Pew News:
Theme:The
Resurrection was Witnessed (Acts 2:32)
We have a gospel to
proclaim,
good news for all
throughout the earth;
the gospel of a
Saviour's name:
we sing His glory,
tell His worth.
Tell of His birth
at Bethlehem,
not in a royal
house or hall
but in a stable
dark and dim:
the Word made
flesh, a light for all.
Tell of His death
at Calvary,
hated by those He
came to save;
in lonely suffering
on the cross
for all He loved,
His life He gave.
Tell of that
glorious Easter morn:
empty the tomb, for
He was free;
He broke the power
of death and hell
that we might share
His victory.
Tell of his reign
at God's right hand,
by all creation
glorified;
he sends his Spirit
on his church
to live for him,
the lamb who died.
Now we rejoice to
name him king,
Jesus is Lord of
all the earth;
this gospel message
we proclaim:
we sing his glory,
tell his worth.

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.

Creeds:
I believe in God,
the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by 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. The third day he
rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand
of God the Father almighty. From there he will come 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.
1) Is Jesus Mad
There is a higher throne
Than all this world has known
Where faithful ones from every tongue
Will one day come
Before the Son we'll stand
Made faultless through the Lamb
Believing hearts find promised grace
Salvation comes
Hear heaven's voices sing
Their thunderous anthem rings
Through emerald courts and sapphire skies
Their praises rise
All glory, wisdom, power
Strength, thanks and honour are
To God our King who reigns on high
For evermore
And there we'll find our home
Our life before the throne
We'll honour Him in perfect song
Where we belong
He'll wipe each tear-stained eye
As thirst and hunger die
The Lamb comes as our Shepherd King
We'll reign with him.

2) Is Jesus Bad?
O church, arise,
and put your armour on;
Hear the call of
Christ our Captain.
For now the weak
can say that they are strong
In the strength
that God has given.
With shield of
faith and belt of truth,
We'll stand against
the devil's lies;
An army bold, whose
battle cry is Love,
Reaching out to
those in darkness.
Our call to war, to
love the captive soul
But to rage against
the captor;
And with the sword
that makes the wounded whole,
We will fight with
faith and valour.
When faced with
trials on every side
We know the outcome
is secure,
And Christ will
have the prize for which He died,
An inheritance of
nations.
Come see the cross,
where love and mercy meet,
As the Son of God
is stricken;
Then see His foes
lie crushed beneath His feet,
For the Conqueror
has risen!
And as the stone is
rolled away,
And Christ emerges
from the grave,
This victory march
continues till the day
Every eye and heart
shall see Him.
So Spirit, come,
put strength in every stride,
Give grace for
every hurdle,
That we may run
with faith to win the prize
Of a servant good
and faithful.
As saints of old
still line the way,
Retelling triumphs
of His grace,
We hear their calls
and hunger for the day
When with Christ we
stand in glory.

3) Is Jesus God?
Prayers:
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. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.
O for a thousand
tongues to sing
My great redeemer's
praise,
The glories of my
God and king,
The triumphs of his
grace!
Jesus - the name
that charms our fears,
That bids our
sorrows cease;
'Tis music in the
sinner's ears,
'Tis life, and
health, and peace.
He breaks the power
of cancelled sin,
He sets the
prisoner free;
His blood can make
the foulest clean,
His blood availed
for me.
He speaks; and,
listening to his voice,
New life the dead
receive;
The mournful,
broken hearts rejoice;
The humble poor
believe.
My gracious Master
and my God,
assist me to
proclaim
and spread through
all the earth abroad
the honours of your
name.

Since we are
surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight
and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race
that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith,
who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross,
disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne
of God. Consider him who endured such hostility against himself from sinners,
so that you may not grow weary or lose heart. Hebrews 12:1-3, NRSV
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord
In the name of Christ. Amen.
