Psalm 96
Sing to the LORD a new song,
sing to the LORD all the earth;
bless the name of the LORD,
tell of God’s saving acts day after day!
Proclaim the greatness of the LORD around the world;
recount God’s marvellous works to all the peoples.
The LORD is great and greatly to be praised;
to be held in holy awe above all other gods.
For all the gods we make are good for nothing;
it is the LORD who made the heavens.
Honour and majesty are before our God;
strength and beauty are in God’s holy place.
Honour and majesty are before our God;
strength and beauty are in God’s holy place.
Say of the LORD, all you families of the peoples;
say of the LORD, “Glory and strength”.
give to the LORD the glory due God’s name,
bring an offering and come into the courts of the LORD.
Bow down before the LORD in holy splendour
tremble before the LORD, all the earth.
Say among the nations: The LORD is king!
The world is set firm, immovable;
God will judge the peoples justly.
Let the cosmos be glad, let the earth rejoice;
let the sea roar, and all that is in it.
Let pasture, stock and crop shout;
then all the trees of the scrubland will sing for joy before the LORD,
for the LORD is coming, coming to judge the earth.
The LORD God will rule the earth with justice,
and all the peoples with faithfulness.
OFFERING
Healing One,
generous in love
and forever faithful,
we bring an offering;
our time, talent, and treasure.
With the help of the gracious One
may these gifts be used
with wisdom and justice
in the church and its mission
in the name of the Risen one. Amen.

A CREATIVE MOMENT – Luke 7:1-10
Drape a length of white cloth, e.g. a bedsheet or longer, from the worship centre/communion table onto the floor. Not simply a reminder of the empty grave cloths found in the in the empty Easter tomb, but of renewed life in this reading and next Sunday’s also. Other symbols of healing could be placed with the cloth.
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 borrows lightly from other sources e.g. Uniting in Worship 2 or publications of the Iona Community.)
Holy and mysterious God,
as Elijah found you in earth, fire, air and water,
so may we find you beside us and within.
Hear our prayers for all that concerns us.
May the light of your Word and the warmth of your Spirit
comfort and encourage,
today and in the days to come,
those whom we name on our lips
and in the silence of our hearts.
In Jesus’ name we pray…
(The Prayers of the People continue)
