We begin this service by singing ‘Brother, Sister, Let Me Serve You’:
Let me be as Christ to you.
Pray that I might have the grace to,
Let you be my servant too.
We are pilgrims on a journey,
We are brothers on the road.
We are here to help each other,
Walk the mile and bear the load.
I will hold the Christ-light for you,
In the night-time of your fear.
I will hold my hand out to you,
Speak the peace you long to hear.
I will weep when you are weeping,
When you laugh I’ll laugh with you.
I will share your joy and sorrow,
‘Till we’ve seen this journey through.
When we sing to God in heaven,
We shall find such harmony.
Born of all we’ve known together,
Of Christ’s love and agony.
Brother, sister, Let me serve you,
Let me be as Christ to you.
Pray that I might have the grace to,
Let you be my servant too.
We now sing ‘Vagabonds’:
Winners and losers, Come, people like me.
Come all you travellers, tired from the journey,
Come wait a while, stay a while, welcomed you’ll be.
Come all you questioners, looking for answers,
And searching for reasons, and sense in it all.
Come all you fallen, and come all you broken,
Find strength for your body, and food for your soul.
Come to the feast, there is room at the table.
Come let us meet in this place.
With the King of all kindness,
Who welcomes us in,
With the wonder of love, and the power of grace.
The wonder of the love, and the power of grace.
Come those who worry, ’bout houses and money,
And all those who don’t have a care in the world.
From every station, and orientation,
The helpless, the hopeless, the young and the old.
Come to the feast, there is room at the table.
Come let us meet in this place.
With the King of all kindness,
Who welcomes us in,
With the wonder of love, and the power of grace.
The wonder of the love, and the power of grace.
Come all believers, and dreamers and schemers,
And come all you restless, just searching for home.
Movers and shakers, and givers and takers,
The happy, the sad, the lost and alone.
Come self-sufficient, with wearied ambition,
And come those who feel at the end of the road.
Fiery debaters, and religion haters,
Accusers, abusers, the hurt and ignored.
Come to the feast, there is room at the table.
Come let us meet in this place.
With the King of all kindness,
Who welcomes us in,
With the wonder of love, and the power of grace.
The wonder of the love, and the power of grace.

We continue our service below with Prayers and Communion.
Unnumbered blessings give my spirit voice.
Tender to me, the promise of His word.
In God, my Saviour shall my heart rejoice.
Tell out, my soul, the greatness of His Name!
Make known His might, the deeds His arm has done.
His mercy sure, from age to age to same.
His holy Name, the Lord, the Mighty One.
Tell out, my soul, the greatness of His might!
Powers and dominions lay their glory by.
Proud hearts and stubborn wills are put to flight.
The hungry fed, the humble lifted high.
Tell out, my soul, the glories of His word!
Firm is His promise, and His mercy sure.
Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord.
To children’s children and for evermore!
