Almighty God, you have created the heavens and the earth and made us in your own image: teach us to discern your hand in all your works and your likeness in all your children; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who with you and the Holy spirit reigns supreme over all things, now and for ever.
Readings: Genesis 1:1 - 2:3
God speaks the world into creation. On the sixth day, human beings are created in God’s image. God is united with us from the very beginning. We are given responsibility for looking after others.
Psalm - 136 v 1-9

Creation is fallen. Suffering is built into the fabric of life. Like a woman in labour, all of us must endure pain before the future promise of glory as God’s children.
Gradual Hymn: 397
Gospel: Matthew 6:25-end
As part of his long discourse known as the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells us not to worry. We concern ourselves with how our needs will be met. But our heavenly Father is ahead of us. The key for us is to place God and God’s kingdom first.
