GATHERING

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

          as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever.  Amen.

 

 

 WELCOME & TERRITORIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

 

 

CONFESSION         

 

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

          Let us confess our sin in the presence of God.

         

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

Almighty God, have mercy upon us, we pray. Pardon and deliver us from all our sins, confirm and strengthen us in all goodness, and keep us in eternal life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

 

PASSING THE PEACE

 

Please stand. 

Having made our peace with God, let us offer peace to one another. 

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

Please offer each other a sign of peace.

 

OPENING PRAYER

The night has passed, and the day lies open before us; let us pray with one heart and mind.

                   Silence is kept.

As we rejoice in the gift of this new day, so may the light of your presence, O God, set our hearts on fire with love for you; now and forever.     Amen.

 

CANTICLE                   Isaiah 12:2-6

          Surely, it is God who saves me,

                   I will trust in God and not be afraid.

          For the Lord is my stronghold and my sure defence,

                   and God will be my Saviour.

          Therefore you shall draw water with rejoicing

                   from the springs of salvation.

          And on that day you shall say,

                   Give thanks to the Lord and call upon God’s name;

          Make God’s deeds known among the peoples;

                   see that they remember that God’s name is exalted.

          Sing the praises of the Lord, for God has done great things,

                   and this is known in all the world.

          Cry aloud, inhabitants of Zion, ring out your joy,

                   For the great one in the midst of you is the Holy One of                            Isreal.

 

FIRST READING       Genesis 37.1–4, 12–28

PSALM              Psalm 105.1–6, 16–22, 45c

 

Give thanks to the Lord and call upon his name; *

          make known his deeds among the peoples.

Sing to him, sing praises to him, *

          and speak of all his marvellous works.

Glory in his holy name; *

          let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.

Search for the Lord and his strength; *

          continually seek his face.

Remember the marvels he has done, *

          his wonders and the judgements of his mouth,

O offspring of Abraham his servant, *

          O children of Jacob his chosen.

Then he called for a famine in the land *

          and destroyed the supply of bread.

He sent a man before them, *

          Joseph, who was sold as a slave

They bruised his feet in fetters; *

          his neck they put in an iron collar.

Until his prediction came to pass, *

          the word of the Lord tested him

The king sent and released him; *

          the ruler of the peoples set him free.

 He set him as master over his household, *

          as a ruler over all his possessions,

To instruct his princes according to his will *

          And to teach his elders wisdom.

That they might keep his statutes *

          and observe his laws.

          Hallelujah!

 

God of our salvation, through the death and resurrection of

Jesus Christ, you have fulfilled your promise to our ancestors

in the faith to redeem the world from slavery and to lead us

into the promised land. Grant us living water from the rock and

bread from heaven, that we may survive our desert pilgrimage

and praise you for ever, through Jesus Christ our Redeemer

HEAR O ISRAEL

Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first and the great commandment.  The second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.

 Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven.

          Give us today our daily bread.

          Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.

          Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from evil.

          For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours,

          now and for ever. Amen.
