Anglican Church of Second Life

What is Second Life?
Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents.
Since opening Second Life (SL) has grown explosively and today is inhabited by over 8 million “residents” from around the globe.
From the moment you enter SL you discover a vast digital continent, teeming with people, entertainment, experiences and opportunities, including schools and churches.

SERVICE
Grace, mercy and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you
All: and also with you.
This is the day that the Lord has made.
All: Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

O Lord, open our lips
All: and our mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Give us the joy of your saving help
All: and sustain us with your life-giving Spirit.

All: Lord God,
we have sinned against you; we have done evil in your sight.
We are sorry and repent. Have mercy on us according to your love.
Wash away our wrongdoing and cleanse us from our sin.
Renew a right spirit within us and restore us to the joy of your salvation;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Word of God
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning is now and shall be for ever. Amen.
----Sung Psalm 119:13-16-----
Colossions 3:1-4

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
This is the word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.

All: Thanks be to God.
Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead.
All: And Christ shall give you light.
You have died and your life is hid with Christ in God.

All: Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead.
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on the earth.
All: And Christ shall give you light.
When Christ our life appears you will appear with him in glory.
All: Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.

Hymn
-----Be Thou My Vision--------
Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart,
be all else but naught to me, save that thou art;
be thou my best thought in the day and the night,
both waking and sleeping, thy presence my light.
Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word,
be thou ever with me, and I with thee Lord;
be thou my great Father, and I thy true son;
be thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.

Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight;
be thou my whole armor, be thou my true might;
be thou my soul's shelter, be thou my strong tower:
O raise thou me heavenward, great Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise:
be thou mine inheritance now and always;
be thou and thou only the first in my heart;
O Sovereign of heaven, my treasure thou art.

High King of heaven, thou heaven's bright sun,
O grant me its joys after victory is won;
great Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
still be thou my vision, O Ruler of all.
SERMON By Arkin Ariantho/Mark Brown
Intercessions are offered.

All Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen.

CONCLUSION
Blessed are you, Lord our God, creator and redeemer of all; to you be glory and praise for ever. From the waters of chaos you drew forth the world and in your great love fashioned us in your image. Now, through the deep waters of death, you have brought your people to new birth by raising your Son to life in triumph. May Christ your light ever dawn in our hearts as we offer you our sacrifice of thanks and praise.
Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit:
All: Blessed be God for ever.

The Grace
All: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore.
Amen.
