8:00am Holy Communion

10:30am Parish Communion*

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

Processional Hymn*

1. Let all the world in every corner sing, my God and King.

The heavens are not too high, his praise may thither fly:

the earth is not too low, his praises there may grow. Let all the world in every corner sing,

my God and King.

2. Let all the world in every corner sing, my God and King.

The Church with psalms must shout, no door can keep them out;

but above all, the heart must bear the longest part, Let all the world in every corner sing,

my God and King.

Words: George Herbert (1593-1633) Music: Luckington, Basil Harwood (1859-1949)

(Ancient & Modern – 704)

Collect

Eternal Father, whose Son Jesus Christ ascended to the throne of heaven that he might rule over all things as Lord and King:

keep the Church in the unity of the Spirit and in the bond of peace,

and bring the whole created order to worship at his feet; who is alive and reigns with you,

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

First Reading – Daniel 7.9-10,13-14*

As I watched, thrones were set in place, and an Ancient One took his throne; his

clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, and its wheels were burning fire. A stream of fire issued and flowed out

Page 4: Services in the Team today: nts Oakhamoakhamteam.uk/docs/pewsheet/2018/201811/20181125/... · his praise may thither fly: the earth is not too low, his praises there may grow. Let

from his presence. A thousand thousand served him, and ten thousand times ten

thousand stood attending him. The court sat in judgement, and the books were opened. As I watched in the night visions, I saw one like a human being coming with

the clouds of heaven. And he came to the Ancient One and was presented before him. To him was given dominion and glory and kingship, that all peoples, nations, and

languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away, and his kingship is one that shall never be destroyed.

Second Reading – Revelation 1.4b-8

Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and

from the seven spirits who are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him

who loves us and freed us from our sins by his blood, and made us to be a kingdom, priests serving his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Look! He is coming with the clouds; every eye will see him, even those who

pierced him; and on his account all the tribes of the earth will wail. So it is to be. Amen. ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega’, says the Lord God, who is and who was and

who is to come, the Almighty.

Gradual Hymn*

1. Christ is alive! Let Christians sing.

The cross stands empty to the sky. Let streets and homes with praises ring.

Love, drowned in death, shall never die.

2. Christ is alive! No longer bound to distant years in Palestine,

but saving, healing, here and now, and touching every place and time.

3. In every insult, rift and war,

where colour, scorn or wealth divide, Christ suffers still, yet loves the more,

and lives, where even hope has died.

4. Women and men, in age and youth, can feel the Spirit, hear the call,

and find the way, the life, the truth, revealed in Jesus, freed for all.

5. Christ is alive, and comes to bring

good news to this and every age, till earth and sky and ocean ring

with joy, with justice, love and praise.

Words: Brian Wren (b 1936) Music: Truro, Psalmodia Evangelica, 1789

Gospel – John 18.33-37

Pilate asked Jesus, ‘Are you the King of the Jews?’ Jesus answered, ‘Do you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?’ Pilate replied, ‘I am not a Jew, am I? Your

own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?’ Jesus answered, ‘My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this

world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.’ Pilate asked him, ‘So you are a king?’ Jesus

answered, ‘You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.’

Offertory Hymn*

1. Thou didst leave thy throne and thy kingly crown,

when thou earnest to earth for me; but in Bethlehem's home was there found no room

for thy holy nativity: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus;

there is room in my heart for thee.

2. Heaven’s arches rang when the angels sang, proclaiming thy royal degree;

but in lowly birth didst thou come to earth, and in great humility:

3. The foxes found rest, and the bird had its nest

in the shade of the cedar tree; but thy couch was the sod, O thou Son of God,

in the desert of Galilee:

4. Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word that should set thy people free;

but with mocking scorn and with crown of thorn they bore thee to Calvary:

5. When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing,

at thy coming to victory, let thy voice call me home, saying, ‘Yet there is room,

there is room at my side for thee:’

Words: Emily Elizabeth Steele Elliott (1836-1897) Music: Margaret, Timothy Richard Matthews (1826-1910) (A&M – 811)

Communion Hymns*

1. King of kings, majesty,

God of heaven living in me. Gentle Saviour, closest Friend,

Strong Deliverer, Beginning and End, all within me falls at your throne.

Your majesty, I can but bow;

I lay my all before you now. In royal robes I don’t deserve,

I live to serve your majesty.

2. Earth and heaven worship you,

love eternal, faithful and true, who bought the nations, ransomed souls,

brought this sinner near to your throne; all within me cries out in praise.

Words & Music: Jarrod Cooper © 1998 Sovereign Lifestyle Music

(Ancient & Modern – 700)

Jesus, remember me

when you come into your kingdom. Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.

(Ancient & Modern – 838)

Post Communion Prayer

Stir up, O Lord,

the wills of your faithful people; that they, plenteously bringing forth the fruit of good works,

may by you be plenteously rewarded; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Final Hymn*

1. Christ triumphant, ever reigning, Saviour, Master, King!

Lord of heaven, our lives sustaining, hear us as we sing:

Yours the glory and the crown,

the high renown, the eternal name!

2. Word incarnate, truth revealing, Son of Man on earth!

Power and majesty concealing by your humble birth:

3. Suffering servant, scorned, ill-treated, victim crucified!

death is through the cross defeated, sinners justified:

4. Priestly King, enthroned for ever

high in heaven above! sin and death and hell shall never

stifle hymns of love:

5. So, our hearts and voices raising through the ages long.

ceaselessly upon you gazing, this shall be our song:

Words: Michael Saward (b 1932)

Autumn Sale 2018

It is a great pleasure to be able to say what a successful Autumn Sale we have

had at Oakham this year. We began our planning with the joint aims of offering a welcoming morning in the church to the

local community, whilst at the same time raising much needed funds for All Saints.

The comments received seem to say that the event was hugely enjoyed by

volunteers and visitors alike, and the total raised so far is in excess of £2100.

A big thank-you to anyone who, in any way, has contributed to this. We will

publish a final total in the near future when all monies have been collected in.

Autumn Sale Steering Group.

be the lucky winners of three unclaimed raffle prizes. Please can you check your

pockets and bags to see if you still have the tickets, so you could come into

Christingle

Part of the run up to Christmas is Christingle, which is on Sunday 9th

December at 4pm; and part of the excitement is making the Christingles

on Saturday 8th Deember at 2pm in the Mayhew Room. It is always fun. Please come and join us if you would

like to.

Mrs Mary Willows

Revd Iain Osborne has been in touch

with Mary’s family, who want to pass on her thanks for our prayers in her

recent poor health. Please keep praying, and she also greatly appreciates

cards and letters (she is in Belton House Retirement Home, Littleworth Lane, Belton In Rutland, Oakham, LE15

9JZ). However, Mary is too tired to cope with people, so we are asked not

to telephone or visit. Mary’s family request that, if you want to hear

further news of Mary, you should speak to Iain; but do not contact the home

directly.

Rutland Foodbank

donations this Advent. Also, do have a look at the Foodbank’s Facebook page.

Rutland Foodbank

Christmas Hampers

Once again, Rutland Foodbank will be

giving Christmas Hampers to those in our county who may struggle to buy those small luxuries that make Christmas

a celebration. The hampers will include mince pies, Christmas puddings,

chocolates and even family games. We are seeking cash donations. £20 will

sponsor one hamper but any amount is welcome – cheques made payable to

'Rutland Foodbank'. Donations can be made to the Team Office at Oakham, or

via team ministers in the villages, by early December if possible.

Friends Visit to Gates

Garden Centre

It has been decided to bring the visit to

Gates forward to Thursday 6th December, rather than February when

it might be very icy and cold and difficult for driving. We aim to meet at

10:30am in the coffee shop for tea/coffee and cake and a good chat,

before having a browse through the Christmas shop and other areas. There

will be a sign-up sheet at the South Door, just for us to gauge numbers, so

please sign up if you would like to come along. Please indicate whether

you would like a lift.

Braunston Living

Advent Calendar

We plan to transform 24 (or more) of

our houses into a real-life Advent calendar, 'unveiling' a new street-facing

window/s each night during December.

Volunteers will be given a number

between 1 and 24, and will light up their window on that date and keep it

lit during the hours of darkness until after Christmas. More details from

Karen Allen (07961 050077 / [email protected]).

Braunston Repairs Appeal

Braunston church needs urgent repairs to make it watertight, repair crumbling

masonry and replace access ladders inside the tower. The total cost is estimated at £54,000! Existing church

funds, grants pending and initial donations already total £24,000

meaning we need to raise a further £30,000 or just £24,000 if all remaining

donations are gift aided. Much more information is on display inside the

church. Although the cost looks a lot, if we don't do this work soon we will

have a much higher bill and keeping our thousand-year old church usable will

become a real challenge. For more details or to make a donation contact

Rob Anderson on [email protected].

Carols for the

Housebound

The recently formed and flourishing Sunday Night Youth Group would like

to come to sing carols to any who are housebound early one evening before

Christmas. If you have names to suggest of those who would appreciate
