Welcome to,our worship this morning. You will find below video and audio recordings for different parts of our worship – please join in where you can. Today we start a series of talks on Paul’s time in lock-down, based on Philippians. But we begin as always by singing God’s praises:

Prayers of thanksgiving and confession

Helen’s Reading – Matthew 13:45-46

Karen’s Reading – Philippians 1:1-11

Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus,
To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, 4 always in every
prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, 5 because
of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. 6
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will
bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. 7 It is right
for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my
heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my
imprisonment and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel. 8
For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection
of Christ Jesus. 9 And it is my prayer that your love may abound
more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you
may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for
the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that
comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
