 Opening Responses

The world belongs to God

The earth and all its people
How good it is, how wonderful
To live together in unity
Love and faith come together
Justice and peace join hands
If Christ's disciples keep silent 
These stones would shout aloud
Open our lips, O God
And our mouths shall proclaim your praise

Happy is the one

protest and praise.

Happy is the one
who does not take bad advice for a guide,
or walks the path on which sinners have trod,
or sits where the cynics mock.

Happy is the one

who takes delight in the law of the Lord,
and meditates on it both day and night,
and prospers in every way.

Such a one as this

is like a tree by the nourishing streams,
which yields its fruit when the season is right
and bears leaves that never fade.
 Call to Prayer

Move among us, God; give us life

Let your people rejoice in you
Give us again the joy of your help
With your spirit of freedom sustain us
God, make our hearts clean
Restore us in body, mind and spirit

Let us pray.

Core CTP1 6
 Prayer of Confession
Trusting in God’s forgiveness,
Let us in silence confess our failings
And acknowledge our part in the pain of the world

Silence

Before God,
With the people of God,
I confess to turning away from God
In the ways I wound my life, the lives of others
And the life of the world
May God forgive you, Christ renew you, and the
Spirit enable you to grow in love
Amen

 The Lord’s Prayer
So now, as Jesus taught us, we say
Please feel free to use whatever
All Our Father in heaven form of words you usually use
Hallowed be your name
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread;
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us in the time of trial
And deliver us from evil;
For the kingdom, the power
And the glory are yours,
Now and forever.
Amen
Core LP1 9
 Response of faith
With the whole church
We affirm that we are made in God’s image
Befriended by Christ, empowered by the Spirit

With people everywhere

We affirm God’s goodness at the heart of humanity
Planted more deeply than all that is wrong

With all creation

We celebrate the miracle and wonder of life
The unfolding purposes of God
For ever at work in ourselves and the world
Core ROF1 10
 Psalm 34
God hears those who cry for help, and saves
Leader: I will bless my Maker at all times,
them from all their troubles
whose praise is forever on my lips
The angel of God keeps watch over those who
All: My soul will glorify God; let the humble
revere their Maker
hear and rejoice
Taste and see: God is good, a shelter to saints
Together let us praise God’s greatness;
and seekers
together let us honour God’s holy name
Hold God in awe, you holy people; thus you
I looked for God who answered me, bringing
will find fulfilment
freedom from all my fears
Even if princes grow poor and hungry, God’s
Those who look to God become radiant, their
children shall want for nothing
faces show no shame

 Daily Prayers (Tuesday)
O Christ, the Master Carpenter
you at the last, through wood and nails,
crafted our whole salvation.
Wield well your tools
in the workshop of your world,
so that we who come rough-hewn to your bench
may here be fashioned
to a truer beauty of your hand.
Amen

 Closing responses
This is the day that God has made
We will rejoice and be glad in it
We will not offer to God
Offerings that cost us nothing
Go in peace to love and to serve
We will seek peace and pursue it
In the name of the Trinity of Love
God in community, holy and one

Core CR1 19
 In Iona of my heart, Iona of my love
Instead of the voice of monks shall be the lowing of cattle
But ere the world comes to an end
Iona shall be as it was
