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: Speak, O Lord, As We Come To You

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

Using the response:

Lord in your mercy:

Hear our prayer!

Concluding:

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

                         

 The Collect

O God, the protector of all who trust in you,

without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy:

increase and multiply upon us your mercy;

that with you as our ruler and guide

we may so pass through things temporal

that we lose not our hold on things eternal;

grant this, heavenly Father,

for our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake,

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 I Stand Amazed In The Presence of Jesus The Nazarene
