Easter Questions in Music & Poetry

Sunday 6th April 2025

God of all, we come to proclaim your greatness,
to sing of your might, to declare your majesty,
and to rejoice in all that you have done. 
You are a God of love and mercy, and we praise you. 
We come to hear again of your great acts across history,
your wonderful deeds amongst your people,
all you have accomplished in Christ. 
You are a God of love and mercy, and we Praise you. 
We come to lift up our hearts to lift up our voices
and to celebrate again the Gospel.
You are a God of love and mercy, and we praise you. 
But as we bring our praise so also we bring our confession. 
Merciful God, forgive us now for being distracted by the allures of the world.
Like the rich young ruler, we have sought to gain the world at the great cost of losing our soul.
Lord, forgive us. 
You are a God of love and mercy, and we praise you. 
We have forgotten you are always ready to forgive and renew us,
and consequently have burdened ourselves with feelings of guilt and despair.
You are a God of love and mercy, and we praise you. Amen. 
 
The service for today focusses on questions we find in the scriptures, and in particular on those in the Gospels. With singing, music and poetry, the congregation and choir will respond to those questions.

Mark has recorded some of the reflections he will be sharing, and you can watch that here: https://youtu.be/0XLwgsHtWg0
