Lord, direct our thoughts, and teach us to pray. Lift up our hearts to worship you in spirit and in truth, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.’ (Isaiah 6:3)

Hymn: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty...

Isaiah 6:1-8

‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty.’ We long for the fire of God’s cleansing to touch our unclean lips, for our guilt to be removed. Let us meet the Lord with repentance in our hearts: 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: Lord of the hosts of heaven, our salvation and our strength, without you we are lost: guard us from all that harms or hurts and raise us when we fall; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Luke 5:1-11

Please see the message from the minister. 

Let us kneel before God, asking for his presence to be known to all. Let us pray.


We pray for St Peter’s Church and the Church throughout the world, that all people will respond to the invitation to follow Christ

We pray for our world, that the Earth and all of its creatures will thrive;


We pray for our friends, families and neighbours - may we all share in the love of Christ; 

We pray for people who are sick or suffering, to know the Holy Spirit’s healing presence; 

We remember the departed, and pray for all who mourn.

Let us join in the words of the Lord’s prayer, whoever and wherever we are: 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: I, the Lord of sea and sky...

May God give us his comfort and his peace, his light and his joy in this world and the next. And may the blessing of God Almighty who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit rest upon us and remain with us always. 

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