Let us confess our sins in penitence and faith, firmly resolved to keep God’s commandments and to live in love and peace with all.

 

Please kneel or sit

 

All  Almighty God, our heavenly Father,

we have sinned against you and against our neighbour in thought and word and deed,

through negligence, through weakness

through our own deliberate fault.

We are truly sorry and repent of all our sins.

For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, who died for us, forgive us all that is past and grant that we may serve you in newness of life to the glory of your name.

Amen

 

Absolution

Who forgives all who truly repent,

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.

All  Amen

All  Glory in the highest to the God of heaven!

Peace to all your people, through the earth be given:

Mighty God and Father, thanks and praise we bring,

Singing alleluyas to our heavenly King.

 

Jesus Christ is risen, God the Father’s Son:

With the Holy Spirit, you are Lord alone!

Lamb once killed for sinners, all our guilt to bear,

Show us now your mercy, now receive our prayer.

 

Christ the world’s true Saviour, high and holy one,

Seated now and reigning, from your Father’s throne:

Lord and God, we praise you; highest heaven adores:

In the Father’s glory, all the praise be yours!

 

 

The Collect prayer: Eternal God, whose Son went among the crowds and brought healing with His touch ; help us to show His love in your Church as we gather together, and by our lives as we are transformed into the image of Christ our Lord. Amen

PSALM 1  Please be seated and join in alternate verses

 

1    Blessed are they who have not walked

    in the counsel of the wicked,  ♦

nor lingered in the way of sinners,

    nor sat in the assembly of the scornful.

2    Their delight is in the law of the Lord  ♦

and they meditate on his law day and night.

3    Like a tree planted by streams of water

    bearing fruit in due season, with leaves that do not wither,  ♦

whatever they do, it shall prosper.

4    As for the wicked, it is not so with them;  ♦

they are like chaff which the wind blows away.

5    Therefore the wicked shall not be able to stand in the judgement,  ♦

nor the sinner in the congregation of the righteous.

6    For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,  ♦

but the way of the wicked shall perish.

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation;

But deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,

The power and the glory,

For ever and ever,  Amen.

All  Though we are many, we are one body,

because we all share in one bread.

 

Jesus, Lamb of God, have mercy on us.

Jesus, bearer of our sins, have mercy on us.

Jesus, redeemer of the world, grant us peace.

 

Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

Blessed are those who are called to his supper.

All   Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word, and I shall be healed.

 

All are most welcome to receive Holy Communion but if this is not your custom, do please come to the altar rail to receive a Blessing. Bring your service sheet with you to indicate just a Blessing

 

Post communion prayer is said.

 

All  Father of all, we give you thanks and praise, that when we were still far off you met us in your Son and brought us home.

Dying and living, he declared your love, gave us grace, and opened the gate of glory.

May we who share Christ’s body live his risen life; we who drink his cup bring life to others; we whom the Spirit lights give light to the world.

Keep us firm in the hope you have set before us, so we and all your children shall be free, and the whole earth live to praise your name; through Christ our Lord.

Amen
