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 63 All People That on Earth Do Dwell

1. All people that on earth do dwell,
   sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
   Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell,
   come ye before him and rejoice.
   

2. Know that the Lord is God indeed;
   without our aid he did us make;
   we are his folk, he doth us feed,
   and for his sheep he doth us take.
   

3. Oh, enter then his gates with praise,
   approach with joy his courts unto:
   praise, laud, and bless his name always,
   for it is seemly so to do.
   

4. For why? the Lord our God is good,
   his mercy is for ever sure;
   his truth at all times firmly stood,
   and shall from age to age endure.
   

1. John 5:1-9
2. Acts 16:9-15

CH4 45 Lord, Bless Us and Pity Us

(Psalm 67)

1. Lord, bless and pity us,
   shine on us with your face:
   that your way may be known on earth,
   all nations know your grace.
   

2. Let people praise you, Lord;
   let all the people praise.
   Oh, let the nations all be glad,
   in songs their voices raise:
   

3. You'll justly people judge,
   on earth rule nations all.
   Let people praise you, Lord; let them
   praise you, both great and small.
   

4. The earth her fruit shall yield,
   our God shall blessing send.
   God shall us bless; all shall him fear
   unto earth's utmost end.
   

Message

GWA 82 Here and Now We’re Bound Together

(Tune: Hyfrydol)

1. Here and now we’re bound together
   held in one divine embrace.
   Help us see, in one another,
   difference as a gift of grace.
   As each passing generation
   worships you in fresh new ways.
   join our songs with all creation,
   lift our voice to sing your praise.
   

2. Lord, affirm our shared vocation:
   may we bring your plans to birth,
   build your Church on sure foundations,
   fit to serve a troubled earth.
   Growing, praying, sharing, learning,
   deep in wisdom, broad in scope,
   love-revealing, truth-discerning,
   living out the gospel hope.
   

3. In your work of transformation
   you are making all things new.
   Stir our hearts’ imagination,
   call us now to work with you.
   Send us out to share your mission;
   show us each our part to play
   as we live the Great Commission
   joyful in the world today.

CH4 530 One more step along the world I go

1. One more step along the world I go
   One more step along the world I go
   From the old things to the new
   Keep me traveling along with you
   

   And it's from the old I travel to the new
   Keep me traveling along with you
   

2. 'Round the corners of the world I turn
   More and more about the world I learn
   And the new things that I see
   You'll be looking at along with me
   

   And it's from the old I travel to the new
   Keep me traveling along with you
   

3. As I travel through the bad and good
   Keep me traveling the way I should
   Where I see no way to go
   You'll be telling me the way, I know
   

   And it's from the old I travel to the new
   Keep me traveling along with you
   

4. Give me courage when the world is rough
   Keep me loving though the world is tough
   Leap and sing in all I do
   Keep me traveling along with you
   

   And it's from the old I travel to the new
   Keep me traveling along with you
   

5. You are older than the world can be
   You are younger than the life in me
   Ever old and ever new
   Keep me traveling along with you
   

   And it's from the old I travel to the new
   Keep me traveling along with you
