8:00am Holy Communion* 10:30am Family Service and Baptism** The Order of Service is contained in the separate Service Book.
Opening Hymn** 1. I heard the voice of Jesus say, ‘Come unto me and rest; lay down, thou weary one, lay down thy head upon my breast.’ I came to Jesus as I was, Weary and worn and sad; I found in him a resting-place, and he has made me glad.
2. I heard the voice of Jesus say, ‘Behold, I freely give the living water, thirsty one; stoop down and drink and live.’ I came to Jesus, and I drank of that life-giving stream; my thirst was quenched, my soul revived, and now I live in him.
3. I heard the voice of Jesus say, ‘I am this dark world’s light; look unto me, thy morn shall rise, and all thy day be bright’: I looked to Jesus, and I found in him my star, my sun; and in that light of life I’ll walk till travelling days are done. Words: Horatius N Bonar (1808-1889) Music: Kingsfold, melody from English Country Songs 1893, collected by John Alexander Fuller Maitland (1856-1936), harmonised by Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) (Ancient & Modern – 669)
Collect Almighty and everlasting God, increase in us your gift of faith that, forsaking what lies behind and reaching out to that which is before, we may run the way of your commandments and win the crown of everlasting joy; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

First Reading – Isaiah 45.1-7** Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped to subdue nations before him and strip kings of their robes, to open doors before him – and the gates shall not be closed: I will go before you and level the mountains, I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut through the bars of iron, I will give you the treasures of darkness and riches hidden in secret places, so that you may know that it is I, the LORD, the God of Israel, who call you by your name. For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my chosen, I call you by your name, I surname you, though you do not know me. I am the LORD, and there is no other; besides me there is no god. I arm you, though you do not know me, 6so that they may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is no one besides me; I am the LORD, and there is no other. I form light and create darkness, I make weal and create woe; I the LORD do all these things.
Second Reading – 1 Thessalonians 1.1-10* Paul, Silas and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you. We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers. We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labour prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake. You became imitators of us and of the Lord; in spite of severe suffering, you welcomed the message with the joy given by the Holy Spirit. And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. The Lord’s message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia – your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it, for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead – Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.
Gospel – Matthew 22.15-22 When the chief priests and Pharisees had heard the parables, they realized that Jesus was speaking about them. Then the Pharisees went and plotted to entrap him in what he said. So they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, ‘Teacher, we know that you are sincere, and teach the way of God in accordance with truth, and show deference to no one; for you do not regard people with partiality. Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to the emperor, or not?’ But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, ‘Why are you putting me to the test, you hypocrites? Show me the coin used for the tax.’ And they brought him a denarius. Then he said to them, ‘Whose head is this, and whose title?’ They answered, ‘The emperor’s.’ Then he said to them, ‘Give therefore to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.’ When they heard this, they were amazed; and they left him and went away.

Hymn after the Sermon** 1. The love of God comes close where stands an open door to let the stranger in, to mingle rich and poor.
3. The joy of God comes close where faith encounters fears, where heights and depths of life are found through smiles and tears.
The love of God is here to stay, embracing those who walk his way.
The joy of God …
2. The peace of God comes close to those caught in the storm, foregoing lives of ease to ease the lives forlorn. The peace of God …
4. The grace of God comes close to those who grace is spent, when hearts are tired or sore and hope is bruised and bent. The grace of God … 5. The Son of God comes close where people praise his name, where bread and wine are blest and shared as when he came. The Son of God … Words & Music: John L Bell & Graham Maule © 1989, 1996 WGRG, Iona Community (The Source – 1533)
Offertory Hymn** 1. Name of all majesty, fathomless mystery, King of all ages by angels adored; power and authority, splendour and dignity, bow to his mastery, Jesus is Lord!
3. Saviour of Calvary, costliest victory, darkness defeated and Eden restored; born as a man to die, nailed to a cross on high. cold in the grave to lie, Jesus is Lord!
2. Child of our destiny, God from eternity, love of the Father on sinners outpoured; see now what God has done sending his only Son, Christ the beloved One, Jesus is Lord!
4. Source of all sovereignty, light, immortality, life everlasting and heaven assured; so with the ransomed, we praise him eternally, Christ in his majesty, Jesus is Lord! Words: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b 1926) Music: Majestas, Michael Baughen (b 1930) arr Noel Tredinnick (b 1949) © Timothy Dudley-Smith (Ancient & Modern – 736)

Final Hymn** 1. Let us build a house where love can dwell and all can safely live, a place where saints and children tell how hearts learn to forgive. Built of hopes and dreams and visions, rock of faith and vault of grace; here the love of Christ shall end divisions: All are welcome, all are welcome all are welcome in this place 2. Let us build a house where prophets speak and words are strong and true, where all God’s children dare to seek to dream God’s reign anew. Here the cross shall stand as witness and as symbol of God’s grace; here as one we claim the faith of Jesus.
3. Let us build a house where love is found in water, wine and wheat: a banquet hall on holy ground where peace and justice meet. Here the love of God, through Jesus, is revealed in time and space; as we share in Christ the feast that frees us 4. Let us build a house where hands will reach beyond the wood and stone to heal and strengthen, serve and teach, and live the Word they’ve known. Here the outcast and the stranger bear the image of God’s face; let us bring an end to fear and danger: 5. Let us build a house where all are named their songs and visions heard and loved and treasured, taught and claimed, as words within the Word. Build of tears and cries and laughter, prayers of faith and songs of grace, let this house proclaim from floor to rafter Words & Music: Marty Haugen (b 1950) © 1994 GIA Publications Inc (Ancient & Modern – 365)
Post Communion Prayer* We praise and thank you, O Christ, for this sacred feast: for here we receive you, here the memory of your passion is renewed, here our minds are filled with grace, and here a pledge of future glory is given, when we shall feast at that table where you reign with all your saints for ever. Amen.
