HymnOrder of ServiceO God of Bethel, by Whose handThy people still are fed,Who through this weary pilgrimageHast all our fathers led.Through each perplexing path of lifeOur wandering footsteps guide;Give us each day our daily bread,And raiment fit provide.WelcomeW. Bro. Keith Ferguson(Worshipful District Master)Opening PrayerBro. Rev. Mark Wilson(District Chaplain)Our vows, our prayers, we now presentBefore Thy throne of grace;God of our fathers, be the GodOf their succeeding race.O spread Thy covering wings aroundTill all our wanderings cease,And at our Father’s loved abodeOur souls arrive in peace.Such blessings from Thy gracious handOur humble prayers implore;And Thou shalt be our chosen God,And portion evermore.Scripture Reading1 Corinthians 11 v 17 - 33Bro. Jim Kirk(District Lay Chaplain)Scriptural AddressBro. Rev. Mark Wilson(District Chaplain)HymnOur God, our help in ages past,Thy saints have dwelt secure;Our shelter from the stormy blast,And our eternal home.Under the shadow of Thy throneOur hope for years to come,Sufficient is Thine arm alone,And our defence is sure.Before the hills in order stood,Or earth received her frame,From everlasting Thou art God,To endless years the same.A thousand ages in Thy sightAre like an evening gone;Short as the watch that ends the nightBefore the rising sun.Time, like an ever rolling stream,Bears all its sons away;They fly, forgotten, as a dreamDies at the opening day.Our God, our help in ages past,Our hope for years to come,Be Thou our guard while troubles last,And our eternal home.ResolutionsRead byBro.
