Welcome Intimations Praise: CH4 179 Ye holy angels bright, Who wait at God’s right hand, Or through the realms of light Fly at your Lord’s command Assist our song, Or else the theme Too high doth seem For mortal tongue. 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 forever. Amen Children’s Talk Ye blessed souls at rest, Who ran this earthly race, And now, from sin released, Behold the Saviour’s face, His praises sound As in his light With sweet delight Ye do abound. Ye saints, who toil below, Adore your heavenly King, And onward as ye go, Some joyful anthem sing; Take what he gives And praise him still Through good and ill, Who ever lives. My soul, take now thy part, Triumph in God above, And with a well-turned heart Sing out the songs of love. Let all thy days Till life shall end, Whate’er he send, Be filled with praise. Prayers of Adoration, Confession, Supplication and Family Prayer Our Father in heaven Hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, Praise: CH4 530 One more step along the world I go, one more step along the world I go. From the old things to the new keep me travelling along with you. And it’s from the old I travel to the new. Keep me travelling along with you. Round the corners of the world I turn, more and more about the world I learn. all the new things that I see you’ll be looking at along with me. And it’s from… As I travel through the bad and good keep me travelling the way I should; where I see no way to go you’ll be telling me the way, I know. And it’s from… Give me courage when the world is rough, keep me loving though the world is tough; leap and sing in all I do, keep me travelling along with you. And it’s from… You are older than the world can be, you are younger than the life in me. ever old and ever new, keep me travelling along with you. And it’s from… Children continue worship over in “the Tent” & Studio 5/7… Reading: Ephesians 4: 7-16 Praise: CH4 478 Behold the amazing gift of love the Father has bestowed on us, in calling us his own, The children of out God! Concealed as yet this honour lies, by this dark world unknown, a world that knew not, when he came, Even God's eternal Son. High is the rank we now possess; but higher we shall rise; though what we shall hereafter be is hid from mortal eyes: Our souls, we know, when he appears, shall bear his image bright; for all his glory, full disclosed, shall open to our sight. A hope so great and so divine may trials well endure; and purge the soul from sense and sin, as Christ himself is pure. Reading: Matthew 25: 14-30 Prayers of Intercession and Commemoration Praise: CH4 603 For your gift of God the Spirit, with us, in us, always true, pledge of life and hope of glory, Saviour, we would worship you. He, who in creation's dawning brooded o'er the pathless deep, still across our nature's darkness moves to wake our souls from sleep. He it is, the living author, wakes to life the sacred word, reads with us the Bible story and reveals our risen Lord. He it is who works within us, teaching rebel hearts to pray; he whose fervent intercessions rise for us both night and day. Fill us with your grace and goodness, God the Father, Spirit, Son; in us, through us, now and always, may your perfect will be done. Sermon: Offering during which the choir will sing CH4 612 “Come to us, creative spirit” Prayers of Thanksgiving and Dedication Praise: CH4 182 Now thank we all our God, With heart and hands and voices, Who wondrous things hath done, In whom his world rejoices, Who, from our mothers’ arms, Has blessed us on our way With countless gifts of love, And still is ours today. Oh, may this bounteous God Through all our life be near us, With ever-joyful hearts And blessed peace to cheer us, And keep us in his grace, And guide us when perplexed, And free us from all ills In this world and the next. All praise and thanks to God Who reigns in highest heaven, The Father and the Son And Spirit – now be given: The one, eternal God, Whom earth and heaven adore; For thus is was, is now, And shall be evermore.
