SUNDAY SCHOOL
This week I am delighted that we have Sunday School once again. There will still be a Children's Message as part of the service but we also have this 20 minute Sunday School from Campaigners Northern Ireland. You can either allow children to watch on a 2nd screen while you listen to the sermon, but better by far is to watch together and learn the songs and talk about the story. Even if you are not of Sunday School age, I know of several adults who have enjoyed going back to Sunday School as last few weeks. Thanks to Laura at Campaigners for providing this.

Welcome to Burnside At Home
CALL TO WORSHIP
How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty! 2 My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. Psalms 84:1-2 (NIV 1984)
OPENING PRAYER
King of all the earth, Creator of the universe, Holy Triune God, From everlasting to everlasting, you are Lord. Our souls long for your courts, O Lord of hosts; Happy are we who dwell in your house and are ever praising you! Our hearts and our flesh rejoice in the living God; Happy are we who dwell in your house and are ever praising you! We have found a home in your presence, Our King and Our God; Happy are we who dwell in your house and are ever praising you! Who is like our God, the One who strengthens his people, the One who reveals himself to all who seek after him? This is our God, the Holy One. Come before him with thanksgiving and offer him the sacrifice of praise. Amen

WELCOME
Welcome to Burnside At Home, Every time I say that there is a hint of sadness, I’m talking to a mobile phone and about to go into an empty church building. But also a sense of wonder, That all of you who are at home are able to join us in worshiping God It amazes me that we are able to function as a church That we are able to worship God It looks as though we are going to be doing this for a while over the summer So I want us to explore our worship How can we enhance our worship? I feel a real sense of connection as we do worship. Even though at different times Joined by Spirit and Truth. The Spirit is not confined by Space and Time The way that we are So if we are worshipping in the Spirit Then we are together. CALL TO WORSHIP Jesus put it this way in John 4:24 “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” So Let Us Worship Let Us Pray OPENING PRAYER Lord fill us with your Holy Spirit Join us in worship Unite us together Enhance our worship AMEN PSALM 100 We are going to end by singing Psalm 100 But I want us to read it at the start of the service All people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice. Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell; Come ye before Him and rejoice. Know that the Lord is God indeed, without our aid he did us make: we are his flock, he doth us feed, and for his sheep he doth us take. O enter then His gates with praise; Approach with joy His courts unto; Praise, laud, and bless His name always, For it is seemly so to do. Because the Lord our God is good; His mercy is for ever sure; His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure. PRAISE Sometimes in these services I have chosen hymns and songs that we don’t always know. They may be songs that we haven’t been able to sing in Burnside So the opportunity now is to widen our horizons And learn new songs that help us approach God Here is an older piece that invites us to Come and worship Come Now Is The Time To Worship

The Higher Ground Of Worship
PRAISE
There is no Benediction! The Benediction is the Psalm. Normally we go straight from worship to the Gettys I hope you may need to pause today Used to be Presbyterians would leave the meeting house in silence Because they had met with God And they had to think deeply on what had happened during the service Very seldom does that happen. Listen to this Psalm And then pause the service. Wait on God Then go and enjoy the Gettys Psalm 100 All People That On Earth Do Dwell

WELCOME
Welcome to Burnside At Home, Thank you for joining with us today I wonder have you encountered the same problem that I have over lockdown. I have found that it is very very easy to become negative about everything. Politicians don’t answer the questions that they are asked at the briefings Statistics seem to be stretched to suit the point being made. Social distancing seems to be forgotten at large events, Social distancing seems to be ignored on the promenade. Holiday makers suddenly arrive and what was a quiet peaceful little town is bursting at the seams. And all of this can make us very negative. We start complaining about everything We get worried about more and more We become negative about everything in life. It is important that we check this behaviour And remember that we serve a God of Hope, A God of Grace A God who is Sovereign Who is in control of all things. And this great God who we will worship today has a great plan for us.

Luke Millar - Philippians 4:4-9 (NIV 1984) Thank you to Luke who stood in for his mum at the last minute. 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me–put it into practice.
