Welcome & Introduction

Opening Prayer

Reading – All Things Bright And Beautiful

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours,
He made their tiny wings.

The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.

The purple headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning,
That brightens up the sky.

He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God almighty,
Who has made all things well.

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful
The Lord God made them all.

Bible Reading – 1 Corinthians 1-8a, 13

Words of Reflection

Prayer of Thanks Giving

Hymn The Lord’s My Shepherd

The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want,
He makes me down to lie,
in pastures green, He leadeth me,
the quiet waters by.

My soul He doth restore again,
and me to walk doth make,
within the paths of righteousness,
e’en for His own name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,
yet will I fear no ill,
for Thou art with me, and Thy rod
and staff me comfort still.

My table Thou hast furnished
in presence of my foes,
my head Thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.

Goodness and mercy all my life,
shall surely follow me,
and in God’s house for evermore
my dwelling-place shall be.
