Statement of faith We believe, praise and thank you loving God, for you have visited and redeemed your people. In the fullness of time your Word shared our human frailty living as a baby, a child, a youth and an adult in this remarkable, yet at times crazy world. We believe that in Jesus we have been shown what you are always like; that his light is your light, his truth the divine truth, his peace and love is the peace and love that lasts forever. We believe that in childhood you are our closest friend,
in teenage years the inspiration of our dreams, in mature years the guide and counsellor, and in the eventide you are the deathless companion. Because of Christ Jesus, the living Word, in our laughter, you are our joy, in sickness our healing, in turmoil our serenity, and in our grief you are the peace which this busy world cannot give. We believe in you and praise you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit One God, most wonderful, now and forever Amen Holy Communion During the Thanksgiving prayer the minister will invite the congregation to say the following Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. The Peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all Hymn 39
God the Lord, the king almighty
Benediction As the elements and vessels are removed from the church and the Elders of the Kirk Session leave the sanctuary, the congregation remain seated and sing Hymn 531 My Jesus, my Saviour
