†  THE WORD  †

 

 

FIRST READING                  Genesis 32.22–31

 

PSALM         Psalm 17.1–7, 16

 

Hear my plea of innocence, O Lord;

give heed to my cry; *

          listen to my prayer, which does not come from lying lips.

Let my vindication come forth from your presence; *

          let your eyes be fixed on justice.

Weigh my heart, summon me by night, *

          melt me down; you will find no impurity in me.

I give no offence with my mouth as others do; *

          I have heeded the words of your lips.

My footsteps hold fast to the ways of your law; *

          in your paths my feet shall not stumble.

I call upon you, O God, for you will answer me; *

          incline your ear to me and hear my words.

Show me your marvellous loving-kindness, *

          O Saviour of those who take refuge at your right hand

          from those who rise up against them.

But at my vindication I shall see your face; *

          when I awake, I shall be satisfied, beholding

          your likeness.

SERMON

 

Apostle’s Creed

​

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

​

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate,        was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.  I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION

 

Dear friends in Christ, God is steadfast in love and infinite in mercy;

God welcomes sinners and invites us to this table.

Let us confess our sins, confident in God’s forgiveness.

 

Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in

thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone.  We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.

 

For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us, that

we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your name. Amen.

​

Almighty God have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and keep you in eternal life;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

 

THE PEACE      

 

          The peace of Christ be always with you. And also with you.

You are holy, you are whole, you are always ever more             Per Harlig

Than we ever understand, you are always at hand.

Blessed are you coming near, blessed are you coming here.

To your church in wine and in the bread, raised from soil, raised

from dead.

Let the cosmos praise you Lord!

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Our Lord!

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: 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.

     

The Breaking of the Bread

 

“I am the bread of life,” says the Lord.        Or      We break this bread
“Whoever comes to me will never be hungry;      to share in the body of Christ.

whoever believes in me will never thirst.”              We, being many, are one body,

Taste and see that the Lord is good;                 for we all share in the one bread.

happy are they who trust in him!                  

 

The gifts of God for the people of God.            Thanks be to God!
