Hymn: TiS 158
1. God has spoken by his prophets,
spoken his unchanging word,
each, from age to age proclaiming
God, the one, the righteous Lord.
In the world’s despair and turmoil
one firm anchor holds us fast:
God is king, his throne eternal,
God the first, and God the last.
2. God has spoken by Christ Jesus,
Christ, the everlasting Son,
brightness of the Father’s glory,
with the Father ever one;
spoken by the Word incarnate,
God from God, ere time began,
Light from Light, to earth descending,
God, revealed as Son of Man.
3. God is speaking by his Spirit,
speaking to our hearts again,
in the age-long word expounding
God’s own message, now as then,
through the rise and fall of nations
one sure faith yet standing fast;
God still speaks, his word
unchanging,
God the first, and God the last.

Greeting: The Lord be with you.
AND ALSO WITH YOU. (see Ruth 2:4)
Prayer of Preparation:
As we gather as God's people let us pray together:
God of love and peace, you know what we think and feel.
Touch our hearts that our thoughts and actions may be good so that we
may love you and honour you, through Jesus Christ our Lord, AMEN.
The Summary of the Commandments:
‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord
your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your
mind, and with all your strength.’ Jesus said: ‘This is the great and first
commandment. And a second is like it: you shall love your neighbour as
yourself.’

Kyrie (Dudman)
The Confession
Let us confess our sins in penitence and faith, confident in God's
forgiveness.
God of mercy and grace,
we have sometimes thought wrong things,
and done wrong things and
we have not always loved each other as we should.
We are sorry.
Forgive us and help us to love and obey you,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Absolution {Celebrant}
Almighty God, who has promised forgiveness to all who turn to him in
faith: pardon you and set you free from all your sins, strengthen you in
all goodness and keep you in eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
4
Prayer of the Day
Eternal God,
you have taught us that the night is far spent
and the day is at hand:
keep us awake and alert, watching for your kingdom,
and make us strong in faith,
so that when Christ comes in glory to judge the earth,
we may go out joyfully to greet him;
and, with all your saints, may worship you for ever;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD Readings from 'New Revised Standard Version' (NRSV)
First Reading: Jeremiah 33:14-16 (CEV)
The LORD said: I made a wonderful promise to Israel and Judah, and the days
are coming when I will keep it. I promise that the time will come when I will
appoint a king from the family of David, a king who will be honest and rule
with justice. In those days, Judah will be safe; Jerusalem will have peace and
will be named, “The LORD Gives Justice.”
Response: Hear the word of the Lord,
THANKS BE TO GOD
Psalm: 25.1-6 1 In you, O Lord my God, have I put my hope:
in you have I trusted, let me not be ashamed, nor let my enemies triumph over me. 2 Let none who wait for you be put to shame:
but let those that break faith be confounded and gain nothing. 3 Show me your ways, O Lord:
and teach me your paths. 4 Lead me in the ways of your truth, and teach me:
for you are the God of my salvation. 5 In you have I hoped all the day long:
because of your goodness, O Lord. 6 Call to mind your compassion and your loving-kindness:
for they are from of old.
5
WE STAND FOR THE READING OF THE HOLY GOSPEL AS A SIGN OF RESPECT AS WE GREET OUR
LORD WHO IS PRESENT IN HIS HOLY WORD.
The Lord be with you
AND ALSO WITH YOU
The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Saint Luke chapter 21
beginning at the 29th
verse.
GLORY TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Then Jesus told them a story: When you see a fig tree or any other tree
putting out leaves, you know that summer will soon come. So, when you see
these things happening, you know that God’s kingdom will soon be here.
Gospel Response: This is the gospel of the Lord
PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.
TALK
Let us together affirm the faith of the Church.
We believe in God the Father
who made us and loves us.
We believe in Jesus Christ,
the Son of God,
who saves us and loves us.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
who loves us and gives us life.

Final Hymn: TIS 52
1. Let us sing to the God of salvation,
let us sing to the Lord our rock!
Let us come to his house with thanksgiving,
let us come before the Lord and sing!
Praise our Maker,
praise our Saviour,
praise the Lord our everlasting King.
Every throne must bow before him,
God is Lord of everything!
2. In his hands are the earth’s deep places
and the strength of the hills is his;
all the sea is the Lord’s, for he made it,
by his hands the dry land was formed.
3. Let us worship the Lord our Maker,
let us kneel to the Lord our God;
for we all are the sheep of his pasture,
he will guide us by his powerful hand.
4. Let today be the time when you hear him!
May our hearts not be hard or cold,
lest we stray from the Lord in rebellion,
as his people did in time of old.
