Acknowledge that the Lord is God; he made us, and we are his, his own people, the flock which he shepherds. (Psalm 100 v 3)

Prayer of Adoration, Confession & Forgiveness, Supplication & Collect

God of peace,

who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ,

the great Shepherd of the sheep

through the blood of an eternal covenant,

make us perfect in goodness

so that we may do your will;

and create in us what is pleasing to you;

through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Reading: John 10 v 1-10 Jesus the Good Shepherd

Hymn 14 (Psalm 23, t. Bay of Harris) The Lord’s my Shepherd

The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want.

He makes me down to lie

in pastures green he leadeth me

the quiet waters by.

My soul he doth restore again

and me to walk doth make

within the paths of righteousness,

even for his own name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,

yet will I fear none ill;

for thou art with me; and thy rod

and staff me comfort still.

My table thou hast furnished

in presence of my foes;

my head thou dost with oil anoint,

and my cup overflows.

Goodness and mercy all my life

shall surely follow me:

and in God’s house for evermore

my dwelling place shall be.

Address

Prayer of Thanksgiving, Intercession & Lord’s Prayer

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 debts

as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation;

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the Kingdom,

the power, and the glory,

for ever. Amen.

Hymn 522 (vv1, 2, 4)

The Church is wherever God’s people are praising,

knowing they’re wanted and loved by their Lord.

The Church is wherever Christ’s followers are trying

to live and to share out the Good News of God.

The Church is wherever God’s people are loving,

where all are forgiven and start once again,

where all are accepted, whatever their background,

whatever their past and whatever their pain.

The Church is wherever God’s people are praising,

knowing they’re wanted and loved by our Lord.

The Church is where we as Christ’s followers are trying

to live and to share out the Good News of God.

Benediction

When they asked, he gave them bread of heaven in plenty. (Psalm 105 v 40)

Prayer of Adoration, Confession & Forgiveness, & Collect

God of life and love,

your Son made himself known to his disciples

in the breaking of bread.

Open the eyes of our faith,

that we may see him in his redeeming work,

who is alive and reigns

with you and the Holy Spirit

one God, now and for ever, Amen

Reading: Luke 24 v 13-27 The Walk of Emmaus

Hymn 30 (Psalm 40) t. Ballerma

I waited for the Lord my God,

and patiently did bear;

at length to me he did incline

my voice and cry to hear.

He put a new song in my mouth,

our God to magnify;

many shall see it, and shall fear

and on the Lord rely.

O blessed are all they whose trust

upon the Lord relies;

respecting not the proud, nor such

as turn aside to lies.

Reading: Luke 24 v 28-35 Breaking bread

Hymn 52 (Psalm 84) How lovely is thy dwelling place

How lovely is thy dwelling place,

O Lord of hosts, to me!

The tabernacles of thy grace,

how pleasant Lord, they be!

Behold, the sparrow findeth out

an house wherein to rest;

the swallow also for herself

hath found her place to nest.

Blest are they in thy house who dwell,

they ever give thee praise.

And blest are they whose strength thou art,

in whose heart are thy ways.

Benediction
