PSALM          Psalm 33.1–12

 

Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; *

          it is good for the just to sing praises.

Praise the Lord with the harp; *

          play to him upon the psaltery and lyre.

Sing for him a new song; *

          sound a fanfare with all your skill upon the trumpet.

For the word of the Lord is right, *

          and all his works are sure.

He loves righteousness and justice; *

          the loving-kindness of the Lord fills the whole earth.

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, *

          by the breath of his mouth all the heavenly hosts.

He gathers up the waters of the ocean as in a water-skin *

          and stores up the depths of the sea.

Let all the earth fear the Lord; *

          let all who dwell in the world stand in awe of him.

For he spoke, and it came to pass; *

          he commanded, and it stood fast.

The Lord brings the will of the nations to naught; *

          he thwarts the designs of the peoples.

But the Lord’s will stands fast for ever, *

          and the designs of his heart from age to age.

Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord! *

          happy the people he has chosen to be his own!

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.

PRAYER OVER THE GIFTS

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.

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

Let the cosmos praise you Lord!

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Our Lord!

 

 

 

Lord’s Prayer                                                              Gordon Light

​

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!

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:  Grant us peace.
