S T . G EORGE ’ S ON - THE -H ILL THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD 10:30AM HOLY EUCHARIST, SUNDAY, JANUARY 13TH 2019
The Sunday Celebration We are a growing Christian community celebrating and enacting the love of God through prayer and service in this neighbourhood. In our celebration today, we will try to be joyful and reflective, playful and reverent, as our thanksgiving for the new life which God gives us through Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. Here is the shape of our service this morning: We gather together as a community of faith. We read the Word of God given to us in the Bible. We respond to the readings through silence, song and preaching. We break the bread and share the cup of wine. We take God’s love out into our lives and the world. Children are full members of our church and we welcome their presence and participation in our worship. If at any point you are unable to stand please feel free to be seated.

Processional Hymn# 103 On Jordan’s Bank, the Baptist’s Cry AS YOU ARE ABLE PLEASE STAND.
On Jordan's bank, the Baptist's cry, announces that the Lord is nigh; Awake and hearken, for he brings, glad tidings of the King of kings. Then cleansed be every breast from sin; make straight the way for God within. Prepare we in our hearts a home, where such a mighty guest may come. For thou art our salvation, Lord, our refuge, and our great reward; Without thy grace we waste away, like flowers that wither and decay. To heal the sick stretch out thine hand, and bid the fallen sinner stand; Shine forth, and let thy light restore earth's own true loveliness once more. All praise, eternal Son, to thee whose advent doth thy people free, Whom with the Father we adore and Holy Ghost for evermore. The Gathering of the Community The Apostolic Greeting Presider: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. People: And also with you.
