Welcome
O Lord God, enliven and preserve your church with your perpetual mercy. Without your help, we mortals will fail; remove far from us everything that is harmful, and lead us toward all that gives life and salvation, through Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord. Amen
Call to Worship
CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS
Blessed be the holy Trinity, one God,
who creates, redeems, and sustains us and all of creation. Amen. Let us confess our sin in the presence of God and of one another. Silence is kept for reflection |
Faithful God,
Have mercy on us. We confess that we are captive to sin and cannot free ourselves. We turn from your loving embrace and go our own ways. We pass judgement on one another before examining ourselves. We place our own needs before those of our neighbours. We keep your gift of salvation to ourselves. Make us humble, cast away our transgressions, and turn us again to life in you through Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord. Amen. |
God hears the cries of all who call out in need,
and through his death and resurrection, Christ has made us his own. Hear the truth that God proclaims: Your sins are forgiven in the name of Jesus Christ. Led by the Holy Spirit, live in freedom and newness to do God’s work in the world. Amen. |

PRAYERS & Blessing
The 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.

Dear Glory Family,
After much anticipation, lots of prayers and work, we are excited to launch our fundraising campaign - “Fulfilling God’s Vision for our Land: The Next Chapter” - a chapter of expanded ministry to our church family and the local and worldwide communities.
Since our earliest days as a congregation, God has blessed us richly – a place to worship in a beautiful setting, a church family that thrives on joy, a community with both roots and wings. We come from different backgrounds and experiences but find our common ground in our identity in Jesus and the family of faith He has woven us into – Reaching Up…Reaching Out…Reaching In.
You have probably received a package in the mail by now. Please use this to prayerfully consider your financial contribution toward the purchase of the land. You will find this material and much more on the website under the menu item "Land Purchase". Check in often to follow our progress!

Sending Song
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love; Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee, Opening to the sun above. Thou art giving and forgiving, Ever blessing, ever blest, Wellspring of the joy of living, Ocean depth of happy rest! Thou our Father, Christ our Brother, All who live in love are Thine; Teach us how to love each other, Lift us to the joy divine. |
Mortals, join the happy chorus,
Which the morning stars began; Father love is reigning o’er us, Brother love binds man to man. Ever singing, march we onward, Victors in the midst of strife, Joyful music leads us Sunward In the triumph song of life. |
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love; Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee, Opening to the sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; Drive the dark of doubt away; Giver of immortal gladness, Fill us with the light of day! |
