Amen. First Reading Acts 17: 22-31 Eleanor Williams Psalm 66: 7-18
O praise our ' God ye ' people and make the ' voice of his ' praise to be ' heard; Who holdeth our ' soul in ' life: and suffereth ' not our ' feet to ' slip. (2nd part) For thou O ' God hast ' proved us: thou also hast tried us ' like as ' silver is ' tried. Thou broughtest us ' into the ' snare: and laidest ' trouble up'on our ' loins. Thou sufferedst men to ride ' over our ' heads: we went through fire and water, and thou broughtest us out ' into a ' wealthy ' place. I will go into thine house with ' burnt 'offerings: and will pay thee my vows, which I promised with my lips and spake with my mouth ' when I ' was in ' trouble. I will offer unto thee fat burnt-sacrifices, with the ' incense of ' rams: I will ' offer ' bullocks and ' goats. O come hither and hearken, all ye that ' fear ' God: and I will tell you what ' he hath ' done for my ' soul. I called unto him ' with my ' mouth: and gave him ' praises ' with my ' tongue. If I incline unto wickedness ' with mine ' heart: the ' Lord ' will not ' hear me. But ' God hath ' heard me: and con'sidered the ' voice of my ' prayer. Praised be God who hath not cast ' out my ' prayer: nor ' turned his 'mercy ' from me. Glory be to the Father and ' to the ' Son: and ' to the ' Holy ' Ghost. As it was in the beginning is now and ' ever ' shall be: world without ' end ' A'men Second Reading 1 Peter 3: 13-22 Ian Laurenson Gradual Hymn 536 O God of Bethel, by whose hand Gospel Reading John 14: 15-21 Rona Nussey Sermon Michael Paterson see separate (blue) sheet Intercessions Ian Williams Offertory Hymn 538 O Jesus, I have promised All are invited to receive Communion.
