From Rev. Kenute’s Desk Today is Queen`s College Appeal Sunday.
We are encouraged to give towards the
development and work of an institution that has been training clergy for our parishes since
1841. The goal and purpose are to provide
theological education, pastoral skills and
spiritual formation for those discerning their
vocations and preparing for ministry. Queen’s College boasts a strong community
and offers a wide array of degree, diploma,
and certificate programs for people at the
various stages of their discernment and
preparation for ordained and lay
ministries. Also regular continuing education for clergy and pastoral workers. Programs are
offered for full-time and part-time students,
both on campus and by distance. Queen’s College is a Christ-centered, Spirit-
filled Theological College, rooted in the
Anglican tradition, and has strong
partnerships with other denominations.
People of all faiths who wish to join our
community in common pursuit of theological
insight, pastoral skills and spiritual growth
are welcomed. For those who will seek to fulfil a calling in
ordained ministry and for lay people in the
pews who want to serve their church better,
Queen`s College is the place for you.
Every gift and support given to Queen`s College we directly support the church locally, the parish, the Diocese and the
Province. Give generously.
WELCOME: to all parishioners, visitors & friends. We are happy you have joined us and do hope that this service is a blessing for you. Please let us know how we can best serve you.

Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my
power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s
Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

CONTEMPORARY EUCHARIST Processional Hymn: Here I Am to Worship
Light of the world, you stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes and let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore you
Hope of a life spent with you. (Chorus)
Here I am to worship, here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that you’re my God
Altogether lovely, altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me.
King of all days, oh so highly exalted
You’re glorious in heaven above.
Humbly you came to this Earth You created
All for love’s sake became poor. (Chorus)
I’ll never know how much it cost
To see my sin up on that cross
I’ll never know how much it cost
To see my sin up on that cross (Chorus 2X)
The Greeting
Leader: The grace and love of the Lord Jesus be with you all.
All: And also with you. Priest: As we come for worship, let us remind ourselves that love is not
an optional extra for those in Christ’s Church;
All: We will be totally loving as Christ is perfectly loving. Priest: God’s Spirit dwells in us, for we are God’s temple.
All: We belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God. Praise the Lord! All: Holy, loving and faithful God; teach us to fear you without
being afraid, to serve you without limits and to worship you
without constraints. You are perfect in grace, perfect in mercy,
and perfect in truth. With you there is always light and life and
holy joy. Wonderful is your name today and for ever! Amen. Sunday School Talk: Children`s Song: Emmanuel

God with us, revealed in us.
His name is called Emmanuel.

Priest: Almighty God, your Son revealed in signs and miracles the wonder
of your saving love. Renew your people with your heavenly grace,
and in all our weakness sustain us by your mighty power; through
Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and forever.
All: Amen. THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD
First Reading: Leviticus 19:1-2, 9-18 [The people of Israel will be holy because of their association with the Lord their God, who is by nature holy. God set them aside for that purpose.]
For the Psalm: A Medley of Songs
He Has Made Me Glad
I will enter his gates with thanksgiving in my heart,
I will enter His courts with praise.
I will say, “This is the day that the Lord has made,
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.”
He has made me glad, He has made me glad;
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.
He has made me glad, He has made me glad;
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.
Ev’ry Time I Feel the Spirit
Ev’ry time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart, I will pray (X2) Up on the mountain when my Lord spoke,
Out of His mouth came fire and smoke
Looked all around me, it looked so fine
I asked my Lord if all was mine.
Ev’ry time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart, I will pray (X2)
I’ll Fly Away
Some glad morning when this life is o’er, I’ll fly away
To a home on God’s celestial shore, I’ll fly away.
I’ll fly away, O glory, I’ll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah by and by, I’ll fly away.
Do Lord
I’ve got a home in glory land that outshines the sun (X3)
Way beyond the blue.
Do Lord, O do Lord, O do remember me (X3)
Way beyond the blue.
Second Reading: I Corinthians 3:10-11, 16-23 [We are God’s temple and God’s temple is holy.”]

And lead us not into temptation, Hallowed be thy name
But deliver us from all that is evil. Hallowed be thy name
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, Hallowed be thy name
For ever and ever and ever and ever. Hallowed be thy name
Amen, Amen, it shall be so! Hallowed be thy name
Amen, Amen, it shall be so! Hallowed be thy name.
The Breaking of Bread and The Invitation Priest: We break the bread of life, and that life is the light of the world
All: God here among us, light in the midst of us, bring us to light and life. Priest: These are the gifts of God for you the people of God
All: Thanks be to God.
Sanctuary (X3)
Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary, pure and holy, tried and true
With thanksgiving, I’ll be a living, sanctuary for You.
Communion Hymns: 1. I love You, Lord and I lift my Voice
I love You, Lord and I lift my voice
To worship you, O my soul, rejoice!
Take joy, My King, in what You hear, May it be a sweet, sweet sound, In your ear.
2. It is Well with My Soul
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, You taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
It is well, with my soul, Here's my heart, make it whole
For You I live, in You I dwell, Oh my soul, It is well.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
It is well, with my soul, Here's my heart, make it whole.
For You I live, in You I dwell, Oh my soul, It is well.
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
It is well (it is well) it is well. With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, with my soul, Here's my heart, make it whole
For You I live, in You I dwell, Oh my soul, It is well.

RESPONSE TO THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD
Priest: Let us confess our faith as we say together, the Apostles Creed All: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived
by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He
ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the
communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of
the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

THE LITURGY OF THE SACRAMENT
2. Offertory Hymn: Love Each Other
All the room was hushed and still
And when the bowl was filled He stooped to wash their feet
And when it was complete, he said
This is what I'm asking you to do
This is why I'm kneeling here beside you
This is what I want my church to be This is what I want the world to see - Who it is you follow.
Love each other - One another
Love each other - In the way that I have loved you
Walk together - And whatever comes
Love each other - In the way that I have loved you
Let the room be hushed and still
Let us go to where he kneels
And join him as he serves
And learn his ways of love.
This is what I'm asking you to do This is why I'm kneeling here beside you
This is what I want my church to be
This is what I want the world to see - Who it is you follow. Prayer over The Gifts:
