Welcome to this weeks Sunday Focus

Jeremiah 19 11-13

Hymn - Lord of all Hopefulness

Song - Behold Our God

Breathe in God’s presence and love...
And breathe out all the words you don’t need to give headspace to
Or hold on to.
Let go of hurts
And let go of disappointments.
Lay any sadness down – for this moment
And know here,
Your worth,
Your value
In God’s eyes.
Lord Jesus,
Thank you for seeing in us
What we can’t see in ourselves.
Thank you for looking beyond our faults and our failings,
To see what with you, we truly could be and are.
Give us the courage to dare to let you shape and then re-shape us,
And in your gentle transforming of us
may we find peace
And joy,
to our very souls –
and the fullness of life we crave.
Lord Jesus, thank you.
Thank you for your constant care of us
And for your endless patience with us,
Thank you for the example in living which you have set us –
Help us we pray,
To keep coming back to you –
So that we might find the confidence to trust that what you say is true –
That you have come that all may have life.
And teach us how to live that truth.
Every day – and in every way.
Amen

Song - When The Music Fades

John 15:1-8

Jesus the True Vine

15‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine-grower. ²He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes^* to make it bear more fruit. ³You have already been cleansed^* by the word that I have spoken to you. ⁴Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. ⁵I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. ⁶Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. ⁷If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. ⁸My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become^* my disciples.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen.

Hymn - Blessed Assurance

BLESSING

Let’s go in Christ’s name,
Ready to welcome especially,
Those whom others shun
Or view as odd.
Let’s go to bless
Because we know how blessed we are.
And glory be to God the Creator,
Jesus our Saviour and Lord,
And to the Holy Spirit,
This day and always. Amen
