1st reading

Ps 18 Their voice has gone out, they fill the earth; the word of the Lord is heard.

 

The glory of the Lord is proclaimed; the heavens show the work of his hands.
Day unto day takes up the message, and night makes it known to night.

Their voice has gone out, they fill the earth; the word of the Lord is heard.

No speech, no word, no voice is heard,  yet their voice goes out throughout the earth,
their words to the limits of the world,  and their voice fills the earth.

Their voice has gone out, they fill the earth;   the word of the Lord is heard.

Prayers and Intercessions

 

We pray for our City: May we be inspired by Andrew, who left everything to follow Jesus, to let Glasgow flourish by the preaching of Jesus’ word and the praising of his name.  Lord, hear us.

We ask for God’s blessing on all our civic and religious leaders,
that they may truly guide us in reconciling and respecting all,
in working for justice, in working for peace,
and in attending to the needs of all your children.  Lord, hear us

We pray for our Scottish nation today. May we truly be a community where everyone is valued, where everyone is given their dignity because God is Father of us all.   Lord, hear us

We pray for our world. May Scottish people everywhere contribute to the common good of the people in whatever nation they find themselves making their new home.  May all people live in peace and harmony recognising each other as children of the one Father.  Lord, hear us

 

Let us pray
As we thank you, Lord, for St Andrew and his spreading of Gospel
we pray that our own community may be brought together by devotion to the Word of God
and may move steadily towards the unity for which Christ prayed.
We pray for our  country: that the faith shared by Andrew and the apostles,
may give joy, comfort and strength to us all
through Christ our Lord.  Amen

 

The Gifts:

Oh, circle us now with love and with peace. Our strength and our guide, Lord, we pray.
We have nothing to fear when you are so near. You are King of the night and the day.
All glory to God the Father of all, To the Son and the Spirit give praise.

I ask you, my God, to bless and protect the fam’ly and friends that I love.
Enfold us in love, surround us with peace; be our strength and our light and our life.
All glory to God the Father of all, To the Son and the Spirit give praise.
