All Saints Church

10 April 2016

3rd Sunday of Easter

Family Service

Welcome!

Welcome to our Family Service. There is no children’s workshop and we

all stay together in church for the whole service. Busy bags are

available at both doors and if anyone gets restless, please feel very

welcome to walk about the church with them during the service.

Later in the service, everyone is invited to come to the altar to receive

communion or God’s blessing. All who are communicant members of this

or another church are welcome to receive communion. Please bow your

head to indicate if you would like a blessing.

During communion, the choir sings on behalf of the congregation; this

allows us the opportunity to think more deeply about our relationship

with God in our lives, through meditating on the words and music

chosen for the day. The mass setting today is Messe Cum Jubilo

(Duruflé).

After the service, refreshments are served in the East end of the

Church. Please feel very welcome to stay and enjoy, and if you have

not been to the church before, please do introduce yourself to one of

the clergy or churchwardens – we’d love to meet you.

Weekday Communion Services: Tuesday 12.00pm; Wednesday 12.00pm

(both Common Worship); Thursday 10.30am (BCP).

Silent Prayer is kept in the chapel on Fridays at 12.00 pm

The Parish is part of an Anglican Team with St John the Evangelist

Church in Grove Lane and St John the Baptist Kingston Vale, and also a

member of the Local Ecumenical Project with Union Street Baptist

Church and the United Reformed Church in Eden Street.

PLEASE KEEP YOUR BELONGINGS WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES

Order for a Family Service The choir will sing the Introit: Upon this Holy Eastertide (Eccard)

Upon this holy Eastertide, Let pain and grief be set aside,

Our bonds are rent asunder; God hath performed this wonder.

Come ye faithful from near and far, Give thanks and sing ye: Alleluya!

Now let us praise the risen Lord, Whose rising doth to us afford

Forgiveness and salvation Through every generation.

The Opening Hymn is 124. The Lord be with you, and also with you.

In a few moments of silence we remember before God the things we have done that are wrong, always remembering God’s readiness to forgive us and set us free from the mistakes of the past.

We say together...

Lord Jesus, we have said and thought and done things that were wrong. We wish that we had done better and are truly sorry. We ask you to forgive us and pray that you will help us to start again and be the people you want us to be. Amen

The Lord enrich you with his grace, and nourish you with his blessing; the Lord defend you in trouble and keep you from all evil; the Lord accept your prayers, and absolve you from your offences, for the sake of Jesus Christ, our Saviour. Amen.

The Gloria

We sing the Gloria. We all sing the lines in bold.

Glory to God, glory to God, glory to the Father. Glory to God, glory to God, glory to the Father. To him be glory for ever. To him be glory for ever. Alleluia, amen, Alleluia, amen, alleluia, amen, Alleluia, amen. Glory to God, glory to God, Son of the Father. Glory to God, glory to God, Son of the Father. To him be glory for ever. To him be glory for ever. Alleluia, amen, Alleluia, amen, alleluia, amen, Alleluia, amen.

Glory to God, glory to God, glory to the Spirit. Glory to God, glory to God, glory to the Spirit. To him be glory for ever. To him be glory for ever. Alleluia, amen, Alleluia, amen, alleluia, amen, Alleluia, amen. We say together the collect – the special prayer for this Sunday:

Almighty God as the sight of Jesus risen from dead encouraged the disciples to carry on his work so give us the sense that he is with us too that we may be strengthened to do your will and able to work for love and truth in the world through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

The first reading today is Acts 9:1-6

Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Now as he was going along and approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?’ He asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ The reply came, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. But get up and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.’

The Creed Let us declare our faith in God...

We believe in God the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named. We believe in God the Son, who lives in our hearts through faith, and fills us with his love. We believe in God the Holy Spirit, who strengthens us with power from on high. We believe in God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen We stand for A man there lived in Galilee (see laminated sheet). We stand and turn to face the centre of the church from where today’s Gospel is read.

The Gospel John 21:1-19 Hear the Gospel of our Lord according to John: Glory to you, O Lord. After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias; and he showed himself in this way. Gathered there together were Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples. Simon Peter said to them, ‘I am going fishing.’ They said to him, ‘We will go with you.’ They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

Just after daybreak, Jesus stood on the beach; but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, ‘Children, you have no fish, have you?’ They answered him, ‘No.’ He said to them, ‘Cast the net to the right side of the boat, and you will find some.’ So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in because there were so many fish. That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, ‘It is the Lord!’ When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on some clothes, for he was naked, and jumped into the lake. But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, only about a hundred yards off. When they had gone ashore, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, ‘Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.’ So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and though there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, ‘Come and have breakfast.’ Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, ‘Who are you?’ because they knew it was the Lord. Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after he was raised from the dead. When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my lambs.’ A second time he said to him, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Tend my sheep.’ He said to him the third time, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me?’ Peter felt hurt because he said to him the third time, ‘Do you love me?’ And he said to him, ‘Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my sheep. Very truly, I tell you, when you were younger, you used to fasten your own belt and to go wherever you wished. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten a belt around you and take you where you do not wish to go.’ (He said this to indicate the kind of death by which he would glorify God.) After this he said to him, ‘Follow me.’ This is the Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, O Christ.

The Talk

The talk today is given by the Rector, Jonathan Wilkes.

The Prayers of Intercession Lord, in your mercy Hear our prayer.

The Peace The peace of the Lord be always with you And also with you We offer one another a sign of peace.

After the Peace we sing the Offertory Hymn: Christ triumphant (please see laminated sheet) during which a collection is taken for the work of the church, and the bread and wine for the Eucharist are brought to the altar.

The Eucharistic Prayer

Yours, Lord, is the greatness, the power, The glory, the splendour, and the majesty; For everything in heaven and on earth is yours. All things come from you, And of your own do we give you. The Lord is here. His spirit is with us. Lift up your hearts We lift them to the Lord Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give thanks and praise.

It is right to praise you, Father; Lord of all creation; in your love you made us for yourself. When we turned away you did not reject us, but came to meet us in your Son. You embraced us as your children and welcomed us to sit and eat with you. In Christ you shared our life that we might live in him and he in us. He opened his arms of love upon the cross and made for all the perfect sacrifice for sin. On the night he was betrayed, at supper with his friends he took bread, and gave you thanks; he broke it and gave it to them, saying: Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me. Father we do this in remembrance of him: his body is the bread of life. At the end of supper, taking the cup of wine, he gave you thanks, and said: Drink this, all of you: this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for you for the forgiveness of sins: do this in remembrance of me. Father we do this in remembrance of him: his blood is shed for all. As we proclaim his death and celebrate his rising in glory, send your Holy Spirit that this bread and this wine may be to us the body and blood of your dear Son. As we eat and drink these holy gifts make us one in Christ, our risen Lord. With your whole church throughout the world we offer you this sacrifice of praise and lift our voice to join the eternal song of heaven:

Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus, Deus Sabaoth.

Pleni sunt cœli et terra Gloria tua.

Hosanna in excelsis.

Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.

Hosanna in excelsis.

Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,

heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest.

The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. We break this bread to share in the body of Christ. Though we are many, we are one body, because we all share in one bread.

Invitation to Communion

Everyone is welcome to come to the altar to receive a blessing or the bread and wine. Draw near with faith. Receive the body of our Lord Jesus Christ which he gave for you and his blood which he shed for you. Eat and drink in remembrance that he died for you, and feed on him in your hearts by faith with thanksgiving. Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem.

O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world,

have mercy upon us.

O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world,

have mercy upon us.

O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world,

grant us Thy peace.

While the congregation comes forward to receive Holy Communion the choir will sing If ye love me (Tallis).

If ye love me, keep my commandments.

And I will pray the Father,

and he will give you another Comforter,

that he may bide with you for ever;

e'en the Spirit of truth.

After Communion we say together: Living God your Son made himself known to the disciples in the breaking of the bread open the eyes of our faith that we may see him among us and be strengthened to do his will now and always. Amen

The Final Hymn is 349.

The Blessing Go in peace to Love and serve the Lord. In the name of Christ. Amen.
