ORDER OF THE LITURGY
Opening Hymn: 383, Praise My Soul (Henry Francis)
1. Praise, my soul, the King of heaven; to his feet thy tribute bring;
ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
who like me his praise should sing?
Alleluia, alleluia! Praise the everlasting King.
2. Praise him for his grace and favour to our fathers in distress;
praise him still the same as ever,
slow to chide and swift to bless:
Alleluia, alleluia! Glorious in his faithfulness.
3. Father-like, he tends and spares us; well our feeble frame he knows;
in his hands he gently bears us,
rescues us from all our foes.
Alleluia, alleluia! Widely as his mercy flows.
4. Angels, help us to adore him; ye behold him face to face;
sun and moon, bow down before him,
dwellers all in time and space.
Alleluia, alleluia! Praise with us the God of grace.

THE SERMON: Rev. Monique Campbell
HYMN OF RESPONSE: CPWI 453, Make Me A Channel Of Your Peace (Sebastian
Temple)
1. Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred let me bring your love;
where there is injury, your pardon, Lord;
and where there's doubt, true faith in you.
2. Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there's despair in life let me bring hope;
where there is darkness, only light;
and where there's sadness, ever joy.
O Master grant that I may never seek
so much to-be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved, as to love with all my soul
3. Make me a channel of your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
in giving of ourselves that we receive;
and in dying that we're born to eternal life.
THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE (Margaret Tait)
Leader: Lord, we pray for all who are seeking to set standards, to raise morale, for all who
are seeking holiness and dedication, for all who are living heroic lives, for all striving to live
simply. May we be a listening church and a forgiving church. We pray for our church,
especially our Bishops Howard and Leon, Jackie, Diocesan Secretary, Mike, Chairman of the
Diocesan Financial Board, and Almerick, Senior Accountant. Give them wisdom and insight
in leading the church through these difficult seasons. Lord, in your mercy.
All: hear us and help us.
Leader: We pray for who have lost sight of spiritual values, all who are caught up in sheer
materialism, all who measure only by possessions or wealth. We pray for all who suffer from
hunger, poverty or bad housing. We pray for all who are caught up in debauchery and
licentiousness. Lord, in your mercy.
All: hear us and help us.
Leader: We pray that our homes may reflect your acceptance and love. Forgive our
quarrelling and our jealousy. Teach us tolerance and compassion. We give thanks for all who
have tolerated us, and given us their love. We pray that our community may be a caring and
friendly community. Lord, in your mercy.
All: hear us and help us.
Leader: We pray for all involved in drunkenness or vice, all who are alcoholics or addicts.
We pray for homes that suffer through the sin or weakness of a member of the family, for all
who are subjected to violence or abuse. We remember all who are tempted to give up hope.
We pray for our sick and shut-in members… Lord, in your mercy.
All: hear us and help us.

them in your everlasting glory. Lord, in your mercy.

your call. Open our hearts to your love that may proclaim that you are among us;

ALL: Most Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word,

you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves; we have not
loved ourselves as we ought. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of
your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us that we may delight in your
will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.

sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and keep you in life eternal; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.

others.
PRESIDENT: The peace of the Lord be always with you.
ALL: And also with you.

we shall find such harmony,
born of all we've known together
of Christ's love and agony.

Form E
PRESIDENT
Sovereign Lord and Father,
To you be glory and praise for ever.
In your boundless wisdom
you brought creation into being;
In your great love you fashioned
us in your image;
In your tender compassion
you sent your Son. Jesus Christ, our Saviour,
to share our human nature;
in the power of the Holy Spirit,
He overcame the power of sin and death
and brought your people to new birth
as first fruits of your new creation.
On the night that He was betrayed
He took bread,
and when He had given thanks to you.
He broke it and gave it to his disciples
and said: “Take this, and eat it:
This is my Body which is given For you.
Do this for the remembrance of me.”
And after supper
He took the cup of wine:
and when He had given thanks,
He gave it to them and said:
“Drink this, all of you:
This is my Blood of the New Covenant,
which is shed for you and for many
for the forgiveness of sins.
Whenever you drink it,
do this for the remembrance of me.”
PRESIDENT
Therefore. Father, according to the command of your dearly beloved Son
ALL
We remember His death
We proclaim His resurrection
We await His coming in glory

PRESIDENT
And we offer you. Father,
our sacrifice of thanks and praise.
Send your Holy Spirit on these gifts of
bread and wine that they may become
the Body and Blood of your Son,
Jesus, our Lord and Redeemer.
As we partake of this holy food of new
and unending life, may your Holy Spirit
establish us as a royal priesthood
with the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. N-
and all your sons and daughters who share
in your eternal inheritance;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
With Him and in Him and through Him,
by the power of the Holy Spirit,
we worship you, Father Almighty,
with all who stand before you
in earth and heaven,
in songs of everlasting praise:
ALL: Blessing and honour and glory and power
be yours for ever and ever. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
President: As our Saviour has taught us so we pray…
THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD:
PRESIDENT: We break this bread to share in the body of Christ.
ALL: Though we are many, we are one body, because we all share in one
bread.
THE AGNUS DEI

You take away the sin of the world

HYMNS DURING COMMUNION:
CPWI 616, O Thou Who At the Eucharist Didst Pray (W. H. Turton)
1. O THOU, Who at Thy Eucharist didst pray
That all Thy Church might be for ever one,
Grant us at every Eucharist to say
With longing heart and soul, “Thy will be done.”
Oh, may we all one Bread, one Body be,
Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.
2. For all Thy Church, O Lord, we intercede;
Make Thou our sad divisions soon to cease;
Draw us the nearer each to each, we plead,
By drawing all to Thee, O Prince of peace;
Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be,
Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.
3. We pray Thee too for wanderers from Thy Fold;
O bring them back, Good Shepherd of the sheep,
Back to the Faith which Saints believed of old,
Back to the Church which still that Faith doth keep;
Soon may we all one Bread, one Body be,
Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.
4. So, Lord, at length when Sacraments shall cease,
May we be one with all thy Church above,
One with Thy Saints in one unbroken peace,
One with Thy Saints in one unbounded love:
More blessèd still, in peace and love to be
One with the Trinity in Unity.
CPWI 597, I Come With Joy (Brian Wren )
1. I come with joy, a child of God,
forgiven, loved and free,
the life of Jesus to recall,
in love laid down for me.
2. I come with Christians far and near
to find, as all are fed,
the new community of love
in Christ's communion bread.
3. As Christ breaks bread, and bids us share,
each proud division ends.
10
The love that made us, makes us one,
and strangers now are friends.
4. The Spirit of the risen Christ,
unseen, but ever near,
is in such friendship better known,
alive among us here.
5. Together met, together bound
by all that God has done,
we'll go with joy, to give the world
the love that makes us one.
Blessed Be The Ties (John Faweet)
1. Blest be the tie that binds
our hearts in Christian love;
the fellowship of kindred minds
is like to that above.
2. Before our Father's throne
we pour our ardent prayers;
our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
our comforts and our cares.
3. We share our mutual woes,
our mutual burdens bear,
and often for each other flows
the sympathizing tear.
4. When we are called to part,
it gives us inward pain;
but we shall still be joined in heart,
and hope to meet again.
5. This glorious hope revives
our courage by the way;
while each in expectation lives
and waits to see the day.
6. From sorrow, toil, and pain,
and sin, we shall be free;
and perfect love and friendship reign
through all eternity.
POST COMMUNION PRAYER:
Almighty Father,
we thank you for feeding us
with the Body and Blood
11
of your Son Jesus Christ.
May we who share His Body
live His risen life;
we who drink His cup
bring life to others;
we upon whom your Spirit shines
give light to the world.
Help us to continue in faithful witness
to your Word,
so we and all your children shall be free,
and the whole earth live to praise your Name,
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Closing Hymn: We Are One In Spirit (Peter Scholtes)
1. We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord
And we pray that all unity may one day be restored
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
They will know we are Christians by our love
2. We will work with each other, we will work side by side
We will work with each other, we will work side by side
And we'll guard each one's dignity and save each one's pride
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
They will know we are Christians by our love
3. We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand
We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand
And together we'll spread the news that God is in our land
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
They will know we are Christians by our love.
