ORDER OF THE LITURGY

Opening Hymn: 497, Blessed Assurance (Fanny Crosby)

1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine:

O what a foretaste of glory divine!

Heir of salvation, purchase of God;

born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.

This is my story, this is my song,

praising my Saviour all the day long,

this is my story, this is my song,

praising my Saviour all the day long.

2. Perfect submission, perfect delight,

visions of rapture burst on my sight;

angels descending, bring from above

echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

3. Perfect submission, all is at rest,

I in my Saviour am happy and blest;

watching and waiting, looking above,

filled with his goodness, lost in his love.

THE GREETING

V. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. John 4: 24

Blessed be God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Alleluia! Alleluia!

R. And blessed be His Kingdom, now and forever. Amen. Alleluia! Alleluia!.

OPENING PRAYER

Blessed Lord and Father, we have assembled in your Name and in fellowship with one

another. Enable us by your grace to offer the sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving; to

proclaim and respond to your holy word. Teach us to pray for your world and your

Church. Grant that we, confessing our sins, may worthily offer to you our souls and

bodies as a living sacrifice and eat and drink of your spiritual food in this Holy

Sacrament. Amen.

Gloria in Excelsis

Glory to God in the highest,

and peace to His people on earth.

Lord God, heavenly King,

almighty God and Father,

we worship you, we give you thanks,

we praise you for your glory.

Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the

Father, Lord God, Lamb of God,

you take away the sin of the world:

have mercy on us;

3

you are seated at the right hand of

the Father: receive our prayer.

For you alone are the Holy One;

you alone are the Lord:

you alone are the Most High,

Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit,

in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

THE COLLECT Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom, you know our necessities

before we ask and our ignorance in asking: Have compassion on our weakness, and

mercifully give us those things which for our unworthiness we dare not, and for our

blindness we cannot ask; through the worthiness of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who

lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

FIRST READING: Isaiah 44:6-8 (Constance Simpson)

PSALM 86:11-17

11 Teach me your way, O LORD,

and I will walk in your truth; *

knit my heart to you that I may fear your Name.

12 I will thank you, O LORD my God, with all my heart, *

and glorify your Name for evermore.

13 For great is your love toward me; *

you have delivered me from the nethermost Pit.

14 The arrogant rise up against me, O God,

and a band of violent men seeks my life; *

they have not set you before their eyes.

15 But you, O LORD, are gracious and full of compassion, *

slow to anger, and full of kindness and truth.

16 Turn to me and have mercy upon me; *

give your strength to your servant;

and save the child of your handmaid.

17 Show me a sign of your favor,

so that those who hate me may see it and be ashamed; *

because you, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son

And to the Hoy Spirit;

As it was in the beginning is now

And shall be forever. Amen.

THE SERMON: Rev. Monique Campbell

HYMN OF RESPONSE: 493, All the Way My Saviour Leads Me (Fanny Crosby)

1. All the way my Savior leads me,

What have I to ask beside?

Can I doubt His tender mercy,

Who through life has been my Guide?

Heavenly peace, divinest comfort,

Here by faith in Him to dwell!

For I know, whate’er befall me,

Jesus doeth all things well;

2. All the way my Saviour leads me,

Cheers each winding path I tread,

Gives me grace for every trial,

Feeds me with the living Bread.

Though my weary steps may falter

And my soul a-thirst may be,

Gushing from the Rock before me,

Lo! A spring of joy I see.

3. All the way my Saviour leads me,

Oh, the fullness of His love!

Perfect rest to me is promised

In my Father’s house above.

When my spirit, clothed immortal,

Wings its flight to realms of day

This my song through endless ages:

Jesus led me all the way;

our blindness cannot ask, grant us for the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ our

Lord. Amen.

ACT OF PENITENCE

PRESIDENT

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our

sins, God is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins, and cleanse us from all

unrighteousness.

A period of silence shall be kept.

PRESIDENT: Let us therefore confess our sins.

ALL: 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 have not

loved ourselves as we ought. 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.

THE ABSOLUTION

PRESIDENT: 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 life eternal; through Jesus

Christ our Lord. Amen.

6

President: We are the body of Christ. By the one Spirit we were all baptized into one

Body, and have all been made to drink of the one Spirit.

ALL: Let us then pursue the things that make for peace and build up the

common life. President: The Peace of the Lord be always with you

ALL: And also with you.

Offertory Hymn: CPWI 519- Servant King (Graham Kendrick)

1. From heaven you came, helpless babe,

entered our world, your glory veiled,

not to be served but to serve,

and give your life that we might live.

This is our God, the Servant King,

he calls us now to follow him,

to bring our lives as a daily offering

of worship to the Servant King.

2. There in the garden of tears

my heavy load he chose to bear;

his heart with sorrow was torn, ‘

Yet not my will but yours,’ he said.

3. Come see his hands and his feet,

the scars that speak of sacrifice,

hands that flung stars into space

to cruel nails surrendered.

4. So let us learn how to serve

and in our lives enthrone him,

each other’s needs to prefer,

for it is Christ we’re serving.

THE PRESENTATION OF THE OFFERINGS:

Father, we offer you these gifts which you have given us; this bread, this wine, this

money. With them we offer ourselves, our lives, and our work, to become through your

Holy Spirit a reasonable, holy, and lively sacrifice. As this bread and wine become the

Body and Blood of Christ, so may we and all your people become channels of your love;

through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE EUCHARISTIC PRAYER

President: The Lord be with you.

All: And also with you.

President: Lift up your hearts.

All: We lift them up to the Lord.

President: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God

7

All: It is right to give God thanks and praise.

PRESIDENT: It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give you

thanks, Father almighty, everlasting God: … Therefore, we praise you, joining our voices

with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven, who forever sing this hymn

to proclaim the glory of your Name:

ALL

Holy, holy, holy Lord,

God of power and might;

heaven and earth are full of your glory,

Hosanna in the highest!

Blessed is He who comes

in the name of the Lord,

Hosanna in the Highest!

PRESIDENT

Holy and gracious Father,

all creation rightly gives you praise.

All life, all holiness, comes from you

through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord,

whom you sent to share our human nature,

to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you,

the God and Father of all.

We therefore bring you these gifts,

and we ask you to make them holy by the power of your Spirit,

that they may become the Body and Blood of your Son,

our Saviour Jesus Christ,

who offered Himself in obedience to your will,

the Perfect Sacrifice for all mankind.

On the night He was betrayed,

He took bread,

and when He had given thanks to you,

He broke it and gave it to His disciples and said:

"Take this and eat it:

This is my Body which is given for you.

Do this for the remembrance of me.”

After supper He took the cup of wine:

and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them and said:

“Drink this, all of you:

This is my Blood of the New Covenant,

Which is shed for you and for many lot the forgiveness of sins.

Do this, whenever you drink it,

For the remembrance of me.”

8

ALL: Christ Jesus is Lord.

He has set us free from the law of sin and death:

In His name alone is our salvation.

PRESIDENT

Father, calling to mind the death your Son

endured for our salvation;

His glorious Resurrection and Ascension;

His continual intercession for us in heaven;

and looking for His coming again in glory,

we offer you, in thanksgiving,

this holy and life-giving sacrifice.

Look with favour on your Church’s offering,

and grant that we who eat and drink these holy gifts

may be filled with your Holy Spirit

and become one body in Christ.

and serve you in unity, constancy and peace.

May He make us a perpetual offering to you and enable us,

in communion with blessed Mary

and the whole company of heaven,

to share in the inheritance of your Saints.

With Him, and in Him, and through Him,

by the power of the Holy Spirit, we worship you,

Father Almighty, with all who stand before you

in earth and heaven in songs of everlasting praise:

ALL

Blessing and honour and glory and power

be yours for ever and ever. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER

President: As our Saviour has taught us so we pray…

THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD:

PRESIDENT: We break this bread to share in the body of Christ.

ALL: Though we are many, we are one body, because we all share in one

bread.

HYMNS DURING COMMUNION:

CPWI 407, As the Deer Pant (Martin Nystrom)

1. As the deer pants for the water

So my soul longs after You.

You alone are my heart’s desire

And I long to worship You.

You alone are my strength, my shield,

To you alone may my spirit yield

You alone are my heart’s desire

And I long to worship You.

2. I want you more than gold or silver

Only you can satisfy.

You alone are the real joy-giver

And the apple of my eye.

3. You’re my Friend and you’re my Brother

Even though you are a king.

I love you more than any other

So much more than anything.

CPWI 840- Be Still for the Presence of the Lord (David Evans)

1. Be still, for the presence of the Lord,

the Holy One, is here;

come bow before him now

with reverence and fear:

in him no sin is found —

we stand on holy ground.

Be still, for the presence of the Lord,

the Holy One, is here.

2. Be still, for the glory of the Lord

is shining all around;

he burns with holy fire,

10

with splendour he is crowned:

how awesome is the sight —

our radiant King of light!

Be still, for the glory of the Lord

is shining all around.

3. Be still, for the power of the Lord

is moving in this place:

he comes to cleanse and heal,

to minister his grace —

no work too hard for him.

In faith receive from him.

Be still, for the power of the Lord

is moving in this place.

CPWI 845, Give Thanks (Henry Smith)

because of what the Lord has done for us; give thanks

(Repeat)

POST COMMUNION PRAYER:

Almighty Father, we thank you for feeding us with the Body and Blood of your Son

Jesus Christ. May we who share His Body live His risen life; we who drink His cup

bring life to others; we upon whom your Spirit shines give light to the world. Help us to

continue in faithful witness to your Word, so we and all your children shall be free,

and the whole earth live to praise your Name, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Closing Hymn: 413, Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer (William Williams)

1. GUIDE me, O Thou great Redeemer,

Pilgrim through this barren land;

I am weak, but Thou art mighty,

Hold me with Thy powerful hand;

Bread of Heaven,

Feed me now and evermore.

2. Open now the crystal fountain,

Whence the healing streams doth flow:

Let the fiery cloudy pillar

Lead me all my journey through;

Strong Deliverer,

Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.

11

3. When I tread the verge of Jordan,

Bid my anxious fears subside:

Death of death, and hell’s Destruction,

Land me safe on Canaan’s side

Songs and praises

I will ever give to Thee.
