ORDER OF SERVICE

Before the service we’ll play the music to the hymn O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing


Welcome, notices and introduction

Grace, mercy and peace
 from God our Father
 and the Lord Jesus Christ
 be with you
(and also with you.)
                         
 This is the day that the Lord has made.
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
                         
 Jesus says, 'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is close at hand.'
 So let us turn away from our sin and turn to Christ,
 confessing our sins in penitence and faith.
                         
Lord God,
 we have sinned against you;
 we have done evil in your sight.
 We are sorry and repent.
 Have mercy on us according to your love.
 Wash away our wrongdoing and cleanse us from our sin.
 Renew a right spirit within us
 and restore us to the joy of your salvation;
 through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
                         
 May the Father of all mercies
 cleanse you from your sins,
 and restore you in his image
 to the praise and glory of his name,
 through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
                         
Blessed is the Lord,
for he has heard the voice of our prayer;
                         
therefore shall our hearts dance for joy
and in our song will we praise our God.

Hymn: Salvation Belongs To Our God
             
 Bible reading

(We use the New International Version (NIV) 1984 in church. You can find the latest version of the NIV here: https://www.biblegateway.com/)

Acts Chapter 12 (read by Gail and Tony)

This is the word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
           
Sermon
                                     
 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          
                         
Intercessions (led by Meryl)

Using the response:

Lord, hear us!
Lord, graciously hear us!

Concluding:

Merciful Father, accept these prayers for the sake of your son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
                         
 The Collect

Almighty God,
you have broken the tyranny of sin
and have sent the Spirit of your Son into our hearts
whereby we call you Father:
give us grace to dedicate our freedom to your service,
that we and all creation may be brought
to the glorious liberty of the children of God;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The Lord's Prayer

Gathering our prayers and praises into one,
let us pray with confidence as our Saviour has taught us:
                         
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 Blessing   

After the service we will play We Have A Gospel To Proclaim
