who like me his praise should sing?

in his hands he gently bears us,

rescues us from all our foes.

Alleluia, alleluia! Widely as his mercy flows.

sun and moon, bow down before him,

THE SERMON: Rev. Monique Campbell

HYMN OF RESPONSE: CPWI 453, Make Me A Channel Of Your Peace (Sebastian

Temple)

1. Make me a channel of your peace.

Where there is hatred let me bring your love;

where there is injury, your pardon, Lord;

and where there's doubt, true faith in you.


Where there's despair in life let me bring hope;

where there is darkness, only light;

and where there's sadness, ever joy.

O Master grant that I may never seek

so much to-be consoled as to console;

to be understood as to understand;

to be loved, as to love with all my soul


It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

in giving of ourselves that we receive;

and in dying that we're born to eternal life.

THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE (Margaret Tait)

Leader: Lord, we pray for all who are seeking to set standards, to raise morale, for all who

are seeking holiness and dedication, for all who are living heroic lives, for all striving to live

simply. May we be a listening church and a forgiving church. We pray for our church,

especially our Bishops Howard and Leon, Jackie, Diocesan Secretary, Mike, Chairman of the

Diocesan Financial Board, and Almerick, Senior Accountant. Give them wisdom and insight

in leading the church through these difficult seasons. Lord, in your mercy.

All: hear us and help us.

Leader: We pray for who have lost sight of spiritual values, all who are caught up in sheer

materialism, all who measure only by possessions or wealth. We pray for all who suffer from

hunger, poverty or bad housing. We pray for all who are caught up in debauchery and

licentiousness. Lord, in your mercy.


Leader: We pray that our homes may reflect your acceptance and love. Forgive our

quarrelling and our jealousy. Teach us tolerance and compassion. We give thanks for all who

have tolerated us, and given us their love. We pray that our community may be a caring and

friendly community. Lord, in your mercy.


Leader: We pray for all involved in drunkenness or vice, all who are alcoholics or addicts.

We pray for homes that suffer through the sin or weakness of a member of the family, for all

who are subjected to violence or abuse. We remember all who are tempted to give up hope.

We pray for our sick and shut-in members… Lord, in your mercy.


5

Leader: We give thanks for all who have walked the way of your commandments, who have

fulfilled your laws and done your will. Following their example, may we come to share with

them in your everlasting glory. Lord, in your mercy.

your call. Open our hearts to your love that may proclaim that you are among us;

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

ACT OF PENITENCE

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.

PRESIDENT: The Kingdom of God is justice, peace. and joy, inspired by the Holy Spirit.

ALL: They who thus serve Christ are acceptable to God and approved by

others.

PRESIDENT: The peace of the Lord be always with you.

ALL: And also with you.

PRESIDENT

Sovereign Lord and Father,

To you be glory and praise for ever.

In your boundless wisdom

you brought creation into being;

In your great love you fashioned

us in your image;

In your tender compassion

you sent your Son. Jesus Christ, our Saviour,

to share our human nature;

in the power of the Holy Spirit,

He overcame the power of sin and death

and brought your people to new birth

as first fruits of your new creation.

On the night that 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.”

And 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

for the forgiveness of sins.

Whenever you drink it,

do this for the remembrance of me.”

PRESIDENT

Therefore. Father, according to the command of your dearly beloved Son

ALL

We remember His death

We proclaim His resurrection

We await His coming in glory

PRESIDENT

And we offer you. Father,

our sacrifice of thanks and praise.

Send your Holy Spirit on these gifts of

bread and wine that they may become

the Body and Blood of your Son,

Jesus, our Lord and Redeemer.

As we partake of this holy food of new

and unending life, may your Holy Spirit

establish us as a royal priesthood

with the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. N-

and all your sons and daughters who share

in your eternal inheritance;

Through Jesus Christ our Lord.

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…

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

HYMNS DURING COMMUNION:

CPWI 616, O Thou Who At the Eucharist Didst Pray (W. H. Turton)

1. O THOU, Who at Thy Eucharist didst pray

That all Thy Church might be for ever one,

Grant us at every Eucharist to say

With longing heart and soul, “Thy will be done.”

Oh, may we all one Bread, one Body be,

Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.

2. For all Thy Church, O Lord, we intercede;

Make Thou our sad divisions soon to cease;

Draw us the nearer each to each, we plead,

By drawing all to Thee, O Prince of peace;

Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be,


3. We pray Thee too for wanderers from Thy Fold;

O bring them back, Good Shepherd of the sheep,

Back to the Faith which Saints believed of old,

Back to the Church which still that Faith doth keep;

Soon may we all one Bread, one Body be,


4. So, Lord, at length when Sacraments shall cease,

May we be one with all thy Church above,

One with Thy Saints in one unbroken peace,

One with Thy Saints in one unbounded love:

More blessèd still, in peace and love to be

One with the Trinity in Unity.

CPWI 597, I Come With Joy (Brian Wren )

1. I come with joy, a child of God,

forgiven, loved and free,

the life of Jesus to recall,

in love laid down for me.

2. I come with Christians far and near

to find, as all are fed,

the new community of love

in Christ's communion bread.

3. As Christ breaks bread, and bids us share,

each proud division ends.

10

The love that made us, makes us one,

and strangers now are friends.

4. The Spirit of the risen Christ,

unseen, but ever near,

is in such friendship better known,

alive among us here.

5. Together met, together bound

by all that God has done,

we'll go with joy, to give the world

the love that makes us one.

Blessed Be The Ties (John Faweet)

1. Blest be the tie that binds

our hearts in Christian love;

the fellowship of kindred minds

is like to that above.

2. Before our Father's throne

we pour our ardent prayers;

our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,

our comforts and our cares.

3. We share our mutual woes,

our mutual burdens bear,

and often for each other flows

the sympathizing tear.

4. When we are called to part,

it gives us inward pain;

but we shall still be joined in heart,

and hope to meet again.

5. This glorious hope revives

our courage by the way;

while each in expectation lives

and waits to see the day.

6. From sorrow, toil, and pain,

and sin, we shall be free;

and perfect love and friendship reign

through all eternity.

POST COMMUNION PRAYER:

Almighty Father,

we thank you for feeding us

with the Body and Blood

11

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: We Are One In Spirit (Peter Scholtes)

1. We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord

We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord

And we pray that all unity may one day be restored

And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love

They will know we are Christians by our love

2. We will work with each other, we will work side by side

We will work with each other, we will work side by side

And we'll guard each one's dignity and save each one's pride


They will know we are Christians by our love

3. We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand

We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand

And together we'll spread the news that God is in our land


They will know we are Christians by our love.
