Mark 1: 14 – 15 The Church of the Province of Central Africa Bolingbroke Team Ministry Sunday before Lent 5 People of God, let us raise our expectations of what it means to encounter God in this place. Let us be open to God revealing something of his divine nature to us, and changing the way we see the world. Almighty God, we ask you to show us something more of who you are and how awesome your presence is. Overcome our fear of the unknown and lead us into a new experience of you. May our worship today be as on a mountain-top, a transforming encounter that empowers our discipleship. Amen. Hymn Christ, whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true, the only light, Sun of righteousness, arise, triumph o'er the shades of night; Dayspring from on high, be near; Daystar, in my heart appear. Dark and cheerless is the morn unaccompanied by thee: joyless is the day's return, till thy mercy's beams I see, till they inward light impart, cheer my eyes, and warm my heart. Visit then this soul of mine; pierce the gloom of sin and grief; fill me, radiancy divine; scatter all my unbelief; more and more thyself display, shining to the perfect day. (Words: Charles Wesley) Prayers of Penitence Human sin disfigures the whole creation, which groans with eager longing for God’s redemption. We confess our sin in penitence and faith. God our Father, long-suffering, full of grace and truth, you create us from nothing and give us life. You give your faithful people new life in the water of baptism. You do not turn your face from us, nor cast us aside. We confess that we have sinned against you and our neighbour. We have wounded your love and marred your image in us. Restore us for the sake of your Son, and bring us to heavenly joy, in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Absolution Almighty God, who in Jesus Christ has given us a kingdom that cannot be destroyed, forgive us our sins, open our eyes to God’s truth, strengthen us to do God’s will and give us the joy of his kingdom, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 6 The Collect of the Day Holy God, you know the disorder of our sinful lives: set straight our crooked hearts, and bend our wills to love your goodness and your glory in Jesus Christ our Lord.
