Invitation to Confession

Silence is kept

God our Father,
you sent your Son full of grace and truth:
forgive our failure to receive him.
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

Jesus our Saviour,
you were born in poverty and laid in a manger:
forgive our greed and rejection of your ways.
Christ, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.

Spirit of Love,
your servant Mary 
responded joyfully to your call:
forgive the hardness of our hearts.
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.   

The Promise of Forgiveness

May God who loved the world so much that he sent his Son to be our Saviour forgive us our sins and make us holy to serve him in the world, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Peace                                        

All stand for the peace

Unto us a child is born, 
unto us a son is given,
and his name shall be called 
the Prince of Peace.

And also with you.

All remain where they are and exchange a sign of God’s peace.

Offertory Carol  

Angels We Have Heard On High

1 Angels we have heard on high,
sweetly singing o'er the plains,
and the mountains in reply
echoing their joyous strains:

Refrain:
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

2 Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
which inspire your heav'nly song? Refrain

3 Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the new-born King. Refrain

Prayer over the Gifts

God of peace, your Son Jesus Christ has reconciled us to you. May all we offer you today renew us as members of your household. We ask this in his name. Amen.

Eucharistic Prayer

The Lord is here
His Spirit is with us.

Lift up your hearts.
We lift them to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give thanks and praise.

…Therefore with all the angels of heaven,
we lift our voices and sing our joyful hymn 
of praise to proclaim the glory of your name.
Holy, holy Lord,
God of power and might,
Heaven and earth are full, full of your glory.
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna, 
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes, 
who comes in the name of the Lord. 
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna 
Hosanna in the highest. 

…Whenever you drink it,
do this for the remembrance of me.”
Therefore, Father, according to his command,
we remember his death,
we proclaim his resurrection,
we await his coming in glory;

The Lord’s Prayer                     

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Breaking of the Bread              

The celebrant breaks the consecrated bread saying:

We break the bread of life,
and that life is the light of the world.
God here among us,
light in the midst of us,
bring us to light and life.

The Communion

The celebrant invites everyone to share in communion

The gifts of God for the People of God.
Thanks be to God.

Prayer After Communion
