Prelude

 

Welcome

 

Opening Hymn - The Love of Jesus Calls Us - CP #434

 

The love of Jesus calls us our joyous praise to sing;

our deeply felt thanksgivings we now together bring,

for all God's many blessings, unasked yet still received,

and for the generations who faithfully believed.

 

The love of Jesus calls us to go where he would go,

to challenge all that limits, to change, to learn, to grow,

to know that Christ has freed us, that prisons are no more;

for those who seek his kingdom, Christ opens every door.

 

The love of Jesus calls us in swiftly changing days,

to be God's co-creators in new and wondrous ways;

that God with men and women may so transform the earth,

that love and peace and justice may give God's kingdom birth.

 

The Grace

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.  And also with you.

 

Collect for Purity

Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hidden.  Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy name; through Christ our Lord.  Amen

 

Collect Prayer

Lord of the misfit, whose prophets came like weeds to an ordered garden, shaking all that deadens your love: give us faith in your kingdom’s growth, unruly and exuberant and let it be a shelter wide enough for all; through Jesus Christ, our teacher.  Amen

 

Readings

Psalm 20; 2 Corinthians 5:6-10; Mark 4:26-34

 

Homily

 

Hymn After the Homily - Hymn of Promise (CCLI # 1884009)

 

 

In the bulb there is a flower;

in the seed, an apple tree;

in cocoons, a hidden promise:

butterflies will soon be free!

In the cold and snow of winter

there's a spring that waits to be,

unrevealed until its season,

something God alone can see.

 

There's a song in every silence,

seeking word and melody;

there's a dawn in every darkness

bringing hope to you and me.

From the past will come the future;

what it holds, a mystery,

unrevealed until its season,

something God alone can see.

 

In our end is our beginning;

in our time, infinity;

in our doubt there is believing;

in our life, eternity.

In our death, a resurrection;

at the last, a victory,

unrevealed until its season,

something God alone can see.

 

Prayers of the People

 

Confession & Absolution

 

Dear friends in Christ, let us bring before God the truth of our ways by making our

confession to the One who forgives us.

 

Silence is kept.

 

Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us, that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your name. Amen.

 

Almighty God have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and keep you in eternal life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

 

 

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.

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.

 

Benediction & Blessing

Glory to God, whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine. Glory to God from generation to generation, in the Church and in Christ Jesus, for ever and ever.  Amen.

 

Closing Hymn - For the Fruit of All Creation - CP # 259

 

For the fruit of all creation,

thanks be to God;

for the gifts of every nation,

thanks be to God;

for the ploughing, sowing, reaping,

silent growth while we are sleeping,

future needs in earth's safe-keeping,

thanks be to God.

 

In the just reward of labour,

God's will is done;

in the help we give our neighbour,

God's will is done;

in our world-wide task of caring

for the hungry and despairing,

in the harvests we are sharing,

God's will is done.

 

For the harvests of the Spirit,

thanks be to God;

for the good we all inherit,

thanks be to God;

for the wonders that astound us,

for the truths that still confound us,

most of all that love has found us,

thanks be to God.
