Prelude:                      “The Franklin Ensemble”

 

Processional:       # 115         “Thy Word is a Lamp Unto My Feet”  

 

Call to Worship:  (in unison the words in bold)

“To live our praise to Thee.”

That is our deepest desire, O God.

 

Take these words we speak this day, these songs we sing, the gifts we offer; our inner thoughts, our outer expressions – take them all, and make them into a living praise that will not end with the final note of the postlude, but go with us beyond this place into our world. This we ask in Jesus’ name. Amen

 

Words of Welcome
Good Morning and Welcome to the Rockburn Presbyterian Church this beautiful Sunny Sunday morning. We are so very pleased to have the Franklin Ensemble lead us in a Hymn Sing today. A Heartfelt Thank you  to you All.It is wonderful to praise the Lord in Song…..you know the old saying Music is good for the soul…..well I must agree.

Let us begin by choosing our first song from Mary’s Songbook…….any requests? 




Now a little humour about church & children

Adam’s Ribs  At Sunday School they were teaching how God created everything, including human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam’s ribs.

Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down in the grass as though he were ill, and she said, ‘Johnny, what is the matter?’

Little Johnny responded, ‘I have pain in my side. I think I’m going to have a wife.’



 

Selections from Mary’s Song book

 

Pastoral Prayer & The Lord’s Prayer



Shall we now bow our heads in prayer 

Thank you, God, for the ability to sing out our faith.  Accept our praise, from each and every tongue united in Jesus Christ. We know that all our voices together cannot begin to convey the wonder and glory and majesty of who you are. You put a new song in our mouths You set us free to sing! Receive the praise of these joy-filled hearts in Jesus name Amen

Let us now join together in Unison praying the prayer he taught us to pray  Our Father who art in heaven….



 

ANNOUCEMENTS, BIRTHDAYS & ANNIVERSARIES

 

Selections from Mary’s Song book

 

Scripture Readings:

Mark 12: 30,31    30 AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.' 

31"The second is this, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' There is no other commandment greater than these." 

 John 4:20   Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.

PRESENTATION OF OUR OFFERING

        The Offering Received:        

        The Offertory Hymn:     Praise God from who all blessings flow;

                                                   Praise him, all creatures here below:

                                                   Praise him above ye heavenly host;

                                                   Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost                 

         The Offertory Prayer



Remind us that you call us to love our neighbors as ourselves.  Help us, God, to exhibit the characteristics of gentleness, joy, generosity, and self-control.  Bless this offering which supports those various ministries that enable people to live by the Spirit.  We pray in Jesus’ name.  Amen
