Welcome and Intimations

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.

CH4 135 O Laughing Light, O First-Born of Creation

   radiance of glory, light from light begotten,
   God self-revealing, holy, bright, and blessed:
   you shine upon us.
   

2. Day’s light is fragile; your light is eternal.
   We look to you, our light within the shadow.
   We sing to you, Creator, Christ, and Spirit;
   you shine before us.
   

3. Light of the world, O Jesus Christ, we bless you!
   Giver of life and Child of God, we praise you!
   Hear as the universe proclaims your glory!
   You shine among us.

Message

CH4 355 You, Lord, Are Both Lamb and Shepherd

1. You, Lord, are both Lamb and Shepherd.
   You, Lord, are both prince and slave.
   You, peacemaker and swordbringer
   Of the way you took and gave.
   You the everlasting instant;
   You, whom we both scorn and crave.
   

2. Clothed in light upon the mountain,
   Stripped of might upon the cross,
   Shining in eternal glory,
   Beggar’d by a soldier’s toss,
   You, the everlasting instant;
   You, who are both gift and cost.
   

3. You, who walk each day beside us,
   Sit in power at God’s side.
   You, who preach a way that’s narrow,
   Have a love that reaches wide.
   You, the everlasting instant;
   You, who are our pilgrim guide.
   

4. Worthy is our earthly Jesus!
   Worthy is our cosmic Christ!
   Worthy your defeat and vict’ry.
   Worthy still your peace and strife.
   You, the everlasting instant;
   You, who are our death and life.

   So our faces display Your likeness
   Ever-changing from glory to glory
   Mirrored here, may our lives tell Your story
   Shine on me, shine on me
   

   Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this land with the Father's glory
   Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire
   Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy
