Opening Hymn: King of Glory, King of Peace (CP 345)
King of glory, King of peace
I will love Thee.
and that love may never cease,
I will move Thee.
Thou hast granted my request,
Thou hast heard me.
Thou didst note my working breast,
Thou hast spared me.
Wherefore with my utmost art,
I will sing Thee.
And the cream of all my heart,
I will bring Thee.
Though my sins against me cried,
Thou didst clear me;
and alone when they replied,
Thou didst hear me.
Seven whole days, not one in seven,
I will praise Thee;
In my heart, though not in heaven,
I can raise Thee.
Small it is in this poor sort
to enrol Thee.
E'en eternity's too short
to extol Thee.
​
Collect: (Rev. Pam Trondson)

in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. AMEN.

Exodus 19:2-8a
They had journeyed from Rephidim, entered the wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness; Israel camped there in front of the mountain. Then Moses went up to God; the Lord called to him from the mountain, saying, ‘Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the Israelites: You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. Now therefore, if you obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession out of all the peoples. Indeed, the whole earth is mine, but you shall be for me a priestly kingdom and a holy nation. These are the words that you shall speak to the Israelites.’ So Moses came, summoned the elders of the people, and set before them all these words that the Lord had commanded him. The people all answered as one: ‘Everything that the Lord has spoken we will do.’
​
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
​
Psalm 116: 1-2, 12-19 (Carole Mallet)
​
Press the play button to start the audio recording (make sure your volume is turned on!).
I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my supplications.
Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
What shall I return to the Lord for all his bounty to me?
I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord,
I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful ones.
O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, the child of your serving-maid.
You have loosed my bonds.
I will offer to you a thanksgiving sacrifice and call on the name of the Lord.
I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people,
in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord!

Romans 5:1-5
Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
​
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Hymn: Amazing Grace (Leonora Benjamin and Bill Wilkins, v4 Piano solo) (CP352)
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me Home.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun.

People Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
​
Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest." Then Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every sickness. These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him. These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: "Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, proclaim the good news, 'The kingdom of heaven has come near.' Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. You received without payment; give without payment.
​
Deacon The Gospel of Christ.
People Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

​
Apostles' Creed: (Rev. Pam Trondson)
​
Celebrant
Let us confess the faith of our baptism, as we say,
All
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Open our hearts, and the hearts of all in positions of authority and leadership to acknowledge and speak out against racist attitudes, behaviors, and speech which demean others. Open our ears to hear the cries of those wounded by racial discrimination, and their passionate appeals for change.

And fill us with courage that we might seek to heal wounds, build bridges, forgive and be forgiven, and establish peace and equality for all in our communities. God of life and love, hear our prayer.
For all who have experienced violence, that God will protect them from further harm, right the injustices that have occurred and bring healing and hope. God of life and love, hear our prayer.

All these our petitions we bring before you this day, dear Father, in the power of your Spirit. Receive our prayers and grant all that is in accordance with your will, for the sake of your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

Closing Hymn: To God be the Glory (CP 371)
To God be the glory, who great things has done!
God so loved the world, freely sending the Son,
Who yielded his life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life-gate that all may go in.
Refrain:
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Let the earth hear God’s voice.
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son,
And give God the glory, who great things has done!
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
To every believer the promise of God:
That when the offender, repenting, believes,
Through Jesus’ atonement, God’s pardon receives. Refrain
Great things God has taught us, great things God has done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer and higher and greater will be
Our wonder, our gladness, when Jesus we see! Refrain
​
