THE COMMUNITY GATHERS BEFORE GOD
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, And the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
And also with you.
Let us pray:
We thank you, O God, that you have again brought us together to praise you for your goodness and to ask your blessing. Give us grace to see your hand in the week that is past, and your purpose in the week to come; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Christ is our light and our life.
O come, let us worship.
*Hymn: VU 509 I, the Lord of Sea and Sky
I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin
my hand will save.
I, who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.
I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have borne my people’s pain,
I have wept for love of them;
they turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone,
give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak my words to them.
Whom shall I send?
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.
I, the Lord of wind and flame,
I will tend the poor and lame,
I will set a feast for them;
my hand will save.
Finest bread I will provide
till their hearts be satisfied.
I will give my life to them.
Whom shall I send?
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.
Words and Music: Daniel L Schutte.
Collect
THE STORY OF FAITH IS PROCLAIMED
Hutłilala's! Listen deeply as scripture is read.
Hebrew Scripture 1 Samuel 3: 1-10
Psalm 139 VU 861
Refrain: God, you have searched me, you know me through and through.
O God, you have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.
You discern my path and the places I rest; you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue, you know it, O God, completely. You guard me from behind and before, and lay you hand upon me.
It is beyond my knowledge; it is a mystery; I cannot fathom it.
R: God, you have searched me, you know me through and through.
Where can I escape from your spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there; if I lie down in the grave, you are even there.
If I take wing with the dawn and alight at the sea’s farthest limits,
there also your hand will be guiding me your powerful hand holding me fast.
If I say, “Let the darkness cover me and my day be turned to night,”
even darkness is not dark to you: the might is as bright as the day, for darkness is as light to you.
R: God, you have searched me, you know me through and through.
It was you who formed my inward parts; you fashioned me my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully, wonderfully made. Wondrous are your works; that I know very well.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was being fashioned in secret, intricately woven in the mystery of clay.
Your eyes saw my substance taking shape; in your book my every day was recorded; all my days were fashioned, even before they came to be.
R: God, you have searched me, you know me through and through.
How deep you designs are to me, O God! How great their number!
I try to count them but they are more than the sand. I come to the end – I am still with you.
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my thoughts.
Watch closely, lest I follow a path of error
and guide me in the everlasting way.
R: God, you have searched me, you know me through and through.
Epistle: 2 Corinthians 4: 5-12
*Hymn: VU 567 Will You Come and Follow Me
Will you come and follow me if I but call your name?
Will you go where you don't know and never be the same?
Will you let my love be shown,
will you let my name be known,
will you let my life be grown
in you and you in me?
Will you leave yourself behind if I but call your name?
Will you care for cruel and kind and never be the same?
Will you risk the hostile stare
should your life attract or scare?
Will you let me answer prayer
in you and you in me?
Will you let the blinded see if I but call your name?
Will you set the prisoners free and never be the same?
Will you kiss the leper clean,
and do such as this unseen,
and admit to what I mean
in you and you in me?
Will you love the 'you' you hide if I but call your name?
Will you quell the fear inside and never be the same?
Will you use the faith you've found
to reshape the world around,
through my sight and touch and sound
in you and you in me?
Christ, your summons echoes true when you but call my name.
Let me turn and follow you and never be the same.
In your company I’ll go
where your love and footsteps show.
Thus I’ll move and live and grow
in you and you in me.
Words and arrangement The Iona Community
The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark.
Glory be to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ
Sermon/ Reflection
Intercessions/ Prayers
PWRDF/ Minute for Mission
Let us join in prayer with God’s faithful people throughout the world, saying:
“God of Love:
hear our prayer.”
The Peace
We are the body of Christ; in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body. Let us then pursue all that makes for peace and builds up our common life.
The Peace of Christ be always with you!
And also with you!
*Offertory Hymn: MV 161 I Have Called You by Your Name
I have called you by your name, you are mine;
I have gifted you and ask you now to shine.
I will not abandon you; all my promises are true.
You are gifted, called and chosen; you are mine.
I will help you learn my name as you go;
read it written in my people, help them grow.
Pour the water in my name, speak the word your soul can claim,
offer Jesus’ body given long ago.
I know you will need my touch as you go;
feel it pulsing in creation’s ebb and flow.
Like the woman reaching out, choosing faith in spite of doubt,
hold the hem of Jesus’ robe, then let it go.
I have given you a name, it is mine;
I have given you my Spirit as a sign.
With my wonder in your soul, make my wounded children whole;
go and tell my precious people they are mine.
Words and music: Daniel Charles Damon.
*Response: VU 542 We Give You But Your Own
We give you but your own,
what e’er the gift may be;
all that we have is yours alone,
We give it gratefully.
Prayer over the gifts
*The Lord’s Prayer
Gathering our prayers and praises into one, let us pray as our Saviour taught us,
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and for ever. Amen.
The Doxology, Blessing and Dismissal
Glory to God,
whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine. Glory to God from generation to generation, in the Church and in Christ Jesus, for ever and ever. Amen.
Blessing
*Hymn: VU 679 Let There Be Light
Let there be light,
let there be understanding,
let all the nations gather,
let them be face to face;
open our lips,
open our minds to ponder,
open the way to concord
opening into grace;
perish the sword,
perish the angry judgement,
perish the bombs and hunger,
perish the fight for gain;
hallow our love,
hallow the deaths of martyrs,
hallow their holy freedom,
hallowed be your name;
your kingdom come,
your spirit turn to language,
your people speak together,
your spirit never fade;
let there be light,
open our hearts to wonder,
perish the way of terror,
hallow the world God made.
Sending:
Let us bless the Lord. Alleluia!
Thanks be to God. Alleluia! Gilakas’la
