1 Thanksgiving Service in celebration of the life of Peggy Titmus Friday 11th May 2018 Goring United Reformed Church Service Conducted by Reverend Anthony G Trevithick & Reverend Ian Suttie

2 Music on Entry Sheep May Safely Graze JS Bach Welcome Prayer Hymn Jesus, Thou Joy of loving hearts, Thou Fount of life, Thou Light of men, From the best bliss that earth imparts, We turn unfilled to Thee again. Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood; Thou savest those that on Thee call; To them that seek Thee, Thou art good, To them that find Thee, all in all. We taste Thee, O Thou living Bread, And long to feast upon Thee still; We drink of Thee, the Fountain-head, And thirst our souls from Thee to fill.

3 Our restless spirits yearn for Thee Where'er our changeful lot is cast; Glad, when Thy gracious smile we see, Blest, when our faith can hold Thee fast. O Jesus, ever with us stay; Make all our moments calm and bright! Chase the dark night of sin away, Shed o'er the world Thy holy light. Prayers Reading 1 Corinthians 13: Corinthians 4: 8-10 & Peggy: A Life in Brief Margaret Phippen Family Tributes

4 Hymn The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want; He makes me down to lie In pastures green; he leadeth me The quiet waters by. My soul he doth restore again, And me to walk doth make Within the paths of righteousness, E'en for his own name's sake. Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale, Yet will I fear no ill: For thou art with me, and thy rod And staff me comfort still. My table thou hast furnished In presence of my foes; My head thou dost with oil anoint And my cup overflows. Goodness and mercy all my life Shall surely follow me; And in God's house for evermore My dwelling-place shall be.

5 Address Prayer of Thanksgiving & The Lord's Prayer Peggy's words to us If I should go before the rest of you Break not a flower nor inscribe a stone Nor when I am gone, speak in a Sunday voice, But be the usual selves that I have known. Weep if you must, parting is hell, But life goes on so sing as well. Thanks Hymn Thine be the glory, Risen, conquering Son, Endless is the victory Thou o'er death hast won; Angels in bright raiment Rolled the stone away, Kept the folded grave-clothes Where thy body lay.

6 Thine be the glory, Risen, conquering Son; Endless is the victory Thou o'er death hast won! Lo, Jesus meets us, Risen from the tomb; Lovingly he greets us, Scatters fear and gloom; Let the Church with gladness Hymns of triumph sing, For her Lord now liveth, Death hath lost its sting. Thine be the glory, Risen, conquering Son; Endless is the victory Thou o'er death hast won! No more we doubt thee, Glorious Prince of life; Life is naught without thee: Aid us in our strife; Make us more than conquerors Through thy deathless love; Bring us safe through Jordan To thy home above:

7 Thine be the glory, Risen, conquering Son; Endless is the victory Thou o'er death hast won! Benediction Music on Exit Rhosymedre - Variations on a Welsh hymn tune Vaughan Williams
