With Moses, Jesus, Peter and Paul
let us affirm our faith:
Hear, O Israel,
the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Love the Lord your God
with all your heart,
with all your soul,
with all your mind,
and with all your strength.
This is the first and the great commandment.
The second is like it:
Love your neighbour as yourself.
There is no commandment greater than these.

The Prayers of the People
Confession and Absolution
Let us remember before God our selfish ways, the things we have done wrong, the sorrows we have caused, the love we have not shown.
Most merciful Father,
forgive our sins against you
and against one another.
Strengthen us to overcome our weaknesses,
that we may live in love
as you would have us live,
for the sake of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.

O God of our ancestors,

We ask this in Christ’s name. Amen.

Thanks be to God.

Redeeming Sustainer,
visit your people
and pour out your strength and courage upon us,
that we may hurry to make you welcome
not only in our concern for others, but by serving them
generously and faithfully in your name. Amen.
Glory to God,
whose power, working in us,
can do infinitely more
than we can ask or imagine.
Glory to God from generation to generation,
in the Church and in Christ Jesus,
for ever and ever. Amen.
