THE COMMUNITY GATHERS BEFORE GOD
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
And also with you.
Almighty God,
to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hidden. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Hymn: VU 315 Holy, Holy, Holy
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee;
holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,
casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.
Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee,
though the eye made blind by sin thy glory may not see,
only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
perfect in power, in love, and purity.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy name in earth and sky and sea;
holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
Words: Reginald Heber, Music: John Bacchus Dykes
Collect
THE STORY OF FAITH IS PROCLAIMED
Hutlilala’s! Listen as God’s Word is proclaimed!
Proverbs 8: 1-4, 22-31
Psalm 8 VU #732
Refrain: O God, our God, how glorious is your name in all the earth!
O God, our God how glorious is your name in all the earth! From the lips of infants and children your praises reach up to the heavens.
You have set up a stronghold against your foes, to quell the enemy and the avengers.
R: O God, our God, how glorious is your name in all the earth!
When I look to the heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars you have set in their places,
what are we mortals that you should be mindful of us, mere human beings that you should care for us?
R: O God, our God, how glorious is your name in all the earth!
You have made us little less than divine, and crowned us with glory and honour.
You have made us rulers over all your creation, and put all things under our feet,
all sheep and cattle, all creatures of the wild,
the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, and all that make their way through the waters.
R: O God, our God, how glorious is your name in all the earth!
Refrain music: Michel Guimont.

Sermon Reflection
Reflective Hymn: MV 79 Spirit, Open My Heart
Spirit, open my heart
to the joy and pain of living.
As you love may I love,
in receiving and in giving,
Spirit, open my heart.
God, replace my stony heart
with a heart that’s kind and tender.
All my coldness and fear
to your grace I now surrender.
Spirit, open my heart
to the joy and pain of living.
As you love may I love,
in receiving and in giving,
Spirit, open my heart.
Write your love upon my heart
as my law, my goal, my story.
In each thought, word, and deed,
may my living bring you glory.
Spirit, open my heart
to the joy and pain of living.
As you love may I love,
in receiving and in giving,
Spirit, open my heart.
May I weep with those who weep,
share the joy of sister, brother.
In the welcome of Christ,
may we welcome one another.
Spirit, open my heart
to the joy and pain of living.
As you love may I love,
in receiving and in giving,
Spirit, open my heart.
Words: Ruth Duck Music: traditional melody, Ireland; arr. Arthur G. Clyde.

Offertory Hymn: VU 460 All Who Hunger
All who hunger gather gladly;
holy manna is our bread.
Come from wilderness and wandering.
Here, in truth, we will be fed.
You that yearn for days of fullness,
all around us is our food.
Taste and see the grace eternal.
Taste and see that God is good.
All who hunger, never strangers;
seeker, be a welcome guest.
Come from restlessness and roaming.
Here, in joy, we keep the feast.
We that once were lost and scattered
in communion’s love have stood.
Taste and see the grace eternal.
Taste and see that God is good.
All who hunger, sing together;
Jesus Christ is living bread.
Come from loneliness and longing.
Here, in peace, we have been led.
Blest are those who from this table
live their days in gratitude.
Taste and see the grace eternal.
Taste and see that God is good.
Words: Sylvia G. Dunstan Music: William Moore; arr. David Kai, alt.
Response: VU 226 For the Beauty of the Earth v1
For the beauty of the earth,

over and around us lies,
God of all, to you we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise.

Prayer over the Gifts
The Lord’s Prayer
And now as our Saviour has taught us:
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: MV 145 Draw the Circle Wide
Draw the circle wide.
Draw it wider still.
Let this be our song,
no one stands alone,
standing side by side,
draw the circle wide.
God the still point of the circle,
‘round whom all creation turns;
nothing lost, but held forever,
in God’s gracious arms.
Draw the circle wide.
Draw it wider still.
Let this be our song,
no one stands alone,
standing side by side,
draw the circle wide.
Let our hearts touch far horizons,
so encompass great and small;
let our loving know no borders,
faithful to God’s call.
Draw the circle wide.
Draw it wider still.
Let this be our song,
no one stands alone,
standing side by side,
draw the circle wide.
Let the dreams we dream be larger,
than we’ve ever dreamed before;
let the dream of Christ be in us,
open every door.
Draw the circle wide.
Draw it wider still.
Let this be our song,
no one stands alone,
standing side by side,
draw the circle wide.
Words and music: Gordon Light
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
