Sunday 26th April

Wellspring’s
weekly
worship

Week beginning April 26th

Today's worship time is in a different format and has been put together by several members of the Wellspring family as a single audio file.

To hear the service, simply click on the triangle at the top of this column. The overall shape and sequence is below (the song words are provided too).

And with it being only two weeks from Easter, the Resurrection continues to be the underlying thread through our time together.

Intro, welcome and prayer
SONG : 'Lord Jesus Christ'
Reading Luke 24:13-35 'The Walk to Emmaus'
Message - 'Another brief encounter'
(silence for a moment...)
'Footprints' - a poem with deep meaning
SONG : 'As we walk along beside you'
(some quiet music to lead us into Prayer)
Prayers of concern + Lord's Prayer
SONG : 'Alleluia, give thanks to the risen Lord'
Blessing
Final song (from Taize) - 'Stay with us...'

We are people just like the couple who were walking to Emmaus....

Song words

1
Lord Jesus Christ, you have come to us,
You are one with us, Mary's Son.
Cleansing our souls from all their sins
Pouring your love and goodness in,
Jesus our love for you we sing,
Living Lord.

Lord Jesus Christ, you have come to us
Born as one with us, Mary's Son.
Led out to die on Calvary,
risen from death to set us free,
living Lord Jesus help us see
You are Lord!

Lord Jesus Christ I would come to you
live my life for you, Son of God.
All your commands I know are true,
your many gifts will make me new,
into my life your power breaks through,
Living Lord.

As we walk along beside you,
and we hear you speak of mercy,
then it seems our hearts are burning
for we find you in the sharing of the word.

As we ask that you stay with us
and we watch what you are doing,
then our eyes begin to open
for we see you in the breaking of the bread.

As we listen to your wisdom
and we hear your voice of kindness
then we know that you are calling us
to find you in the sharing of the word.

As we reach for you believing
and we go to love and serve you,
then our lives will be proclaiming
that we know you in the rising from the dead.

Stay with us O Lord Jesus Christ
Night will soon fall.
Then stay with us O Lord Jesus Christ
Light in our darkness.
