Smile: A pregnant woman got into a car accident and falls into a deep coma. Asleep for
nearly 6 months, when she wakes up she sees that she is no longer pregnant and
frantically asks the doctor about her baby. The doctor replies, "Ma'am you had twins! a
boy and a girl. Your brother from Maryland came in and named them." The woman
thinks to herself, "No, not my brother... he's an idiot!" She asks the doctor, "Well, what's
the girl's name?" "Denise." "Wow, that's not a bad name, I like it! What's the boy's
name?" "Denephew."

O God, the King of glory, you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph
to your kingdom in heaven: Do not leave us comfortless, but send your Holy Spirit to
strengthen us, and exalt us to that place where our Saviour Christ has gone before: who
lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
Prayer for Mothers
Heavenly Father, we thank you for the gift of home and family; especially those who are
given the joy of motherhood. We thank you for love and kindness, the sacrifice and
devotion of our mothers. Make us always appreciative of the many things our mothers
have done, and continue to do for us their children. Bless the work and contribution made
by women in our society, protect them from harm and injury, and remove from them any
abuse which they may suffer as they fulfill their duties. Help us to support them in the
efforts to make life better for us. Give to them health and happiness in their pursuit of life.
Amen.

Letter from the Rector
Dear Members,
Retiring Collection
Special thanks to those persons who contributed to our Building Fund with special
emphasis on the recent repairs to the Church roof.
I know that other persons were unable to contribute to the collection which was done in
April. You might not have attended church on that occasion, or might have forgotten to
bring your donation. An opportunity will be provided on the last Sunday of this month, 26
May for another Collection.
I look forward to all members making a special contribution to this work.
Offering Envelopes for 2014
The Church Council has made a decision to use only monthly envelopes from next year.
This means that we are discontinuing with weekly envelopes. A number of reasons have
resulted in this decision:-
1. The cost of the envelopes.
2. The cost of bulk postage from the USA.
3. The monthly envelopes will be cheaper to produce and to post.
4. The wastage of these envelopes, with many of them left unused every year.
5. Persons in many cases have been using one for the month, and leaving the others empty
and attached to the one which carries the money.
It is hoped that we all would be able to make a calculation of the exact monthly figure.
Multiply your weekly contribution by five (5) and come to your final figure.
I am suggesting that persons use the facility offered by Government, through the Inland
Revenue to claim on their income tax, and benefit from any refunds which are available.
We are seeking to be more efficient and more cost effective through this venture.
Supper
Tickets are available for the Supper which will be held on Saturday 08 June 2013. The
Supper List is also available for members to indicate what items they will be contributing
to this event.
Please note that the Food Handling Certificates for persons who will be working at the
Supper are needed by Sunday 19 May 2013 in order to apply for the Restaurant Licence.

Father and himself. This is the closing of what has been called Jesus’ high priestly
prayer. The unity for which he asks reaches deeper than outward signs or human
comprehension. It is the oneness of the Father’s love in the Son and of the Son in the
Father. This love Jesus has made known and it indwells his followers. Their unity will be
a witness to the world. Jesus prays that his disciples may behold and share in the glory
given to him through the Father’s love before the world began.
FIRST LESSON: FIRST LESSON: FIRST LESSON: FIRST LESSON: Acts: 16:16-34
As we (Paul and his travelling companions) were going to the place of prayer, we were
met by a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners much gain by
soothsaying. She followed Paul and us, crying, "These men are servants of the Most High
God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation." And this she did for many days. But
Paul was annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I charge you in the name of Jesus
Christ to come out of her." And it came out that very hour. But when her owners saw that
their hope of gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the market
place before the rulers; and when they had brought them to the magistrates they said,
"These men are Jews and they are disturbing our city. They advocate customs which it is
not lawful for us Romans to accept or practice." The crowd joined in attacking them; and
the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders to beat them with rods. And
when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, charging the
jailer to keep them safely. Having received this charge, he put them into the inner prison
and fastened their feet in the stocks. But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and
singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, and suddenly there was a
great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all
the doors were opened and every one's fetters were unfastened. When the jailer woke and
saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself,
supposing that the prisoners had escaped. But Paul cried with a loud voice, "Do not harm
yourself, for we are all here." And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with
fear he fell down before Paul and Silas, and brought them out and said, "Men, what must I
do to be saved?" And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you
and your household." And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in
his house. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their wounds, and he
was baptized at once, with all his family. Then he brought them up into his house, and set
food before them; and he rejoiced with all his household that he had believed in God.
PSALM: PSALM: PSALM: PSALM: 47 (as found in Hymns Ancient & Modern)
1. O CLAP your hand together, all ye people : O sing unto God with the voice of melody.
2. For the Lord is high, and to be feared : he is the great King upon all the earth.
3. He shall subdue the people under us : and the nations under our feet.
4. He shall choose out an heritage for us : even the worship of Jacob, whom he loved.
5. God is gone up with a merry noise : and the Lord with the sound of the trump.
6. O sing praises, sing praises unto our God : O sing praises, sing praises unto our King.
7. For God is the King of all the earth : sing ye praises with understanding.
8. God reigneth over the heathen : God sitteth upon his holy seat.
9. The princes of the people are joined unto the people of the God of Abraham: for God,
which is very high exalted, doth defend the earth, as it were with a shield.
SECOND LESSON: SECOND LESSON: SECOND LESSON: SECOND LESSON: Revelation 22:12-14, 16-17, 20
"Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense, to repay every one for what he has
done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end."
Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and
that they may enter the city by the gates. "I Jesus have sent my angel to you with this
testimony for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning

Bidding Prayer
In unity of faith, let us pray for the Church and for the world.
Come in mercy to the Church, that her members may be made one, for the purity of her
worship and the strengthening of her witness to the gospel…May all Christian people be
ministers of the divine glory.
We pray for the peace of the world, for the harmony of races and nations…We pray that
all people shall come to know the Lord and find their peace in him.
As we have received the gift of faith, help us to share it with those who are near to us…
May the powerful love of God be the support of our families and friends and of all in this
community.
Have mercy on people and communities torn apart by religious conflict…Heal their
divisions and unite them in mutual love.
We pray for those who have come to the end of their journey in this world…Grant them
to be with the Lord they have loved and to see his glory.
May our prayers be accepted through Christ, who calls us to be one in him. Amen.
Dedication Prayer (To be said after the Post Communion Prayer) Lord, be with us this day and throughout the week; Within us to purify us; Above us to
draw us up; Before us to lead us; Behind us to restrain us; Around us to protect us.
Amen.

star." The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." And let him who hears say, "Come." And let
him who is thirsty come, let him who desires take the water of life without price. He who
testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
THE GOSPEL: THE GOSPEL: THE GOSPEL: THE GOSPEL: John 17:20-26
As Jesus’ prayer continued he said, "I do not pray for these only, but also for those who
believe in me through their word, that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me,
and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent
me. The glory which thou hast given me I have given to them, that they may be one even
as we are one, I in them and thou in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the
world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them even as thou hast loved me.
Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, to
behold my glory which thou hast given me in thy love for me before the foundation of the
world. O righteous Father, the world has not known thee, but I have known thee; and
these know that thou hast sent me. I made known to them thy name, and I will make it
known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them."
