I believe in Jesus Christ,
God’s only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.

30. On the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

35. OFFERTORY HYMN
My Heart Is Filled
With
Thankfulness

36. My heart is filled with thankfulness to him who bore my pain; who plumbed the depths of my disgrace and gave me life again; who crushed my curse of sinfulness and clothed me in his light and wrote his law of righteousness with power upon my heart.

37. My heart is filled with thankfulness to him who walks beside; who floods my weaknesses and strengths and causes fear to fly. Whose every promise is enough for every step I take. Sustaining me with arms of love and crowning me with grace.

38. My heart is filled with thankfulness to him who reigns above
My heart is filled with thankfulness to him who reigns above. Whose wisdom is my perfect peace. Whose every thought is love. For every day I have on earth is given by the King. So I will give my life my all to love and follow Him. Stuart Townend and Keith Getty 2002.

39. Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation. Through your
goodness we have
these gifts to share.
Accept and use our offerings for your Glory
And for the service of your kingdom.
Blessed be God
for ever.

40. THE GREAT THANKSGIVING
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give our thanks and praise.
All thanks and praise, glory and honour,
be yours at all times, in every place,
holy and loving Father, true and living God.
We praise you that through your eternal Word
you brought the universe into being
and made us in your own image.

41. You have given us this earth to care for and delight in, and with its bounty you preserve our life.
We thank you that you bound yourself to
the human race with the promises of a gracious covenant and called us to serve you in love and peace.
Above all, we give you thanks for your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ:
born as one of us, he lived our common life and offered his life to you in perfect obedience and trust.

42. By his death he delivered us from sin, brought us new life, and reconciled us to you and to one another.
Therefore with angels and archangels,
with apostles, and prophets,
with holy men and women of every age,
we proclaim your great and glorious name:
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.

43. Holy God,
we thank you for these gifts of your creation, this bread and wine,
and we pray that we who eat and drink them in obedience to our Saviour Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit,
may be partakers of his body and blood,
and be made one with him and with each other in peace and love.
On the night he was betrayed Jesus took bread; and when he had given you thanks he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying,
'Take, eat. This is my body given for you.
Do this in remembrance of me.'

44. After supper, he took the cup, and again giving you thanks
he gave it to his disciples, saying,
'Drink from this, all of you.
This is my blood of the new covenant
shed for you and for many
for the forgiveness of sins.
Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.‘
Christ has died.
Christ is risen.
Christ will come again.

45. Therefore we do as our Saviour has commanded:
proclaiming his offering of himself made once for all upon the cross, his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension,
and looking for his coming again,
we celebrate, with this bread and this cup, his one perfect and sufficient sacrifice
for the sins of the whole world.
As we eat and drink this holy sacrament,
renew us by your Spirit that we may be united in the body of your Son
and serve you as a royal priesthood
in the joy of your eternal kingdom.

46. Receive our praises, Father,
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
with whom and in whom,
by the power
of the Holy Spirit,
we worship you in songs
of never-ending praise:
Blessing and honour
and glory and power
are yours for ever
and ever. Amen.

47. We break this bread to share in the body of Christ
We break this bread to share in the body of Christ. We who are many are one body, for we all share in the one bread.

48. The gifts of God for the people of God
The gifts of God for the people of God. Come let us take this holy sacrament of the body and blood of Christ in remembrance that he died for us, and feed on him in our hearts by faith with thanksgiving.

49. HOLY COMMUNION All visitors are welcome to come forward to receive

50. COMMUNION HYMN
Beneath the cross of Jesus I find a place to stand, and wonder at such mercy that calls me as I am; for hands that should discard me hold wounds which tell me, "Come." Beneath the cross of Jesus my unworthy soul is won.

51. Beneath the cross of Jesus His family is my own— once strangers chasing
selfish dreams, now one through grace alone. How could I now dishonour the ones that You have loved? Beneath the cross of Jesus see the children called by God.

52. Beneath the cross of Jesus— the path before the crown— we follow in His footsteps where promised hope is found. How great the joy before us to be His perfect bride; beneath the cross of Jesus we will gladly live our lives.

with you for ever.
