Mission Statement
As followers of Jesus the Christ, our church is a community called to love, honour, worship, and serve God. We invite others to share our Christian journey as we grow in faith and engage in ministry in our town and mission in our world.

THE COMMUNITY GATHERS BEFORE GOD

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion 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:
MV 1 Let Us Build a House v1, 2, 4, 5

Let us build a house where love can dwell and all can safely live,
a place where saints and children tell how hearts learn to forgive.
Built of hopes and dreams and visions; rock of faith and vault of grace;
here the love of all shall end divisions:
All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.

Let us build a house where prophets speak, and words are strong and true,
where all God’s children dare to seek to dream God’s reign anew.
Here the cross shall stand as witness and as symbol of God’s grace;
here as one we claim the faith of Jesus:
All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.

Let us build a house where hands will reach beyond the wood and stone
to heal and strengthen serve and teach, and live the Word they’ve known.
Here the outcast and the stranger bear the image of God’s face;
let us bring an end to fear and danger:
All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.

Let us build a house where all are named, their songs and visions heard
and loved and treasured, taught and claimed as words within the Word.
Built of tears and cries and laughter, prayers of faith and songs of grace;
let this house proclaim from floor to rafter:
All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.

Words and music: Marty Haugen.

The Collect of the Day

THE STORY OF FAITH IS PROCLAIMED
Hutlilala’s! Listen as God’s Word is proclaimed!
Hebrew Scripture: Jeremiah 8: 18-9:1

Psalm 79:1-9 VU 793
Refrain: Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name.
O God, the nations have entered your domain, defiled your holy temple and laid Jerusalem in ruins.
They have left your servants’ bodies for scavenging birds, the flesh of your faithful ones for wild beasts. Their blood was shed like water around Jerusalem, with none to bury them.
We have become the taunt of our neighbours, mocked and scorned by those around us.
How long, O God? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealous wrath burn like fire?
R: Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name.

Pour out your rage on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the realms that will not call on your name;
for they have devoured Jacob and desolated Israel’s home.
Do not hold the sins of past generations against us;
let your compassion come swiftly to meet us, for we are sunk very low.
Help us, O God our Saviour, for the glory of your name.
Deliver us and forgive our sin, for the honour of your name.
R: Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name.
