CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader : God of life!
As Jesus promised,
you sent your Spirit to enrich our lives.
As we come to worship you today
All : pour out your Spirit on us,
that we may give you all we have:
receive our worship, we pray.
HYMN
God, the maker of the heavens
and the planet that we share,
show us how to live, like Jesus,
lives of gratitude and care.
Make us mindful of the footprints
from the lives that we pursue.
Make us partners in your mission:
you are making all things new.
God, the gardener of Eden,
teach us how to tend this earth,
learning from the changing seasons,
times of fallow and new birth.
Lord, have mercy when we’re careless,
rich resources we misuse.
Use our hands to heal creation:
you are making all things new.
God of labour and vocation,
Lord of science, trade and art,
take our efforts and our passions
make them mirrors of your heart.
Every habitat and creature
loved and valued, God, by you;
may our lives reveal your kingdom:
you are making all things new.
You are making all things new,
you are making all things new,
all things renewed!

HYMN
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
The light that shines is the light of love,
lights the darkness from above,
it shines on me & it shines on you,
and shows what the power of love can do.
Shine my light both bright and clear
Shine my light both far and near
In every dark corner that I find
I'm gonna let my little light shine
Monday gave me the gift of love
Tuesday peace came from above
Wednesday told me to have more faith
Thursday gave me a little more grace
Friday told me to watch and pray
Saturday told me just what to say
Sunday gave me the power divine
To let my little light shine
