Prayer after Communion:[a moment of silence]

All Father of all,we give you thanks and praise,that when we were still far offyou met us in your Son and brought us home.Dying and living, he declared your love,gave us grace, and opened the gate of glory.May we who share Christ’s body live his risen life;we who drink his cup bring life to others;we whom the Spirit lights give light to the world.Keep us firm in the hope you have set before us,so we and all your children shall be free,and the whole earth live to praise your name;through Christ our Lord.Amen.

The priest pronounces the Final Blessing

Notices After the notices we stand to sing the final song

- 2 -The Collect: Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness and to put on the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which your Son Jesus Christ came to us in great humility; that on the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Song: Your Love oh Lord (Psalm 36)Your love, oh LordReaches to the heavensYour faithfulness stretches to the skyYour righteousness is like the mighty mountainsYour justice flows like the ocean's tide

I will lift my voiceTo worship You, my KingI will find my strengthIn the shadow of your wings

New Testament Reading: Romans 13:8-14Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbour; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desiresThis is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Gradual Song: Amazing graceAmazing grace how sweet the sound

My chains are gone I've been set free

That saved a wretch like meI once was lost but now I'm foundWas blind but now I see

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fearAnd grace my fears relievedHow precious did that grace appearThe hour I first believed

My God my Savior has ransomed meAnd like a flood His mercy rainsUnending love amazing grace

(Continued overleaf)

The Lord has promised good to meHis word my hope securesHe will my shield and portion beAs long as life endures

The earth shall soon dissolve like snowThe sun forbear to shineBut God who called me here belowWill be forever mineYou are forever mine

The Gospel: St. Matthew 21:1-13Priest Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to St John.All Glory to you O Lord.Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,

“Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you,humble, and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”

The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.” And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers.” Priest This is the Gospel of the LordAll Praise to you, O Christ.The TalkThe Creed

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty,maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God,

eternally begotten of the Father,God from God, Light from Light,true God from true God,begotten, not made,of one Being with the Father;

- 7 -In the same way, after supper he took the cup and gave you thanks;he gave it to them, saying:

Drink this, all of you; this is my blood of the new covenant,which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins.Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.

All Amen.[a moment of silence]

Let us pray.All 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.

Agnus Dei

All Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world,have mercy on us.Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world,have mercy on us.Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world,grant us peace.

All We do not presume to come to this your table, O merciful Father,

trusting in our own righteousness, but in your manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under your table. But you are the same Lord, whose nature is always to have mercy. Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of your dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body and our souls washed through with his precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen.

The CommunionBaptized persons who are communicant members of other Churches which subscribe to the doctrine of the Holy Trinity and are in good standing in their own Church are welcome to Communion. Come forward with faith, hope, and charity, discerning the Lord’s body.Those who do not wish to receive communion are welcome to come forward for a blessing – you may indicate by crossing your arms over your chest at the altar rail.

- 4 -through him all things were made.For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven,was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Maryand was made man.For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;he suffered death and was buried.On the third day he rose againin accordance with the Scriptures;he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit,the Lord, the giver of life,who proceeds from the Father and the Son,who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified,who has spoken through the prophets.We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.We look for the resurrection of the dead,and the life of the world to come. Amen.

The Intercessions (we kneel or sit)

The intercessor prays: Lord, in your mercyWe respond: Hear our prayerAnd at the end: Merciful FatherWe all say: accept these prayers

for the sake of your Sonour Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

Confession and Absolution

Priest: God so loved the world that he gave his only Son Jesus Christto save us from our sins, to be our advocate in heaven,and to bring us to eternal life.

John 3:16Let us confess our sins in penitence and faith, firmly resolved to keep God’s commandments and to live in love and peace with all.

We pray the following after a moment of silence

- 5 -

All Almighty God, our heavenly Father,we have sinned against you and against our neighbourin thought and word and deed,through negligence, through weakness,through our own deliberate fault.We are truly sorry and repent of all our sins.For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, who died for us,forgive us all that is pastand grant that we may serve you in newness of lifeto the glory of your name. Amen.

The priest proclaims the Absolution – the assurance of God’s forgiveness

The Peace (we stand): The peace of the Lord be always with you.

We respond: and also with you.

We offer one another a sign of peace

Eucharistic Prayer The Lord be with you.

All And also with you.Lift up your hearts.

All We lift them to the Lord.Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

All It is right to give thanks and praise.It is indeed right, it is our duty and our joy,at all times and in all places to give you thanks and praise,holy Father, heavenly King, almighty and eternal God,through Jesus Christ our Lord.

For he is our great high priest, who has loosed us from our sinsand has made us to be a royal priesthood to you, our God and Father.

Therefore with angels and archangels, and with all the company of heaven,we proclaim your great and glorious name, for ever praising you and saying:

All Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the

highest.Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

(we kneel to pray)

All glory be to you, our heavenly Father,who, in your tender mercy, gave your only Son our Saviour Jesus Christto suffer death upon the cross for our redemption;who made there by his one oblation of himself once offereda full, perfect and sufficient sacrifice, oblation and satisfactionfor the sins of the whole world;he instituted, and in his holy gospel commanded us to continue,a perpetual memory of his precious death until he comes again.Hear us, merciful Father, we humbly pray,and grant that, by the power of your Holy Spirit,we receiving these gifts of your creation, this bread and this wine,according to your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ’s holy institution,in remembrance of his death and passion,may be partakers of his most blessed body and blood;who, in the same night that he was betrayed,

took bread and gave you thanks; he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying:

Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you;do this in remembrance of me.
