Let us worship God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

‘May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us.’ (Psalm 67:1)

Hymn: Alleluia Sing to Jesus...

Isaiah 56:1, 6-8; Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32

As sisters and brothers in God’s family, we come to ask our Father for forgiveness:

Most merciful God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we confess that we have sinned in thought, word and deed. We have not loved you with our whole heart. We have not loved our neighbours as ourselves. In your mercy forgive what we have been, help us to amend what we are, and direct what we shall be; that we may do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with you, our God. Amen.

May the God of love bring us back to himself, forgive us our sins, and assure us of his eternal love in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer for the day: God of glory, the end of our searching, help us to lay aside all that prevents us from seeking your kingdom, and to give all that we have to gain the pearl beyond all price, through our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

Matthew 15: 21-28

Please see the message from the minister.

Let us pray:

We pray for St Peter’s Church and for the Church throughout the world, that we will thrive;

We pray for those preparing for Beach Life this year;

We pray for the leaders of the UK and every nation, that peace and justice will reign;

We pray for all that God has created, that the world and it’s creatures will thrive;

We pray for Sheringham, that it’s beating community heart will be strong and healthy;

We pray for those who are sick, suffering or struggling, that their needs will be exceeded;

We pray for the people who have lost loved ones, that they will be comforted.

Let us pray for the coming of God’s kingdom in the prayer that Jesus taught us:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done;

on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Hymn: There’s a wideness in God’s mercy...

May God keep us in all our days; may Christ Jesus shield us in all our ways;

may the Holy Spirit bring us healing and peace: and may the blessing of God Almighty who is Father, Son and Hoy Spirit bless us and remain with us always. Amen.

Let us go in peace to love and serve the Lord, in the name of Christ. Amen.
