Invitation to confession
God invites us to reconciliation and holiness. Let us turn our minds,
hearts and bodies to receive the grace of reconciliation on the way
to holiness.
Silence
Lord, you created us in your own image.
Forgive us when we do not honour your image in us
and the world that you gave us. Lord have mercy.
Silence
Jesus, you invite us to be perfect
as our heavenly Father is perfect.
Forgive us when we fail to be holy to be people of integrity
and to respect human rights and dignity. Christ have mercy.
Silence
Lord of life, not of death of peace, not of war
of light, not of darkness
forgive us when we become instruments of war, death and injustice
and fail to build a community of love. Lord Have mercy.
Merciful God, Forgive us our sins, fill us with your grace and
holiness. Make us apostles of love wherever we go.
This we pray through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
May God who loved the world so much that he sent his Son to be our
Saviour, forgive you your sins and make you holy to serve him in the
world through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

This is a British educational charity with a Christian ethos, taking
married couples into secondary schools, mainly Year 10, for pupils to
quiz them on their relationship - to explore what it is like to be
married.
They are seeking married couples who would be happy to come into
school several times a year, people who could act as ‘facilitators and
people to support them by praying. If you would be interested in
finding out more, please would you contact Mrs Heather Oliver,
heatheroliver@btinternet.com or 07731-506928.
Epiphany 3
Sunday 24thJanuary 2016
We welcome everyone to our church this morning especially any
visitors from St. Andrew’s Church, Laverstock. If you are visiting, or a
newcomer to the parish, please make yourself known to a sidesperson or one of the clergy after the service as we would like to
welcome you personally.
You are invited to receive communion with us. If you would prefer a
prayer or blessing, please bring a book with you to the altar so that
we shall know. If you would like to receive communion in your pew
please let a churchwarden know before the service begins.
Should you wish to support the church financially there are gift aid
envelopes in the church, or alternatively you may prefer to give to the
collection during the offertory hymn. The money goes towards the
work of the Parish. 5% of this collection will support other Christian
charities.
We keep quiet in preparation for the service once the organ stops
playing.
COLLECT
Lord Jesus Christ who said to your apostles ‘Peace I leave with
you, my peace I give to you.’ Look not on our sins but on the
faith of your church, and grant it the peace and unity of your
kingdom, where you are alive and reign with the Father, in the
Unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
