Each month St. Andrew's holds a service especially for families and children. Sometimes chaotic, usually fun, it includes specially chosen hymns, readings and activities designed to appeal to children of all ages.
So, the next time your kids wake you up early on a Sunday morning demanding to be entertained, why not come along, join in and try something a little different?
Let us worship God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Amen
The Lord be with you
And also with you
This is the day that the Lord has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Lord, direct our thoughts, and teach us to pray.
Lift up our hearts to worship you in spirit and in
truth, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
We light this candle to remind us that the love of God is like a light in our darkness.
Blessed be God for ever.
God our Father, we come to you in sorrow for our sins.
For turning away from you, and ignoring your will for our lives;
Father, forgive us:
Save us and help us
For behaving just as we wish, without thinking of you;
Father, forgive us:
Save us and help us
For failing you by what we do and think and say;
Father, forgive us:
Save us and help us
For letting ourselves be drawn away from you by temptations in the world about us;
Father, forgive us:
Save us and help us
For living as if we were ashamed to belong to your Son;
Father, forgive us:
Save us and help us
The almighty and merciful Lord grant us pardon and forgiveness of all our sins, time for amendment of life, and the grace and strength of the Holy Spirit. Amen
Blessed is the Lord
For he has heard the voice of our prayer;
Therefore shall our hearts dance for joy
And in our song we will praise our God.
Let us declare our faith in God.
Do you believe and trust in God the Father, source of all being and life, the one for whom we exist?
We believe and trust in him.
Do you believe and trust in God the Son, who took our human nature, died for us and rose again?
We believe and trust in him.
Do you believe and trust in God the Holy Spirit, who gives life to the people of God and makes Christ known in the world?
We believe and trust in him.
This is the faith of the Church
This is our faith.
We believe and trust in one God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Amen
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
Let us bless the Lord:
Thanks be to God.
Blessing and honour and glory be yours, here and everywhere, now and for ever.
Amen
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord
In the name of Christ. Amen.
