Collect
Hymn: VU 409 Morning Has Broken
Morning has broken like the first morning,
blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning!
Praise for them, springing fresh from the Word!
Sweet the rain's new fall sunlit from heaven,
like the first dewfall on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,
sprung in completeness where God's feet pass.
Ours is the sunlight! Ours is the morning
born of the one light Eden saw play!
Praise with elation, praise every morning,
God's recreation of the new day!
Words: Eleanor Farjean; Music: Gaelic melody; harm. Alec Wyton.

Praise God who meets all our needs!
R: Praise to the Lord, hallelujah! Everybody praise the Lord.
Praise God with the sound of trumpet!
Praise God with lyre and harp!
Praise God with timbrel and dancing!
Praise God wherever you are!
R: Praise to the Lord, hallelujah! Everybody praise the Lord.
Praise God with holy cymbals!
Praise God with strings and with pipes!
Praise God with clash of cymbals!
Praise God with all your might!
R: Praise to the Lord, hallelujah! Everybody praise the Lord.

HYMN: VU 382 Breathe on me, Breath of God
Breathe on me, breath of God,
fill me with life anew,
that I may love what thou dost love,
and do what thou wouldst do.
Breathe on me, breath of God,
until my heart is pure,
until my will is one with thine,
to do and to endure.
Breathe on me, breath of God,
till I am wholly thine,
until this earthly part of me
glows with thy fire divine.
Breathe on me, breath of God:
so shall I never die,
but live with thee the perfect life
of thine eternity.
Words: Edwin Hatch, Music: Robert Jackson
Gospel: John 20: 19-31

we belong to God; we belong to God.

Prayer over the gifts
The Lord’s Prayer VU 914
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, 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, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
Hymn: VU 341 Fairest Lord Jesus
Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature,
O thou of God to earth come down:
thee will I cherish, thee will I honor,
thou, my soul's glory, joy, and crown.
Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands,
robed in the blooming garb of spring;
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,
who makes the troubled heart to sing.
Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the moonlight,
and fair the twinkling, starry host;
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
than all the angels heaven can boast.
All fairest beauty heavenly and earthly,
wondrously, Jesus, is found in thee;
none can be nearer, fairer or dearer
than thou, my Saviour, art to me.
Words: from German, Music: Silesian folk melody, harm. James Hopkirk

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.

Loved, forgiven and redeemed, we go forth!
Amen. Gilakas’la.
