Message for our friends at St Martins:
Hello to everyone.
We have completed our tour of Eastern Europe and cycled from Passau to Vienna.
We enjoyed listening to the world biggest organ in St Stephen’s , Passau. She played a variety of music but we enjoyed Bach’s Toccata und Fugue. Eat your heart out Bill and Rob!! We heard a quartet in Vienna play Mozart and went to hear Gershwin in a Spanish Synagogue in Prague.
We have had a variety of weather from wet with floods to over 30 degree days. Hope you are all coping with the winter weather.

GATHERING: (from the rear of the church)

HYMN: Lord, For the Years
Lord, for the years your love has kept and guided,
urged and inspired us, cheered us on our way,
sought us and saved us, pardoned and provided:
Lord of the years, we bring our thanks today.

Lord, for that word, the word of life which fires us,
speaks to our hearts and sets our souls ablaze,
teaches and trains, rebukes us and inspires us:
Lord of the word, receive your people’s praise.

Lord, for our land in this our generation,
spirits oppressed by pleasure, wealth and care:
for young and old, for commonwealth and nation,
Lord of our land, be pleased to hear our prayer.

Lord, for our world; when we disown and doubt you,
loveless in strength, and comfortless in pain,
hungry and helpless, lost indeed without you:
Lord of the world, we pray that Christ may reign.

OPENING PRAYERS & THE LORD’S PRAYER

What We Wore

SONG: Jesus Loves Me (With a difference!)
Jesus loves me, this I know, Jesus loves me, this I know,
and the Bible tells me so; as he loved so long ago,
little ones to him belong, taking children on his knee,
in his love we shall be strong. saying, ‘Let them come to me.’

Yes, Jesus loves me,
yes, Jesus loves me,
yes, Jesus loves me,
the Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me this I know Though my steps are oh so slow
though my hair is white as snow with my hand in his I’ll go
though my sight is growing dim on through life come what may
still he bids me trust in him. he’ll be there to lead the way.

Jesus loves me still today,
walking with me on my way,
wanting as a friend to give
light and love to all who live. C/A

REFLECTION: Into new futures

A TIME OF QUIET

THE OFFERING
In faith, we dare to venture forth.
In faith, we dare to claim God’s promises. In faith, we dare to give.
As you have been with us on our journeys, as you have gifted us with healing beyond our dreams, as you have transformed us into new people, so we give back to you. Bless these offerings, bless our discipleship, and commission us afresh to your work, in your world. Amen.

THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE

HYMN: Now to your table spread
Now to your table spread we come, each one, in faith
that you alone provide the words of life and death:
in wine and bread, in promised food
we find your loving heart, O God.

Hands of the world stretch out, your mystery to touch
in longing to believe a truth beyond our reach,
to sing in joy, to cry in grief,
to know your meaning for our life.

Here is our common wealth in sharing what is good,
as though all humankind around one table stood,
this bread to break, this wine to taste –
one people in the name of Christ. © Shirley Murray (AA)

A PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING
In the company of friends… for we are all welcome:
in the grace of Christ,
the love of God
and the companionship of the Spirit.

Gathered by kindness… past, present and yet to come:
Holy, holy, holy, God of power and might,
Heaven and earth are full of your glory,
Hosanna in the highest!
Blessed is the One who comes in the name of our God.
Hosanna in the highest!

Risen Christ … what have we to offer?
Our hands are open, yet our hearts may be full of unworthy things.
It is your gracious power to change us
that remains our hope and courage for living…

COMMUNION

PRAYER FOLLOWING COMMUNION

HYMN: Loving Spirit, Great Creator (Tune: Hyfrydol WOV 148ii)
Loving Spirit, great Creator,
gracious Saviour, holy God.
We who worship and adore you
stand in awe on hallowed sod.
We would move in new directions,
in the service of your call.
Journey with us; keep us faithful
where you lead, we follow still.

Grant us in our inward journeys,
depth of insight, calm of heart;
flowering spirits, strength of purpose,
listening hearts (prayer’s purest art).
As disciples – Christ our teacher –
and as stewards of your grace,
grant us wisdom, faith, and courage
for our time and in this place.

When you call us for new service
through community or church,
may our full response be joyful
in our labour, love, and search.
Keep us focused, strong yet selfless,
daring paths untrod before,
delving deep beyond the surface
of each challenge to its core.

May our ministries and mission
stretch our vision pole to pole,
reaching outward, reaching inward,
touching body, heart, and soul.
People working, loving, sharing,
building bridges, clearing space –
finding in our mutual service
Christ in every human face. © JP Huber (SiC)

SUNG BLESSING – Tune: Edelweiss
May the Lord, mighty God, bless and keep you for ever;
grant you peace, perfect peace, courage in every endeavour.
Lift up your eyes and see his face and his grace for ever;
may the Lord, mighty God, bless and keep you for ever. C/A

CALL TO WORSHIP: Psalm 150 (from Psalms for Praying)
Praise the Lord!
Praise be to God in earth’s sanctuary;
praise be to God in the mighty firmament!
Praise his mighty works of love;
praise the glory and extol the greatness of Love Divine!

Give praise with trumpets;
give praise with lute and harp!
Give praise with tambourine and dance;
give praise with strings and pipe!
Give praise with booming drums;
give praise with crashing cymbals!
Let everything that breathes
praise the Lord with their lives!
May it be so now and forever. © Nan Merrill

HYMN: With a Hoot and a Toot
With a hoot and a toot
on a pipe or a flute
we will praise, we will worship God;
with a hum or a thrum,
with a roll on a drum,
we will make him a joyful noise.
Bow a cello that is mellow,
sound a trumpet call,
blow a horn and a deep bassoon;
every instrument is playing,
with our voices we are saying
we rejoice, we are glad in God.

With a flat or a sharp,
with a chord on a harp,
we will praise, we will worship God;
with a ping on a string,
with a choir that can sing,
we will make him a joyful noise.
With the clap of a hand,
or the sound of a band,
we will praise, we will worship God;
with a paper and comb,
on an old trombone,
we will make him a joyful noise.

With a peal on a bell,
with a cheer or a yell,
we will praise, we will worship God;
with a bong on a gong,
through the words of this song,
we will make him a joyful noise. © Colin Gibson (AA)

OPENING PRAYERS

TIME WITH THE CHILDREN

SONG: How is Jesus Present?
RIGHT SIDE: How is Jesus present? How is Jesus present?
How is Jesus present today?
Tell me how he’s present.
Tell me how he’s present.
Tell me how he’s present today.

LEFT SIDE: He’s present in the children, present in the family,
present in the meal that you share.
He’s present when you’re laughing,
present when you’re giving,
present when you listen and care.

R—side But I cannot see him, but I cannot see him,
but I cannot see him today.
Are you just pretending?
How can it be real?
I would like to see him today.

L- side Every time you listen, every time you’re sorry,
every time you care for a friend,
that is when he’s present,
though you do not see him,
“I am with you always”, he said.

ALL – Now I understand. Now I understand.
Let us celebrate today!
He’s present in the WORD,
present in the PEOPLE,
present in the breaking of BREAD.
© Cecily Sheehy (AA)
SKETCH: The Hypothetical Anniversary

A ROUND

THE SKETCH CONTINUES

READING: I Will Sing to My God ~ Sue Saunders
(A New Psalm in the Celtic Tradition – David Adam)

GWEN AND THE MUSIC GROUP

THE GIFT OF MUSIC

HYMN: Ours is a Singing Faith (Tune: Diademata WOV 163)
Ours is a singing faith! Now here the hymns we raise.
Resounding, strong, the years along and echoing our praise.
Ours is a singing faith! In confidence we sing:
Creation’s throne is God’s alone, so joyous voices ring.

Men:
Ours is a singing faith! Through all the ebb and flow
of youth and age, on history’s page we see saints come and go.
Ours is a singing faith! The melody rolls on,
sustained by those whose voices rose in praise in times long gone.

Women:
Ours is a singing faith! Upheld by work and prayer
that justice, peace and hope not cease but flourish everywhere.
Ours is a singing faith! Though grief or pain hold sway,
Christ still shall dwell, Emmanuel! God with us all the way.

Ours is a singing faith! All thanks to God be sung
by people here both far and near in every land and tongue.
Ours is a singing faith! Let psalms and anthems rise
from sun and moon and stars in tune till music fills the skies!
© Jane Parker Huber (ASF)

THE OFFERING: Music Group (Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves)

As we celebrate this day, we give you thanks God, for the gift of song, and for music that expresses what words cannot say.
We bring these gifts as an expression of our thanksgiving.
Bless them, and us we pray, as we seek to serve in and with the neighbourhoods and communities around us, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE & THE LORD’S PRAYER

HYMN: Throughout this Winter Season (Tune: WOV 176 Tyrolese)
Throughout this winter season,
in nature’s mid-year womb,
Christ grant you life and laughter
to lighten frosty gloom –
to lift our flagging spirits
beyond these short-lived days
to Advent and each coming
which fills our lives with praise.

You come as puddles crackle
beneath the children’s feet:
you come in leafless branches
outlined against the sleet:
you come when lives diminish
as smog envelopes all:
you come as snow which blankets
earth’s grime beneath its fall.

You come as fire and candle
and all that warms the heart:
you come in party feasting,
in music, dance and art:
you come in ancient stories
of years that are no more:
you come as liberation
and power for all the poor.

We seek to know your presence
in grey days and in bright:
in all the earth’s abundance
and during nature’s night:
but when we cannot see you
through blindness or through pain
enfold us in your dying
and rise in us again. © Bill Wallace (STC)
