Gloria

1. Glory be to God in heaven,

and to all on earth, his peace;

Lord and Father, King in glory,

gifts of praise in us release,

so our worship and thanksgiving

from our hearts will never cease.

2. Christ incarnate, sent by Father

to redeem, renew, restore;

risen Lamb, in glory seated,

hear our prayers, Lord, we implore.

Now to Father, Son and Spirit

be all glory evermore.

Words: John Richards (1843-1901) Music: Regent Square, Henry Thomas Smart (1813-1879) (Mission Praise – 175)

Collect Lord, you have taught us

that all our doings without love are nothing worth:

send your Holy Spirit

and pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of love,

the true bond of peace and of all virtues,

without which whoever lives is counted dead before you.

Grant this for your only Son Jesus Christ’s sake,

who is alive and reigns with you,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever. Amen.

First Reading – 1 Kings 17.17-24*

While Elijah was living in Zarephath; The son of the woman, the mistress of the house,

became ill; his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him. She then said to

Elijah, ‘What have you against me, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin

to remembrance, and to cause the death of my son!’ But he said to her, ‘Give me your

son.’ He took him from her bosom, carried him up into the upper chamber where he

was lodging, and laid him on his own bed. He cried out to the LORD, ‘O LORD my God,

have you brought calamity even upon the widow with whom I am staying, by killing her

son?’ Then he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried out to the LORD,

‘O LORD my God, let this child’s life come into him again.’ The LORD listened to the

voice of Elijah; the life of the child came into him again, and he revived. Elijah took the

child, brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and gave him to his

mother; then Elijah said, ‘See, your son is alive.’ So the woman said to Elijah, ‘Now I know

that you are a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is truth.’

Second Reading – Galatians 1.11-24

I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel that was proclaimed by me

is not of human origin; for I did not receive it from a human source, nor was I taught

it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. You have heard, no doubt, of

my earlier life in Judaism. I was violently persecuting the church of God and was

trying to destroy it. I advanced in Judaism beyond many among my people of the

same age, for I was far more zealous for the traditions of my ancestors. But when

God, who had set me apart before I was born and called me through his grace, was

pleased to reveal his Son to me, so that I might proclaim him among the Gentiles, I

did not confer with any human being, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who

were already apostles before me, but I went away at once into Arabia, and

afterwards I returned to Damascus. Then after three years I did go up to Jerusalem

to visit Cephas and stayed with him for fifteen days; but I did not see any other

apostle except James the Lord’s brother. In what I am writing to you, before God, I

do not lie! Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia, and I was still unknown

by sight to the churches of Judea that are in Christ; they only heard it said, ‘The one

who formerly was persecuting us is now proclaiming the faith he once tried to

destroy.’ And they glorified God because of me.

Gradual Hymn

1. Beauty for brokenness,

hope for despair,

Lord, in your suffering world

this is our prayer.

Bread for the children,

justice, joy, peace,

sunrise to sunset

your kingdom increase!

2. Shelter for fragile lives,

cures for their ills,

work for the craftsmen,

trade for their skills.

Land for the dispossessed,

rights for the weak,

voices to plead the cause

of those who can’t speak.

5

God of the poor,

friend of the weak,

give us compassion, we pray,

melt our cold hearts,

let tears fall like rain.

Come, change our love from a spark

to a flame.

3. Refuge from cruel wars,

havens from fear,

cities for sanctuary,

freedoms to share.

Peace to the killing fields,

scorched earth to green,

Christ for the bitterness,

his cross for the pain.

4. Rest for the ravaged earth,

oceans and streams,

plundered and poisoned,

our future, our dreams.

Lord, end our madness,

carelessness, greed;

make us content with

the things that we need.

God of the poor …

5. Lighten our darkness,

breathe on this flame,

until your justice

burns brightly again;

until the nations

learn of your ways,

seek your salvation

and bring you their praise.

God of the poor …

Gospel – Luke 7.11-17

Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him. As

he approached the gate of the town, a man who had died was being carried out. He

was his mother’s only son, and she was a widow; and with her was a large crowd from

the town. When the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, ‘Do not

weep.’ Then he came forward and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he

said, ‘Young man, I say to you, rise!’ The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus

gave him to his mother. Fear seized all of them; and they glorified God, saying, ‘A great

prophet has risen among us!’ and ‘God has looked favourably on his people!’ This word

about him spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding country.

Post Communion Prayer

Loving Father, we thank you for feeding us at the supper of your Son:

sustain us with your Spirit,

that we may serve you here on earth

until our joy is complete in heaven,

and we share in the eternal banquet

with Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

What’s New on the

Website?

If you haven’t looked at the Team

website recently, you may not be

aware that it has a lot of up-to-date

information about what’s going on and

the latest news, so if you miss the

pewsheet for any reason you can

always catch up on the website. The

current editions of the Pewsheet and

the Good News magazine are also

available to view or download, as is an

archive of previous editions.

A recent addition is the Pictorial

Calendar of Festivals and Saints,

originally created by Matthew Allen

for Whissendine Church, and now

available on the website as a resource

for prayer. There is information about

church activities and groups, and the

site currently has well over 100 pages

as well as regular news posts, so visit

www.oakhamteam.org.uk and have a

browse!

Clock Restoration

Appeal

A fundraising appeal to preserve the

historic clock in Oakham church tower

has been launched with a front page

article in the Rutland Mercury. The clock

is an important timepiece, installed in

1858 by Dent & Co, widely regarded as

the finest clockmaker in 19th century

Britain, and is now in need of restoration

and upgrading. For more details about

the clock and the appeal please see the

website.

Braunston Church

Roof Alarm Appeal –

Update

The church roof alarm is now fully and

continuously operational – if it detects

anyone on the roof a loud alarm is

activated for as long as anyone is present

on the roof. The alarm is connected to a

monitoring centre and in the hours of

darkness a guard response system will

attend to investigate. During daylight the

alarm response will call round nominated

key holders until someone is able to

respond. The alarm also activates bright

flashing lights on the roof which continue

to flash for 20 minutes after activation.

The alarm is not set off by bats, birds, or

animals and is fully approved not to

interfere with the natural environment. If

you see the alarm has gone off and see

anything suspicious don’t put yourself in

any danger but do call the police

urgently. Sadly the threat of roof metal

theft remains very real, Tilton Church

suffered a serious roof metal theft only

last month, they are now considering a

roof alarm. A big thank you to everyone

who supported the alarm appeal.
