Magic Penny - by Malvina Reynolds Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away

Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more

It’s just like a magic penny, hold it tight and you won’t have any,

Lend it, spend it you’ll have so many, they roll right over the floor.

Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away,

Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.

Announcements

As God’s people we have gathered: Let us worship him together.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Your love makes me sing (repeat)

Your love is amazing, steady and unchanging Your love is a mountain, firm beneath my feet

Your love is a mystery, how You gently lift me When I am surrounded, Your love carries me

Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Your love makes me sing (repeat)

Your love is surprising, I can feel it rising All the joy that's growing deep inside of me

Every time I see You, all Your goodness shines through And I can feel this God song, rising up in me

Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Your love makes me sing (repeat)

Change my heart oh God, Make it ever true. Change my heart oh God, May I be like You.

Change my heart oh God, Make it ever true. Change my heart oh God, May I be like You.

You are the potter, I am the clay, Mold me and make me, This is what I pray.

Change my heart oh God, Make it ever true. Change my heart oh God, May I be like You.

You are the potter, I am the clay, Mold me and make me, This is what I pray.

Change my heart oh God, Make it ever true. Change my heart oh God, May I be like You

Father, forgive us: save us and help us.

The peace of the Lord be always with you. And also with you.

Sermon Rev. Howie Adan

Testimonial Cris Evenden “Someone’s talents helped me…”

This is my Story… Susan Dobson

This is my Song… “He paid a Debt He did not Owe”

He paid a debt he did not owe; I owed a debt I could not pay.

I needed someone to wash my sins away. And now I sing a brand new song:

Amazing grace, all day long. Christ Jesus paid a debt that I could never pay

Affirmation of Faith We believe and trust in him.

This is our faith. We believe and trust in one God. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen

An Act of Remembrance Last Post and Silence

The Prayers of the People Lord in Your mercy. Hear our prayer.

Eternal God, who caused all holy scriptures to be written for our learning,

grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them,

that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life,

which you have given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ,

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

As our Saviour taught us, let us pray,

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.

Bringing our Offerings

With gifts that differ by your grace your spirit fills us all,

that Christians in each time and place may answer when you call.

You strengthen some to take a stand, to prophesy or preach,

while others give with open hand, or heal the sick or teach.

And yet, because our faith is frail, we bury gifts you give,

Afraid to risk, afraid to fail, we are not free to live.

At times we use your sacred gifts for only selfish ends.

Our purpose fades, our focus shifts and conflict soon attends.

Come, Spirit, build your church anew, that all may do their part,

together finding life in you, diverse, yet one in heart.

So may your people seek your will, transformed in all your ways.

We offer body, mind and skill, a sacrifice of praise.

Let us bless the Lord: Thanks be to God.

Blessing, honour and glory be yours, here and everywhere, now and for ever. Amen.

Shine, Jesus, Shine (Black 114)

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. In the name of Christ. Amen.

Have a blessed week.
