OPENING HYMN: BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED
WATERS
When youre weary feelin small
When tears are in your eyes Ill dry them a11
Im on your side Oh
When times get rough and friends just cant be found
Like a bridge over troubled water- I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water - I will lay me down!
When youre down and out when youre
on the street
When evening falls so hard I will comfort you
Ill take your part Oh
When darkness comes - and pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water - I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down!
A time when dreams so long denied - can flourish -
as we unveil the love we now must hide.
A time for us at last to see - life worthwhile - for you - and me
And with our love - through tears and thorns - we
will endure
As we pass surely through ev'ry storm.
A time for us someday there'll be - a new world -
A world of shining HOPE for you and me!
GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST, AND peace
to his people on earth. Lord God, heavenly
King, almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you
for your glory. Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of
God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us; you are seated at
The right hand of the Father, receive our prayer. For you alone are the Holy One,
You alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy
Spirit, in the glory of God the Father, Amen.
| GOSPEL RESPONSE: |
We will hear Your Word, one in love; |
|
we
will live in Your word, one in love; |
|
we will spread Your word, one in love! |
WE BELIEVE IN ONE GOD, the Father, the
Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all
that is seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of
God, eternally begotten, not made, one in Being with the Father, Through him
all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven;
by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered, died and was
Buried. On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures; he
Ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come
Again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from
The Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic
Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the
resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come, Amen.
PETITION RESPONSE: Open our hearts, O' Lord.
