This morning members of our Congregation are sharing in Communion. Printed copies have been circulated and some people are ‘meeting’ on zoom.

Thank you for joining us for this part of our worship, we are glad to be together in praise.


If you are new to watching things on line…..
At each stage in the service there is a triangular play button you will need to click, either in the image of the song or on the left hand side of the black bar.

If you can’t hear check the loudspeaker symbol at the bottom right of your screen on a computer or the buttons on the side of your tablet or phone, and adjust the volume.

There are links to the hymns on YouTube, you may get an advert – you can press skip ad on the right hand side of the video.

If the video continues to another song you can stop it by clicking on or tapping the video screen. If you regularly use YouTube you will also have a button called ‘Autoplay’ probably on the right hand side of the screen (not in the video) make sure that is set to off.

HYMN Mission Praise 954 ‘We are marching in the light of God’

Matthew 4:18-25

Jesus Calls His First Disciples
¹⁸ As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. ¹⁹ “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” ²⁰ At once they left their nets and followed him.
²¹ Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, ²² and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.
Jesus Heals the Sick
²³ Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. ²⁴ News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them. ²⁵ Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.

Galations 5:13-26

Life by the Spirit
¹³ You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. ¹⁴ For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ ¹⁵ If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
¹⁶ So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. ¹⁷ For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. ¹⁸ But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
¹⁹ The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; ²⁰ idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions ²¹ and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. ²⁴ Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. ²⁵ Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. ²⁶ Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

HYMN Mission Praise 1183 Holy Spirit, living Breath of God

Holy Spirit, living breath of God, breathe new life into my willing soul.
Bring the presence of the risen Lord to renew my heart and make me whole.
Cause Your word to come alive in me; give me faith for what I cannot see,
Give me passion for Your purity; Holy Spirit, breathe new life in me.

Holy Spirit, come abide within, may Your joy be seen in all I do.
Love enough to cover every sin in each thought and deed and attitude.
Kindness to the greatest and the least, gentleness that sows the path of peace.
Turn my striving into works of grace, breath of God, show Christ in all I do.

Holy Spirit, from creation’s birth, giving life to all that God has made.
Show Your power once again on earth, cause Your church to hunger for Your ways.
May the fragrance of our prayers arise, lead us on the road of sacrifice,
That in unity the face of Christ may be clear for all the world to see.
