PSALM 29
Give glory and honour and power and authority
to the name of the LORD,
all you children of God!
Worship the LORD in holy awe;
bow down in the overwhelming presence of our God.
Listen to the presence of the LORD over the waters;
hear the majesty of the name of the LORD;
its power and authority above the roar of the flood.
Cedar panels in the Temple splinter at the voice of the LORD,
lightning flashes rip open the sky;
animals give birth before their time, and the earth trembles.
A shout of “Glory!” rises to the LORD
enthroned in splendour:
“Give protection and blessing and life for ever”.
CALL TO WORSHIP
Give glory and honour and power and authority
to the name of the LORD,
all you children of God!
Worship the LORD in holy awe;
bow down in the overwhelming presence of our God.
BEFORE THE READINGS
Listen to the presence of the LORD over the waters;
hear the majesty of the name of the LORD;
its power and authority above the roar of the flood.
Cedar panels in the Temple splinter at the voice of the LORD,
lightning flashes rip open the sky;
animals give birth before their time, and the earth trembles.
AFTER THE READINGS
A shout of “Glory!” rises to the LORD
enthroned in splendour,
the LORD give protection and blessing and life for ever.
OFFERING
Generous God,
Source of life, Word of life, Breath of life,
you call us to make real
the sharing of the gifts you have given us.
Use the offerings of our hearts and our hands
in the care of your realm. Amen.
A CREATIVE MOMENT – Isaiah 6:1-8
Introduce the reading of this lection with dramatic, loud music, maybe with lots of percussion and trumpets – and a smoke machine for good effect!
THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE
(A prayer to gather the spoken and silent concerns/joys/thanks expressed by the congregation and lead into a more structured Intercession with connection to the lections for the day. Sometimes this prayer will borrow lightly from other sources e.g. Uniting in Worship 2 or publications of the Iona Community.)
Holy, holy, holy are you,
Source of life,
Word of life,
Breath of life.
Send us
to warm the lives of those we name
on our unclean lips and in the silence of our hearts.
Send us
to celebrate with those open to your abundance.
Send us
to bring comfort to those among us and around us who are hurting.
Send us
to encourage those for whom the light of life
shines less brightly…
