This blog gives you a glimpse into the upcoming Sunday Gathering. It's an opportunity to read through the passage we'll be studying together, pray through some of the liturgy we'll be using, and listen to a selection of the songs we’ll be singing.


How We Work

SERMON

This week Gary Aston will be preaching the last in our series "Working in God's World" on "How We Work" in light of the gospel from a selection of Bible passages including 1 Corinthians 7:17-24.

LITURGY

Call To Worship

You have searched us, Lord, and you know us. You know when we sit and when we rise; you perceive our thoughts from afar. You discern our going out and our lying down; you are familiar with all our ways. 

Before a word is on our tongues you know it completely. You hem us in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon us. 

There is nowhere we can go from your Spirit nor can we flee from your presence. If we go up to the heavens, you are there; if we make our bed in the depths you are there. 

For you created our inmost beings; you knit us together in our mother’s wombs. We praise you because we are fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful.                              (Based on Psalm 139:1-14)  

MUSIC

  • Cornerstone (Hillsong): A song reflecting on the wonderful truth of Christ as our Cornerstone. A reminder that our hope and trust should always be built on Jesus and His work for us on the cross. 

  • Be Thou My Vision (Ascend the Hill Arrangement): A plea that Christ would be our everything, in all circumstances and all situations.
