Scripture & Gathering
Opening Hymn RS 74 Praise to the Lord – Joachim Neander, Catherine Winkworth © PD CCL No. 43073
1
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise him, for he is thy health and salvation:
come ye who hear,
brothers and sisters, draw near,
praise him in glad adoration!
2
Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth,
bears thee on eagles’ wings, and through all troubles sustaineth:
hast thou not seen, all that is needful hath been
granted in what he ordaineth?
3
Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee!
Surely his goodness and mercy here daily attend thee:
ponder anew, all the Almighty can do,
who with his love doth befriend thee.
4
Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him!
All that hath life and breath come now with praises before him!
Let the amen, sound from his people again:
gladly for aye we adore him!

Prayers for our world Barbara Anderson
Scripture Matthew 11: 16-19 & 25-30 Frances Williams
Hymn RS 349 I heard the voice of Jesus say – H. Bonar © The United Reformed Church CCL No. 2642822
1
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
‘Come unto me and rest;
lay down, O weary one, lay down
your head upon my breast.’
I came to Jesus as I was,
forlorn and faint and sad;
I found in him a resting place,
and he has made me glad.
2
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
‘Behold, I freely give
the living water; thirsty one,
stoop down, and drink, and live.’
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.
3
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
‘I am this dark world’s light;
look unto me, your morn shall rise,
and all your day be bright.’
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In him my star, my sun;
and in that light of life, I’ll walk,
till travelling days are done.
Sermon "And this is what you do....." Revd David Witts
Communion hymn: SP 218 Jesus calls us here to meet him – John Bell & Graham Maule © 1989 WGRG CCL 878695
1
Jesus calls us here to meet him
as, through word and song and prayer,
we affirm God’s promised presence
where his people live and care.
Praise the God who keeps his promise;
praise the Son who calls us friends;
praise the Spirit who, among us,
to our hopes and fears attends.
2
Jesus calls us to his table
rooted firm in time and space,
where the Church in earth and heaven
finds a common meeting place.
Share the bread and wine, his body;
share the love of which we sing;
share the feast of saints and sinners
hosted by our Lord and King.
Celebration of Communion
Invitation and Assurance: Acts 2:44-47
Blessing & sharing the meal
Prayer of Thanksgiving (in unison)
God of gentleness, thank you for relieving our burdens and for filling our emptiness with the Bread of Life. Create of us the living Body of Christ, that in these challenging times we might witness the power and possibility of your love and peace in our world today. Amen.

Closing Hymn SP 231 Sent by the Lord am I – Jorge Maldonado © words 1991 Abingdon Press, music 1991 WGRG CCL 4773768
Sent by the Lord am I; my hands are ready now
to make the earth the place in which the kingdom comes.
Sent by the Lord am I; my hands are ready now
to make the earth the place in which the kingdom comes.
The angels cannot change a world of hurt and pain
into a world of love, of justice and of peace.
The task is mine to do, to set it really free.
Oh help me to obey; help me to do your will.
Sending Forth & the Grace
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit
be with us all now and forever. Amen.

If you are not going to stay for the fellowship groups, now is your opportunity to say and wave goodbye.

Breakout Fellowship groups (get yourself a cuppa and enjoy conversation)
• If you are going to join a breakout fellowship group, the invitation will come up on your screen in about 2 minutes.
• If you are on the telephone you will be in a group, so do not hang up. Or if you need to hang up and call back in, use the same telephone number and meeting ID number.
• These are groups of 6 decided randomly by Zoom, giving us all the opportunity to possibly get to know new friends. Introduce yourselves in your group and enjoy a time of conversation and fellowship.
• If your group is too small or too large, you may leave the group and return to the main group and be re-assigned to a new group.
• You may choose to leave the Zoom gathering before going to a breakout group or anytime while you are in the breakout group.
• We hope you’ll give them a try and enjoy a time of fellowship.
• Ana & Tod will be ‘dropping in’ on each group to say hello.

Go in peace to share

God's new life and hope!

Reminders to keep our Zoom service running smoothly:
  • Please keep your microphone muted unless you are speaking.
  • If you accidently leave Zoom, you can login again with the same link.
  • Do NOT click on the green button that says 'share screen' (or we will see everything open on your computer!)
  • When we sing and pray together, we will hear one voice, and the others will be muted.
  • If the technology is compromised for any reason or goes totally wonky, we will end the on-line service immediately. If that should happen, we’ll try to restart as soon as possible, sending out an email to notify you.
  • At this time, we are not requiring a password, to ease the access for those still learning the 'Zoom ropes'.
