  1. SATURDAY MORNING WORSHIP UCANZ FORUM 2009 Whanganui

  2. Grace and peace to you from God Kia tau ki a koutou, teatawhai me terangimarie o teAtua God fill you with truth and joy Ma teAtaukoe e whakau, kitepono me tehari

  3. This is the day which the Lord has made Koterateneiihanga e Ihowa Let us rejoice and be glad in it Kia hari, kiakoatatou

  4. These hills where the hawk flies lonely beaches where the long surf rolls mountains where the snows meet heaven, these are our care. Pastures where the sheep graze calmly, orchards where the apples grow, gardens where the roses cluster, These are our prayer.

  5. Forests, where the tree ferns tower, rivers running strong and clear, oceans where the great whales wander, these are our care. Race meeting race as equals, justice for age-old wrong, worth for every man and woman, these are our prayer.

  6. Cities where the young roam restless, lives brought to deep despair, homeless and powerless people, these are our care. Places where the Word is spoken, hands held in serving love, faiths of our many cultures, these are our prayer.

  7. All that the old world gave us, all that the new world brings, language, ideas, and custom, these are our care. Life finding joy and value, faith seeking truth and light, God heard and seen in all things, this be our prayer. Colin Gibson • CCL#110425

  8. Opening Prayer We come to this beautiful place, O God at your invitation. You welcome us all and challenge us to welcome one another in Christ’s name. Help us to recognize in each person here the wonderful greatness that you perceive and to celebrate each one’s worth for Christ’s sake. Amen

  9. TE ATATU PUPPETS

  10. AFFIRMATION OF FAITH We are not alone, we live in God’s world We believe in God: who has created and is creating, who has come in Jesus, the Word made flesh, to reconcile and make new, who works in us and others by the Spirit. We trust in God

  11. We are called to be the Church: to celebrate God’s presence, to love and serve others, to seek justice and resist evil, to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen, our judge and our hope. In life, in death, in life beyond death, God is with us. We are not alone. Thanks be to God. The United Church of Canada

  12. Intercessions Let us pray for the Church and world giving thanks for God’s goodness.Holy God, though this world depends upon your grace, it is governed and tended by humans.So we pray for those who walk the corridors of power in the parliaments of this and other lands, whose judgements we value or fear.

  13. May they always consider those they represent, making decisions with courage and integrity, and resist any temptation to abuse the trust placed in them. God of grace Hear our prayer

  14. We pray for your church throughout the world, thanking you for all who serve Christ. By your Spirit strengthen your people for their work and witness in the world. May the Partner Churches to whom we belong be salt of the earth and light to the world. Unite them and us in your truth and love, that we who confess your name may also reflect your glory. God of grace Hear our prayer

  15. We pray for those who hold key positions in the worlds of finance, business and industry whose decisions may profit some or impoverish many.

  16. May they always value people higher than profit; may they never impose burdens on the poor which they would not carry themselves; and may they never divorce money from morality or ownership from stewardship. God of grace Hear our prayer

  17. God of truth and justice we ask you to help the men and women who administer and police our laws. Grant them insight, courage and compassion, protect them from corruption and arrogance.

  18. Grant that we, whom they serve, may give them the support they need so may our people be strengthened more and more in respect and concern for one another. God of grace Hear our prayer

  19. We pray for those in the caring professions who look after and listen to kind, cruel and cantankerous folk, and for those who make decisions regarding the nation’s health and welfare.

  20. May they always sense the sanctity of life and every person’s uniqueness;may they help and heal by their interest as well as their skill; and may they be saved from tiredness and an excess of demands. God of grace Hear our prayer

  21. And let us remember those for whom we are responsible and to whom we are accountable in what we do today.May we show to them the thoughtfulness, tolerance and kindness of Jesus. God of grace Hear our prayer

  22. Holy God, hear our prayers, and if today we might be the means by which you answer the prayers of others, then may you find us neither deaf nor defiant, but keen to fulfil your purpose, for Jesus’ sake.Amen

  23. Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours Now and for ever. Amen.

  24. SONG Great and deep the Spirit’s purpose hidden now in mystery Nature bursts with joyful promise ripe with what is yet to be. In a wealth of rich invention still the work of art unfolds barely have we seen, and faintly, what God’s great salvation holds.

  25. Great and deep the Spirit’s purpose making Jesus seen and heard. Every age of God creation grasps new meaning from the Word. Show us, Holy Spirit, show us your new work begun today: eyes and ears and hearts are open teach us what to do and say.

  26. Great and deep the Spirit’s purpose all God’s children brought to birth freed from hunger, fear and evil every corner of the earth, and a million million voices speak with joy the Saviour’s name every face reflects his image never any two the same.

  27. Great and deep the Spirit’s purpose nothing shall be left to chance. All that lives will be united in the everlasting dance. All fulfilled and all perfected each uniquely loved and known Christ in glory unimagined once for all receives his own. CCL #110425 MarnieBarrell

  28. God of power, may the boldness of your Spirit transform us. May the gentleness of your Spirit lead us. May the gifts of your Spirit be our strength during our day together and always. Amen
