Sun 9am

We are expected to show the same profound mercy to others that God has generously shown to us. Building on the previous week's theme of correcting a brother, today highlights letting go of vengeance to heal relationships.

All you nations, sing out your joy to the Lord: Alleluia, alleluia!
Joyfully shout, all you on earth, give praise to the glory of God;
And with a hymn, sing out with glorious praise: Alleluia!All you nations, sing out your joy to the Lord: Alleluia, alleluia!
Lift up your hearts, sing to your God: tremendous your deeds among men!
Vanquished your foes, struck down by power and might: Alleluia!All you nations, sing out your joy to the Lord: Alleluia, alleluia!
Let all the earth kneel in his sight, extolling his marvellous fame;
Honour his name, in highest heaven give praise: Alleluia!All you nations, sing out your joy to the Lord: Alleluia, alleluia!
Glory and thanks be to the father: Honour and praise to the Son; And to the Spirit, source of life and of Love; Alleluia!

We offer Thee this sacrifice.

Forgive us the sins of all our life.To thee, O Lord, our joy we give,
Our weariness, our work and woe,
The anxious moments that we live;
Lighten our burden as we go.For all the living take Thou this gift,
For our brothers and sisters who join in prayer,
For the absent ones our hearts we lift,
Keep them all in They loving care.

Let there be Peace on Earth

1. Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me;
Let there be peace on earth,
The peace that was meant to be.2. With God as our Father
Brothers all are we, [We are family]
Let me walk with my brother [each other]
In perfect harmony.3. Let peace begin with me,
Let this be the moment now;
With every step I take,
Let this be my solemn vow:4. To take each moment and live each moment
In peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.

Thank you for singing with us.
Wishing all a Blessed Sunday!

WE bless and thank God for the gift of voice and singing to glorify his name. We would welcome more voices.

Nicene CreedI believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and (bow..) by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.Amen.--------------------------------
The Apostle's CreedI believe in God,
the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.Amen.
