Introduction and welcome Confession Father God, you are the one who leads us from darkness into light, from captivity into freedom, from anxiety into peace, from despair into joy. Yet we long to break free, choosing independence, convinced of our own wisdom, forgetting your love and grace. Forgive us, draw close to us, embrace us once again in your loving arms, and enable us to follow you in worship and grateful service each day of our lives Amen

Absolution May the God of love and power forgive you and free you from your sins, heal and strengthen you by his Spirit, and raise you to new life in Christ our Lord. Amen. Song; Jesus, name above all names Jesus name above all names Beautiful Saviour glorious Lord Emmanuel God is with us Blessed Redeemer living Word Jesus loving Shepherd Vine of the branches Son of God Prince of Peace Wonderful Counsellor Lord of the universe Light of the world Praise him Lord above all lords King above all kings God's only Son The Prince of Peace who by his Spirit Comes to live in us Master and Friend Reading; John 1:1-14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognise him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. Reflection;

Song: The Spirit lives to set us free The Spirit lives to set us free, Walk, walk in the light. He binds us all in unity, Walk, walk in the light. Refrain Walker, walker walker in the light, Walker in the light, Walker in the light, Walker in the light of the Lord. Jesus promised life to all, Walk, walk in the light. The dead were wakened by his call, Walk, walk in the light. Refrain

He died in pain on Calvary, Walk, walk in the light. To save the lost like you and me, Walk, walk in the light. Refrain We know his death was not the end, Walk, walk in the light. He gave his Spirit to be our friend, Walk, walk in the light. Refrain The Spirit lives in you and me, Walk, walk in the light; His light will shine for all to see, Refrain Walker, walker walker in the light, Walker in the light, Walker in the light, Walker in the light of the Lord. Affirming our faith Let us declare our faith in God. We believe in God the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named. We believe in God the Son, who lives in our hearts through faith, and fills us with his love. We believe in God the Holy Spirit, who strengthens us with power from on high. We believe in one God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
