¶ Entry of the flags & 
Opening Song

** Churchwardens will receive the flags and place them in the stand.

 

My Jesus, my Saviour,
Lord there is none like You
All of my days I want to praise,
The wonders of Your mighty love

My comfort, my shelter,
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am,
Never cease to worship You

Shout to the Lord all the Earth,
let us sing
Power and majesty,
praise to the King
Mountains bow down
and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name

I sing for joy at the work
of Your hands
Forever I'll love You,
forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise
I have In You

 

The Lord be with you.
And also with you.

​

¶ Sorry Prayer

Seek the Lord
while he may be found:
call upon him while he is near.

​

Let the wicked abandon their ways
and the unrighteous
their thoughts.

​

Turn back to the Lord,
who will have mercy;
to our God
who will richly pardon.

​

May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins and bring us to everlasting life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen

​

¶ Opening Prayer (the Collect)

​

Holy Spirit, sent by the Father,
ignite in us your holy fire;
strengthen your children with the gift of faith,
revive your Church with the breath of love,
and renew the face of the earth,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

 

 

¶ Bible Reading (Acts2:1-7)

A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.

Glory to you, O Lord.

​

When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 

2 Suddenly a noise came from heaven. It sounded like a strong wind blowing. This noise filled the whole house where they were sitting. 

3 They saw something that looked like flames of fire. The flames were separated and stood over each person there. 

4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak different languages. The Holy Spirit was giving them the power to do this.

5 There were some godly Jews in Jerusalem at this time. They were from every country in the world.

 6 A large crowd came together because they heard the noise. They were surprised because, as the apostles were speaking, everyone heard in their own language.

7 They were all amazed at this. They did not understand how the apostles could do this.

 

This is the word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

​​​​​​

As the deer pants for the water,
so my soul longs after you
You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship you.

You alone are my strength, my shield to you alone may my spirit yield you alone are my heart’s desire and I long to worship you.

 

I want you more than gold
or silver, only you can satisfy
You alone are the real joy giver, and the apple of my eye.
You alone are my strength, my shield to you alone may my spirit yield you alone are my heart’s desire and I long to worship you.

 

You’re my friend
and you are my brother,
even though you are a king

I love you more than any other,
so much more than anything.

You alone are my strength,
my shield
to you alone may my spirit yield
you alone are my heart’s desire
and I long to worship you.

​​

¶ The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father,
who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive
those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

​​

¶ Giving of Communion

Jesus is the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
Blessed are those who are called to his supper.

Lord, I am not worthy
to receive you,
but only say the word,
and I shall be healed.

​​​

¶ Communion Songs

You are my strength
when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek; You are my all in all
I'm seeking You
like a precious jewel
Lord, to give up I'd be a fool
You are my all in all
  Jesus, Lamb of God,
Holy is Your name   (x2)
      
Taking my cross my sin my shame
Raising again I praise Your name; You are my all in all
When I fall down You pick me up
When I run dry You fill my cup
You are my all in all
  Jesus, Lamb of God,
Holy is Your name   (x2)

You are my strength
when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek; You are my all in all
When I fall down You pick me up
When I run dry You fill my cup
You are my all in all
  Jesus, Lamb of God,
  Holy is Your name   (x2)

 

***

In Christ alone, my hope is found
He is my light, my strength,
my song
This Cornerstone,
this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love,
what depths of peace
When fears are stilled,
when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All;
Here in the love of Christ I stand

 

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love
and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came
to save
'Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid; Here in the death of Christ I live

 

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world
by darkness slain
Then bursting forth
in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine; Bought with the precious blood
of Christ

​

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell,
no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home; Here in the power of Christ
I'll stand

​​​

¶ Prayer after Communion

God of power, whose Holy Spirit renews your people in the Communion we bless and share:
may the boldness of the Spirit transform us, the gentleness of the Spirit lead us, and the gifts of the Spirit equip us;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

​

¶ General Notices

​

¶ Closing song

O Lord my God,
when I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds
thy hands have made;
I see the stars,
I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout
the universe displayed:

​

Then sings my soul,
my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art!
How great thou art!
Then sings my soul,
my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art!
How great thou art!

​

When through the woods
and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds
sing sweetly in the trees,
When I look down
from lofty mountain grandeur,
And hear the brook
and feel the gentle breeze:

​

Then sings my soul,
my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art!
How great thou art!
Then sings my soul,
my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art!
How great thou art!

​

And when I think
how God, his Son not sparing,
Sent him to die,
I scarce can take it in;
That on the cross,
my burdens gladly bearing,
He bled and died
to take away my sin:

​

Then sings my soul,
my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art!
How great thou art!
Then sings my soul,
my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art! ​
How great thou art!

​

When Christ shall come
with shouts of acclamation,
To take me home,
what joy will fill my heart!
Then I will bow
in humble adoration,
And there proclaim,
my God, how great thou art!

​

Then sings my soul,
my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art!
How great thou art!
Then sings my soul,
my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art! ​
How great thou art!

​

¶ National Anthem

God save our gracious King!
Long live our noble King!
God save the King!
Send him victorious,
happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the King.

​

¶ Final Blessing and Dismissal

The Lord be with you.
And also with you.

​

The Spirit of truth
lead you into all truth,
give you grace to confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
and strengthen you
to proclaim the word
and works of God;
and the blessing of God almighty,
the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit,
be among you
and remain with you always.

Amen.

 

Go in the peace of Christ.
Thanks be to God.
