Pilgrims and Companions. Sunday 17th July 2022

Order of Service Sunday July 17th Welcome and a moment of silence Call to worship Psalm 63:1–4 O God, you are my God; Earnestly I seek you;My soul thirsts for you;My flesh faints for you,As in a dry and weary land where there is no water.So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,Beholding your power and glory,Because your steadfast love is better than life,My lips will praise you.So I will bless you as long as I live;In your name I will lift up my hands.  Hymn As the deer pants for the water so my soul longs after you SoF 27 Staying in touch The Messenger and Instagram Song If God had a mobile phone and he sent you a text Notices and offering Expect update Song Africa medley JBU update Song Hear my cry O Lord Reading Deuteronomy 26:1-11 When you have entered the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance and have taken possession of it and settled in it, take some of the first fruits of all that you produce from the soil of the land the Lord your God is giving you and put them in a basket. Then go to the place the Lord your God will choose as a dwelling for his Name and say to the priest in office at the time, “I declare today to the Lord your God that I have come to the land the Lord swore to our ancestors to give us.” The priest shall take the basket from your hands and set it down in front of the altar of the Lord your God. Then you shall declare before the Lord your God: “My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down into Egypt with a few people and lived there and became a great nation, powerful and numerous. But the Egyptians mistreated us and made us suffer, subjecting us to harsh labour. Then we cried out to the Lord, the God of our ancestors, and the Lord heard our voice and saw our misery, toil and oppression. So the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great terror and with signs and wonders. He brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey; and now I bring the first fruits of the soil that you, Lord, have given me.” Place the basket before the Lord your God and bow down before him. Then you and the Levites and the foreigners residing among you shall rejoice in all the good things the Lord your God has given to you and your household.
