Sunday 19th April Service
On this beautiful Sunday morning in Hogsback we thank Norma (and her parrot) for a lovely message of hope. Jesus stand among us, even were we find ourselves in our lockdown places of safety!
Heavenly Father,
We thank You for Your innumerable Blessings. For sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, to live amongst us; to die on the cross for our sins; to rise again to give us the hope of new and everlasting life,
Lord God in your Word You have assured us so often that we do not need to be afraid. Bur still, Lord, we are fearful.
The world fears the unknown and out of control virus taking us on unfamiliar paths. We fear what our world will be like in the future.
We thank you for all who are working tirelessly to protect the people , contain the virus, care for the sick and comfort the dying and those who grieve.
We pray for our country. Thank You for leaders who are stepping forward to protect us , those who are trying to plan for the road ahead and a better future for all our people. Please bless them, Lord. May they learn that they are not alone, that they need to turn to You for guidance. This is an opportunity for creative and compassionate thinking . Lead us into a new order with new ideas.
In our community we pray that you will be with those without means of support, those who are hungry, those who have lost their jobs. Bless those who are working to feed the needy, may we who have much be generous in our giving.
Please be with all who are struggling with being in isolation.
We pray for the sick and for those in need………
We ask Your blessing on ourselves, on those whom we love and those who are far away.
Keep us faithful, Lord, keep us safe under the shadow of Your wings . May we always know that Your Hand is outstretched to hold us and lead us in Your Way ..Amen

Easter Sunday 2020: Jesus has risen!!
This morning we celebrate Easter Sunday and rejoice!! Our lord has risen!! The grave is empty!!
Our prayer intercession:
Gracious God
As we contemplate the empty tomb and the enormous implications of the Resurrection, we rejoice and celebrate.
He who was dead is alive , He who was buried is risen, He who has conquered death has set us free from the power of eternal darkness.
Let the whole world rejoice and proclaim that Jesus Christ our lord has risen today in glory.
We pray for our world, all those whose lives have been turned upside down since the outbreak of the Corona virus pandemic . We bring to You those wonderful people who continue to care for the sick, provide essential services and those working to develop strategies to keep their countries functioning and safe.
Our lives can never be the same, Lord, may this be a chance to change for the good, for a new beginning to view others with compassion tolerance and love and to recognise You in each other.
Lord , In our country the extension of the lockdown is accepted as necessary, but for many the isolation it is regarded with fear and dismay.
Many families are confined in small places and tensions are inevitable between each individual. Help us to look on one another with gentleness and kindness, particularly children who often bear the brunt of adult frustration.
For those spending 5 weeks alone this can be a terrifying and lonely prospect. For those suffering from mental difficulties the confinement could become intolerable, We pray for comfort and forbearance. Help us to keep in touch with those whom we know are in need of a kind and encouraging word.
Bless us Lord and keep us safe. Look kindly on us and may we always remember to be kind.
And now let us say together the prayer that Jesus taught us;
Our Father in heaven
Hallowed be Your name
Your Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven
Give us today our daily bread
And forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us,
Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil.
For the Kingdom , the Power and the Glory are Yours
now and for ever
Amen

Holy Week: Good Friday
Thank you Lord, for saving us.
After Jesus was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane He was taken to Caiaphas, the High Priest. The religious leaders had for some time been plotting to kill Jesus, They felt threatened by His teaching and His ability to draw crowds. His popularity was growing. He performed inexplicable miracles, healed the sick and preached Love and Service for our God and our fellow man. This was something very different from the accepted teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
The priests accused Jesus of blasphemy and claiming to be the long-expected Messiah and bayed for
His death.
Jesus was cruelly beaten and tortured and then bound by the Roman soldiers before being taken to appear before Pilate, the Roman governor, for trial. After questioning Jesus , Pilate realised the this was an innocent Man. Fearing for his own political career and afraid of the assembled rabble, he washed his hands of the case. He then handed Jesus back to the clamouring, fickle crowds to be crucified.
The soldiers dressed Jesus in a cloak and put a crown of thorns on His head. mocking and jeering at Him as the supposed King of the Jews. They then led Him out to be crucified. Jesus , badly injured and stumbling, accompanied by a large crowd , and carrying a heavy cross was taken to a hill outside Jerusalem called Golgotha.
There He was nailed to the cross to die.
