Welcome to Sunday Morning prayer.

We proclaim the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ:

GOD in his infinite mercy, forgives all sins, and through our baptism in the name of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, we are given a rebirth into new life, free from the burden of all sin. ALLELUIA

With faithfulness we respond to the good news:

We acknowledge Christ as our saviour and accept with gratitude, that we are forgiven for all wrong doings, past and present. To honour the gift of forgiveness, we release our burden of guilt and rise up to live in the glory of God forever more.

Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, 

Blessed be God forever.

Let us Pray.

 

1

This is the day that the Lord has made.

We will rejoice and be glad in it. 

Psalm 118.24

Glory to God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit: 

as in the beginning, so now, and for ever. Amen.

 

3 The opening Canticle

Oh come let us sing out to the Lord.

let us shout in triumph to the rock of our salvation.

Let us come before his face with thanksgiving.

And cry out to him joyfully in psalms.

For the Lord is a great God.

and a great king above all gods.

In his hands are the depths of the earth.

and the peaks of the mountains are his also.

The sea is his and he made it.

His hands moulded dryland.

Come let us worship and bow down.

And kneel before the Lord our maker.

For he is the Lord our god.

We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.

Today if only you would hear his voice:

“Do not harden your hearts as Israel did in the wilderness.”

“When your forebears tested me.”

“Put me to proof though they had seen my works.”

“Forty years long I loathe that generation and said.”

“It is a people who err in their hearts.”

“For they do not know my ways.”

“Of whom I swore in my wrath.”

“They shall not enter my rest.”  

  

3 The Opening Prayer

 

The night has passed and the day lies open before us; 

let us pray with one heart and mind. 

  

 

Silence may be kept.

 

As we rejoice in the gift of this new day, 

so may the light of your presence, O God,  set our hearts on fire with love for you;  now and for ever. 

Amen.

 

 

4 The Psalms as appointed. A pause is observed after each.

Psalm 2

1 Why are the nations in tumult:

and why do the peoples cherish a vain dream?

2 The kings of the earth rise up

and the rulers conspire together:

against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,

3 ‘Let us break their bonds asunder:
