Christopher Idle, from 2 Peter 1 Hymns for Today s Church #538 Welcome: NZPB page: 404 NZPB page: 405 NZPB page: Dean Ian Render The Gathering of the Community Gloria Confession / Forgiveness / Absolution 3

4 Sentence: Collect: If you, O Lord, should note what we do wrong, Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered. Psalm 130: 34 Compassionate God, your forgiveness is more than we can imagine. Enable us to take hold of the forgiveness you offer and to have the grace to forgive others as we are forgiven.. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen Reading: Genesis 50: Judith Howlett Choir: Psalm 103: 1-13 Choir: All: 1 - Choir: My soul, give thanks to the Lord, all my being, bless God s holy name. My soul, give thanks to the Lord and never forget all God s blessings. The Lord is compassionate and love, slow to anger and rich in mercy. The Lord is compassionate and love, slow to anger and rich in mercy. 2 - Choir: It is God who forgives all your guilt, who heals every one of your ills, who redeems your life from the grave, who crowns you with love and compassion. 3 - Choir: The Lord will not always chide, will not be angry forever. God does not treat us according to our sins nor repay us according to our faults. 4 - Choir: For as the heavens are high above the earth so strong is God s love for the God-fearing. As parents have compassion on their children, the Lord has pity on those who are God-fearing. Reading: Romans 14: 1-12 Christine Kerr Gradual Hymn: Help us accept each other tune: Wolvercote [CP538] 1 Help us accept each other as Christ accepted us; teach us as sister, brother, each person to embrace. Be present, Lord, among us and bring us to believe we are ourselves accepted and meant to love and live. 2 Teach us, O Lord, your lessons, as in our daily life we struggle to be human and search for hope and faith. Teach us to care for people, for all - not just for some, to love them as we find them or as they may become. 4

5 3 Let your acceptance change us, so that we may be moved in living situations to do the truth in love; to practice your acceptance until we know by heart the table of forgiveness and laughter's healing art. 4 Lord, for today's encounters with all who are in need, who hunger for acceptance, for righteousness and bread, we need new eyes for seeing, new hands for holding on: renew us with your Spirit; Lord, free us, make us one! Fred Kaan Hope Publishing Together in Song #648 Gospel Reading: Matthew 18: Rev d Margaret Thompson The Sermon: Dean Ian Render NZPB page: 410 Affirmation of Faith - Nicene Creed NZPB page: The Prayers of the People Rev d Dorothy Brooker NZPB page: 419 The Peace Dean Ian Render We greet the people near us, saying Peace be with you / Kia tau te rangimarie. During the next hymn the bread and wine, symbols of Christ s life, are brought to the altar; our offerings of money that support the mission and ministry of the Cathedral are collected and brought forward also. Offertory Hymn: I come with joy, a child of God tune: St Botolph [CP305] 1 I come with joy, a child of God, forgiven, loved and free, the life of Jesus to recall, in love laid down for me. 2 I come with Christians far and near to find, as all are fed, the new community of love in Christ s communion bread. 3 As Christ breaks bread, and bids us share, each proud division ends. The love that made us, makes us one, and strangers now are friends. 4 The Spirit of the risen Christ, unseen, but ever near, is in such friendship better known, alive among us here. 5 Together met, together bound by all that God has done, we ll go with joy, to give the world the love that makes us one.

This is a day of new beginnings; our God is making all things new. Brian Wren Hope Publishing Together in Song #653 Tune: Beginnings The Dismissal: Go now to love and serve the Lord. Go in peace.
