881})

My sisters and brothers in Christ: 
Our time here is short 
and we don’t have long to gladden the hearts 
of those who journal the way with us. 
So make haste to love, 
be quick to be kind, 
to laugh and sing and dance, 
like the saints you are. 
And may the blessing of God 
who made us,
who loves us,
and who travels with us
be with you now and forever.
Amen.

(If you prefer a PDF version click here)

O God, make speed to save us; 
O Lord, make haste to help us. 

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; 
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

 Psalm 126

1  When the Lord overturned the captivity of Zion, then were we like those who dream.
2  Then was our mouth filled with laughter and our tongue with shouts of joy.

3  Then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.”
4  Indeed, the Lord has done great things for us already, whereof we rejoice.

5  Overturn our captivity, O Lord, as when streams refresh the deserts of the south.
6  Those who sow in tears shall reap with songs of joy.

7  He who goes on his way weeping and bears good seed 
shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him. 

1 Corinthians 5:17-18

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. 

This is the Word of the Lord. 
Thanks be to God.

I will bless the Lord at all times.
His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 

Lord, have mercy upon us. 
Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, 
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven. 
Give us today our daily bread. 
And 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 for ever. Amen.

Let us pray. 

PRAYERS

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

For the care of children 
Almighty God, heavenly Father, you have blessed us with the joy and care of children: Give us calm strength and patient wisdom so to train them, that they may love all that is true, and pure, and lovely, and of good report, following the example of their Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. 

For inner renewal through the word 
Gracious God and most merciful Father, you have granted us the rich and precious jewel of your holy Word: Assist us with your Spirit, that the same Word may be written in our hearts
to our everlasting comfort, to reform us, to renew us according to your own image, to build us up and edify us into the perfect dwelling place of your Christ, sanctifying and increasing in us all heavenly virtues; grant this, O heavenly Father, for Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen. 

For christ to be formed in us 
Lord Jesus, Master Carpenter of Nazareth, on the Cross through wood and nails you wrought our full salvation: Wield well
your tools in this, your workshop, that we who come to you rough-hewn may be fashioned into a truer beauty by your hand; who with the Father and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, world without end. Amen. 

Collect for 3rd Sunday of Easter
Almighty God, you gave your only Son to be for us both a sacrifice for sin and an example of godly living: Give us grace thankfully to receive his inestimable benefits, and daily to follow the blessed steps of his most holy life; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.  Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God,
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen.

Perfect in your ways Dsus

You make all things new,
That’s why we praise you (2x)

Hungry
Kathryn Scott

Hungry, I come to You
For I know You satisfy
I am empty, but I know
Your love does not run dry.
And so I wait for You,
So I wait for You.

I'm falling on my knees,
offering all of me.
Jesus, You're all this heart is living for.

Broken, I run to You,
For Your arms are open wide;
I am weary, but I know
Your touch restores my life.
And so I wait for You,
So I wait for You.

Psalm 111

1 Praise the Lord!
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,
in the company of the upright, in the congregation.
2 Great are the works of the Lord,
studied by all who delight in them.
3 Full of splendor and majesty is his work,
and his righteousness endures forever.

We thank you, Lord!

4 He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered;
the Lord is gracious and merciful.
5 He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever.
6 He has shown his people the power of his works,
in giving them the inheritance of the nations.
7 The works of his hands are faithful and just;
all his precepts are trustworthy;
8 they are established forever and ever,
to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.

We thank you, Lord!

9 He sent redemption to his people;
he has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and awesome is his name!
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever!

We thank you, Lord!

Holy and Anointed One
John Barnett

Jesus, Jesus, Holy and Anointed One, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, Risen and Exalted One, Jesus

Your name is like honey on my lips
Your Spirit like water to my soul
Your Word is a lamp unto my feet
Jesus, I love You, I love You

WORD: 1 Peter 1:3-9

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
According to his great mercy,
he has caused us to be born again
to a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading,
kept in heaven for you,
5 who by God’s power
are being guarded through faith
for a salvation ready to be revealed
in the last time.
6 In this you rejoice,
though now for a little while, if necessary,
you have been grieved by various trials,
7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith
—more precious than gold that perishes
though it is tested by fire—
may be found to result
in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
8 Though you have not seen him, you love him.
Though you do not now see him, you believe in him
and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory,
9 obtaining the outcome of your faith,
the salvation of your souls.

Hallelujah! What a Saviour
Philip Bliss / Urban Hymnal

“Man of Sorrows!” what a name
For the Son of God, who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim.
Hallelu - jah! What a Sa    -    vior!

Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned He stood;
Sealed my pardon with His blood.
Hallelujah! What a Sa    -    vior!

Guilty, vile, and helpless we;
Spotless Lamb of God was He;
“Full atonement!” can it be?
Hallelu - jah! What a Sa    -    vior!  

Lifted up was He to die;
“It is finished!” was His cry
Now in Heav’n exalted high.
Hallelu - jah! What a Sa    -    vior! 

When He comes, our glorious King,
All His ransomed home to bring,
Then anew His song we’ll sing:
Hallelu - jah! What a Sa    -    vior!

Assurance of Forgiveness

Be Merciful to Me
Caedmon’s Call

Out from the deep I call
To thee oh Lord to thee
Before thy throne I fall
Be merciful to me

Be merciful to me
Be merciful to me
Through shadow dark and valley deep
Be merciful to me

From the garden to the cross
Thy mercy did endure

My soul purged from all dross
In blood made pure

Thy mercy Lord is true
As ever truth could be
But still I cry for you
Be merciful to me

Death is swallowed up in victory
Where, O death, is your sting?

Christ is risen from the dead,
The first fruits of those who have fallen asleep 
Death is swallowed up in victory

The trumpet will sound
And the dead shall be raised
Where, O death, is your sting?

We shall not all sleep,
But we shall be changed.
Death is swallowed up in victory.
Where, O death, is your sting?

Nothing But The Blood
Robert Lowry, 1876

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

This is all my righteousness.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
This is all my hope and peace.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Tithes and Offerings

‘Tis So Sweet... Louisa
M. R. Stead & William J. Kirkpatrick circa 1882

‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
And to take Him at His word
Just to rest upon His promise
And to know, “Thus says the Lord.”

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
O for grace to trust Him more 


O how sweet to trust in Jesus,

Just to trust His cleansing blood;

And in simple faith to plunge me
’
Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
J
ust from sin and self to cease;

Just from Jesus simply taking

Life and rest, and joy and peace.

I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,

Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;

And I know that Thou art with me,

Wilt be with me to the end.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.

PSALM 117

1 Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples.
2 For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

10,000 Reasons

Bless the Lord oh my soul
Oh my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I'll worship Your Holy name

The sun comes up
It's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may come
And whatever lies before me
Let me be singing
When the evening comes

You're rich in love
And You're slow to anger
Your name is great
And Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness
I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons
For my heart to find
Bless the Lord oh my soul
Oh my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I'll worship Your Holy name

And on that day
When my strength is failing
The end draws near
And my time has come
Still my soul will
Sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years
And then forevermore

Psalm 118

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.
2 Let Israel say: 
“His love endures forever.”
3 Let the house of Aaron say: 
“His love endures forever.”
4 Let those who fear the Lord say: 
“His love endures forever.”
5 When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord;  
he brought me into a spacious place.
6 The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. 
What can mere mortals do to me?
7 The Lord is with me; he is my helper.  
I look in triumph on my enemies.
8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans.
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.
10 All the nations surrounded me, 
but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
11 They surrounded me on every side, 
but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
12 They swarmed around me like bees, but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns; 
in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
13 I was pushed back and about to fall, 
but the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and my defense; 
he has become my salvation.
15 Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous:
“The Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!
16 The Lord’s right hand is lifted high; 
the Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!”
17 I will not die but live, 
and will proclaim what the Lord has done.
18 The Lord has chastened me severely,
 but he has not given me over to death.
19 Open for me the gates of the righteous; 
I will enter and give thanks to the Lord.
20 This is the gate of the Lord through which the righteous may enter.
21 I will give you thanks, for you answered me;  
you have become my salvation.
22 The stone the builders
rejected has become the cornerstone;
23 the Lord has done this, 
and it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 The Lord has done it this very day; 
let us rejoice today and be glad.
25 Lord, save us! Lord, grant us success!
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. 
From the house of the Lord we bless you
27 The Lord is God, and he has made his light shine on us.
With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession up to the horns of the altar.
28 You are my God, and I will praise you; 
you are my God, and I will exalt you.
29 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; 
his love endures forever.

King of GlorY

I know a place where I can find You
Here in the valley of the shadows
Give me eyes to see where You're leading me

I know a place where I can feel You
Here in the freedom of forgiveness
Give me strength to hold fast to what I know

You restore my soul, I'm Yours alone
Oh King of Glory
When dark gives way to light, your hope will rise
Oh King of Glory

I know a place where I can hear You
Your truth is a whisper in the chaos
Give me faith to stand
Strong in this rushing wind

You restore my soul, I'm Yours alone
Oh King of Glory
When dark gives way to light, your hope will rise
Oh King of Glory

Surely goodness, and mercy
Follow me
Every moment 
I will dwell with You

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. JOHN 15:4-5

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7

Prayers may be offered for ourselves and others.

THE 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. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.

THE COLLECT

Blessed Savior, at this hour you hung upon the Cross, stretching out your loving arms: Grant that all the peoples of the earth may look to you and be saved; for your tender mercies’ sake. Amen.

How excellent is your mercy, O God! The children of men shall take refuge under the shadow of your wings. For with you is the well of life, and in your light shall we see light. PSALM 36:7, 9

Our God Alone

Who formed the mountains?
And filled the oceans?
Our God alone (2x)
Who took the dust and 
breathed life in us?
Our God alone (2x)

(repeat from beginning)

Allelluia

Who came from heaven
For our redemption?
Our God alone (2x)
Who died for sin
That we may live?
Our God alone (2x)

Alleluia

Who rose again
Death could not win?
Our God alone(2x)
Who is returning
Bringing a Kingdom?
Our God alone(2x)
We will worship, We will worship
Our God alone (2x)

Song: Collect for Purity

O Lord...to You our hearts are open
To You our thoughts are known
From You no secret's hidden

Purif - y my heart
Purif - y my heart
That I may bring glory
That I may bring glory
That I may bring glory to You

The Lord almighty grant us a quiet night and a perfect end.
Amen.
Our help is in the name of the Lord
who made heaven and earth.

Song: Confession

Lord, we confess that we have sinned
Against you and each other
In thought and in word and deed we’ve failed,
And not loved as we should
Have mercy on us,
And forgive us our sin,
That we may delight in your will and walk in your ways To the glory of Christ, your Son, our Lord
A - men

O God, make speed to save us.
O Lord, make haste to help us.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning 
is now and shall be for ever. Amen.

Canticle

Our hope is not in vain,
because God’s love has been poured into our hearts. Alleluia.

1 God reckons as righteous those who believe,
who believe in him who raised Jesus from the dead; 

2 For Christ was handed over to death for our sins,
and raised to life for our justification.

3 Since we are justified by faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 

4 Through Christ we have gained access
to the grace in which we stand,
and rejoice in our hope of the glory of God.

5 We even exult in our sufferings,
for suffering produces endurance, 

6 And endurance brings hope,
and our hope is not in vain,

7 Because God’s love has been poured into our hearts,
through the Holy Spirit, given to us. 

8 God proves his love for us:
while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

9 Since we have been justified by his death,
how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath.

10 Therefore, we exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
in whom we have now received our reconciliation.

– Romans 4.24, 25; 5.1-5, 8, 9, 11

Our hope is not in vain,
because God’s love has been poured into our hearts. Alleluia.

A reading: John 15:1-8

‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine-grower. He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more fruit. You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.

The Lord is my strength and my song: he has become my salvation.
The Lord is my strength and my song: he has become my salvation.

I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
He has become my salvation.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
The Lord is my strength and my song: he has become my salvation.

Song: We Abide in You

We are the vineyard You have planted
Tend our leaves and wild branches
We abide, we abide in You
We abide, we abide in You

Fruit growing from our strength and labor
Rain on us with grace and favor
We abide, we abide in You
We abide, we abide in You

Where can my soul find living water?
Apart from You, we bear no fruit
O plant my feet down by the river
We abide, we abide in You

Alleluia. The Lord is risen, alleluia,
as he promised to you.
Alleluia, alleluia.

1 Now, Lord, you let your servant go in peace:
your word has been fulfilled.
2 My own eyes have seen the salvation
which you have prepared in the sight of every people;
3 A light to reveal you to the nations and the glory of your people Israel.
Luke 2.29-32

Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and shall be for ever. Amen.

Alleluia. The Lord is risen,
alleluia, as he promised to you.
Alleluia, alleluia.

Intercession & Thanksgiving

Song: Depart in Peace

Oh God,
as you have promised now let your servants...
depart in peace
depart in peace

For our eyes
have seen the salvation which you have prepared........
for all to see for all to see

A light
to enlighten the world and for your people...
glo-ry...glo-ry

So depart in peace, depart in peace (x2)

In peace we will lie down and sleep;
for you alone, Lord, make us dwell in safety.
Abide with us, Lord Jesus,
for the night is at hand and the day is now past.
As the night watch looks for the morning,
so do we look for you, O Christ.

May the risen Lord Jesus bless us.
May he watch over us and renew us
as he renews the whole of creation.
May our hearts and lives echo his love.
Amen.

‘Tis So Sweet

'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,  
And to take him at his word;   
Just to rest upon his promise,
And to know, "Thus saith the Lord."  
O how sweet to trust in Jesus, 
Just to trust his cleansing blood; 
And in simple faith to plunge me 
Neath the healing, cleansing flood! 

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him!    
How I've proved him o'er and o'er!  
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! 

O for grace to trust him more! 

Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus, 

Just from sin and self to cease; 

Just from Jesus simply taking 

Life and rest, and joy and peace. 

I'm so glad I learned to trust thee, 

Precious Jesus, Savior, friend; 

And I know that thou art with me, 

Wilt be with me to the end. 

O God, make speed to save us; 

O Lord, make haste to help us. 

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

PSALM 119:105-112

105 Your word is a lantern to my feet*

and a light upon my path.

106 I have sworn and am steadfastly purposed*

to keep your righteous judgments.

107 I am troubled above measure;*

revive me, O Lord, according to your word.

108 Let the freewill offerings of my mouth please you, O Lord;*

and teach me your judgments.

109 My life is always in my hand,*

yet I do not forget your law.

110 The ungodly have laid a snare for me,*

yet I have not strayed from your commandments.

111 Your testimonies have I claimed as my heritage for ever,*

and why? They are the very joy of my heart.

112 I have applied my heart to fulfill your statutes always,*

    even unto the end.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.  Amen.

Psalm 119:129–152

Pe

129 Your testimonies are wonderful;

therefore my soul keeps them.

130 The unfolding of your words gives light;

it imparts understanding to the simple.

131 I open my mouth and pant,

because I long for your commandments.

132 Turn to me and be gracious to me,

as is your way with those who love your name.

133 Keep steady my steps according to your promise,

and let no iniquity get dominion over me.

134 Redeem me from man's oppression,

that I may keep your precepts.

135 Make your face shine upon your servant,

and teach me your statutes.

136 My eyes shed streams of tears,

because people do not keep your law.

Tsadh

137 Righteous are you, O LORD,

and right are your rules.

138 You have appointed your testimonies in righteousness

and in all faithfulness.

139 My zeal consumes me,

because my foes forget your words.

140 Your promise is well tried,

and your servant loves it.

141 I am small and despised,

yet I do not forget your precepts.

142 Your righteousness is righteous forever,

and your law is true.

143 Trouble and anguish have found me out,

but your commandments are my delight.

144 Your testimonies are righteous forever;

give me understanding that I may live.

Qoph

145 With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O LORD!

I will keep your statutes.

146 I call to you; save me,

that I may observe your testimonies.

147 I rise before dawn and cry for help;

I hope in your words.

148 My eyes are awake before the watches of the night,

that I may meditate on your promise.

149 Hear my voice according to your steadfast love;

O LORD, according to your justice give me life.

150 They draw near who persecute me with evil purpose;

they are far from your law.

151 But you are near, O LORD,

and all your commandments are true.

152 Long have I known from your testimonies

that you have founded them forever. 

The Word of the Lord. 

Thanks be to God.

I will bless the Lord at all times.

His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 

Let us pray:

Lord, have mercy. 

Christ, have mercy.

Lord, have mercy.

Our Father in heaven, 

hallowed be your Name, 

your kingdom come, 

your will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven. 

Give us today our daily bread. 

And 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 for ever. Amen.

Almighty and everlasting God, who in the Paschal mystery established the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ’s Body may show forth in their lives what they profess by their faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

O Holy Spirit, beloved of my soul, I adore you. Enlighten me, guide me, strengthen me, console me. Tell me what I should do; give me your orders. I promise to submit myself to all that you desire of me and to accept all that you permit to happen to me. Let me only know your will. Amen. 

O Lord, hear our prayer;

And let our cry come to you.

Most loving Father, you will us to give thanks for all things, to dread nothing but the loss of you, and to cast all our care onthe One who cares for us. Preserve us from faithless fears and worldly anxieties, and grant that no clouds of this mortal life may hide from us the light of that love which is immortal, and which you have manifested unto us in your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

O Lord, hear our prayer;

And let our cry come to you.

Dear Lord and Savior Jesus Christ: I hold up all my weakness to your strength, my failure to your faithfulness, my sinfulness to your perfection, my loneliness to your compassion, my little pains to your great agony on the Cross. I pray that you will cleanse me, strengthen me, guide me, so that in all ways my life may be lived as you would have it lived, without cowardice and for you alone. Show me how to live in true humility, true contrition, and true love. Amen. 

O Lord, hear our prayer;

And let our cry come to you.

Heavenly Father, you have promised to hear what we ask in the Name of your Son: Accept and fulfill our petitions, we pray, not as we ask in our ignorance, nor as we deserve in our sinfulness, but as you know and love us in your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

O Lord, hear our prayer;

And let our cry come to you.

Blessed Savior, at this hour you hung upon the Cross, stretching our your loving arms: Grant that all the peoples of the earth may look to you and be saved; for your tender mercies’ sake.  Amen.

Pour your grace into our hearts, O Lord, that we who have known the incarnation of your Son Jesus Christ, announced by an angel to the Virgin Mary, may by his Cross and passion be brought to the glory of his resurrection; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Let us bless the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Build My LifeWorthy of every song we could ever sing
Worthy of all the praise we could ever bring
Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe
We live for You

Jesus a name above every other name
Jesus the only one that could ever save
Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe
We live for You, we live for You

Holy there is no one like You, there is none beside You
Open up my eyes in wonder
Show me who You are, and fill me with your heart
And lead me in Your love to those around me

I will build my life, upon Your love, it is a firm foundation
I will put my trust, in You, oh Lord, and I will not be shaken

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen.

Tuesday Evening Prayer - Eastertide (April 21)

(If you prefer a PDF version click here)

*Prep: a journal for lectio, a candle and a pillow for kneeling if desired

Risen One,
we rose today by your mercy,
and we have come to the end of the day by way of your faithfulness.
Let our prayer be set forth in your sight as incense,
And let the lifting up of our hands be an evening sacrifice.

Let us pray with one heart and mind.

Silence is kept (taking 5 deep breaths - 3 count inhale | 5 count exhale)

O Lord, open our lips;
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.

Lectio Divina 

Gratitude 

Let us give thanks to God our Creator always and for everything, saying, “We thank you, God.”

For the beauty and wonder of creation,
We thank you, God.

For all that is gracious in the lives of all people, revealing the image of Christ,
We thank you, God.

For our daily food, for our homes and families, community and friends,
We thank you, God.

For minds to think and hearts to love,
We thank you, God.

For health, strength, and skill to work, and for leisure to rest and play,
We thank you, God.

For those who are brave and courageous, patient in suffering and faithful in adversity,
We thank you, God.

For all who pursue peace, justice, and truth,
We thank you, God.

I invite your spoken or silent prayers of gratitude…
[together we say] We thank you, God.

For (. . . and) all the saints whose lives have reflected the light of Christ,
We thank you, God.

Open Prayers

As Jesus taught us, so we pray:

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your Name,
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And 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.

Blessing:

You keep them in perfect peace whose minds are stayed on you,
because they trust in you.
May your minds be stayed on God tonight.
Trust in God for ever, 
For the Lord God is an everlasting rock.
Amen.

Monday Midday Prayer (April 20)

(If you prefer a PDF version click here)

O God, make speed to save us; 
O Lord, make haste to help us. 

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; 
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

 Psalm 124

1  If the Lord himself had not been on our side, now may Israel say:
if the Lord himself had not been on our side, when men
rose up against us,

2  Then would they have swallowed us up alive,
when they were so wrathfully displeased with us;

3  Then the waters would have drowned us, and the torrent
gone over us;
then the raging waters would have gone clean over us.

4  But praised be the Lord,
who has not given us over to be prey for their teeth.

5  We escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowler; 

the snare is broken, and we have been delivered.

6  Our help is in the Name of the Lord, 

the maker of heaven and earth. 

Mark 12:38-13:2 NIV

38 As he taught, Jesus said, “Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, 39 and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. 40 They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”

41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.

43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”

13:1 As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!”

2 “Do you see all these great buildings?” replied Jesus. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

This is the Word of the Lord. 
Thanks be to God.

I will bless the Lord at all times.
His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 

Lord, have mercy upon us. 
Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, 
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven. 
Give us today our daily bread. 
And 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 for ever. Amen.

Let us pray. 

PRAYERS

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

For the Discouraged and Downcast
O God, almighty and merciful, you heal the broken-hearted, and turn the sadness of the sorrowful to joy, Let your fatherly goodness be upon all whom you have made. Remember in pity all those who are this day destitute, homeless, elderly, infirm, or forgotten. Bless the multitude of your poor. Lift up those who are cast down. Mightily befriend innocent sufferers, and sanctify to them the endurance of their wrongs. Cheer with hope all who are discouraged and downcast, and by your heavenly grace preserve from falling those whose poverty tempts them to sin. Though they be troubled on every side, suffer them not to be distressed; though they are perplexed, save them from despair. Grant this, O Lord, for the love of him who for our sakes became poor, your Son our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. 

For Prisoners
O God, you forgive when we deserve punishment, and in
your wrath you remember mercy: We humbly ask you, of your goodness, to comfort all prisoners [and especially those who are condemned to die]. Give them a right understanding of themselves, and of your promises, that trusting wholly in your mercy, they may not place their confidence anywhere but in you. Relieve the distressed; deliver the innocent; bring the guilty to repentance; and as you alone bring light out of darkness, and good out of evil, grant that by the power of your Holy Spirit they may be set free from the chains of sin, and brought to newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

For those Afflicted with Mental Suffering
Almighty God, whose Son took upon himself the afflictions
of your people: Regard with your tender compassion those suffering from anxiety, depression, or mental illness especially in the season of this pandemic; bear their sorrows and their cares; supply all their needs; help them to put their whole trust and confidence in you; and restore them to strength of mind and cheerfulness of spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

Collect for 2nd Sunday of Easter
Almighty and everlasting God, who in the Paschal (Passover/Easter) mystery established the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ’s Body may show forth in their lives what they profess by their faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.  Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God,
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen.

O Lord, open our lips
and our mouth will proclaim your praise.
In your resurrection, O Christ,
let heaven and earth rejoice. Alleluia.

Christ our passover has been sacrificed for us: 
so let us celebrate the feast, not with the old leaven of corruption and wickedness: 
but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.Christ once raised from the dead dies no more: 
death has no more dominion over him.
In dying he died to sin once for all: 
in living he lives to God.
See yourselves therefore as dead to sin: 
and alive to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Christ has been raised from the dead: 
the first fruits of those who sleep.
For as by man came death: 
by man has come also the resurrection of the dead;
for as in Adam all die: 
even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and shall be for ever. Amen.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

1 PETER 1:3

Psalm 16 (The Message)1-2 Keep me safe, O God,    I’ve run for dear life to you.
I say to God, “Be my Lord!”    Without you, nothing makes sense.

3 And these God-chosen lives all around—    what splendid friends they make!

4 Don’t just go shopping for a god.    Gods are not for sale.
I swear I’ll never treat god-names    like brand-names.

5-6 My choice is you, God, first and only.    And now I find I’m your choice!
You set me up with a house and yard.    And then you made me your heir!

7-8 The wise counsel God gives when I’m awake    is confirmed by my sleeping heart.
Day and night I’ll stick with God;    I’ve got a good thing going and I’m not letting go.

9-10 I’m happy from the inside out,    and from the outside in, I’m firmly formed.
You canceled my ticket to hell—    that’s not my destination!

11 Now you’ve got my feet on the life path,    all radiant from the shining of your face.
Ever since you took my hand,    I’m on the right way.

1 Corinthians 15:51 to 58 (The Message)

51-57 But let me tell you something wonderful, a mystery I’ll probably never fully understand.
We’re not all going to die—but we are all going to be changed. You hear a blast to end all blasts from a trumpet, and in the time that you look up and blink your eyes—it’s over. On signal from that trumpet from heaven, the dead will be up and out of their graves, beyond the reach of death, never to die again. At the same moment and in the same way, we’ll all be changed. In the resurrection scheme of things, this has to happen: everything perishable taken off the shelves and replaced by the imperishable, this mortal replaced by the immortal. Then the saying will come true:

Death swallowed by triumphant Life!
Who got the last word, oh, Death?
Oh, Death, who’s afraid of you now?

It was sin that made death so frightening and law-code guilt that gave sin its leverage, its destructive power. But now in a single victorious stroke of Life, all three—sin, guilt, death—are gone, the gift of our Master, Jesus Christ. Thank God!

58 With all this going for us, my dear, dear friends, stand your ground. And don’t hold back. Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for him is a waste of time or effort.

Death is swallowed up in victory.
Where, O death, is your sting?
Christ is risen from the dead,
the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
Death is swallowed up in victory.
The trumpet will sound
and the dead shall be raised.
Where, O death, is your sting?
We shall not all sleep,
but we shall be changed.
Death is swallowed up in victory.
Where, O death, is your sting?

Psalm 46 Jenny & Tyler
The Lord, is my refuge and strength
Therefore I will not be afraid
Though the mountains give way
And fall into the sea
He will come and rescue me. 

The Lord comes to me at break of day
He reaches down to guide me in His way
Though the oceans roar
In this dark and stormy sea
He will come and rescue me.

 Hallelujah, He is with me
Hallelujah, we cannot be moved
Hallelujah, He is with me
Hallelujah, I rest secure

 Be still and know that he is God
He will be exalted over all
Come and behold, His strength and majesty
Yet He will come and rescue me

Prayers
On this day that the Lord has made,
let us pray for the people he has redeemed.
That we may live as those who believe in the triumph of the cross: Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
That all people may receive the good news of his victory: Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
That those born to new life in the waters of baptism may know the power of his resurrection: Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
That those who suffer pain and anguish, especially those suffering from COVID 19, may find healing and peace in the wounds of Christ: Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
That in the undying love of Christ
we may be united with all who have died in the faith of Christ: Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Let us commend the world, with all it’s current suffering and in which Christ rose from the dead,
to the mercy and protection of God.
Amen.

Let us pray together as Jesus taught us:
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.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen.

Lord of all life and power,
who through the mighty resurrection of your Son
overcame the old order of sin and death
to make all things new in him:
grant that we, being dead to sin
and alive to you in Jesus Christ,
may reign with him in glory;
to whom with you and the Holy Spirit
be praise and honour, glory and might,
now and in all eternity.
Amen.

May the risen Christ grant us the joys of eternal life.
Amen.
Let us bless the Lord. Alleluia, alleluia.
Thanks be to God. Alleluia, alleluia.

We Will Feast in the House
We will feast in the house of Zion
We will sing with our hearts restored
He has done great things, we will say together
We will feast and weep no more 

We will not be burned by the fire
He is the LORD our God
We are not consumed, by the flood
Upheld, protected, gathered up (Chorus) 

In the dark of night, before the dawn
My soul, be not afraid
For the promised morning, oh how long?
Oh God of Jacob, be my strength (Chorus)

 Every vow we’ve broken and betrayed
You are the Faithful one
And from the garden to the grave
Bind us together, bring shalom. (Chorus)

Night Prayer (April 16)

Oh Death (Oh Christ!)
Noah Gunderson (adapted by The Table)

When death and all his angels found him,
He went down, He went down

When death and all his angels caught him,
He got out, He got out

It was the end of the line
But then He came to life
Now we're never alone
And He will bring us home
He gave up His life, He came to life

No, the cross, it could not break him
He broke out, He broke out

No, the ground, it could could not hold him
He broke out, He broke out

Oh death, oh death You have lost your sting!

It was the end of the line
But then He came to life
Now we're never alone
And He will bring us home
He gave up His life, He came to life

Oh Christ, oh Christ Our risen king!

The Lord almighty grant us a quiet night and a perfect end.
Amen.
Our help is in the name of the Lord
who made heaven and earth.

Most merciful God,
we confess to you,
before the whole company of heaven and one another,
that we have sinned in thought, word and deed
and in what we have failed to do.

Forgive us our sins,
heal us by your Spirit
and raise us to new life in Christ.
Amen.

O God, make speed to save us.
O Lord, make haste to help us.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning 
is now and shall be for ever. Amen.

Psalm 104

A reading

The servants of the Lamb shall see the face of God, whose name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night: they will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for God will be their light, and they will reign for ever and ever. — Revelation 22.4,5

Light of Jesus
Josh Banner

Light of Jesus, dawned upon us
Burn through darkness, Hope to fill us
Where can we go? But to You, oh Lord
Where can we go? But to You, but to You

Creation groans for mercy, oh Son of Man
We groan for our redemption, oh Son of God
You are the light of heaven, our highest hope
Where can we go? But to You, but to You

Light of true Light from the Father
Word made flesh here, walk among us
Where can we go? But to You, oh Lord
Where can we go? But to You, but to You

You are the way to heaven, eternal light
You are the resurrection, our living bread
Your body broken for us, to give us life
Where can we go? 
But to You, oh Lord (x3)
      but to You….

Alleluia. The Lord is risen, alleluia,
as he promised to you.
Alleluia, alleluia.

1 Now, Lord, you let your servant go in peace:
your word has been fulfilled.
2 My own eyes have seen the salvation
which you have prepared in the sight of every people;
3 A light to reveal you to the nations and the glory of your people Israel.
Luke 2.29-32

Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and shall be for ever. Amen.

Alleluia. The Lord is risen,
alleluia, as he promised to you.
Alleluia, alleluia.

Intercession & Thanksgiving

Return to Your Rest, My Soul (Ps 116:1-9)  
Mac Meador

Out of darkness, I came 
stumbling, tearful and lame
carried to sunshine,
out past the tree line  

You heard my whimpering cries,
you saw the tears in my eyes 
but you didn't forget me 
or the pain that beset me   

Return to your rest, my soul
for the Lord comes to make you whole   

The cords of death wrapped around me 
No light of your life could I see 
For the shackles were binding 
and the darkness was blinding  

I desperately called on your name 
In kindness and love, Lord you came 
You are gracious and righteous 
You bring hope to the lifeless

**Oh, my soul…return to our Lord

In peace we will lie down and sleep;
for you alone, Lord, make us dwell in safety.
Abide with us, Lord Jesus,
for the night is at hand and the day is now past.
As the night watch looks for the morning,
so do we look for you, O Christ.

May the risen Lord Jesus bless us.
May he watch over us and renew us
as he renews the whole of creation.
May our hearts and lives echo his love.
Amen.

Wednesday Midday Prayer (April 15)

(If you prefer a PDF version click here)

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

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

See from his head his hands his feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown

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 to his blood

Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing so divine
Demands my soul my life my all

O God, make speed to save us; 
O Lord, make haste to help us. 

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

PSALM 119:105-112

105 Your word is a lantern to my feet*
and a light upon my path.

106 I have sworn and am steadfastly purposed*
to keep your righteous judgments.

107 I am troubled above measure;*
revive me, O Lord, according to your word.

108 Let the freewill offerings of my mouth please you, O Lord;*
and teach me your judgments.

109 My life is always in my hand,*
yet I do not forget your law.

110 The ungodly have laid a snare for me,*
yet I have not strayed from your commandments.

111 Your testimonies have I claimed as my heritage for ever,*
and why? They are the very joy of my heart.

112 I have applied my heart to fulfill your statutes always,*
even unto the end.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.  Amen.

Psalm 107:1–22

The Word of the Lord. 
Thanks be to God.

I will bless the Lord at all times.
His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 

Lord Have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your Name,
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And 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.

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

What a Beautiful Name

You were the Word at the beginning 
One with God the Lord Most High 
Your hidden glory in creation 
Now revealed in You our Christ 

What a beautiful Name it is 
What a beautiful Name it is 
The Name of Jesus Christ, my King
What a beautiful Name it is 
Nothing compares to 
What a beautiful Name it is 
The Name of Jesus 

You didn’t want heaven without us 
So Jesus, you brought heaven down 
My sin was great, your love was greater 
What could separate us now 

Death could not hold You
The veil tore before You 
You silence the boast of sin and grave 
The heavens are roaring 
The praise of Your glory
For You are raised to life again 

You have no rival 
You have no equal 
Now and forever God you reign 
Yours is the kingdom 
Yours is the glory
Yours is the Name above all names 

Blessing

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen.
2 Corinthians 13:14

Tuesday Evening Prayer - Eastertide (April 14)

(If you prefer a PDF version click here)

*Prep: a journal for lectio, a candle and a pillow for kneeling if desired

Risen One,
we rose today by your mercy,
and we have come to the end of the day by way of your faithfulness.
Let our prayer be set forth in your sight as incense,
And let the lifting up of our hands be an evening sacrifice.

Let us pray with one heart and mind.

Silence is kept (taking 5 deep breaths - 3 count inhale | 5 count exhale)

O Lord, open our lips;
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.

Monday Midday Prayer (April 13)

(If you prefer a PDF version click here)

O God, make speed to save us; 
O Lord, make haste to help us. 

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; 
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

 Psalm 121

1  I will lift up my eyes unto the hills; where does my help come from?
2  My help comes from the Lord, who has made heaven and earth.

3  He will not let your foot be moved, and he who keeps you will not sleep.
4  Behold, he who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5  The Lord himself is your keeper;
the Lord is your defense upon your right hand,
6  So that the sun shall not burn you by day, neither the moon by night.

7  The Lord shall preserve you from all evil;  indeed, it is he who shall keep your soul.
8  The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in,  from this time forth for evermore. 

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Mark 9:2-8

2 After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. 3 His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. 4 And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.

5 Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” 6 (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.)

7 Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!”

8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.

This is the Word of the Lord. 
Thanks be to God.

I will bless the Lord at all times.
His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 

Lord, have mercy upon us. 
Christ, have mercy upon us.

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, 
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven. 
Give us today our daily bread. 
And 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 for ever. Amen.

Let us pray. 

PRAYERS

O Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

For those we love who are absent
O God, whose fatherly care reaches to the ends of the earth: We ask you graciously to behold and bless those we love who are now absent from us. Defend them from all dangers of soul and body, and grant that both they and we, drawing nearer to you, may be bound together by your love, in the communion of your Holy Spirit and in the fellowship of your saints; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

For those who live alone
Almighty God, whose Son had nowhere to lay his head: Grant that all those who live alone may not be lonely in their solitude, but that, following in his steps, they may find fulfillment in loving you and their neighbors; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

For a person in Trouble or Bereavement
O merciful Father, you have taught us in your holy Word that you do not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men: Look with pity on the sorrows of your servants. Remember them, O Lord, in mercy; nourish their souls with patience; comfort them with a sense of your goodness; lift up your countenance upon them; and give them peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

Collect for Easter
Almighty God, who through your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord’s resurrection, may, by your life-giving Spirit, be delivered from sin and raised from death; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God,
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen.

Good Grace
People come together
Strange as neighbours
Our blood is one
Children of generations
Of every nation 
Of kingdom come 

So don't let your heart be troubled 
Hold your head up high
Don't fear no evil
Fix your eyes on this one truth 
God is madly in love with you 

So take courage
Hold on
Be strong
Remember where our help comes from 

Jesus, Our redemption
Our salvation
Is in His blood

Jesus, Light of heaven
Friend forever
His kingdom come 

Swing wide all you heavens 
Let the praise go up
As the walls come down
All creation 

Everything with breath 
Repeat the sound
All His children
Clean hands pure hearts 
Good grace good 
His name is Jesus.

How Marvellous
I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene
And wonder how He could love me
A sinner condemned unclean

How marvelous, how wonderful
And my song shall ever be
How marvelous, how wonderful
Is my Saviour’s love for me

He took my sins and my sorrows
He made them His very own
He bore the burden to Calvary
And suffered and died alone       

When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see
‘Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me

OPENING WORDS

Who will roll away the stone from his tomb?
The stone has been rolled back! He is not here!

Who is it that you seek?
We seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified.

He is risen! He is not here!
He is risen indeed! Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

Almighty God,
long-suffering and of great goodness:
I confess to you,
I confess with my whole heart
my neglect and forgetfulness of your commandments,
my wrong doing, thinking, and speaking;
the hurts I have done to others,
and the good I have left undone.
O God, forgive me, for I have sinned against you;
and raise me to newness of life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. 
Amen.

ABSOLUTION

What wondrous Love is This?
What wondrous love is this
That caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul!

What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!

When I was sinking down
Beneath God’s righteous frown,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul for my soul,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul.

When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down, 
When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down, sinking down…

And when from death I’m free 
I’ll sing His love for me,
And through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,
And through eternity I’ll sing on.

And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on; 
And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on;
And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on.
