¯ Entrance hymn
We remember where God has acted in our lives
Let us remember how God has blessed us. In silence let us remember those good and rich moments in our lives this week.
We bring our regrets from this week to God
As we come together let us also think of those
times this week when we have got it wrong; those moments of regret where we have not lived as we know we could have.
Seeking God’s Forgiveness
Jesus Christ, risen Master and triumphant Lord,
we come to you in sorrow for our sins,
and confess to you our weakness and unbelief.
We have lived by our own strength,
and not by the power of your resurrection.
In your mercy, forgive us.
All: Lord, hear us and help us.
We have lived by the light of our own eyes,
faithless and not believing.
In your mercy, forgive us.
All: Lord, hear us and help us.
We have lived for this world alone,
and doubted our home in heaven.
In your mercy, forgive us.
All: Lord, hear us and help us.
Almighty God,
who forgives all who truly repent,
have mercy upon you,
pardon and deliver you from all your sins,
confirm and strengthen you in all goodness,
and keep you in life eternal;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
All: Amen.

The Sermon
Please sit
The Nicene Creed
Please stand
All: We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God, begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again in accordance
with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen

And at the end
All: Merciful Father, accept these prayers
for the sake of your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen

Yours Lord is the greatness, the power, the glory, the splendour and the majesty; for everything in Heaven and Earth are yours.

The Priest prays a seasonal prayer , ending with:
for ever praising you and singing:
Holy Holy Holy Lord God of power and might heaven and earth are full of your glory hosanna in the highest
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord hosanna in the highest
Lord, you are holy indeed, the source of all holiness;
grant that by the power of your Holy Spirit, and
according to your holy will, these gifts of bread and wine may be to us the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ; who, in the same night that he was
betrayed, took bread and gave you thanks; he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying: Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you; do this in
remembrance of me.
In the same way, after supper he took the cup and gave you thanks; he gave it to them, saying:
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. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.
Let us Proclaim the Mystery of Faith
All: Christ has died
Christ is risen
Christ will come again
And so, Father, calling to mind his death on the cross, his perfect sacrifice made once for the sins of the whole world; rejoicing in his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension, and looking for his coming in glory, we celebrate this memorial of our
redemption. As we offer you this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, we bring before you this bread and this cup and we thank you for counting us worthy to stand in your presence and serve you.
Send the Holy Spirit on your people
and gather into one in your kingdom
all who share this one bread and one cup,
so that we, in the company of [N and] all the saints,
may praise and glorify you for ever,
through Jesus Christ our Lord;
by whom, and with whom, and in whom,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all honour and glory be yours, almighty Father,
for ever and ever.
All: Amen.
As our Saviour taught us, so we pray:
All: 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.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.
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.
Jesus, risen Lord, triumphant King
Jesus, true redeemer of the world
All: Hear our prayer, have mercy
Hear our prayer, have mercy
Give us your peace.
Jesus, Morning Star which never sets
Jesus, Paschal Lamb and sacrifice
All: Hear our prayer, have mercy
Hear our prayer, have mercy
Give us your peace.
