This Sunday, 28 June, is the Fourth Sunday after Trinity. There are services of Holy Communion at 9:30am in St Bartholomew, Burstow, at 10am in St Mary the Virgin, Horne and at 11am in St John the Baptist, Outwood.
This week’s online service is led by Revd Steve Bishop.
God our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come;
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home.
Beneath the shadow of thy wings
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defence is sure.
Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame.
from everlasting thou art God,
through endless years the same.
A thousand ages in thy sight
are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
Time like an ever-rolling stream
will bear us all away;
we fade and vanish, as a dream
dies at the opening day.
O God our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come;
be thou our guide while troubles last,
and our eternal home.
Isaac Watts (1674-1748)
Tune: St Anne, William Croft (1678-1727)
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
This is the day that the Lord has made.
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Introductiom
Confession
Almighty God, our heavenly Father,
we have sinned against you and against our neighbour,
in thought and word and deed,
through negligence, through weakness,
through our own deliberate fault.
We are truly sorry,
and repent of all our sins.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, who died for us,
forgive us all that is past;
and grant that we may serve you in newness of life
to the glory of your name. Amen.
Absolution
Almighty God, have mercy upon you,
pardon and deliver you from all your sins,
confirm and strengthen you in all goodness,
and keep you in life eternal,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Collect for the Fourth Sunday after Trinity
O God, the protector of all who trust in you,
without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy:
increase and multiply upon us your mercy;
that with you as our ruler and guide
we may so pass through things temporal
that we lose not our hold on things eternal;
grant this heavenly Father,
for our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

The Peace
Peace to you from God who is our father;
peace from Jesus Christ who is our peace;
peace from the Holy Spirit who gives us life;
the peace of the triune God be always with you.
Let us offer one another a sign of peace.
Lord, everything in heaven and earth is yours.
All things come from you and of your own do we give you.
Lord’s Prayer
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.
Eternal God,
the light of the minds that know you,
the joy of the hearts that love you,
and the strength of the wills that serve you:
grant us so to know you that we may truly love you,
so to love you that we may truly serve you,
whose service is perfect freedom;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Lord Jesus, give us your light in our eyes,
your word on our lips,
and your love in our hearts.
Send us out in the power of your Spirit
to live and work to your praise and glory.
Amen.
Blessing
The Lord bless you and watch over you,
the Lord make his face to shine upon you
and be gracious to you,
the Lord look kindly on you and give you peace.
The blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, be amongst you an remain with you this day and always.
Amen.
Go in peace to love and to serve the Lord.
In the name of Christ. Amen.
O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds thy hand has made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed.
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art, how great thou art.
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art, how great thou art.
When through the woods and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,
And hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art, how great thou art.
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art, how great thou art.
And when I think that God, his Son not sparing,
Sent him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art, how great thou art.
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art, how great thou art.
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart;
Then I shall bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim: My God, how great thou art.
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art, how great thou art.
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art, how great thou art.
