SERVICE OF THANKSGIVING

We honour the past

We rejoice in present blessings

We dedicate ourselves to the

future

For Reflection

Education:

by that I understand not merely the imparting of

knowledge, but the drawing out of the powers of

the mind, spirit, and body;

the evoking of a reverence for the truth,

and the use of the imagination in its pursuit.

Michael Ramsey

100th Archbishop of Canterbury

Jubilate, ev’ry body,

serve the Lord in all your ways, and

come before his presence singing;

enter now his courts with praise.

For the Lord our God is gracious,

And his mercy’s everlasting.

Jubilate, jubilate,

Jubilate Deo!

To be sung three times:

Commemoration

We remember with thanks all those whose

generosity and example have so enriched

and secured our present good fortune.

If I have been able to see further,

It was only because I stood on the shoulders

of giants.

Thanksgiving

We thank God for all his blessings

Anthem sung by Chamber Choir

Look at the World Music by John Rutter

Look at the world, everything all around us and

marvel everyday…..Give us thankful hearts….

Every good gift, all that we need and cherish

comes from the Lord as a token of his love.

We are his hands, stewards of his bounty; His is

the earth and his the heavens above.

Our God, our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come,

Our shelter from the stormy blast,

And our eternal home.

Under the shadow of thy throne

Thy saints have dwelt secure;

Sufficient is thine arm alone,

And our defence is sure.

Before the hills in order stood,

Or earth received her frame,

From everlasting thou art God,

To endless years the same.

Our God, our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come,

Be thou our guard while troubles last,

And our eternal home.

We thank God for this School, and for those

who founded and endowed it, for those by

whose example we learn:

We thank you Lord

“I am accomplishing one of my

dreams- I am going to university!

The House of Opportunity helped

me not to end up in prostitution or

crime. I never had to steal to eat. I

have seen this happen to other

young people: they didn’t have

another choice. Once I am up on

my feet, I will be helping this

house like it helped me.”

...but we want to do more...

Making a difference…

Restoring dignity, reviving hope

And did those feet in ancient time

Walk upon England's mountains green

And was the holy lamb of God

On England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the countenance divine

Shine forth upon our clouded hills?

And was Jerusalem builded here

Among those dark Satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold,

Bring me my arrows of desire,

Bring me my spear, O clouds unfold,

Bring me my chariot of fire.

I will not cease from mental fight

Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,

'Til we have built Jerusalem

In England's green and pleasant land.

Dedication

Our response and commitment to the future

Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud

of witnesses ...............let us run with

perseverance the race that is set before us.

Hebrews 12:1

Prayers Refrain All sung once

Ubi Caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.

(Where Love is there is God)

Our Father, which art in Heaven,

Hallowed be thy name;

Thy kingdom come;

Thy will be done in earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

And forgive us our trespasses

As we forgive them that 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

Sung Once Ubi Caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.

(Where Love is there is God)

When I needed a neighbour,

were you there, were you there?

When I needed a neighbour,

were you there?

And the creed and the colour and the

name won’t matter, were you there?

I was hungry and thirsty,

were you there, were you there?

I was hungry and thirsty,

were you there?

And the creed and the colour and the name won’t matter, were you there?

I was cold, I was naked,

were you there, were you there?

I was cold, I was naked,

were you there?

And the creed and the colour and the

name won’t matter, were you there?

When I needed a shelter,

were you there, were you there?

When I needed a shelter,

were you there?

And the creed and the colour and the

name won’t matter, were you there?

When I needed a healer,

were you there, were you there?

When I needed a healer,

were you there?

And the creed and the colour and the

name won’t matter, were you there?

Wherever you travel,

I’ll be there, I’ll be there,

Wherever you travel, I’ll be there,

And the creed and the colour and the

name won’t matter, I’ll be there!
