The image on the front of the bulletin is a photograph of the Consecration stone of St.

James’. You will find the stone set into the wood paneling below the ‘epistle ‘ lectern.

The stone is a piece of the fabric of Canterbury Cathedral, presented to Fr. Cooper by

the Dean-Chapter of the Cathedral. It was carved by parishioner George Buxton. In the

wall behind the stone is a fragment of St. Augustine’s oak, the English tree beneath

which the Saint met the Celtic bishops in A.D. 603. -Father Michael

A Reflection

A reading from a homily by Origen (c. 185 – c. 254):

Each of our souls contains a well of living water. Within it is buried the image of God. It

is this same well that the hostile powers of the universe have blocked up with earth. But

now that our Isaac has appeared - I mean Christ - so let us welcome his coming and dig

out our wells, clearing out the earth and cleansing them of all impurities. In spite of all

the accumulated pollution, we shall find in them living water, water of which the Lord

says: "Those who believe in me, out of their belly shall flow streams of living water."

For the Word of God is present there, within us, and his work is to remove the earth

from the soul of each of us, to let the springs of water within gush free. This spring is

within you and does not come from outside, for "the kingdom of God is within you." Or

to give another analogy from Scripture, the woman who had lost her silver coin found it

not outside but inside her house. She lit her lamp, swept out the house, and there she

found the silver coin. For your part, if you light your "lamp," if you make use of the

illumination of the Holy Spirit, if "you see light in his light," then you too will find the

silver coin within you. For the image of our heavenly king is within us.

When God created human beings in the beginning, he made them "in his own image

and likeness." He does not imprint this image exteriorly on us, but within us. It could

not be seen in you as long as your house was dirty, full of junk and rubbish. But once

you let the Word of God clear the great pile of earth that is weighing down your soul,

then the image of the heavenly king will again shine out in you.

The maker of this image is the Son of God. And he is a craftsman of such surpassing

skill that though his image may indeed become obscured by our neglect, it can never be

destroyed by evil. The image of God always remains within you.

several people to ensure that someone is always

available. Please contact Mother Jessica ASAP at

OLD TESTAMENT READING Be seated

Reader A reading from the Second Book of Samuel.

When the wife of Uriah heard that her husband was dead, she made lamentation for

him. When the mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and she

became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the

Lord, and the Lord sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him, "There were

two men in a certain city, the one rich and the other poor. The rich man had very many

flocks and herds; but the poor man had nothing but one little ewe lamb, which he had

bought. He brought it up, and it grew up with him and with his children; it used to eat

of his meagre fare, and drink from his cup, and lie in his bosom, and it was like a

daughter to him. Now there came a traveller to the rich man, and he was loath to take

one of his own flock or herd to prepare for the wayfarer who had come to him, but he

took the poor man's lamb, and prepared that for the guest who had come to him." Then

David's anger was greatly kindled against the man. He said to Nathan, "As the Lord

CLINTON HALL DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

In June the Parish Council recommended to the

Board of Trustees the concept of developing the

space occupied by the Parish (aka Clinton) Hall,

Bishops’ Room, flower room, vestry and offices into

a multi-level building to create revenue and to en-

hance the ministry of St. James'. At the July 24th meeting of the Board of

Trustees the following motion was passed:

"The Trustees establish a committee to be known as

the Predevelopment Committee to examine the

feasibility of redeveloping the space occupied by

Clinton Heritage Hall and report to the Trustees."

That Committee has been appointed, and at its first

meeting the group decided that Hugh McLean and

Pamela Jeacocke would act as co-chairs, Doug

Ibbott as process facilitator, and Betty Carlson as

communication liaison. The other appointees to the

PDC are: Kathy Walker, Brian Strehler, John Clark,

Leslie Arnovik, David Agler, and John Van Luven.

As well, the

committee will have representation at its meetings

from a member of the clergy and a warden, or

another member of the Board of Trustees.

Reports from the Committee will be regularly

communicated in the church bulletin and at

Parish Council meetings (the next one is on

October 20). Parishioners are encouraged to address

questions, suggestions and concerns using the

following:

• by email to [email protected]

• in writing to the office directed to the PDC

• representation (by request to the Parish

Council Chair) from any group, ministry or

mission objective leader

At this time donations are being sought to fund

the predevelopment expenses, estimated to be

$25,000 per year for a two year period.

Donations should be payable to the St. James'

Parish Foundation, marked Predevelopment Fund

(PDF). Official tax receipts will be issued for all

donations.

Please keep the members of the PDC in your

prayers, that they may have the wisdom,

dedication and focus to honour our Vision

Statement, “to discover the beauty of holiness in

our lives and neighbourhood.”

JULIAN GATHERING

lives, the man who has done this deserves to die; he shall restore the lamb fourfold,

because he did this thing, and because he had no pity." Nathan said to David, "You are

the man! Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I anointed you king over Israel, and I

rescued you from the hand of Saul; I gave you your master's house, and your master's

wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had

been too little, I would have added as much more. Why have you despised the word of

the Lord, to do what is evil in his sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the

sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of

the Ammonites. Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house, for you

have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife. Thus says

the Lord: I will raise up trouble against you from within your own house; and I will take

your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbour, and he shall lie with your

wives in the sight of this very sun. For you did it secretly; but I will do this thing before

all Israel, and before the sun." David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the Lord."

THE EPISTLE READING

Sub-deacon A reading from the Letter of Paul to the Ephesians.

I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which

you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one

another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of

peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your

calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and

through all and in all. But each of us was given grace according to the measure of

Christ's gift. Therefore it is said, "When he ascended on high he made captivity itself a

captive; he gave gifts to his people." (When it says, "He ascended," what does it mean but

that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is the

same one who ascended far above all the heavens, so that he might fill all things.) The

gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some

pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the

body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the

Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ. We must no longer

be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people's

trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming. But speaking the truth in love, we

must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole

body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part

is working properly, promotes the body's growth in building itself up in love. Ephesians 4:1-16

Sub-deacon The word of the Lord. lllAll Thanks be to God.

ALLELUIA A cantor begins the alleluia; all repeat it thereafter. Stand

Alleluia. O Lord God of my salvation: I have cried day and night before thee. Alleluia.

THE HOLY GOSPEL All stand and turn to face the book of the Gospels

When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got

into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus. When they found him on the

other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?" Jesus answered

them, "Very truly, I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw signs, but

because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the

food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it is on him

that God the Father has set his seal." Then they said to him, "What must we do to

perform the works of God?" Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you

believe in him whom he has sent." So they said to him, "What sign are you going to give

us then, so that we may see it and believe you? What work are you performing? Our

ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, 'He gave them bread from

heaven to eat.'" Then Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who

gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from

heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to

the world." They said to him, "Sir, give us this bread always." Jesus said to them, "I am

the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in

me will never be thirsty." John 6:24-35

All Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Maker of all things and judge of all people:

We acknowledge and confess our manifold sins and wickedness,

Which we from time to time most grievously have committed,

By thought, word, and deed, Against thy divine majesty.

We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings.

Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father;

For thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake,

Forgive us all that is past;

And grant that we may ever hereafter Serve and please thee

In newness of life,

To the honour and glory of thy name;

Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Kneel

Celebrant All glory be to thee, O Lord our God, who didst make us in thine own image; and, of thy

tender mercy, didst give thine only Son Jesus Christ to take our nature upon him, and to

suffer death upon the cross for our redemption. He made there a full and perfect

sacrifice for the whole world; and did institute, and in his holy Gospel command us to

continue, a perpetual memory of that his precious death and sacrifice, until his coming

again;

who, in the same night that he was betrayed, took bread; and, when he had given thanks

to thee, 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.” +

Likewise, after supper, he took the cup; and when he had given thanks,

he gave it to them, saying, “Drink this, all of you; for this is my blood of the new

covenant, which is shed for you and for many, for the remission of sins:

Do this, as oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me.” +

Wherefore, O Lord and heavenly Father, we thy people do celebrate and make, with

these thy holy gifts which we now offer unto thee, the memorial thy Son hath

commanded us to make; having in remembrance his blessed passion and precious

death, his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension; and looking for his coming again

with power and great glory.

And we most humbly beseech thee, O merciful Father, to hear us, and, with thy Word

and Holy Spirit, to bless and sanctify these gifts of bread and wine, that they may be

unto us the body and blood of thy dearly-beloved Son Jesus Christ. lllAll We praise thee, we bless thee, we thank thee and we pray to thee,

Lord our God.

Celebrant And we earnestly desire thy fatherly goodness to accept this our sacrifice of praise and

thanksgiving, whereby we offer and present unto thee, O Lord, ourselves, our souls and

bodies. Grant, we beseech thee, that all who partake of this holy communion may

worthily receive the most precious body and blood of thy Son Jesus Christ, and be filled

with thy grace + and heavenly benediction; and also that we and all thy whole Church

may be made one body with him, that he may dwell in us, and we in him; through the

same Jesus Christ our Lord;

By whom, and with whom, and in whom, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honour and

glory be unto thee, O Father Almighty, world without end. lllAll Amen.
