Response: The Lord is King! Let earth rejoice!

Hymn StF 330

Joy to the world, the Lord is come

Prayer of Confession

Reading: Ephesians 3: 1-12
...this grace was given to me to bring to the Gentiles the news of the boundless riches of Christ, and to make everyone see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things

We make our offerings...

Hymn:

Wise men seeking Jesus
Travelled from afar

Reading: Matthew 2:1 - 12
In the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, asking, β€˜Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star at its rising, and have come to pay him homage.’

Reflection

Hymn: StF 416

There's a wideness in God's mercy
Like the wideness of the sea

Prayers

We join together in prayer for the world, the church and all in need today

Hymn: StF 224

As with gladness men of old
did the guiding star behold

We bless one another...

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
the love of God
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit
be with us all, evermore
Amen
