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 124 Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

(Ps. 145)

1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation;
   praise God, my soul, for in him are your health and salvation;
   come all who hear,
   into his presence draw near,
   joining in glad adoration.
   

2. Praise to the Lord, who in all things is wondrously reigning,
   shields you from harm and is gently yet firmly sustaining.
   Have you not seen
   how your heart's wishes have been
   granted by God's wise ordaining?
   

3. Praise to the Lord, who with blessing and power will defend you;
   surely his goodness and mercy shall daily attend you;
   ponder anew
   what the Almighty can do:
   God will for ever befriend you.
   

4. Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him!
   All that has life and breath, come now with praises before him!
   Let the Amen
   sound from God's people again:
   gladly for ever adore him.
   

1. Isaiah 55:1-5
2. Matthew 14:13-21

   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

   Fill this land with the Father’s glory
   Blaze, Spirit, blaze
   Set our hearts on fire

Message

CH4 524 Jesus Christ, Our Living Lord

1. Jesus Christ, our living Lord,
   we believe you keep your word.
   Whatever may befall us,
   stretch or stall us,
   we’ll trust your voice to call us.
   

2. In the humblest things we do,
   we’ll account ourselves to you,
   making your love our measure,
   truth and treasure;
   your will our joy and pleasure.
   

3. Food enough that all may feed,
   grace enough for each one’s need:
   here as we praise you, singing,
   you come bringing
   gifts at the day’s beginning.
   

4. Lord in all we do today,
   let our lives prepare your way.
   May peace and love befriend us
   and defend us
   where you require and send us.

CH4 508 I Bind My Heart This Tide

1. I bind my heart this tide
   to the Galilean's side,
   to the wounds of Calvary,
   to the Christ who died for me.
   

2. I bind my soul this day
   to the neighbour far away,
   to the stranger near at hand,
   in this town, and in this land.
   

3. I bind my heart and soul
   to the God, the Lord of all,
   to the God, the poor one's friend,
   and the Christ whom he did send.
   

4. I bind myself to peace,
   to make strife and envy cease.
   My God, fasten sure the cord
   of my service to the Lord!

CH4 655 For Your Generous Providing

Tune: Holy Manna

1. For your generous providing
   which sustain us all our days,
   for your Spirit here residing,
   we proclaim our heartfelt praise.
   Through the depths of joy and sorrow,
   though the road be smooth or rough,
   fearless, we can face tomorrow
   for your grace will be enough.
   

2. Hush our world’s seductive noises
   tempting us to stand alone;
   save us from the siren voices
   calling us to trust our own.
   For those snared by earthly treasure,
   lured by false security,
   Jesus, true and only measure,
   spring the trap to set folk free.
   

3. Round your table, through your giving,
   show us how to live and pray
   till your kingdom’s way of living
   is the bread we share each day:
   bread for us and for our neighbour,
   bread for body, mind, and soul,
   bread of heaven and human labour –
   broken bread that makes us whole.
