WEDNESDAY 3 JUNE EVENING PRAYER
GREETING
The light and peace of Jesus Christ be with you
And also with you.
PREPARATION
Faithful God, who fulfilled the promises of Easter by
sending us your Holy Spirit, and made known to every
race and nation the way of eternal life; open our lips by
your Spirit, that every tongue may tell of your glory,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
PENITENCE
Christ the light of the world has come to dispel the
ourselves and confess our sins.
Silence is kept for one minute
Let us admit to God the sin which always confronts us:
Lord God, we have sinned against you; we have done
evil in your sight. We are sorry and repent. Have
mercy on us according to your love. Wash away our
wrongdoing and cleanse us from our sin. Renew a
right spirit within us and restore us to the joy of your
salvation, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
May the God of love and power forgive you and free
your from your sins, heal and strengthen you by the
Spirit, and raise you to new life in Christ our Lord.
Amen.
VERSICLES AND RESPONSES
O Lord, we call to you: come to us quickly.
Hear us when we cry to you.
Let our prayers rise up before you like incense.
Let our lifted hands be like an evening sacrifice.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now and shall be for ever.
Amen.
THE WORD OF GOD
A READING
St Mark 12:18-27
Some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came
to him and asked him a question, saying, ‘Teacher,
Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, leaving a
wife but no child, the man shall marry the widow and
raise up children for his brother. There were seven
brothers; the first married and, when he died, left no
children; and the second married her and died, leaving
no children; and the third likewise; none of the seven left
children. Last of all the woman herself died. In the
resurrection whose wife will she be? For the seven had
married her.’
Jesus said to them, ‘Is not this the reason you are wrong,
that you know neither the scriptures nor the power of
God? For when they rise from the dead, they neither
marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in
heaven. And as for the dead being raised, have you not
read in the book of Moses, in the story about the bush,
how God said to him, “I am the God of Abraham, the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob”? He is God not of
the dead, but of the living; you are quite wrong.’
ADDRESS
SONG OF WORSHIP
Lord, I come to you
Lord I come to you
let my heart be changed, renewed,
flowing from the grace
that I found in you.
And Lord I’ve come to know
the weaknesses I see in me
will be stripped away
by the power of your love.
Hold me close,
let your love surround me.
Bring me near,
draw me to your side.
And as I wait
I’ll rise up like the eagle,
and I will soar with you,
your Spirit leads me on,
in the power of your love.
Lord unveil my eyes,
let me see you face to face,
the knowledge of your love
as you live in me.
Lord renew my mind
as your will unfolds in my life,
in living every day
by the power of your love.
PRAISE
Blessed are you, Lord God, King of the universe.
To you be glory and praise for ever.
From the rising of the sun to its setting your name is
proclaimed in all the world.
To you be glory and praise for ever.
When the times had fully come you sent the Sun of
Righteousness.
In him the fullness of your glory dwells. To you be
glory and praise for ever.
