Welcome
and introduction
Opening Prayers
Hymn:
All things Bright and Beautiful
All
things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours,
He made their tiny wings.
Refrain
The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning,
That brightens up the sky;
Refrain
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one;
Refrain
The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows for our play,
The rushes by the water,
To gather every day;
Refrain
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.
Refrain
Reading from Bible: John 2. 1-10
Homily
Prayers and 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
Hymn: How Great thou Art
O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great thou art, How great thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great thou art, How great thou art.
When through the woods, and forest glades I
wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain
grandeur,
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.
Refrain
When Christ shall come, with shout of
acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my
heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim; “My God, how great Thou
art!”
Commendation and Farewell
Committal
Poem and Blessing
Do not hurry as you walk with grief;
It does not help the journey.
Walk slowly, pausing often;
Do not hurry as you walk with grief.
Be not disturbed by memories that come
unbidden;
Swiftly forgive and let Christ speak for you.
Unspoken words, unfinished conversations will
be resolved in Him.
Be not disturbed.
Be gentle with the one who walks with grief.
If it is you, be gentle with yourself.
Swiftly forgive,
Walk slowly, pausing often.
Take time; be gentle - as you walk with grief.
