00:00We meet today to remember, to remember those who died, to remember those who were injured in body or mind, to remember those who mourn, to remember those who tried to help.
00:17We meet to remember them and commit them to God.
00:24Psalm 23, a promise of his presence always.
00:28The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
00:34He makes me lie down in green pastures.
00:38He leads me beside quiet waters.
00:41He restores my soul.
00:43He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
00:48Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.
00:54For you are with me, your rod and your staff.
00:59They comfort me.
01:01You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
01:07You anoint my head with oil.
01:09My cup overflows.
01:12Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.
01:17Almighty and eternal God, for those who love in Jesus we cannot be parted, either by death or life.
01:32Hear our prayers and thanksgiving for all, whom we remember this day.
01:39Fulfilling them the purpose of your love.
01:42And bring us all with them to your eternal joy.
01:46Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
01:49Amen.
01:49Let us remember before God the living, those who mourn, those who still suffer.
01:58Those who try to help the emergency services, the medical services, the social workers and the clergy.
02:07The people of Sheffield and Liverpool.
02:09Almighty God, in the name of Jesus, your Son, who heals the sick and consoles the hurting.
02:21We pray for all who suffer through sickness of body or mind.
02:26Through fear of depression, through loneliness or bereavement.
02:30And we ask that according to your will, they may be healed and comforted.
02:37For the sake of Jesus Christ, our Lord.
02:42Amen.
02:44Let's say the Lord's prayer together.
02:47Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
02:52Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
02:57Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
03:07And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
03:12For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever and ever.
03:17Amen.
