Note that, for the summer, our Zoom Link is different, as Alan Crowley of Good Shepherd will be hosting the online gathering.
Were not our hearts burn -ing as He spoke
Were not His words words we longed to hear
Were not our eyes opened in the breaking of the bread
Were not our hearts burn -ing as He spoke
Our God is here He walks among us
When two or three of us are gathered in his name
Our God is here and he surrounds us
And all creation sings the glory of his name
And we shall rise, as he is risen
And though he promised us we did not understand
Yes we shall rise as he is risen
And we will know him when he calls to us by name
Ephesians 4: 1-8, 11-16
I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace: 4 there is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. 7 But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ's gift. 8 Therefore it is said, "When he ascended on high, he made captivity itself a captive; he gave gifts to his people." 11 He himself granted that some are apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ. 14 We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people's trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming; 15 but speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body's growth in building itself up in love.
Lord's Prayer (recited together). |
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. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. for thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever and ever. Amen.
Closing Prayer
We praise your abiding guidance, O God, for you sent us Jesus, our Teacher and Messiah, to model for us the way of love for the whole universe. Loving God, open our ears to hear your word and draw us closer to you, that the whole world may be one with you as you are one with us in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
