We come to God as one from whom no secrets are hidden,
to ask for his forgiveness and peace.
Prayers of Penitence

Lord, have mercy.
Healer of the sick, you give strength in our weakness
Christ, have mercy.
Destroyer of evil, you bring life in our dying
Lord, have mercy.
The president says
May the God who is both power and love forgive you and free you from your sin; give you healing and strength, and raise you to new life in Christ.
All Amen.
The Collect
God of the borderlands, you travel between the foreign and the familiar: open our world to those we would exclude and despise; heal and liberate us when we are outcaste that we might learn to praise your name with hearts that are whole; through Jesus Christ, the Rejected One.

The Liturgy of the Word
Readings
First reading is from the Book of Jeremiah 29.1,4-7
This is the word of the Lord.
All Thanks be to God.
Psalm 66
1 Be joyful in God, all the earth; ♦
sing the glory of his name; sing the glory of his praise.
2 Say to God, ‘How awesome are your deeds! ♦
Because of your great strength your enemies shall bow before you.
3 ‘All the earth shall worship you, ♦
sing to you, sing praise to your name.’
4 Come now and behold the works of God, ♦
how wonderful he is in his dealings with humankind.
5 He turned the sea into dry land; the river they passed through on foot; ♦
there we rejoiced in him.
6 In his might he rules for ever; his eyes keep watch over the nations; ♦
let no rebel rise up against him.
7 Bless our God, O you peoples; ♦
make the voice of his praise to be heard,
8 Who holds our souls in life ♦
and suffers not our feet to slip.
9 For you, O God, have proved us; ♦
you have tried us as silver is tried.
10 You brought us into the snare; ♦
you laid heavy burdens upon our backs.
11 You let enemies ride over our heads; we went through fire and water; ♦
but you brought us out into a place of liberty.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be. Amen.
Second reading is from the Second Letter to Timothy 2.8-15
This is the word of the Lord.
All Thanks be to God.
Gospel Reading

Prayers of Intercession
The Liturgy of the Sacrament
The Peace
Here is food that satisfies the taste of communion. Here is wine pouring free, the washing away of fear. Here is life abundant, a table of peace for all. May this peace be in us and among us, a sign of hope for a world renewed. The peace of the Lord be always with you.
All and also with you.
Offertory Hymn 469
Preparation of the Table
Yours O God is the greatness, the power, the glory, the splendour and the majesty .Everything in heaven and earth is yours.
All things come from you, and of your own do we give you.
All Amen.
The Eucharistic Prayer
The Lord is here
All His Spirit is with us.
Lift up your hearts.
All We lift them to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
All It is right to give thanks and praise.
Trusting and abiding God, we lift our hearts to thank and praise you, because even when we are faithless toward you, you are always faithful toward us. In creation you made myriad wonders for us to enjoy; yet in our sin we saw scarcity rather than abundance.
In Israel you made a people for your own heart; but your people longed to be like other nations. In exile you taught your prophets and priests to seek the welfare of the city where you had sent them.
There in a foreign land you made yourself known to your people in a new way, so that when your Son Jesus Christ was crucified for our salvation his disciples saw in his servanthood the pattern of your suffering love. And so with all the company of heaven we rejoice in the eternal song.
All (Hymn 418) 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. Hosanna in the highest.
Restoring God, as in Christ you made a new community out of exiles , so today you gather to your table the leper, the outcast and the wounded. Send your Holy Spirit upon your church, that it may be a community of reconciliation and truth. Sanctify these gifts of bread and wine that they may be for us the body and blood of your Son Jesus Christ.
Who, at supper with his disciples, took bread, gave you thanks, broke the bread, and gave it to them, saying: Take and eat; this is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.
After supper he took a cup of wine. Again gave you thanks, and gave it to his disciples, 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.
Great is the mystery of faith:
All Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.
God of healing and grace, bless those who are in exile and see no way to reach home. Be close to all who have no house to live in, no garden to plant, no food to eat, no respite from sickness, prejudice, oppression or danger. By the power of your Holy Spirit, abide with those those time is short, that they may know that if they die with Christ, they will also live with him; that if they endure, they will also reign with him; until that day when he returns in glory with judgement enfolded in mercy and truth embraced by grace, ever one God, Trinity of holiness and love.
All Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer
Lord Jesus, remember us in your kingdom and teach us to pray.
All 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.
Breaking of the Bread
The president breaks the consecrated bread.
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.
Agnus Dei ( Hymn 419)
Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world, grant us your peace.
Giving of Communion
The gifts of God for the people of God.
Come and share God’s heavenly food.
The president and people receive communion.
Prayer after Communion
Lord, we pray that your grace may always precede and follow us,
and make us continually to be given to all good works;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
All Amen
The Dismissal
The peace of God, which passes all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord; and the blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among you and remain with you always.
All Amen

| Jesus called us all to be his disciples and contribute to sharing the gospel. There are many ways we contribute in sharing but every way will greatly help others in God’s family. A financial contribution to church and its activities is one way to share of yourself and strengthen the gospel. |
