A Morning Service of the Word

From Common Worship


Wednesday 25th March at 9.30am

Greeting
O Lord, open our lips
All and our mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Give us the joy of your saving help
All and sustain us with your life-giving Spirit.

We have come together in the name of Christ to offer our praise and thanksgiving,
to hear and receive God’s holy word, to pray for the needs of the world, and to
seek forgiveness of our sins, that by the power of the Holy Spirit we may give
ourselves to the service of God.

Prayers of Penitence
God so loved the world
That he gave his only Son Jesus Christ
To save us from our sins,
To be our advocate in heaven,
And to bring us to eternal life.

Let us confess our sins in penitence and faith,


Firmly resolved to keep God’s commandments
And to live in love and peace with all.

All Father eternal, giver of light and grace


We have sinned against you and against our neighbor
In what we have thought
In what we have said and done,
Through ignorance, through weakness,
Through our own deliberate fault.
We have wounded your love
And marred your image in us.
We are sorry and ashamed
and repent of all our sins.
For the sake of your son Jesus Christ,
Who died for us,
Forgive us all that is past
And lead us our of darkness
To walk as children of light. Amen

May the Father of all mercies


Cleanse us from our sins
And restore us in his image
To the praise and glory of his name
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

The Liturgy of the Word

The First Reading - Isaiah 7:10-14 New International Version (NIV)

Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz, “Ask the LORD your God for a sign, whether in the
deepest depths or in the highest heights.”

But Ahaz said, “I will not ask; I will not put the LORD to the test.”

Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the
patience of humans? Will you try the patience of my God also? Therefore the Lord
himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will
call him Immanuel.

This is the Word of the Lord

All: Thanks be to God

The Psalm – Psalm 40: 5-11

Many, LORD my God,


are the wonders you have done,
the things you planned for us.
None can compare with you;
were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
they would be too many to declare.

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire—


but my ears you have opened—
burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.
Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—
it is written about me in the scroll.
I desire to do your will, my God;
your law is within my heart.”

I proclaim your saving acts in the great assembly;


I do not seal my lips, LORD,
as you know.
I do not hide your righteousness in my heart;
I speak of your faithfulness and your saving help.
I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness
from the great assembly.

Do not withhold your mercy from me, LORD;


may your love and faithfulness always protect me.
The Second Reading – Luke 1:26-38

In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to
Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named
Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to
her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favoured! The Lord is with you.”

Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this
might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found
favour with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him
Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God
will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s
descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”

“How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most
High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of
God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she
who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. For no word from
God will ever fail.”

“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.”


Then the angel left her.

This is the Word of the Lord

All: Thanks be to God

Canticle

Jubilate – a song of Joy Psalm 100

All: O be joyful in the Lord, all the earth;


Serve the Lord with gladness
And come before his presence with a song.
Know that the Lord is God;
It is he that has made us and we are his;
We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
And his courts with praise;
Give thanks to him and bless his name.
For the Lord is gracious; his steadfast love is everlasting
And his faithfulness endures from generation to generation.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning, is now
and shall be for ever. Amen
Creed

All: I believe in God, the Father almighty,


Creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,


Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
He ascended into heaven,
He is seated at the right hand of the Father,
And he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,


The holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen

Hymn

Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord!


Unnumbered blessings give my spirit voice;
Tender to me the promise of his word;
In God my Saviour shall my heart rejoice.

Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his name!


Make known his might, the deeds his arm has done;
His mercy sure, from age to age the same;
His holy name, the Lord, the mighty One.

Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his might!


Powers and dominions lay their glory by;
Proud hearts and stubborn wills are put to flight,
The hungry fed, the humble lifted high.

Tell out, my soul, the glories of his word!


Firm is his promise, and his mercy sure.
Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord
To children's children and forever more!

Prayers
Intercessions – we shall offer some intercessions and then have a few moments
of quiet prayer.
The Lord’s Prayer
As our Saviour taught us, so we pray:
All: Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory
For ever and ever. Amen

Blessing
The Lord bless us, and preserve us from all evil,
And keep us in eternal life.

All: Amen
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.
All: In the name of Christ. Amen
