From Rev. Kenute’s Desk Today is Queen`s College Appeal Sunday.

We are encouraged to give towards the

development and work of an institution that has been training clergy for our parishes since

1841. The goal and purpose are to provide

theological education, pastoral skills and

spiritual formation for those discerning their

vocations and preparing for ministry. Queen’s College boasts a strong community

and offers a wide array of degree, diploma,

and certificate programs for people at the

various stages of their discernment and

preparation for ordained and lay

ministries. Also regular continuing education for clergy and pastoral workers. Programs are

offered for full-time and part-time students,

both on campus and by distance. Queen’s College is a Christ-centered, Spirit-

filled Theological College, rooted in the

Anglican tradition, and has strong

partnerships with other denominations.

People of all faiths who wish to join our

community in common pursuit of theological

insight, pastoral skills and spiritual growth

are welcomed. For those who will seek to fulfil a calling in

ordained ministry and for lay people in the

pews who want to serve their church better,

Queen`s College is the place for you.

Every gift and support given to Queen`s College we directly support the church locally, the parish, the Diocese and the

Province. Give generously.

WELCOME: to all parishioners, visitors & friends. We are happy you have joined us and do hope that this service is a blessing for you. Please let us know how we can best serve you.

Light of the world, you stepped down into darkness

Opened my eyes and let me see

Beauty that made this heart adore you

Hope of a life spent with you. (Chorus)

Here I am to worship, here I am to bow down

Here I am to say that you’re my God

Altogether lovely, altogether worthy,

Altogether wonderful to me.

King of all days, oh so highly exalted

You’re glorious in heaven above.

Humbly you came to this Earth You created

All for love’s sake became poor. (Chorus)

I’ll never know how much it cost

To see my sin up on that cross

I’ll never know how much it cost

To see my sin up on that cross (Chorus 2X)

The Greeting

All: We belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God. Praise the Lord! All: Holy, loving and faithful God; teach us to fear you without

being afraid, to serve you without limits and to worship you

without constraints. You are perfect in grace, perfect in mercy,

and perfect in truth. With you there is always light and life and

holy joy. Wonderful is your name today and for ever! Amen. Sunday School Talk: Children`s Song: Emmanuel

First Reading: Leviticus 19:1-2, 9-18 [The people of Israel will be holy because of their association with the Lord their God, who is by nature holy. God set them aside for that purpose.]

For the Psalm: A Medley of Songs

He Has Made Me Glad

I will enter his gates with thanksgiving in my heart,

I will enter His courts with praise.

I will say, “This is the day that the Lord has made,

I will rejoice for He has made me glad.”

He has made me glad, He has made me glad;

I will rejoice for He has made me glad.

He has made me glad, He has made me glad;

I will rejoice for He has made me glad.

Ev’ry Time I Feel the Spirit

Ev’ry time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart, I will pray (X2) Up on the mountain when my Lord spoke,

Out of His mouth came fire and smoke

Looked all around me, it looked so fine

I asked my Lord if all was mine.

Ev’ry time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart, I will pray (X2)

I’ll Fly Away

Some glad morning when this life is o’er, I’ll fly away

To a home on God’s celestial shore, I’ll fly away.

I’ll fly away, O glory, I’ll fly away

When I die, Hallelujah by and by, I’ll fly away.

Do Lord

I’ve got a home in glory land that outshines the sun (X3)

Way beyond the blue.

Do Lord, O do Lord, O do remember me (X3)

Way beyond the blue.

Second Reading: I Corinthians 3:10-11, 16-23 [We are God’s temple and God’s temple is holy.”]

And lead us not into temptation, Hallowed be thy name

But deliver us from all that is evil. Hallowed be thy name

For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, Hallowed be thy name

For ever and ever and ever and ever. Hallowed be thy name

Amen, Amen, it shall be so! Hallowed be thy name.

With thanksgiving, I’ll be a living, sanctuary for You.

Communion Hymns: 1. I love You, Lord and I lift my Voice

I love You, Lord and I lift my voice

To worship you, O my soul, rejoice!

Take joy, My King, in what You hear, May it be a sweet, sweet sound, In your ear.

2. It is Well with My Soul

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,

When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, You taught me to say,

It is well, it is well, with my soul.

It is well, with my soul, Here's my heart, make it whole

For You I live, in You I dwell, Oh my soul, It is well.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control,

That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,

And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

It is well, with my soul, Here's my heart, make it whole.

For You I live, in You I dwell, Oh my soul, It is well.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!

My sin, not in part but the whole,

Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

It is well (it is well) it is well. With my soul (with my soul)

It is well, with my soul, Here's my heart, make it whole

For You I live, in You I dwell, Oh my soul, It is well.

RESPONSE TO THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD

Priest: Let us confess our faith as we say together, the Apostles Creed All: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived

by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He

suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.

He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He

ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the

communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of

the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

This is why I'm kneeling here beside you

This is what I want my church to be This is what I want the world to see - Who it is you follow.

Love each other - One another

Love each other - In the way that I have loved you

Walk together - And whatever comes

Love each other - In the way that I have loved you

Let the room be hushed and still

Let us go to where he kneels

And join him as he serves
