8:00am Holy Communion

The Order of Service is contained in the separate Service Book.

See below for Collect and Readings.

Post Communion Prayer

Holy Father,

who gathered us here around the table of your Son to share this meal with the whole household of God:

in that new world where you reveal the fullness of your peace, gather people of every race and language

to share in the eternal banquet of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

10:30am Family Service

¶ Gathering to worship God

Greeting

Let us worship God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Amen.

The Lord be with you and also with you.

This is the day which the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Hymn

1. In Christ there is no east or west,

in him no south or north, but one great fellowship of love

throughout the whole wide earth.

2. In him shall true hearts everywhere their high communion find;

his service is the golden cord, close binding humankind.

3. Join hands, then, children of the faith,

whate' er your race may be; who serves my Father as his child

is surely kin to me.

4. In Christ now meet both east and west, in him meet south and north;

all Christlike souls are one in him, throughout the whole wide earth.

Words: John Oxenham (William Arthur Dunkerley) (1852-1941) Music: Kilmarnock, melody, and most of the harmony, by Neill Dougall (1776-1862)

Opening Prayer

Lord, direct our thoughts, and teach us to pray. Lift up our hearts to worship you in spirit and in truth,

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Silence is kept and the collect, the prayer for the day, is said.

Almighty God, who sent your Holy Spirit

to be the life and light of your Church: open our hearts to the riches of your grace,

that we may bring forth the fruit of the Spirit in love and joy and peace;

through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

¶ Saying Sorry to God God our Father, we come to you in sorrow for our sins.

For turning away from you, and ignoring your will for our lives; Father, forgive us:

save us and help us.

For behaving just as we wish, without thinking of you; Father, forgive us:


For failing you by what we do, and think and say; Father, forgive us:


For letting ourselves be drawn away from you by temptations in the world about us;

Father, forgive us: save us and help us.

For living as if we were ashamed to belong to your Son;

Father, forgive us: save us and help us.

The president declares God’s forgiveness

Hymn

You are the King of glory, you are the Prince of Peace,

you are the Lord of heaven and earth, you’re the Son of righteousness.

Angels bow down before you, worship and adore,

for you have the words of eternal life, you are Jesus Christ the Lord.

Hosanna to the Son of David! Hosanna to the King of kings!

Glory in the highest heaven for Jesus the Messiah reigns!

Hosanna to the Son of David!

Hosanna to the King of kings! Glory in the highest heaven

for Jesus the Messiah reigns!

¶ Hearing and responding to the Word of God

After each reading this response is used

This is the word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

First Reading – Isaiah 56.1,6-8

Thus says the LORD: Maintain justice, and do what is right, for soon my salvation will

come, and my deliverance be revealed. And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD, to minister to him, to love the name of the LORD, and to be his

servants, all who keep the sabbath, and do not profane it, and hold fast my covenant – these I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my

house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples. Thus says the Lord GOD, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, I will gather others to them besides those already

gathered.

Second Reading – Romans 11.1-2a,29-32

I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his

people whom he foreknew. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. Just as you were once disobedient to God but have now received mercy because of their

disobedience, so they have now been disobedient in order that, by the mercy shown to you, they too may now receive mercy. For God has imprisoned all in disobedience

so that he may be merciful to all.

Hymn

1. Be still, for the presence of the Lord, the Holy One, is here;

come bow before him now with reverence and fear:

in him no sin is found – we stand on holy ground.

Be still, for the presence of the Lord, the Holy One is here.

2. Be still, for the glory of the Lord is shining all around;

he burns with holy fire, with splendour he is crowned:

how awesome is the sight – our radiant King of light!

Be still, for the glory of the Lord is shining all around.

3. Be still, for the power of the Lord

is moving in this place: he comes to cleanse and heal,

to minister his grace. No work too hard for him,

in faith receive from him. Be still, for the power of the Lord

is moving in this place.

Words & Music: David J Evans (b 1957) © 1986 worshiptogether.com songs (Ancient & Modern – 358)

Gospel – Matthew 15.21-28

Jesus went away to the district of Tyre and Sidon. A Canaanite woman from that region came out and started shouting, ‘Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is

tormented by a demon.’ But he did not answer her at all. And his disciples came and urged him, saying, ‘Send her away, for she keeps shouting after us.’ He answered, ‘I was

sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.’ But she came and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, help me.’ He answered, ‘It is not fair to take the children's food and throw

it to the dogs.’ She said, ‘Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.’ Then Jesus answered her, ‘Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for

you as you wish.‘ And her daughter was healed instantly.

Affirmation of Faith

Do you believe and trust in God the Father,

source of all being and life, the one for whom we exist?

We believe and trust in him.

Do you believe and trust in God the Son, who took our human nature,

died for us and rose again? We believe and trust in him.

7

Do you believe and trust in God the Holy Spirit,

who gives life to the people of God and makes Christ known in the world?

We believe and trust in him.

This is the faith of the Church. This is our faith.

We believe and trust in one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Prayers of Intercession

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.

Final Hymn

1. Jesus is Lord! Creation’s voice proclaims it, for by his power each tree and flower was planned and made.

Jesus is Lord! The universe declares it, sun, moon and stars in heaven cry: Jesus is Lord!

Jesus is Lord! Jesus is Lord! praise him with Alleluias, for Jesus is Lord!

2. Jesus is Lord! Yet from his throne eternal

in flesh he came to die in pain on Calvary’s tree. Jesus is Lord! From him all life proceeding,

yet gave his life a ransom, thus setting us free:

3. Jesus is Lord! O’er sin the mighty conqueror, from death he rose; and all his foes shall own his name.

Jesus is Lord! God sends his Holy Spirit to show by works of power that Jesus is Lord:

¶ Going out to serve God

May the Father, who has loved the eternal Son from before the foundation of the world, shed that love upon you his children.

Amen.

May Christ, who by his incarnation gathered into one things earthly and heavenly,

fill you with joy and peace. Amen.

May the Holy Spirit, by whose overshadowing Mary became the God-bearer,

give you grace to carry the good news of Christ. Amen.

And the blessing of God almighty,

the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among you and remain with you always.

Amen.

6:00pm Evensong

The Order of Service begins on page 58 of the Prayer Book, and the hymns are taken from New English Hymnal.

Opening Hymn 114 – Now is eternal life

Psalm 90.1-12 domine refugium G C Martin

1 Lord thou hast | been our | refuge : from | one ∙ gener- | ation ∙ to a- | nother.

2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever the earth and the | world were | made :

thou art God from ever- | lasting ∙ and | world with-out | end.

3 Thou turnest | man ∙ to de- | struction : again thou sayest, * Come a- | gain ye | children ∙ of | men.

4 For a thousand years in thy sight are | but as | yesterday : seeing that is | past ∙ as a | watch in ∙ the | night.
