Welcome

Grace, mercy and peace

from God our Father

and the Lord Jesus Christ

be with you

and also with you.

Lord, speak to us

Move among us

Receive our prayers

that we may learn to trust you.  Amen.

 

Songs

Bless the Lord O my soul O my soul

Worship His holy name

Sing like never before O my soul

I'll worship Your holy name

 

The sun comes up it's a new day dawning

It's time to sing Your song again

Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me

Let me be singing when the evening comes

 

You're rich in love and You're slow to anger

Your name is great and Your heart is kind

For all Your goodness I will keep on singing

Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

​

And on that day when my strength is failing

The end draws near and my time has come

Still my soul will sing Your praise unending

Ten thousand years and then forevermore

 

Sing like never before O my soul

I'll worship Your holy name

Worship Your holy name

Worship Your holy name

Song

Light of the world

You stepped down into darkness

Opened my eyes let me see

Beauty that made

This heart adore You

Hope of a life spent with You

 

So here I am to worship

Here I am to bow down

Here I am to say that You're my God

And You're altogether lovely

Altogether worthy

Altogether wonderful to me

 

King of all days

Oh so highly exalted

Glorious in heaven above

Humbly You came

To the earth You created

All for love's sake became poor

​

And I'll never know how much it cost

To see my sin upon that cross

And I'll never know how much it cost

To see my sin upon that cross

Confession and Absolution

Let us return to the Lord our God and say to him:

Father,

we have sinned against heaven and against you.

We are not worthy to be called your children.

We turn to you again.

Have mercy on us,

bring us back to yourself

as those who once were dead

but now have life through Christ our Lord.  Amen.
 

May the God of love and power

forgive us and free us from our sins,

heal and strengthen us by his Spirit,

and raise us to new life in Christ our Lord.  Amen.

 

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

Sermon: Adam Isaacs
 

Song

Lord I come before Your throne of grace

I find rest in Your presence

And fulness of joy in worship

And wonder I behold Your face

Singing what a faithful God have I

 

What a faithful God have I

What a faithful God

What a faithful God have I

Faithful in in ev'ry way

 

Lord of mercy You have heard my cry

Through the storm You're the beacon

My song in the night

In the shelter of Your wings hear my heart's reply

Singing what a faithful God have I
 

Lord all sov'reign granting peace from heav'n

Let me comfort those who suffer

With the comfort You have giv'n

I will tell of Your great love for as long as I live

Singing what a faithful God have I

Affirmation of Faith

Let us declare our faith in God.

We believe in God the Father,

from whom every family

in heaven and on earth is named.

We believe in God the Son,

who lives in our hearts through faith and fills us with his love.

We believe in God the Holy Spirit,

who strengthens us

with power from on high.

We believe in one God;

Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Amen.

 

Prayers: led by Isaac Ampong

 

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
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.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever. Amen.

 

Offertory Prayer 

Heavenly Father,

you have given us riches beyond measure.  

We can only return a fraction of what we owe you;  

but we ask, Lord,

that you will bless our offerings

and help us to use them wisely in your service

and for your glory. Amen

Song

Come set Your rule and reign

In our hearts again

Increase in us we pray

Unveil why we're made

Come set our hearts ablaze with hope

Like wildfire in our very souls

Holy Spirit come invade us now

We are Your church

We need Your pow'r in us

 

We seek Your kingdom first

We hunger and we thirst

Refuse to waste our lives

For You're our joy and prize

To see the captives' hearts released

The hurt the sick the poor at peace

We lay down our lives for heaven's cause

We are Your church

We pray revive this earth

​

Build Your kingdom here

Let the darkness fear

Show Your mighty hand

Heal our streets and land

Set Your church on fire

Win this nation back

Change the atmosphere

Build Your kingdom here we pray
 

Unleash Your kingdom's pow'r

Reaching the near and far

No force of hell can stop

Your beauty changing hearts

You made us for much more than this

Awake the kingdom seed in us

Fill us with the strength and love of Christ

We are Your church

We are the hope on earth

Chris Llewellyn; Gareth Gilkeson ©2011 Thankyou Music
 

Closing Prayers

Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Send us out to live lives that glorify you

Help us to be people of peace

Empower us to recognize your call

In our families

In our communities

In our workplaces and schools

In our churches and in our world. Amen 

​

May the Lord bless us and keep us.

May the Lord make his face to shine upon us and be gracious to us.

May the Lord lift up his countenance upon us and give us peace;

so the blessing of God, the father, the son and the Holy Spirit be with us

and those we love, today and always.

Amen
