The Liturgy of the Word
Readings
First reading is from the Book of Jeremiah 4.11-12,22-28
This is the word of the Lord.
All Thanks be to God.
Psalm 14
1 The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ ♦
Corrupt are they, and abominable in their wickedness;
there is no one that does good.
2 The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the children of earth, ♦
to see if there is anyone who is wise and seeks after God.
3 But every one has turned back; all alike have become corrupt: ♦
there is none that does good; no, not one.
4 Have they no knowledge, those evildoers, ♦
who eat up my people as if they ate bread
and do not call upon the Lord?
5 There shall they be in great fear; ♦
for God is in the company of the righteous.
6 Though they would confound the counsel of the poor, ♦
yet the Lord shall be their refuge.
7 O that Israel’s salvation would come out of Zion! ♦
When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people,
then will Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
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 First Letter to Timothy 1.12-17, 15-16
This is the word of the Lord.
All Thanks be to God.

The Lord is here
All His Spirit is with us.
Lift up your hearts.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
All It is right to give thanks and praise.
Almighty God, good Father to us all, your face is turned towards your world. In love you gave us Jesus your Son to rescue us from sin and death. Your Word goes out to call us home to the city where angels sing your praise. We join with them in heaven’s 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.
Father of all, we give you thanks for every gift that comes from heaven. To the darkness Jesus came as your light. With signs of faith and words of hope he touched untouchables with love and washed the guilty clean. This is his story.
All This is our song: Hosanna in the highest.
The crowds came out to see your Son, yet at the end they turned on him. On the night he was betrayed he came to table with his friends
to celebrate the freedom of your people. This is his story.
All This is our song: Hosanna in the highest.
Jesus blessed you, Father, for the food; he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and said: This is my body, given for you all.
Jesus then gave thanks for the wine; he took the cup, gave it and said: This is my blood, shed for you all for the forgiveness of sins.
Do this in remembrance of me. This is our story.
All This is our song: Hosanna in the highest.
Therefore, Father, with this bread and this cup we celebrate the cross
on which he died to set us free. Defying death he rose again
and is alive with you to plead for us and all the world.
This is our story.
All This is our song: Hosanna in the highest.
Send your Spirit on us now that by these gifts we may feed on Christ
with opened eyes and hearts on fire.
May we and all who share this food offer ourselves to live for you and be welcomed at your feast in heaven where all creation worships you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit:
All Blessing and honour and glory and power be yours for ever and ever. 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 peace.

The gifts of God for the people of God.
Come and share God’s heavenly food.

Prayer after Communion
God of life and love, we thank you for feeding us with the bread of heaven. Hear our prayer for all your hurting world, that we may grow together in unity and go out with joy, as witnesses to your generosity and love. Amen.
The Dismissal
May the outrageous welcome of the Father accept us for who we are; May the incarnation of the Word touch and hold us close;
May the wandering of the Spirit help us risk ourselves for love;
And the blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among you and remain with you always.
All Amen
