Opening Verse: (Rev. Roy Shepherd)
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.
Isaiah 6:3
We love the place, O God,
Wherein thine honour dwells;
The joy of thine abode
All earthly joy excels.
We love the word of life;
The word that tells of peace,
Of comfort in the strife
And joys that never cease.
Lord Jesus, give us grace
On earth to love thee more,
In heaven to see thy face,
And with thy saints adore.
We love the sacred font;
for there the holy Dove
to pour is ever wont
his blessing from above.

A Reading from the Book of Genesis: (Philip Isaacson)

Genesis 1:1-4, 24, 25b, 26a, 27-28, 31a; 2:1-2a, 3
In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.
And God said, ‘Let the earth bring forth living creatures of every kind: cattle and creeping things and wild animals of the earth of every kind.’ And it was so. God made the wild animals of the earth of every kind, and the cattle of every kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground of every kind. And God saw that it was good.
Then God said, ‘Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.’
So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them, and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.’ God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their multitude. And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done. So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Psalm 8 (Carole Mallet)

O Lord our governor, how exalted is your name in all the world!
Out of the mouths of infants and children your majesty is praised above the heavens.
You have set up a stronghold against your adversaries, to quell the enemy and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars you have set in their courses,
What is man that you should be mindful of him? the son of man that you should seek him out?
You have made him but little lower than the angels; you adorn him with glory and honour;
You give him mastery over the works of your hands; you put all things under his feet;
All sheep and oxen, even the wild beasts of the field,
The birds of the air, the fish of the sea, and whatsoever walks in the paths of the sea.
O Lord our governor, how exalted is your name in all the world!
A Reading from the Second Letter of Paul to the Corinthians: (Brian Carr)
2 Corinthians 13:11-13
Finally, brothers and sisters, farewell. Put things in order, listen to my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Hymn: Majesty, Worship His Majesty
Majesty, worship his majesty,
Unto Jesus be all honour, glory and praise.
Majesty, kingdom authority
Flow from his throne
unto his own,
his anthem raise.
So exalt, lift up on high the name of Jesus;
Magnify, come, glorify Christ Jesus the King.
Majesty, worship his majesty;
Jesus who died,
now glorified,
King of all kings.

People Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
Deacon The Gospel of Christ.
People Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Hymn: Lord the Light of your Love is Shining (CP 460)
Lord, the light of your love is shining,
In the midst of the darkness shining;
Jesus, Light of the World, shine upon us;
Set us free by the truth you now bring us,
Shine on me, shine on me.
Refrain:
Shine, Jesus, shine; fill this land with the Father’s glory,
Blaze, Spirit, blaze; set our hearts on fire.
Flow, river, flow; flood the nations with grace and mercy;
Send forth your word, Lord and let there be light.
Lord, I come to your awesome presence,
From the shadows into your radiance;
By the blood I may enter your brightness;
Search me, try me, consume all my darkness;
Shine on me, shine on me.
(Refrain)
As we gaze on your kingly brightness
So our faces display your likeness;
Ever changing from glory to glory,
Mirrored here may our lives tell your story,
Shine on me, shine on me.
(Refrain)
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.
Prayers of the People: (Beverly Baird)
Press the play button to start the audio recording (make sure your volume is turned on!).
God in three persons, blessed Trinity, on this special day, we come before you to offer our praise and adoration. You are God, the Creator, giving us richly all things to enjoy. You are Christ the Saviour of the world, made flesh to set us free. You are the Spirit of truth and love, willing to dwell in us. You are the holy and blessed one God, eternal Trinity. As we join in prayer today amidst a global pandemic and social unrest around the world, let our response be: Lord of love and compassion, hear our prayer.
We pray for the church, our bishops, Linda, Andrew and Kevin, and our clergy, Pam, Roy and Jacquie. Give courage and wisdom to all leaders in your church that they may provide the compassionate pastoral care and support needed by so many in our community in these uncertain times. Lord of love and compassion, hear our prayer.
O Lord, open our hearts to respect and uplift the dignity of every person, regardless of race, colour or creed. Open our ears to listen and learn from the experiences of others. Open our mouths to speak out against prejudice and injustice. Lord of love and compassion, hear our prayer.
O Lord, sustain and protect all health care workers, doctors, researchers and all medical professionals who seek to heal and help those affected by the pandemic and who have put themselves at risk to save the lives of others. Lord of love and compassion, hear our prayer.
O Lord, be with the leaders of all nations. Give them the foresight to act with charity and true concern for the well-being of the people they are meant to serve. Give them the wisdom to invest in long-term solutions that will help prepare for or prevent future outbreaks. Lord of love and compassion, hear our prayer.
We pray for our family and friends, those far away and those close by, who are estranged from us and those on whom we depend daily. In these days of physical distancing, keep us close together through all the means of communication that we have today. We thank you for the members of our parish who strive each week to make possible this virtual church service to help us worship together until we can return to our parish home. Lord of love and compassion, hear our prayer.
O Lord, be with the families of those who are sick or have died and those needing our prayers whom we have in this time of silence -----------. Let your healing spirit ease their suffering and give them strength to face the long days ahead. Lord of love and compassion, hear our prayer.
Spirit of Truth and Love, move in us and among us as we face the week ahead trusting in your abiding love and protection. Amen.

Let us confess our sins, confident in God’s forgiveness.
Silence is kept.
Celebrant
Most merciful God,
All
we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us,
that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your name. Amen.

All
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

in the Church and in Christ Jesus,
for ever and ever. Amen.
