Prayers

Let us pray

Faithful God,
We gather this morning in Your presence,
even though we are not physically together.
Those of us who worship you every week
and those who do not.
Those who are full of faith
and those who don’t know what we believe.
Those who can hardly keep from singing,
and those who can barely face the day.
We gather because You have called us,
because You love us,
because You are our God.
We gather, not because we are good
or pure or holy,
but because of our need.
We gather, knowing that again and again
we have failed to live as You would have us live,
that we have not loved one another,
that we have not loved Your creation,
that we have not loved You,
that we have not loved ourselves.
Forgive us, God,
and renew us to be Your people.
Make us one,
and reassure us in our true identity
as children of the One who is above all things.
For we pray this in the name of Jesus Christ,
Our faithful and forgiving friend
Amen

In this past week, many young people have received SQA results, and in the coming week, our Scottish schools re-open to pupils, let us pray
Lord, be with each and every young person who received SQA results last week.
Those who are delighted and those are unhappy.
Those who have are looking forward to the next stage of education and training
And those who are unsure what to do next.
Let each one of them feel your love and presence.
Help them to know they are loved by you.
And be with their families and friends supporting them.

As our schools re-open this week, we pray for all staff and pupils.
Thank you for all the hard work which has already taken place to get our schools ready.
For those who are excited, those unsure, those who are scared and those who can’t wait.
For those starting at a new school, whether pupil, teacher or staff member
and those returning to what might feel like a very different school.
Walk alongside them.

Protect them.
Strengthen them.
Support them.
Help everyone to understand the important of following new rules and guidelines, so that we can all stay safe.
We ask this for Jesus’ sake.
Amen

Let us say together …

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 debts
as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
forever.
Amen.

Hymn

Our final hymn is “Eternal Father, Strong to Save”, recorded for BBC Songs of Praise in St Thomas Church, Belfast.

Grace

Words cannot express
how thankful we are that You consider us to be Your children;

Words cannot express
how grateful we are that nothing:
Angels, demons, death, life…
nothing can separate us from Your love!

Accept, O Lord,
our gifts of our time, talent and treasure.
However great or however small,
May they and may we be used to grow Your kingdom.
May our mustard seeds grow into bushes.

Lord, we pray this day for all who are yet to hear this news.
May You continue to sustain all who seek to make You known across our world.
Be with missionaries, Bible translators, children and family workers,
chaplains, ministers, preachers and pastors.
Be in conversations, Bible studies, Alpha courses,
Christianity Explored and Emmaus courses.
Be in high churches, café churches,
messy churches, house groups and cathedrals.
Be in all that opens people’s eyes to You,
Your love and Your call.

God of love and compassion,
We pray for all who seek to make a difference in the lives of others.
Be with carers and counsellors, medics and mediators,
Be with those with listening ears and those with caring hands,
Be in all that opens people’s eyes to You,
Your love and Your call.
God of justice and peace,
We pray for all who seek to challenge injustices and stand up for what is right.
Be with the politician and the protester,
The activist and the pacifist,
The vocal and the silent.
Be in all that opens people’s eyes to You,
Your love and Your call.
Hear us and help us to see You this day, we pray.
Amen

Let us say together …

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

With the choir singing “Lacrymosa dies illa”
the soloist sings
“Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the softly falling snow
I am the gentle show’rs of rain
I am the fields of ripening grain
I am in the morning hush
I am in the graceful rush of far-off birds in circling flight
I am the starshine of the night
I am in ev’ry flower that blooms
I am in still and empty rooms
I am the child that yearns to sing
I am in each lovely thing
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there
I did not die”

Songs of Praise Sunday 19/7/2020

This week’s time of worship is a Summer Songs of Praise, led by Ramanee Bengough. We asked you all for your suggestions, and we had some great ones sent in.

During this strange time, music has been very important to a lot of people. Whether joining in with an online choir, listening to the radio, or watching the many, clever, videos put together from recordings made in lockdown, I have found music a comfort and also a blessing – our house has been filled with music, with our music student daughter home from university, and practising her instruments.

I have enjoyed finding music each week to add to our online time of worship, working with our own brilliant musicians, Bill, Ed and Hazel, who have supplied me with recordings throughout, sometimes at very short notice. And from your comments, you have agreed with our selections too. Our musicians have also sent in their suggestions, and it’s lovely to find out what Christian music they enjoy.

I hope that you enjoy some old favourites, and some new ones too.

Opening Prayer

Father God,
by your Spirit the whole body of the Church is governed and sanctified:
hear our prayer, which we offer for all your faithful people,
that in our vocation and ministry
we may serve you in holiness and truth
to the glory of your name;
through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
Amen

Summer suns are glowing (tune Ruth)

Chosen by David J Wallace, one of our church members, who said

This hymn, sadly, doesn’t seem to be heard much. I first sang it around 1954 (!!!) and probably only a few times since then. I think the music is lovely – the melody flows smoothly,  effortlessly and predictably, making the hymn easy – and a joy – to sing.

When I found this video memories of my primary school assemblies (from the 1970s) came flooding back. This version was recorded in Whitby, many years ago, for BBC Songs of Praise.

Abide with me

Chosen by Bill Mclean, our organist, who has shared his talents with us during lockdown. Bill said

One of my favourite hymns is ‘Abide with me’, it’s a well loved hymn. When Logie church closed to join with St John’s (Cross), I returned to the church alone after the last service and played this wonderful hymn. Because of that it holds a special memory for me.

This version was recorded in Glasgow Cathedral, and shown on BBC Songs of Praise.

My hope is built on nothing less

Chosen by John Dent, one of our elders, who has led several times of worship online, he said,

Amongst many favourites, this one, of faith and confidence, is the most long standing – since around 1974.
The content says it all!

Recorded by Ed Muirhead, our pianist.

https://youtu.be/5K78W-Tmvhc

In heavenly love abiding

Chosen by Catherine Mclean, who has provided several bible readings for usI. Catherine said,

This is a powerful hymn with powerful words which speak to me even more in recent times. It echoes the Bible’s assurance that the Lord is with us now and to the end.

This was recorded for BBC Songs of Praise, at St German’s Church, Cardiff

Living Hope

Chosen by Hazel Bengough, who’s been playing oboe and piano for our online times of worship. She said,

I’ve chosen ‘Living Hope’ as it’s often played at the church I attend in Glasgow. It reminds us that Jesus has conquered death for us and that He is our true hope in times like these.

This was recorded at Spring Harvest, and shown on BBC Songs of Praise earlier this year.

When I survey the wonderous cross

Chosen by our pianist, Ed Muirhead, who has been recording hymns for us since the first week of lockdown. He said,

“When I survey” has been one of my favourite hymns for a long time – the tune is great, and the words seem to put everything in perspective, pulling your attention back to Jesus, his cross and love. The combination of music and words in the hymn works really well, the melody and harmony ebbing and flowing with the feeling in the lyrics.

Now thank we all our God

Chosen by Catherine Mclean, who said,

Why this one? The words are very powerful and the tune likewise. It was a hymn sung at the closing summer service at Harris Academy. It stirs powerful emotions in me which I can’t quite comprehend.

This version comes from Grace Community Church – Sun Valley, California.

10,000 Reasons

Chosen by Florence & Gordon Mitchell, who first came to our church last year. They said,

This is a beautiful rendition of Psalm 103. We first heard it at Logie &  St John’s (Cross) at a worship led by Rev Anita Kerr and it speaks volumes to us.       

Rev Anita Kerr introduced this hymn to the congregation in 2019, and I was one of the people who volunteered to lead the singing as she taught it. We have included it in our online time of worship several times, using this version recorded in Bangor, for BBC Songs of Praise.

 Oh Jesus I have promised (tune Hatherop Castle)

Chosen by Lorna Carter, one of our church members, who has been a regular at our online coffee times. Lorna said,

I learnt this hymn at school in primary 4 for a school assembly. I still remember all the words and sing it to myself. Of  course, the words are timeless but that tune is so rousing. 

Deep peace

Chosen by Ramanee Bengough, deputy session clerk, who has been putting together the web pages each week, and emailing newsletters.

No apologies for including a piece of music which I have previously sung in a choir. What beautiful words to end our time together.

Deep peace of the running wave to you
Deep peace of the flowing air to you
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you
Deep peace of the shining stars to you
Deep peace of the gentle night to you
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you
Deep peace of Christ the light of the world to you
Deep peace of Christ to you

Grace

We normally say the words of the Grace to each other. We say them now to whoever is with us, and to everyone we have thought about during this time of worship.

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

The Blessing

Ramanee Bengough has also selected this “made in lockdown” recording of the Blessing includes people from across the UK, from over 65 churches and organisations, each representing hundreds of others.

How wonderful to see and hear Christians from so many different places all sharing one message to us all.

This video may contain adverts – something we’ve tried to avoid for our online times of worship – but we thought it was worth it to share this with you.

Notices

With many thanks to all our contributors.

Reflection

by Rev James Wilson, which has subtitles – this is an audio recording with James’ photo, and not a video. James will be joining our coffee “Zoom” time at 11.45am.

He additionally refers to texts from Genesis 18 1-15 and Romans 5 1-8.

Hymn

Let us respond by singing together, “Holy Spirit, hear us”.

Prayer

Ramanee Bengough leads us in prayer, with subtitles.

Let us say together …

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 debts
as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
forever.
Amen.

Hymn

Our final hymn is “Breathe on me, Breath of God”.

Grace

We normally say the words of the Grace to each other. We say them now to whoever is with us, and to everyone we have thought about during this time of worship.

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

Final music

Largo by Dvorak, recorded in our church
