1. Welcome and Intimations

  2. Prayer and Lord’s Prayer

    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,
    the power, and the glory
    for ever and ever.
    Amen.

  3. CH4 198 Let Us Build a House

    1. 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 Christ shall end divisions:
      All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.

    2. 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.

    3. Let us build a house where love is found
      in water, wine and wheat:
      a banquet hall on holy ground,
      where peace and justice meet.
      Here the love of God, through Jesus,
      is revealed in time and space,
      as we share in Christ the feast that frees us:
      All are welcome, all are welcome,
      all are welcome in this place.

    4. 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.

    5. 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.

  6. CH4 692 Jesus put this song into our hearts

    1. Jesus put this song into our hearts,
      Jesus put this song into our hearts;
      it’s a song of joy no-one can take away.
      Jesus put this song into our hearts.

    2. Jesus taught us how to live in harmony,
      Jesus taught us how to live in harmony;
      different faces, different races, He made us one -
      Jesus taught us how to live in harmony.

    3. Jesus taught us how to be a family,
      Jesus taught us how to be a family;
      loving one another with the love that He gives –
      Jesus taught us how to be a family.

    4. Jesus turned our sorrow into dancing,
      Jesus turned our sorrow into dancing,
      changed our tears of sadness into rivers of joy -
      Jesus turned our sorrow into a dance.

  8. CH4 510 Jesus Calls Us

    1. Jesus calls us here to meet him
      as, through word and song and prayer,
      we affirm God’s promised presence
      where his people live and care.
      Praise the God who keeps his promise ;
      praise the Son who calls us friends ;
      praise the Spirit who, among us,
      to our hopes and fears attends.

    2. Jesus calls us to confess him
      Word of life and Lord of all,
      sharer of our flesh and frailness,
      saving all who fail or fall.
      Tell his holy human story ;
      tell his tales that all may hear ;
      tell the world that Christ in glory
      came to earth to meet us here.

    3. Jesus calls us to each other,
      vastly different though we are ;
      creed and colour, class and gender
      neither limit nor debar.
      Join the hand of friend and stranger ;
      join the hands of age and youth ;
      join the faithful and the doubter
      in their common search for truth.

  11. CH4 694 Brother, Sister, Let Me Serve You

    1. Brother, sister, let me serve you,
      let me be as Christ to you;
      pray that I may have the grace to
      let you be my servant too.

    2. We are pilgrims on a journey,
      and companions on the road;
      we are here to help each other
      walk the mile and bear the load.

    3. I will hold the Christ-light for you
      In the night-time of your fear;
      I will hold my hand out to you,
      speak the peace you long to hear.

    4. I will weep when you are weeping;
      when you laugh I’ll laugh with you;
      I will share your joy and sorrow
      till we’ve seen this journey through.

    5. When we sing to God in heaven
      we shall find such harmony,
      born of all we’ve known together
      of Christ’s love and agony.

    6. Brother, sister, let me serve you,
      let me be as Christ to you;
      pray that I may have the grace to
      let you be my servant too.
