Parish Notices
Sunday February 5, 2012
The service begins at the back of church. Please bring your candle, this paper and a hymn book with you. After the opening prayers, we make our way to our seats singing the first hymn 711.
God of all mercy,
your Son proclaimed good news to the poor,
release to the captives,
and freedom to the oppressed:
anoint us with your Holy Spirit
and set all your people free
to praise you in Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
The prophets points to a forerunner, pointing the way to the Saviour. For Christians, this is seen in many people: the Magi, John the Baptist and, on this wonderful feast, in Anna and Simeon. Can be see the light in your life?
The Lord of hosts, he is the king of glory.
ALLELUIA! ALLELUIA! ALLELUIA! ALLELUIA!
Lord, let your servant go in peace:
your word has been fulfilled.
ALLELUIA! ALLELUIA! ALLELUIA! ALLELUIA!
The gospel story continues: Jesus has been recognised and acclaimed by angels and people, by rich and poor, by male and female, by religious and non-religious. If all these recognise Jesus as Lord, what about those among whom we live? Should be we doing something to let them know?
