WELCOME & CALL TO WORSHIP

HYMN: CH3 445

1. Make me a captive, Lord, And then I shall be free; Force me to render up my sword, And I shall conqueror be. I sink in life’s alarms When by myself I stand; Imprison me within thine arms, And strong shall be my hand. 2. My heart is weak and poor Until it master find; It has no spring of action sure - It varies with the wind. It cannot freely move Till thou hast wrought its chain; Enslave it with thy matchless love, And deathless it shall reign.

3. My power is faint and low Till I have learned to serve; It wants the needed fire to glow, It wants the breeze to nerve; It cannot drive the world, Until itself be driven; Its flag can only be unfurled When thou shalt breathe from heaven. 4. My will is not my own Till thou hast made it thine; If it would reach a monarch’s throne, It must its crown resign. It only stands unbent, Amid the clashing strife, When on thy bosom it has leant, And found in thee its life.

CALL TO PRAYER & 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.

FIRST READING: Exodus 3: 1–12

PSALM: 119: 33 – 40

SECOND READING: Matthew 16: 21–28

THE APOSTLES’ CREED

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth: and in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

HYMN: CH3 450

1. Saviour, teach me, day by day, Love's sweet lesson to obey; Sweeter lesson cannot be, Loving him who first loved me. 2. With a child's glad heart of love At thy bidding may I move, Prompt to serve and follow thee, Loving him who first loved me.

3. Teach me thus thy steps to trace, Strong to follow in thy grace, Learning how to love from thee, Loving him who first loved me. 4. Love in loving finds employ, In obedience all her joy; Ever new that joy will be, Loving him who first loved me

5. Thus may I rejoice to show That I feel the love I owe;

Singing, till thy face I see, Of his love who first loved me.

ANTHEM: Almighty and everlasting God – O Gibbons PRAYER OF GRATITUDE AND CONCERN HYMN: CH3 338

1. Spirit of mercy, truth, and love, O shed thine influence from above, And still from age to age convey The wonders of this sacred day.

2. In every clime, by every tongue, Be God's surpassing glory sung; Let all the listening earth be taught The acts our great Redeemer wrought.

3. Unfailing comfort, heavenly guide, Still o'er thy holy church preside; Still let us all thy blessings prove, Spirit of mercy, truth, and love.
