Looking forward to a bank holiday weekend at St Wulstans. On Sunday morning, we have the next in our Dangerous Rumour Easter season. Cary is leading the opening worship and Sarah is speaking on the fish breakfast that the risen Jesus cooked for his rather surprised friends on the shores of lake Galilee (see John 21 for the full story). You can download the Weekly Link here, and the service booklet below.
Songs on Sunday include Alleluia, Alleluia Give Thanks to the Risen Lord, and Will You Come Me If I But Call Your Name. We will also have a new song to the tune of Deck the Halls
Peter said, “I’m going fishing,” so his friends went out with him.
Through the night, they laboured, watching, hauling empty nets back in.
In the grey of early morning, Jesus, you came walking by.
From the beach you called a greeting, "Cast out on the other side!”
Soon their nets were filled to brimming; someone cried, “It is the Lord!”
Jumping in, he started swimming; Christ, you met him on the shore.
Guiding them to better waters, eating fish, and sharing bread-
You showed Peter and the others: You were risen from the dead!
Risen Christ, you send us fishing! God’s great sea is everywhere.
You have guided us in mission, You have given love to share.
Through the years, our church has heard you, we have answered your great call:
“Cast your nets where I have told you. Bring my word of love to all!”
Lord, be with our congregation; by your spirit, send us forth!
May we care for your creation; may we work for peace on earth.
In our worship, in our giving, in our serving those in need,
May we know, Lord; you are living, guiding us in ministry.
