As per usual please feel free to use this humble offering or any part of it if you find it helpful.
Loving Father,
We come
together this morning to worship you,
To acknowledge
your greatness
And to
proclaim your goodness
To praise you
for the awesome and holy God you are
And to give
thanks for all you have done
We know what
love is because you first loved us
God, who created
all there is
You made us
as unique individuals cast in your image
Blessed and
sustained by your providence
You created
us to know you and enjoy you always
With a
capacity to give and receive love
Capable of
showing great kindness and care
We are
fearfully and wondrously made
Gracious God
When we
turned away from us, you did not turn away from us
You sent your
son Jesus to dwell amongst us
In his life
and teaching he showed us your grace and mercy
He gave his
life on the cross so we could be forgiven
In his resurrection
we find new, abundant and eternal life
In Jesus
Christ, we have been reconciled with you as our Heavenly Father
Faithfull
God
We thank you
for the wonder of your abiding presence
That you
have kept your promise and sent your Holy Spirit to dwell in us
That by your
spirit you lead and guide us into all truth
That you
enable us to witness to Jesus Christ in word and deed
That you
empower us to show God’s love to one another
That you
draw us together as your body on earth
Caring God
We thank you
for the love we know from each other
The embrace
and support of family and friends
Romantic
love leading to lifelong commitment
Companionship
and rejoicing in the good times
Care,
kindness and compassion shown in the hard times
Your touch and
grace in a hand reaching out to help
Righteous and
just God
This morning
we confess that we have fallen short
We have done
things that you have called us not to
We have left
undone the good you command us to do
That we have
not loved others as you have loved us
We humble
ask that you would forgive us Lord
We do this
trusting that because of Jesus you forgive and restore
Loving God
Fill us a
fresh with your spirits presence and power
Help us to
love one another as you have loved us
That people would see your love in our kindness and compassion
That in your
power we may overcome evil with good
That we may
share the truth of your grace and mercy
That we may
live to the glory of God, Father, Son and Spirit
