Rev Andrew Christie
Welcome and Church Family News
Call to worship
Ye who the name of Jesus bear
His sacred steps pursue
And let that mind that was in Him
Be also found in you.
Praise: MP 315: I will sing the wondrous story
I will sing the wondrous story
of the Christ which died for me,
how He left the realms of glory
for the cross on Calvary.
Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous story
of the Christ who died for me,
sing it with His saints in glory,
gathered by the crystal sea.
I was lost: but Jesus found me,
found the sheep that went astray,
raised me up and gently led me
back into the narrow way.
Days of darkness still may meet me,
sorrow’s path I oft may tread;
but His presence still is with me,
by His guiding hand I’m led.
He will keep me till the river
rolls its waters at my feet:
then He’ll bear me safely over,
made by grace for glory meet.
Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous story
of the Christ who died for me,
sing it with His saints in glory,
gathered by the crystal sea.
The Offering
Prayer and the Lord’s Prayer
The Baptism of Darcie Eliza Nelson
Praise: CH4 564: Jesus loves me!
Reading: Psalm 98 (page 493)
Praise: MP 853: I love to hear the story
I love to hear the story
which angel voices tell,
how once the King of glory
came down on earth to dwell.
I am both weak and sinful,
but this I surely know,
the Lord came down to save me
because he loved me so.
I’m glad my blessed Saviour
was once a child like me,
to show how pure and holy
His little ones might be;
and if I try to follow
His footsteps here below,
He never will forget me
Because He loves me so.
To tell His love and mercy
my sweetest songs I’ll raise:
and though I cannot see Him,
I know He hears my praise;
for He Himself has promised
that even I may go
to sing among His angels
because He loves me so.
Reading: St John Ch 15 v 9 – 17 (page 889)
Praise: MP 419: Like a mighty river flowing
Like a mighty river flowing,
like a flower in beauty growing,
far beyond all human knowing
is the perfect peace of God.
Like the hills serene and even,
like the coursing clouds of heaven,
like the heart that’s been forgiven.
Is the perfect peace of God.
Like the summer breezes playing,
like the tall trees softly swaying,
like the lips of silent praying
is the perfect peace of God.
Like the morning sun ascended,
like the scents of evening blended,
like a friendship never ended
is the perfect peace of God.
Like the azure ocean swelling,
like the jewel all-excelling,
far beyond our human telling
is the perfect peace of God.
Sermon: Jesus, the sinner’s friend
Prayers of Thanksgiving and Intercession
Praise: CH4 561: Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Benediction CCL Licence No 409105
