Tis only the splendour Of light hideth Thee
Call To Repentance & Renewal
~ based on Exodus 20 ~
Leader: God spoke His holy Law to our forefathers saying, I am
the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of
the house of slavery.
You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for
yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything. You shall
not bow down to them or serve them. You shall not take the name of
the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless
who takes His name in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Honour your father
and mother. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your
neighbour. You shall not covetanything that is your neighbours.
Prayer Of Confession ~ Silent Confession & Reflection ~
The Words Of The Gospel ~ Galatians 3 & 2 Timothy 1 ~
Leader: The Scriptures tell us, Christ redeemed us from the
curse of the law by becoming a curse for us.
Know that God saved us and called us to a holy calling, not
because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace,
which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, and which
now has been manifested through the appear-ing of our Saviour,
Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality
to light through the gospel.

The Prayers Of The People For The Church & City

Unison: Our Father in Heaven, hallow-ed be your name. Your
Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we

Our Confession Of Faith ~ Psalm 23 ~
Leader: Let us confess our trust and confidence in Christ, our
God and Good Shepherd.
Unison: The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not be in want. He
makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still
waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness
for His names sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I
will fear no evil, for you are with me; Your rod and Your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You
anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and
mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in
the house of the Lord forever.
The Benediction
~ 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 ~
Leader: Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our
Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope
through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good
work and word.
Unison: Amen!
