Floreano Riverside Convention Center Creator of the stars God of epiphanies You are the Great Star You have marked my path with light You have filled my sky with stars naming each star guiding it until it shines upon my heart awakening me to deeper seeing new revelations and brighter epiphanies. O infinite Star Giver I now ask for wisdom and courage to follow these stars for their names are many and my heart is fearful. They shine on me wherever I go: The star of hope The star of mercy and compassion The star of justice and peace The star of tenderness and love The star of suffering The star of joy. And every time I feel the shine I am called to follow it to sing it to live it all the way to the Cross and beyond. O Creator of the stars You have become within me An unending Epiphany.

Live a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, making every effort to maintain the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. Let us pursue justice and peace, for mutual upbuilding. The Lord be with you. And also with you. Let us pray. O God, you open the hearts of your faithful people by sending into us your Holy Spirit. Di- rect us by the light of that spirit, that we may have a right judgement in all things and rejoice at all times in your peace, through Jesus Christ, your Son and our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever, Amen.

The Lord will watch over Your going out and your coming in, From this time forth and forevermore. 15 Refrain “Nothing Can Trouble” All voices in unison PRAYER Silence for reflection Gathering our many prayers into one, we pray: Holy God, we walk in night’s deep darkness Longing to hear your voice and follow your light. Receive our prayers as you have promised: Give courage to the faint and strength to the powerless; Lift up those who fall, renew the weak and weary.

    “Daily Confession of Faith” In Christ I am anointed and a powerful person of God. I am a joint-heir with Jesus and more than a conqueror. I am a doer of the Word of God and a channel for His blessings. If God be for me, who can be against me? I am blessed coming in and I am blessed Going out. My enemies are fleeing before me. God has commanded His blessing on my storehouses. He has opened His Good treasures and I shall lend and not borrow. I am the head and not the tail. He has given me power to make wealth. I dwell in the secret place I have His protection and provision. God is my refuge, my fortress I am not afraid of the snare of the fowler. No Evil shall befall me and no plague shall come nigh My dwelling. God has given his angels Charge over me and they are bearing me up in their hands lest I dash my foot against a stone, as declared in Psalms 91. I Peter 2:9 establishes I am a chosen generation, A royal priesthood, a holy nation. I am a peculiar person called out of darkness Into His marvelous light. I Peter 2:24 states, I have been healed by the stripes of Jesus. Cancer, sugar diabetes, heart disease, sickness, Afflictions, infections, or any other disease can not enter my body. I am without spot or blemish, An intercessor, the righteousness of God, saved, and washed in the Blood of Jesus. “No weapon formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue Which rises against me in judgment You shall condemn.

  • Sunflowers & Thistles
    Sunflowers & Thistles Praise songs and protests by John Campbell Acknowledgements I was due to retire from full-time ministry with the United Reformed Church (URC) just as the Covid-19 pandemic began. But it truly felt like the wrong time to leave. Instead, I have been blessed with permission to remain in ministry through it all. So, I have stayed in active fellowship with High Cross United Reformed Church in Tottenham; Rectory Road and Manor Road United Reformed Churches in Stoke Newington; Clapton Park United Reformed Church in Hackney and Islington; and the South Lea Valley Local Area of the URC. I was also surrounded by valued ecumenical colleagues in Tottenham through Christians Together in Tottenham, and in touch with a wide circle of treasured colleagues and friends across Thames North Synod and beyond, including Jamaica and Ghana. Thanks to you all for sharing the journey. It is your fellowship that inspires me to write fresh songs to well-known tunes that might, just might, help to keep you singing as we all negotiate our way through these strange times. Prayers and blessings, John Campbell Song 37: O God who longs to make us whole A hymn celebrating the founding and work of the NHS. Written in 1998 for a special service in Leicester Cathedral, celebrating the NHS 50th anniversary.

In the minutes prior to the beginning of each service, the doors to the nave are closed, and quiet is encouraged. Music is offered which prepares worshipers to receive God’s gifts from His Hand – the forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation. Everyone is asked to sign the Attendance Record found at the end of each pew or row of chairs. Please sign this record and pass it down to those beside you during the announcements. As it is returned, please note who is worshipping with you. The Attendance Record helps worshipers to put names and faces together. We make new friends in this way and grow in care for each other.

They’re more than just words. They’re promises that hopefully both parties stick to throughout the marriage. A heartfelt exchange of vows has a lasting impact on the lives of each couple. I created this eBook to help couples craft their wedding vows and to take the stress out of having to reinvent the wheel when it comes to writing vows. Most couples read over the assortment of choices below and choose a complete vow as it is written or copy and paste sentences they like together to create their own unique vows. WRITING YOUR OWN VOWS I don’t encourage writing your own vows unless you really have a deep desire to do so.

  • Daily Prayer for All Seasons
    Daily Prayer for All Seasons - - - - - - - - - - These prayers have been developed under the mandate of General Convention for the SCLM and are available for trial use at this time. 1 Introduction ―Let us pray.‖ Those words can be so embracing, so soothing. But there are times when they simply remind us that we don‘t have time to pray -- not the way we long to. We want to pray without ceasing, but we also want to repair that engine and train the puppy and plow the south 40 before sunset. Still, the call to prayer is strong. The call to pray throughout the day has sounded for centuries as a way to deepen our faith. Daily Prayer for All Seasons provides a holy – and wholly realistic -- way to order our days, no matter how full they seem. Daily Prayer for All Seasons was compiled and written by a diverse team of people from all over the United States. We came together periodically over four years to create a set of prayers that acknowledge in their brevity both the need to pray and the short time we have to pray. The Daily Prayer for All Seasons team comprised people like you: we have jobs and families, groceries and gardens and ironing; subways to catch, doctors to see, and reports to write. We put these demands on the table. We never lost sight of those pressures on our time and energy as we plowed through wonderful resources for meditation and song, assembling the richest ones into a prayer book for all of us, clergy and laity, who think we‘re too busy to pray.

  • Marking Our Communities 3 When We Meet Again: Remembering and Memorials
    Marking our Communities 3 When we meet again: remembering and memorials Issue Date Version Issued by 3rd June 2020 1 The Liturgical Commission 3.1 During the pandemic and lockdown, many people were unable to plan and attend funerals, as they would have wanted to. Although each death will have been marked with care and compassion, with thanksgiving and hope, many feel that the story of a person’s life has not been adequately told. Some may feel that they have been unable to say a proper goodbye, and need to draw strength and hope from being together with others impacted by a death. 3.2 When Government restrictions ease and we are able to meet together again for public worship, there will be a need to create opportunities for thanksgiving and remembering in different ways. The liturgical resources that follow have been assembled with the help of the Life Events Team to help ministers and others plan for these occasions. The resources should be used together with ‘Prayers of Lament, Thanksgiving and Restoration’, which are published separately. 3.3 A funeral is an occasion of huge significance. Life changes forever with the death of a loved one. As time goes on, the experience of grief continues. Those who plan additional bereavement liturgies will need to consider where each service fits in the journey of bereavement so that any later memorial service does not seek to repeat the funeral, but to help family and friends move on. 3.4 As the nation emerges from the lockdown, there will be many individuals and organisations who will wish to organise commemorative events.
