Today is All Saints Day and tomorrow is All Souls and we want to remember all the saints and those for whom we grieve. If you would find it helpful, why not light your own candle(s) in remembrance and have a picture or memento nearby as we share in thanksgiving and worship together.

Leader:        Grace mercy and peace be with you

All:             and also with you.

Leader:        You have come to Mount Zion

                   And to the city of the Living God

                   The heavenly Jerusalem,

                   To the spirits of the righteous made perfect,

                   And to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant.    

                   Heb 12: ^{of 22-24}

Leader:        We come from scattered lives to meet with God.

                   Let us recognise his presence with us.

                   A moment of quiet as we call upon God and seek his presence

                   As God’s people we have gathered:

All:             let us worship him together.

Leader:        In the beginning

                   Before time, before people,

                   Before the world began,

ALL:          God was.

Leader:        Here and now

                   Among us, beside us,

                   Enlisting the people of earth

                   For the purposes of heaven,

ALL:          God is.

Leader:        in the future,

                   When we have turned to dust

                   And all we know has found its fulfilment,

ALL:          God will be.

Leader:        Not denying the world, but delighting in it,

                   Not condemning the world, but redeeming it,

                   Through Jesus Christ,

                   By the power of the Holy Spirit,

All:             God was, God is, God will be.

Leader:        Open our lips, O God,

All:             And our mouths shall proclaim your praise.

Leader:        The peace of the Lord be always with you

All:             And also with you.

A time for reflection and confession:

Leader:        The saints were faithful unto death

                   And now dwell in the heavenly kingdom forever

                   As we celebrate their joy,

                   Let us bring to the Lord our sins and weaknesses,

                   And ask for his mercy.

Leader:        O God of life, grant us your forgiveness

All:             For our careless thoughts,

                   For our thoughtless deeds

                   For our empty speech

                   And the words with which we wounded.

Leader:        O God of life, grant us your forgiveness,

All:             For our false desires,

                   And our hateful actions,

                   For our wastefulness

                   And for all we left untended.

Leader:        O loving Christ,

                   Hanged on a tree yet risen in the morning,

                   Scatter the sin from our souls

                   as the mist from the hills;

                   begin what we do,

                   inform what we say,

                   redeem who we are.

All:             In you we place our hope,

                   Our great hope, our living hope,

                   This day and evermore. Amen.

Collect Prayer:

                   God of holiness,

                   Your glory is proclaimed in every age:

                   As we rejoice in the faith of your saints,

                   Inspire us to follow their example

                   With boldness and joy;

                   Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Reading :   Daniel 7:1-3, 15-18

Affirmation of faith

Leader:        Let us affirm our faith in Jesus Christ the Son of God

All:             Though he was divine,

                   He did not cling to equality with God,

                   But made himself nothing.

                   Taking the form of a slave,

                   He was born in human likeness.

                   He humbled himself

                   And was obedient to death,

                   Even the death of the cross.

                   Therefore God has raised him on high,

                   And given him the name above every name:

                   That at the name of Jesus

                   Every knee should bow,

                   And every voice proclaim that Jesus Christ is                                    Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

                   Amen.                                                       ^{cf Phil 2 : 6-11}

Reading: Ephesians 1:1-end   

Reflection from the Vicarage

Now let us pray together

Time to Pray      (Prayers led by Judith Cutler)

We say the Lord’s Prayer together

                   Our Father in heaven,

                   Hallowed be your name,

                   Your kingdom come,

                   Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven,

                   Give us today our daily bread,

                   Forgive us our sins,

                    As we forgive those who sin against us,

                   Save us in the time of trial

                   And deliver us from evil,

                   For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours,

                   Now and forever. Amen.

Ending:

Leader:        Lift up your heads, O gates;

                   Be lifted up, you everlasting doors;

                   And the King of glory shall come in.

                   “who is the King of glory?”

                   “The Lord, strong and mighty,

                   The Lord who is mighty in battle.”

                   Lift up your heads, O gates;

                   Be lifted up, you everlasting doors;

                   And the King of glory shall come in.

                   “Who is this King of glory?”

                   The Lord of hosts,

                   He is the King of glory.”

Blessing:

                   May God, Who has given you in the lives of the saints

                   Patterns of holy living and victorious dying,

                   Strengthen you to follow them in the way of holiness.

                   Amen.

                   May God, who kindled the fire of his love in the hearts of the saints,                    pour upon you the riches of his grace.

                   Amen.

                   May God, who calls you no longer strangers and aliens

                   But fellow-citizens with all the saints,

                   Bring you to your home in heaven,

                   Amen.

                                                                                                                                                                ^{cf Col1:12 Eph 1:17,18; 2:14}

                   and the blessing of God almighty,

                   the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

                   be among you and remain with you always. All     Amen.

All:    We go into the world to walk in God’s light,

          To rejoice in God’s love and to reflect God’s glory. Amen.
