Blessèd are you, Sovereign God, creator of all;
To you be glory and praise for ever!
You founded the earth in the beginning
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
As we rejoice in the gift of your presence among us,
let the light of your love always shine in our hearts
and your praises ever be on our lips,
Creator, Redeemer, and Giver of Life:
Blessèd be God for ever!
Amen.
Old Testament Reading - Leave your own country
1God had told Abram, “Leave your own country behind you, and your own people, and go to the land I will guide you to. 2If you do, I will cause you to become the father of a great nation; I will bless you and make your name famous, and you will be a blessing to many others.a 3I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and the entire world will be blessed because of you.”b
4So Abram departed as the Lord had instructed him, and Lot went too; Abram was seventy-five years old at that time.
. . . . .Genesis 12:1-4- Or “I will make your name so famous that it will be used to pronounce blessings on others.”
- Or “the nations will bless themselves because of you.”
Confession
Almighty and merciful God,
we have sinned against you,
in thought, word and deed.
We have not loved you with all our heart.
We have not loved others
as our Saviour Christ loves us.
We are truly sorry.
In your mercy forgive what we have been,
help us to amend what we are,
and direct what we shall be;
that we may delight in your will
and walk in your ways,
through Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Amen.
