FIRST READING    Proverbs 8.1–4, 22–31

 

PSALM        

Psalm 8

 

Lord our governor, *

          how exalted is your name in all the world!

Out of the mouths of infants and children *

          your majesty is praised above the heavens.

You have set up a stronghold against your adversaries, *

          to quell the enemy and the avenger.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, *

          the moon and the stars you have set in their courses,

What is man that you should be mindful of him? *

          the son of man that you should seek him out?

You have made him but little lower than the angels;  *

          you adorn him with glory and honour;

You give him mastery over the works of your hands; *

          you put all things under his feet;

All sheep and oxen, *

          even the wild beasts of the field,

The birds of the air, the fish of the sea, *

          and whatsoever walks in the paths of the sea.

O Lord our governor, *

          how exalted is your name in all the world!

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.

 

PEACE

 

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

Per Harlig

​

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

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.

You are holy, you are wholeness, you are present,

Let the cosmos praise you Lord!

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Our Lord!

LORD’S PRAYER                                                                                         Darryl Nixon

 

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.

 

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”  

Taste and see that the Lord is good; for we all                             We, being many, are one body,

share in the one bread                                                                    for we shall share in the bread

                                                     

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

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world:  Have mercy on us.

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world:  Have mercy on us.
