ANNOUNCEMENTS
Next Sunday, October 4th, is World Communion Sunday, so we will celebrate the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. Remember that we have an open table, and all are welcome.
Next Sunday we will also celebrate the Season of Creation. This runs from September 1st to October 4th, and it is celebrated ecumenically around the world as a time to honour God’s creation in worship and in action. There will be special prayers as well as a new hymn. But don’t worry – the music will be familiar; only the words will be different!
Upcoming hymns and photos of the week are listed at the bottom of this page.

NOTRE APPORCHE VERS DIEU / OUR APPROACH TO GOD
BIENVENUE, PRIÈRE ET APPEL À LA CÉLÉBRATION / GREETING, PRAYER AND CALL TO WORSHIP
(Se lever / Congregation rises as the Minister enters)
As I live every day, I want to be a channel for peace. May I bring love where there is hatred and healing where there is hurt; joy where there is sadness, and hope where there is fear. I pray that I may always try to understand and comfort other people, as well as seeking comfort and understanding from them. May I choose always to be a light in the darkness, a help in times of need, and a caring honest friend. And may justice, kindness, and peace flow from my heart forever. Amen.
We come to worship because we love God.
All creation praises God’s goodness and love.
We come to worship seeking healing and wholeness.
Through God’s son, compassion, love, and grace flow in abundance.
We come to worship, yearning to be transformed:
Guided by the Spirit of God, we work to build a more peaceful and just world.
Let us worship God together!
The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
And also with you.
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty,
God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity! (Sung)
PRIÈRE D’INVOCATION / PRAYER OF INVOCATION
CANTIQUE / HYMN: 321 PRAISE TO THE LORD, THE ALMIGHTY
PRIÈRE DE CONFESSION / PRAYER OF CONFESSION
We confess that we have sometimes failed to comfort those in pain; we have often ignored the needs of others or failed to stand with our neighbours in their struggle for dignity and respect. On this day, we confess the sins of your church in running residential schools that separated children from their families. We repent of our past sins and pray for the wisdom to walk in a new way with you and with one another. Amen.
LE NOTRE PÈRE / 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 debts as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory. Forever and ever, Amen.

1ère LECTURE / 1st READING: Exodus 17: 1 – 7
This is the word of the Lord. (La parole de Dieu.)
Thanks be to God. (Nous rendons grâce à Dieu.)
PSAUME / RESPONSIVE READING: Psalm 78: 1 – 4, 12 – 16
Give ear, O my people, to my teaching.
Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
I will open my mouth in a parable;
I will utter dark sayings from of old, things that we have heard and known, things that our ancestors have told us.
We will not hide them from our children.
We will tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and the mighty wonders that God has done.
In the sight of their ancestors, God worked marvels, in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan.
The Lord divided the sea and let them pass through it, and made the waters stand like a heap.
In the daytime, God led them with a cloud, and all night long with a fiery light.
The Lord split rocks open in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.
The Lord made streams come out of the rock, and caused waters to flow down like rivers.
Yet they sinned still more against God, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.
GLORIA PATRI (594)
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.
2ème LECTURE / 2nd READING: Philippians 2: 1 – 13
This is the word of the Lord. (La parole de Dieu.)

For those who have expressed interest in singing as a choir, we are including a list of upcoming hymns to give people the opportunity to learn their parts on their own ahead of time. Please sit on the side closest to the video camera, or see France at the beginning of the service for sitting assignment. It is important to note that people should not wear perfume while singing close to others.
How to proceed to study the music on your own:
For regular attendees who read music, you may take pictures of the hymns in the hymn book for you to practice at home for the next service. For those learning by ear, many common hymns are available on you tube where you can listen to them ahead of time. During services, the organist always plays the entire hymn once as an introduction, giving you a head start on how it goes.
