CALL TO WORSHIP
God is spirit.
Let us worship him in spirit and truth.
The Lord is with us.
Let us praise his name together.
CONFESSION
Almighty God, we confess that we have sinned against you:
for we have denied your saving presence in our lives,
and we have grieved your Holy Spirit.
Come to us in the fire of your love,
and set our minds on the things of the Spirit,
that we may bear his fruit in love and joy and peace;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
PSALM
Come, let us sing to the Lord our God;
raise the roof to the Rock of rescue.
Come into the presence of the Lord with thanks;
raise the rafters with songs of praise.
The Lord is the great God, over all;
greater than every other power.
He holds the depths of the earth in his hands,
and the mountain peaks belong to him.
The ocean is the Lord’s: it was made by God;
the land was formed by his own hands.
Come, let us bow before the Lord our maker;
with humble hearts we worship God.
The Lord is God and we are his;
we are the Shepherd’s very own flock.
cf Psalm 95.1-7
Open the eyes of my heart Lord
Open the eyes of my heart
I want to see You
I want to see You
To see you high and lifted up
Shining in the light of Your glory
Pour out Your power and love
As we sing holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy ….. (repeat)
I want to see you
I treasure Your voice
I cherish Your name
All I desire is Your presence again
There’s no strength in these bones
So Lord come fill me I can’t do it alone
So Lord be near me for Your kingdom come
Lord work through me and be glorified
Not for here, but for there
With the lost and the lonely
Not for here, but for there
With the broken and the hungry
Not for here, but for there
With the lost and the lonely
Not for here, but for there
Acts 11:19-30
19 Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that broke out when Stephen was killed travelled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, spreading the word only among Jews. 20 Some of them, however, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news about the Lord Jesus. 21 The Lord’s hand was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.
22 News of this reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. 23 When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts. 24 He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.
25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, 26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
27 During this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 One of them, named Agabus, stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world. (This happened during the reign of Claudius.) 29 The disciples, as each one was able, decided to provide help for the brothers and sisters living in Judea. 30 This they did, sending their gift to the elders by Barnabas and Saul.

Holy Spirit, living breath of God,
Breathe new life into my willing soul.
Let the presence of the risen Lord,
Come renew my heart and make me whole.
Cause Your Word to come alive in me;
Give me faith for what I cannot see,
Give me passion for Your purity;
Holy Spirit, breathe new life in me.
Holy Spirit, come abide within,
May Your joy be seen in all I do.
Love enough to cover every sin,
In each thought and deed and attitude.
Kindness to the greatest and the least,
Gentleness that sows the path of peace.
Turn my strivings into works of grace;
Breath of God show Christ in all I do.
Holy Spirit, from creation’s birth,
Giving life to all that God has made,
Show Your power once again on earth,
Cause Your church to hunger for your ways.
Let the fragrance of our prayers arise;
Lead us on the road of sacrifice,
That in unity the face of Christ
May be clear for all the world to see.

PRAYERS
Lord, come to bless us
and fill us with your Spirit.
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
Hear the call of the kingdom, lift your eyes to the King,
Let His song rise within you as a fragrant offering,
Of how God, rich in mercy, came in Christ to redeem
All who trust in His unfailing grace.
Hear the call of the Kingdom to be children of light,
With the mercy of heaven, the humility of Christ.
Walking justly before Him, loving all that is right
That the life of Christ may shine through Him.
King of Heaven, we will answer the call,
We will follow, bringing hope to the world,
Filled with passion, filled with power to proclaim
Salvation in Jesus’ name.
Hear the call of the Kingdom to reach out to the lost,
With the Father’s compassion in the wonder of the cross,
Bringing peace and forgiveness, and a hope yet to come;
Let the nations put their trust in Him.
DISMISSAL
God of power, may the boldness of your Spirit transform us,
may the gentleness of your Spirit lead us,
may the gifts of your Spirit equip us to serve and
worship you, now and always. Amen
Filled with the Spirit’s power, go in the light and peace of Christ.
Thanks be to God. Alleluia, alleluia.
