Hymn - We have a Gospel to Proclaim

 

Song -  A thousand Hallelujahs

 

God of peace,
We thank You for Your Son Jesus,
Who in living, dying and rising again – was victorious over sin and death,
making a way for us to be reconciled with You, with ourselves and each other,
and with all of creation.

WE GIVE YOU GLORY AND HONOUR

God of grace,
we give You thanks that You listen to our cries.
You incline towards us and lift us as an eagle to Yourself,
that we might be known and treasured as Your children.

WE GIVE YOU GLORY AND HONOUR

God of hope,
You poured out Your love into our hearts
through the Holy Spirit.
In our weakness and in our strength,
in our living and in our dying,
in our coming in and going out
You are with us.

WE GIVE YOU GLORY AND HONOUR

To God the Father,
God the Son,
And God the Holy Spirit,
be glory and praise, now and forever.
AMEN

Song -  There is one Gospel

 

Matthew 9:35-10:8 (NRSV)

The Harvest Is Great, the Labourers Few

35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; 38 therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest.’

The Twelve Apostles

10 Then Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every sickness. 2 These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax-collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him.

The Mission of the Twelve

5 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: ‘Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, 6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 As you go, proclaim the good news, “The kingdom of heaven has come near.” 8 Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. You received without payment; give without payment.

 

Song -  Men of Faith

The Lord's Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
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 for ever.
Amen. 

 

Song -  Christ our Hope in Life and Death 

 

May the God of hope journey with you in sun and rain
May the God of grace guide you both day and night
May the God of peace make your hands work tirelessly for the kingdom
May the God of love be made real to all through your life and work.
Amen
