Processional Hymn Be Not Afraid..................................................................................................... CongregationOrder of Service

You shall cross the barren desert, but you shall not die of thirst.You shall wander far in safety though you do not know the way.

You shall speak your words in foreign lands and they will understand.You shall see the face of God and live.

RefrainBe not afraid.

I go before you always.Come follow me, andI will give you rest.

If you pass through raging waters in the sea, you shall not drown.If you walk amid the burning flames, you shall not be harmed.If you stand before the pow'r of hell and death is at your side,

Know thatI am with you through it all.

Blessed are your poor, for the Kingdom shall be theirs.Blest are you that weep and mourn, for one day you shall laugh.

And if wicked men insult and hate you all because of me, blessed, blessed are you!

Introductory Greeting

Priest: The Lord be with you.

Opening PrayerLiturgy of the Word

I, John, saw a new heaven and a new earth. The former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and thesea was no more. I also saw the holy city, a new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared asa bride adorned for her husband. I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with

the human race. He will dwell with them and they will be his people and God himself will always be with themas their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or

pain, for the old order has passed away.”The one who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the begin-ning and the end. To the thirsty I will give a gift from the spring of life-giving water. The victor will inherit

these gifts, and I shall be his God, and he will be my son.”

The word of the Lord.

Responsorial Psalm: The Lord Is My Shepherd

The Lord is my Shepherd;He is Lord, and I am his guest

Fresh and green are the pasturesWhere He leads me to my rest

Near peaceful waters He leads meTo cheer up my cheerless heart.He guides me on the safe path

He will always do His part

Refrain:If I should ever walk in the valley of darkness,

No evil would I fear;You are there to show the way,

If I should ever walk in the valley of darkness,Your crook and Your Staff

They will lead me to the day

You prepare a banquet in the sight of my foesYou cool my head with oil,And my cup now overflows

Surely goodness and kindness will bewith me all the way

The Lord’s house for my dwellingI will thank him every day

Glory be to the Father;Glory to His only SonGlory be to the Spirit

Glory, glory to ev’ryone

Second Reading: 1 Thessalonians 4: 13 - 18 ............................................................................... Adriannie Webb

A reading from the first Letter of Saint Paul to the ThessaloniansWe do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you may

not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose, so too will God, throughJesus, bring with him those who have fallen asleep. Indeed, we tell you this, on the word of the Lord, that wewho are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will surely not precede those who have fallen asleep.For the Lord himself, with a word of command, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God,

will come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will becaught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Thus we shall always be with the Lord.

Therefore, console one another with these words.

The word of the Lord.

All : Glory to You O Lord

At that time Jesus answered: “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of the heaven and earth, for although you have hiddenthese things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, such has been your gra-cious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one

knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.”“Come to me, all you who labour and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from

me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves.For my yoke is easy, and my burden light”

Deacon: The Gospel of the Lord

Hymn: Amazing Grace ................................................................................................................................. Congregation

Amazing grace! How sweet the soundThat saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found;Was blind, but now I see.

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,And grace my fears relieved;

How precious did that grace appearThe hour I first believed.

. Through many dangers, toils and snares,I have already come;

’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,His Word my hope secures;

He will my Shield and Portion be,As long as life endures.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,Bright shining as the sun,

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praiseThan when we’d first begun.

Recessional Hymn How Great Thou Art........................................................................................... Congregation

Oh Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonderConsider all the works Thy hands have made

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunderThy power throughout the universe displayed

RefrainThen sings my soul, my Savior God to TheeHow great Thou art! How great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to TheeHow great Thou art! How great Thou art!

When through the woods, and forest glades I wanderAnd hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees

When I look down from lofty mountain grandeurAnd see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze

And when I think that God, His Son not sparingSent Him to die, I scarce can take it in

That on the cross, my burden gladly bearingHe bled and died to take away my sin
