Maundy Thursday 2020
9th April
A Service of the Word (Common Worship)
Before the service we will
play part of A New Commandment:
Welcome, notices and
introduction
Greeting
The grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be
with you.
(And also with you)
Prayers of Penitence
Our Lord Jesus Christ says:
‘If you love me, keep my
commandments.’
‘Unless I wash you, you
have no part in me.’
‘Let us confess to
almighty God our sins against his love,
and ask him to cleanse us.
Silence is kept.
Have mercy on us, O God,
in your great goodness;
according to the abundance
of your compassion
blot out our offences.
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
Against you only have we
sinned
and done what is evil in
your sight.
Christ, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Purge us from our sin and
we shall be clean;
wash us and we shall be
whiter than snow.
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
May the Father
forgive us
by the death of his Son
and strengthen us
to live in the power of
the Spirit
all our days.
Amen.
Now we will play To see the King of heaven fall [Gethsemane
Song]: You might especially want to
follow the words if it’s not familiar to you: https://www.stuarttownend.co.uk/song/gethsemane/
The Liturgy of the Word
I will be using the New
International Version (NIV) 1984, which we have in church.
The response after each
reading is:
This is the Word of the
Lord
Thanks be to God
Psalm 116
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
John 13:1-17, 31b-35
The Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the
Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
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,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come 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.
Amen.

Prayers
In the power of the Spirit let us pray to the Father
through Christ the saviour of the world.
Father,
on this, the night he was betrayed,
your Son Jesus Christ washed his disciples’ feet.
We commit ourselves to follow his example of love and
service.
Lord, hear us
and humble us.
On this night, he prayed for his disciples to be one.
We pray for the unity of your Church.
Lord, hear us
and unite us.
On this night, he prayed for those who were to believe
through his disciples’ message.
We pray for the mission of your Church.
Lord, hear us
and
renew our zeal.
On this night, he commanded his disciples to love,
but suffered rejection himself.
We pray for the rejected and unloved.
Lord, hear us
and
fill us with your love.
On this night, he reminded his disciples
that if the world hated them it hated him first.
We pray for those who are persecuted for their faith.
Lord, hear us
and give us your peace.
On this night, he accepted the cup of death
and looked forward to the new wine of the kingdom.
We remember with thanksgiving those who have died in the
peace of Christ.
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

The Dismissal
When the disciples had
sung a hymn they went out to the Mount of Olives. Jesus prayed to the Father,
‘If it is possible, take this cup of suffering from me.’ He said to his
disciples, ‘How is it that you were not able to keep watch with me for one
hour? The hour has come for the Son of Man to be handed over to the power of sinners.’
Christ was obedient unto
death. Go in his peace.
After the service we will
play part of From heaven you came / The Servant King
