ST. G EORGE ’ S ON - THE -H ILL Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost 10:30AM HOLY EUCHARIST, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH 2018
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.
Organ Prelude: To God on High Alone be Glory
Vincent Lübeck
The Gathering of the Community We gather with song and prayer as the People of God The children begin downstairs, and will rejoin their families for communion. Processional Hymn: #505 Be Thou My Vision Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart; Naught be all else to me, save that thou art-Thou my best thought, by day or by night, Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light. Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true Word; I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord; Thou my great Father; thine own may I be, Thou in me dwelling, and I one with thee. Riches I heed not, nor the world's empty praise; Thou mine inheritance, now and always: Thou and thou only, first in my heart, High King of heaven, my treasure thou art. High King of heaven, when victory is won, May I reach heaven's joys, bright heaven's Sun! Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
