 Opening Responses

The world belongs to God

The earth and all its people
How good it is, how wonderful
To live together in unity
Love and faith come together
Justice and peace join hands
If Christ's disciples keep silent 
These stones would shout aloud
Open our lips, O God
And our mouths shall proclaim your praise

Glory to God, glory to God,
Glory in the highest!
To God be glory forever!
Alleluia! Amen!

 Call to Prayer

Move among us, God; give us life

Let your people rejoice in you
Give us again the joy of your help
With your spirit of freedom sustain us
God, make our hearts clean
Restore us in body, mind and spirit

Let us pray.

Core CTP1 5
 Prayer of Confession
Trusting in God’s forgiveness,
Let us in silence confess our failings
And acknowledge our part in the pain of the world

Silence

Before God,
With the people of God,
I confess to turning away from God
In the ways I wound my life, the lives of others
And the life of the world
May God forgive you, Christ renew you, and the
Spirit enable you to grow in love
Amen

 The Lord’s Prayer
So now, as Jesus taught us, we say
Please feel free to use whatever
All Our Father in heaven form of words you usually use
Hallowed be your name
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread;
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us in the time of trial
And deliver us from evil;
For the kingdom, the power
And the glory are yours,
Now and forever.
Amen
Core LP1 8
 Response of faith
With the whole church
We affirm that we are made in God’s image
Befriended by Christ, empowered by the Spirit

With people everywhere

We affirm God’s goodness at the heart of humanity
Planted more deeply than all that is wrong

With all creation

We celebrate the miracle and wonder of life
The unfolding purposes of God
For ever at work in ourselves and the world
Core ROF1 9
 Psalm 31
Set me free from the net spread to catch me,
All: You, O God, are my refuge. for you are my protector.
Let me never be put to shame. Into your hands I commit my spirit.

Bend down your ear and hear me, Turn your face towards me,
come quickly to my rescue; be just, protect with unfailing love defend me,
me from danger do not reject me when I call your name

Be a place of safety for me, Your goodness knows no limits;

a rock where I find shelter; It is kept for all who revere you
lead and guide me for your own name’s sake and turn to you in their need

All: You, O God, are my refuge. All: You, O God, are our refuge.
Let me never be put to shame. Let us never be put to shame.
 The bible reading

Inspired by love &
anger

From the collection, Love & Anger.

Inspired by love and anger, disturbed by need and pain,
informed of God’s own bias, we ask him once again:
“How long must some folk suffer? How long can few folk mind?
How long dare vain self-interest turn prayer and pity blind?”

From those forever victims of heartless human greed,

their cruel plight composes a litany of need:
“Where are the fruits of justice? Where are the signs of peace?
When is the day when prisoners and dreams find their release?”

God asks, “Who will go for me? Who will extend my reach?
And who, when few will listen, will prophecy and preach?
And who when few bid welcome, will offer all they know?
And who, when few dare follow, will walk the road I show?”

Amused in someone’s kitchen, asleep in someone’s boat,

attuned to what the ancients exposed, proclaimed and wrote,
a saviour without safety, a tradesman without tools
has come to tip the balance with fishermen and fools.

 Daily Prayers (Monday)
God, in whose heart is love and justice
Show us this day whom we must love
And what we should challenge or change
In order that your will for the earth might be done
All Increase our hope, dispel our apathy;
Inspire our imagination, and deepen our commitment
Until we become the signs of your kingdom
For which we and others pray.
Amen 18
Core DP1
 Closing responses
This is the day that God has made
We will rejoice and be glad in it
We will not offer to God
Offerings that cost us nothing
Go in peace to love and to serve
We will seek peace and pursue it
In the name of the Trinity of Love
God in community, holy and one

Core CR1 19
 In Iona of my heart, Iona of my love
Instead of the voice of monks shall be the lowing of cattle
But ere the world comes to an end
Iona shall be as it was
