We have also been using a Kyrie litany for 'confession'. The text is taken from the Church of England's Common Worship but is influenced by Roman Catholic texts.
In August we shall be making some changes in several key elements. Keep an eye out!

The Presider greets the Community.

May your loving mercy come upon us, Lord,
and your salvation according to your word.
Lord, have mercy.

Your word is a lantern to our feet
and a light to our path.
Christ, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Let your mercy come upon us so that we may live,
for your law is our delight.
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy. [i]

God of all healing and forgiveness,
draw us to yourself
and cleanse us from all our sins
that we may behold the glory of your Son,
the Word made flesh, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen. [ii]
Let us now praise the God

Collect of the Day
Let us pray.
Father in heaven,
in your goodness
you pour out on your people all
that they need
and satisfy those who persist
in prayer.
Make us bold in asking,
thankful in receiving,
tireless in seeking and joyful
in finding,
so that we may always proclaim
your coming kingdom
and do your will on earth as in
heaven. Amen. [iii]
The Proclamation of the Word of God
First Reading
A Reading from Genesis (18.20-32).
Then the Lord said,
“How great is the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah and how very grave their
sin! I must go down and see whether they
have done altogether according to the outcry that has come to me; and if not, I
will know.”
So
the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, while Abraham remained
standing before the Lord. Then Abraham came
near and said, “Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Suppose there are fifty righteous within the
city; will you then sweep away the place and not forgive it for the fifty
righteous who are in it? Far be it from
you to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the
righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that
from you! Shall not the Judge of all the
earth do what is just?” And the Lord said,
“If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will forgive the whole place
for their sake.” Abraham answered, “Let
me take it upon myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes. Suppose five of the fifty righteous are
lacking? Will you destroy the whole city
for lack of five?” And he said, “I will
not destroy it if I find forty- five there.”
Again he spoke to him, “Suppose forty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of forty I will
not do it.” Then he said, “Oh do not let
the Lord
be angry if I speak. Suppose thirty are
found there.” He answered, “I will not
do it, if I find thirty there.” He said,
“Let me take it upon myself to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of twenty I will
not destroy it.” Then he said, “Oh do
not let the Lord
be angry if I speak just once more.
Suppose ten are found there.” He
answered, “For the sake of ten I will not destroy it.”
Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church.
Thanks be to God.
The Psalm
Psalm 138 with the Refrain from Songs for the Holy One
Refrain (sung
twice)
I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with my whole heart; *
before the gods I will sing your
praise.
I will bow down toward your holy temple and
praise your name, *
because
of your love and faithfulness; *
for you have
glorified your name *
and your word above all things.
When I called, you answered me; *
you
increased my strength within me.
All the
rulers of the earth will praise you, O Lord, *
when
they have heard the words of your mouth.
Refrain
They will sing of the ways of the Lord, *
that great is the glory of the Lord.
Though you are high, you care for the lowly;
*
you
perceive the haughty from afar.
Though I walk
in the midst of trouble, you keep me safe; *
you stretch forth your hand against
the fury of my enemies;
your strong hand shall save me.
You, O Lord, will make good your purpose for
me; *
your
love endures for ever;
do
not abandon the works of your hands.
Refrain
The Second Reading
A Reading
from the Letter to the Colossians (2.6-15)
As you therefore have received
Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up
in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in
thanksgiving.
See to it that no one takes you
captive through philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition,
according to the elemental spirits of the universe, and not according to
Christ. For in him the whole fullness of
deity dwells bodily, and you have come to fullness in him, who is the head of
every ruler and authority. In him also
you were circumcised with a spiritual circumcision, by putting off the body of
the flesh in the circumcision of Christ; when you were buried with him in
baptism, you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who
raised him from the dead. And when you
were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you
alive together with him, when he forgave us all our trespasses, erasing the
record that stood against us with its legal demands. He set this aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and
made a public example of them, triumphing over them in it.
Hear what the
Spirit is saying to the Church.
Thanks be to God.

The Gospel
The Lord be
with you.
And also with you.
The Holy
Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke (10.38-42)
Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
[Jesus] was praying in a certain place,
and after he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to
pray, as John taught his disciples.”
He
said to them, “When you pray, say:
Father, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come. Give us each
day our daily bread. And forgive us our
sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us. And do not bring us to the time of trial.”
And he said to them, “Suppose one of
you has a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend
me three loaves of bread; for a friend of mine has arrived, and I have nothing
to set before him. ’ And he answers from
within, ‘Do not bother me; the door has already been locked, and my children
are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything. ’ I tell you, even though he will not get up
and give him anything because he is his friend, at least because of his
persistence he will get up and give him whatever he needs.
“So
I say to you, Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock,
and the door will be opened for you. For
everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone
who knocks, the door will be opened. Is
there anyone among you who, if your child asks for a fish, will give a snake
instead of a fish? Or if the child asks
for an egg, will give a scorpion? If you
then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more
will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.”
The Gospel of
Christ.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
The Sermon

Faith

God, the Lord is one.
Love the Lord your God
with all your heart,
with all your soul,
with all your mind,

Love your neighbour as yourself.
There is no commandment greater than these.

The Prayer over
the Gifts
Let us pray.
Blessed are
you, O God, maker of all things.
Through your goodness you have blessed us
with these gifts:
ourselves, our time and our possessions.
Use us and what we have gathered
in feeding the world with your love,
through the one who gave himself for us,
Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord. Amen. [iv]
The Thanksgiving
at the Table
The Lord be
with you.
And also with you.
Lift up your
hearts.
We lift them to the Lord.
Let us give
thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give our thanks and praise.
Blessed are
you, gracious God,
creator of
heaven and earth;
you are the
source of light and life for all your creation,
you made us
in your own image,
and call us
to new life in Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Therefore we
praise you,
joining our
voices to proclaim the glory of your name.
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of
power and might.
Heaven and earth are full of
your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the
name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest. [v]
Holy, mighty and merciful Lord,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
In great love you sent us Jesus, your Son,
who reached out to heal the sick and suffering,
who preached good news to the poor
and who, on the cross, opened his arms to all.
In the night in which he was betrayed,
our Lord Jesus took bread and gave thanks;
broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying:
Take and eat; this is my body given for you.
Do this for the remembrance of me.
Again, after supper, he took the cup,
gave thanks and gave it for all to drink, saying:
This cup is the new covenant in my blood,
shed for you and for all people for the forgiveness of sin.
Do this for the remembrance of me.
Remembering, therefore, his death, resurrection and ascension,
we await his coming in glory.
Pour out upon us the Spirit of your love, O Lord,
and unite the wills of all who share this heavenly food,
the body and blood of Jesus Christ our Lord;
to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit,
be all glory and honour, now and for ever. Amen.
[vi]
The Lord’s Prayer
As our Saviour taught us, let us pray,
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against
us.
Save us from the time of trial,
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours,
now and for ever. Amen. [vii]
The Breaking of the
Bread
You gave your
people angels’ food
and sent us
bread from heaven,
so that we might learn, O God,
that not by various crops are we fed,
but it is your word which sustains
all those who trust in you. [viii]
The gifts of God for the people of God.
Thanks be to God.
