Welcome
Call to Worship: Psalm 29 with Genesis 1
Gathering Prayer
From the waters of Creation,
the earth sprang forth.
From the waters of a womb,
God’s Son was given to us.
From the waters of a river,
we are marked as God’s own children.
Gospel Reading: Mark 1:4-11
Prayers of Regret
Words of Assurance
God, be present in our lives.
Fill us with your light.
Be generous with your love.
Count us among your children.
Be compassionate toward our mistakes.
Let the Lord give strength to the people!
Let the Lord bless them with peace!
Reflection: Rev Jane Clarke
Song
Before the world began you were on His mind
And every tear you cry is precious in His eyes
Because of His great love He gave His only Son
Everything was done so you would come
Come to the Table though your gift is small
Broken hearts, broken lives he will take them all
The power of the Word, the power of His blood
Everything was done so you would come
Nothing you can do could make Him love you more
And nothing that you've done could make Him close the door
Because of His great love He gave His only Son
Everything was done so you would come

Prayers for our world
Lord’s Prayer
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and 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 forever. Amen.
Communion
A Eucharist of Creation

Closing Prayer
Go into the world as God's beloved children.
We will go to share the gift of grace which flow from God's heart.
Go into the world as baptised siblings of Jesus.
We will go to bring the light of hope to all who are in despair.
Go into the world as those filled with the Holy Spirit.
We will go to hear the whispered yearnings for peace and reconciliation.
The Grace
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
And the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit
Be always with us. Amen
