The Christian Journey

– through Lent

– through prayer

Welcome and Opening Prayer

Grace, mercy and peace

from God our Father

and the Lord Jesus Christ

be with you.

And also with you.

his is the day that the Lord has made.

Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Loving Lord,

fill us with your life-giving,

joy-giving, peace-giving presence,

that we may praise

you now with our lips

and all day long with our lives

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Hymn

1. Forty days and forty nights

thou wast fasting in the wild;

forty days and forty nights

tempted and yet undefiled.

Sunbeams scorching all the day;

chilly dewdrops nightly shed;

prowling beasts about thy way,

stones thy pillow, earth thy bed.

2. Shall not we thy watchings share,

and from earthly joys abstain,

fasting with unceasing prayer,

glad with thee to suffer pain?

And if Satan, vexing sore,

flesh or spirit should assail,

thou his vanquisher before,

grant we may not faint nor fail.

4

3. So shall we have peace divine,

holier gladness ours shall be,

round us too shall angels shine,

such as ministered to thee.

Keep, o keep us, Saviour dear,

ever constant by thy side;

that with thee we may appear

at the eternal Eastertide.

Words: G H Smyttan (1822-1870) & Francis Pott (1832-1909)

Music: Glad with Thee, Geoffrey Beaumont

(Thirty Twentieth Century Hymn Tunes – 12)

Confession

We come to God to say sorry

Lord we have done wrong

in thought, word and deed,

We are truly sorry

and we ask you to forgive us

Help us by your Holy Spirit

to live a new life.

Amen.

May Almighty God have mercy upon us,

forgive us our sins

and bring us to everlasting life.

Amen

Bible Reading – Matthew 6.1-6

Jesus said to the disciples, ‘Beware of practising your piety before others in order to

be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven. So

whenever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in

the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by others. Truly I tell

you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left

hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your alms may be done in secret;

and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. And whenever you pray, do not

be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the

street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have

received their reward. But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door

and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will

reward you.’

Talk

Hymn

1. God forgave my sin in Jesus’ name,

I’ve been born again in Jesus’ name;

and in Jesus’ name I come to you

to share his love as he told me to.

He said, ‘Freely, freely you have received,

freely, freely give;

go in my name and because you believe

others will know that I live.’

2. All power is given in Jesus’ name,

in earth and heaven in Jesus’ name;

and in Jesus’ name I come to you

to share his power as he told me to.

Prayers

The Lord’s Prayer (sung)

1. Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,



2. On earth as it is in heaven,


Give us this day our daily bread,



6

3. Forgive us our trespasses,


as we forgive those who trespass against us.



4. Lead us not into temptation,


but deliver us from all that is evil.



5. For thine is the kingdom,

the power, and the glory,


for ever, and for ever and ever.



6. Amen, amen, it shall be so.


Amen, amen, it shall be so.



Words & Music: Traditional Caribbean


Final Hymn

1. Purify my heart,

let me be as gold and precious silver.

Purify my heart,

let me be as gold, pure gold.

Refiner’s fire,

my heart’s one desire is to be holy,

set apart for you, Lord.

I choose to be holy,

set apart for you, my master,

ready to do your will.

2. Purify my heart,

cleanse me from within and make me holy.

Purify my heart,

cleanse me from my sin, deep within.

involve complicated accounts, but the

ability to count the coins donated, and pay

them into the bank. If you can help with

this importannt task, please ring Peter

message.

make this possible. Please contact

Beryl Kirtland on 01572 724103 or by
