Welcome
Epiphany
Lord I lift Your name on high/Way Maker
Lord, I love to sing Your praises
I’m so glad You’re in my life
I’m so glad You came to save us
To show the way
From the earth to the cross
My debt to pay
From the cross to the grave
From the grave to the sky
Lord, I lift Your name on high
Lord, I love to sing Your praises
I’m so glad You’re in my life
I’m so glad You came to save us
To show the way
From the earth to the cross
My debt to pay
From the cross to the grave
From the grave to the sky
Lord, I lift Your name on high
To show the way
From the earth to the cross
My debt to pay
From the cross to the grave
From the grave to the sky
Lord, I lift Your name on high
Welcome from Martin
Lord God, our maker and redeemer,
this is your world and we are your people:
come among us and save us.
We have wilfully misused your gifts of creation;
Lord, be merciful and forgive us our sin.
We have seen the ill-treatment of others
and have not gone to their aid;
Lord, be merciful and forgive us our sin.
We have condoned evil and dishonesty
and failed to strive for justice;
Lord, be merciful and forgive us our sin.
We have heard the good news of Christ,
but have failed to share it with others;
Lord, be merciful and forgive us our sin.
We have not loved you with all our heart,
nor our neighbours as ourselves;
Lord, be merciful and forgive us our sin. Amen.
Bible reading: Matthew 2:12-15, 19-23
Sermon
Lord of all hopefulness
Prayers
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.
Draw me close to You
