1 Seek peace and pursue it ORDER OF SERVICE
2 Introit/call to worship StF 768 The peace of the Lord be always with you (said or sung) Welcome Welcome to this time of worship. Here we shall dedicate the Easter Offering and hear stories of mission partners supported by the World Mission Fund, where the Easter Offering goes. Each story shares something of our theme, Seek peace and pursue it, which can be found in Psalm 34. We shall also think of peace closer to home, through our prayers and hymns, as we grow to be people in whom peace dwells. StF 410 Lord, your Church on earth is seeking Prayer of adoration Let us pray. God of peace, As we look around this world, we see your fingerprints all over the beauty of creation we realise your power in the remarkable strength of the planet we trust in your steadfast love as night once again returns to day we seek your peace as we find silence in busy and noisy lives. Creator God, whose peace passes all understanding we come, seeking you. May we find you in this place today. Amen. 2
3 Psalm 34 StF 809 (to be read responsively) StF 710 Peace, perfect peace Prayer of confession Prince of Peace, we come to you knowing that we are not always people of peace. For the times we ve used words that have harmed and not used words that would have helped Lord we are sorry, Lord forgive. For the times we ve built walls rather than bridges Lord we are sorry, Lord forgive. For the times we ve broken peace rather than made it Lord we are sorry, Lord forgive. Gift us your peace so we may be known as your friends in the world. In your name we pray. Amen. The Lord s Prayer StF 720 We turn to you, O God of every nation 3
4 Story 1 Raing and Mervyn McCullagh are mission partners in Sri Lanka. They tell the first story. Story 2 John Howard is a mission partner in Israel/Palestine and gives the following account regarding the Tent of Nations. Story 3 This story comes from Sheila Norris in Japan. Choral piece (optional) What peace is there for tarnished lives (from Singing the Faith Plus) What peace is there for tarnished lives, when love is challenged, hate survives? Remember in that Upper Room, What peace for Peter who denied his friend who hung, his friend who died? And yet within that Upper Room 4
5 What peace for those who slept away, while Jesus sweated blood to pray? And yet within that Upper Room What peace for Thomas full of doubt, with questions hedging all about? And yet within that Upper Room What peace for those who fled away, when darkness covered brightest day? And yet within that Upper Room What peace when we have let God down, denied God s call and made God frown? And yet within this present place Christ comes and offers peace. Words: Andrew Pratt (9 April 2011) accessed from Readings Matthew 5: Peter 3:8-11 Reflection (optional) 5
6 Prayers of intercession God our refuge and strength; we pray for people in the war-torn places of the world, for corrupt leaders and violent insurgents. For people removed from their homes, fleeing danger (Please add current world concerns if you wish.) God, our refuge and strength, we pray for the people of Sri Lanka: the women, mothers, daughters, widows and breadwinners. For the important transformational work of Raing, Mervyn and the National Christian Council of Sri Lanka, so that all communities, post-conflict, can live together: truly reconciled without fear, and with no animosity, hatred or suspicion in their hearts. God, our refuge and strength, we pray for the Tent of Nations: a community of peace in a region of conflict. We place Daoud, his family and the community there into your hands, along with the Revd John Howard, the mission partner. We pray for a just peace where all refuse to be enemies. God, our refuge and strength, we pray for Japan; for the work done by our mission partner Sheila Norris in the Nagasaki High School s peace groups and educational exchanges. May they inspire generations to be people of peace and reconciliation. 6
7 God our refuge and strength, we pray for ourselves and those known to us; the people we struggle with and people we would rather avoid. Give us eyes to see others as you see them. (Please add local and personal concerns as appropriate.) Amen. The Easter Offering is collected while music is played. We say together God of peace and reconciliation, may this money and those who have given it be channels of your peace. May the World Mission Fund and all our Partner Churches enable your peace to dwell in communities all over your world, and may we do our part to seek peace and pursue it in our lives. Amen. We turn our thoughts to peace closer to home: StF 619 Thanks for friends who keep on loving Response StF 662 Have you heard God s voice; has your heart been stirred? Blessing Let us go as God s people to seek peace and pursue it. Amen. 7
