Order of Worship
Welcome. As you join our time of worship, Peter Eve will be playing music and all participants will be muted. You may ‘chat’ to one another as you gather.
|
Please remain ‘muted’ unless you are speaking. When we sing and pray together, we will hear one voice, and the others will be muted. But feel free to sing as loud as you like at home. There’s a time-lag that creates chaos if we all try to sing or talk together.

Gathering Prayer & the Lord’s Prayer
|
|
Out of the depths I cry to you, O God.
|
|
Eternal One, hear my voice!
|
|
Let your ears be attentive
|
|
to the voice of my supplications!
|
|
If you, O God, should mark iniquities,
|
|
But there is forgiveness with you,
|
|
so that you may be revered.
|
|
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
|
|
and in God’s word I hope;
|
|
my soul waits for the Lord
|
|
more than those who watch for the morning,
|
|
more than those who watch for the morning.
|
|
O Israel, hope in the Lord!
|
|
For with God there is steadfast love,
|
|
and with God is great power to redeem.
|
|
It is God who will redeem Israel

Scripture Mark 4:35-41 Jesus stills a storm
|
On that day, when evening had come, Jesus said to them, ‘Let us go across to the other side.’ And leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. Other boats were with him.
|
A great gale arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already being swamped. But Jesus was in the stern, asleep on the cushion.
|
And they woke Jesus up and said to him, ‘Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?’
|
Jesus woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace! Be still!’ Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm.
|
|
Jesus said to them, ‘Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?’ And they were filled with great awe and said to one another, ‘Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey?’
|
Here ends the reading. May God bless our hearing with understanding.
|
Sermon Seeking stillness, deepening spirituality and connecting community
|
|
Be still and know that I am God.
|
|
And there is none beside me
|
|
Be still and know that I am God.
|
And there is none beside me
|
|
I am the Lord that healeth thee
|
|
And there is none beside me
|
|
I am the Lord that healeth thee
|
And there is none beside me
|
|
In thee, O Lord, I put my trust.
|
|
And there is none beside thee
|
|
In thee, O Lord, I put my trust.
|
And there is none beside thee
|
Healing God, we put our trust in you.

Closing Hymn Rejoice & Sing 95
|
|
God is Love, let heav'n adore him.
|
|
God is Love, let earth rejoice.
|
|
Let creation sing before him,
|
|
and exalt him with one voice.
|
|
He who laid the earth's foundation,
|
|
he who spread the heav'ns above,
|
|
he who breathes through all creation,
|
he is Love, eternal Love.
|
|
God is Love: and he enfoldeth
|
|
all the world in one embrace;
|
|
with unfailing grasp he holdeth
|
|
every child of every race.
|
|
And when human hearts are breaking
|
|
then they find that selfsame aching
|
deep within the heart of God.
|
|
God is Love: and though with blindness
|
|
sin afflicts the souls of all,
|
|
God's eternal loving-kindness
|
|
holds and guides us when we fall.
|
|
Sin and death and hell shall never
|
|
o'er us final triumph gain;
|
|
God is Love, so Love for ever
|
o'er the universe must reign.
|
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with each of us now and forever. Amen.
