COLLECT FOR THE WEEK: Eternal God, Whose glory it is always to have mercy, be gracious to all who have gone astray from Your ways, and bring them again with penitent hearts and steadfast faith to embrace and hold fast the unchangeable truth of Your Word, through Jesus Christ Your Son, who with You and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever.

COLLECT FOR THE SEASON: Almighty and merciful God, You hate nothing that You have made and forgive the sins of all those who are penitent; create and make in us new and contrite hearts that lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, we may receive from You, the God of all mercy, perfect forgiveness and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

**LENTEN TALK - 2017The 2017 Lenten Season has commenced. Our Diocese will be on air throughout the season for daily broadcast on LTV 8 at 8:55pm. This special Lenten programme is to expose our audience to God’s Holy Word. God will be talking to us in diverse ways on the Diocesan Theme: “ARISE, SHINE, FOR YOUR LIGHT HAS COME”(Isa. 60:1) God bless you as you watch, listen and meditate on His word. Amen.

Minister: The Lord be with you

People: The Lord bless you

Minister: Let us worship God

Minister: As we approach our Holy God, we realize that we have sinned

and come short of His glory. Let us therefore humbly confess our sins to

Him, kneeling and saying together:

People: O God, our righteous Judge and merciful Father, we confess

that we have sinned against You in thought, word and deed. We

acknowledge that we are responsible for our sinfulness. Have mercy

upon us, we pray You, and forgive us by the love which You have shown

towards us in Jesus Christ, who for our sakes died and rose again. Give

us true repentance by the power of Your Holy Spirit, and enable us to

forsake our evil ways and serve You in newness of life. We ask this

through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Minister: May the Almighty and merciful Lord grant unto us pardon and

remission of all our sins, time for amendment of life, and the grace and

comfort of the Holy Spirit.

People: Amen

Minister: Recognizing that God has forgiven us because Jesus, the

Lamb of God, had died for us, let us adore Him, saying:

All: Salvation belongs to our God who sits upon the throne and to the

Lamb! Amen. Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and

honour and power and might be to our God for ever and ever! Amen.

Minister: You have dealt well with Your servants, O Lord.

People: According to Your word

Minister: Blessed are You, O Lord

People: O teach us Your statutes

Minister: Your word is a lamp to our feet

People: And light to our path

THE PSALMMinister: Let us confess our faith

THE APOSTLES’ CREED: I believe in God, the Father Almighty; Creator of Heaven and earth; and in

Jesus Christ; His only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of

the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius

Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried. He descended to the dead, On the

third day He rose again, He ascended into Heaven, and is seated at the

right hand of the Father; He will come again to judge the living and the

dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; The Holy Catholic Church, The

communion of saints, The forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the

body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Minister: The Lord be with you

People: And also with you

Minister: Let us pray, Lord have mercy upon us

People: Christ, have mercy upon us

Minister: Lord, have mercy upon us

All: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your Kingdom come

Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily

bread, Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us, Lead

us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Minister: O Lord, show Your mercy upon us

People: And grant us Your salvation

Minister: O Lord, guide and defend our rulers

People: And give them wisdom from above

Minister: Endue Your ministers with righteousness

People: And make Your chosen people joyful

Minister: O Lord, save Your people

People: And bless Your inheritance

Minister: Give peace in our time, O Lord

People: Because there is none other that rules the world, but only You, O

God

Minister: O God, make clean our hearts within us

People: And take not Your Holy Spirit from us

REJOICE IN THE LORD ALL HIS OWNText: Psalm 33:1-22

This Psalm is a hymn of praise probably written to celebrate the power, wisdom, and mercy of God. It gives abundant reasons why God's people should rejoice in the Lord. The source of the believer's joy is not in the world, neither is it in themselves, but in the Lord. New songs are put in their mouths because they too are new creatures. It is only the born again that can truly rejoice in the Lord in this world of uncertainty.

Reasons abound why believers should rejoice in the Lord. His word, because it is right (vs. 4); His works, because His works are done in truth and in loving kindness (vs. 4 & 5); His power (vs. 8 &9), because He is able to perform what He had promised and His counsel does not fail; and finally, we are able to rejoice in and praise Him because we are blessed. He has chosen us for His inheritance (vs. 12). All spiritual blessings are ours because we belong to Him. Therefore, we should rejoice no matter the circumstances in which we find ourselves, reminding ourselves that “all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose”. (Romans 8:28).

Always remember that “Blessed is the one whose God is the Lord”.

Your Vicar and friend
