OPENING PRAYER:

Introit Hymn: CH 103 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness

1. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! bow down before him, his glory proclaim; with gold of obedience, and incense of lowliness, kneel and adore him, the Lord is His Name.

2. Low at his feet lay thy burden of carefulness, high on his heart he will bear it for thee, comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness, guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.

3. Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness of the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as thine: truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness, these are the offerings to lay on his shrine.

4. These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness, he will accept for the name that is dear; mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness, trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear

5. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness bow down before him, his glory proclaim; with gold of obedience and incense of lowliness, kneel and adore him, the Lord is his name.

MINISTRY OF THE WORD

1st Lesson: Jeremiah 31: 7-9 Miss Melissa Gaskin

Thus says the Lord: Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob, and raise shouts for the chief of

the nations; proclaim, give praise, and say, ‘Save, O Lord, your people, the remnant of

Israel.’ See, I am going to bring them from the land of the north, and gather them from

the farthest parts of the earth, among them the blind and the lame, those with child and

those in labour, together; a great company, they shall return here. With weeping they

shall come, and with consolations I will lead them back, I will let them walk by brooks of

water, in a straight path in which they shall not stumble; for I have become a father to

Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn

This is the word of the Lord

ALL : Thanks be to God

Psalm 126: (Congregation remain seated) Page 643 BCP

1. When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, * then were we like those who dream.

2. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, * and our tongue with shouts of joy.

3. Then they said among the nations, * "The LORD has done great things for them."

4. The LORD has done great things for us, * and we are glad indeed.

5. Restore our fortunes, O LORD, * like the watercourses of the Negev.

6. Those who sowed with tears * will reap with songs of joy.

7. Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed, * will come again with joy, shouldering their sheaves.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son:* and to the Holy Spirit

As it was in the beginning is now* and ever shall be, world without end Amen

2ND Lesson: Hebrews 7: 23-28 Brendan Sargeant

The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from

continuing in office; but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues for

ever. Consequently he is able for all time to save those who approach God through him,

since he always lives to make intercession for them. For it was fitting that we should

have such a high priest, holy, blameless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted

above the heavens. Unlike the other high priests, he has no need to offer sacrifices day

after day, first for his own sins, and then for those of the people; this he did once for all

when he offered himself. For the law appoints as high priests those who are subject to

weakness, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who

has been made perfect for ever.

This is the word of the Lord

ALL : Thanks be to God

Gradual Hymn: CH 205 Spirit of mercy, truth, and love

1. Spirit of mercy, truth, and love, O shed thine influence from above, and still from age to age convey the wonders of this sacred day.

2. In every clime, by every tongue, be God's surpassing glory sung; let all the listening earth be taught the acts our great Redeemer wrought.

. .(Last verse (3) will be sung after the Gospel)

The Gospel: Mark 10: 46-52 (congregation remain standing for the Gospel)

PRIEST: The Lord be with you

ALL: And also with you

PRIEST: The Holy Gospel according to Mark Chapter 10, beginning to read at the

46th verse

ALL: Glory to Christ our Saviour

Jesus and his disciples came to Jericho. As he and his disciples and a large crowd were

leaving Jericho, Bartimaeus son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside.

When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout out and say, ‘Jesus,

Son of David, have mercy on me!’ Many sternly ordered him to be quiet, but he cried

out even more loudly, ‘Son of David, have mercy on me!’ Jesus stood still and said, ‘Call

him here.’ And they called the blind man, saying to him, ‘Take heart; get up, he is calling

you.’ So throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. Then Jesus said to him,

‘What do you want me to do for you?’ The blind man said to him, ‘My teacher, let me

see again.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Go; your faith has made you well.’ Immediately he

regained his sight and followed him on the way.

PRIEST : The Gospel of Christ

ALL: Praise to Christ our Lord

Gradual Hymn: CH 205 (Final verse)

Reflection: In my life Lord be glorified

In my life, Lord, be glorified, be glorified; In my life, Lord, be glorified today.

In your Church, Lord, be glorified, be glorified; In your Church, Lord, be glorified today.

The Nicene Creed 4

We believe in one God,

the Father, the Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all that is seen or 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,

one in Being with the Father.

Through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation

he came down from heaven:

by the power of the Holy Spirit

he was born of the Virgin Mary,

and became man.

8

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;

he suffered, died and was buried.

On the third day he rose again

in fulfilment of 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.

With the Father and the Son

he is worshipped and glorified.

He 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 Eucharistic Prayer A Page 131

PRESIDENT

All Holy and glorious Father,

our Creator God,

we give you thanks

because in your loving wisdom

you brought all things into being,

and are truly worthy of praise

from every creature you have made.

Again and again

we have turned away from you;

yet in every age your steadfast love

has called us to return,

to live in union with you:

for it is your eternal purpose

to put new life into all things

and make them holy.

19

Through your Son, Jesus Christ

who took our human nature upon Him

you have redeemed the world

from the bondage of sin:

and by the power of your Holy Spirit

you have gathered a people to yourself,

to make known in every place

His perfect offering which He made

to the glory of your Name.

Hear us, therefore, Father,

through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord;

And grant that these gifts of bread and wine

may be unto us His Body and Blood.

For, on the night He was betrayed

He took bread,

and when he had given thanks to you,

He broke it and gave it to his disciples

and said: "Take this, and eat it:

"This is my Body which is given for you.

"Do this for the remembrance of me."

And after supper

He took the cup of wine:

and when He had given thanks,

He gave it to them and said:

"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.

"Whenever you drink it,

"do this for the remembrance of me."

rejoicing in His Holy Incarnation;

His Blessed Passion and His Perfect Sacrifice

made once for all upon the Cross;

His Mighty Resurrection from the dead;

His Glorious Ascension into heaven;

and looking for His Coming in glory;

we offer to you this Bread and this Cup.

We pray that you will accept this sacrifice of

praise and thanksgiving;

and grant that all who eat and drink of the Body and Blood

21

of your Son, our great High Priest,

may be renewed by your Holy Spirit,

and be one Body, one Spirit, in Him.

Let faith and love increase in us.

Unite us with all Bishops,

THE ADMINISTRATION OF COMMUNION:

During the singing of the Communion Hymns, we invite to the Lord’s Table all those

persons who are communicant members in this church and in their respective churches.

“Please remember to place your arms across your chest if you are taking communion by

intinction, that is, by the Priest dipping the bread into the wine.”

Communion Hymn: CH 473 In heavenly love abiding

1. In heavenly love abiding, no change my heart shall fear. And safe in such confiding,

24

for nothing changes here. The storm may roar without me, my heart may low be laid, But God is round about me, and can I be dismayed?

2. Wherever He may guide me, no want shall turn me back. My Shepherd is beside me, and nothing can I lack. His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim. He knows the way He taketh, and I will walk with Him

3. Green pastures are before me, which yet I have not seen. Bright skies will soon be o’er me, where the dark clouds have been. My hope I cannot measure, my path to life is free. My Saviour has my treasure, and He will walk with me.

Communion Hymn 411 Thou my everlasting portion

1. Thou my everlasting portion, more than friend or life to me, all along my pilgrim journey, Saviour, let me walk with thee. Close to thee, close to thee, close to thee, close to thee; all along my pilgrim journey, Saviour, let me walk with thee.

2. Not for ease or worldly pleasure, nor for fame my prayer shall be; gladly will I toil and suffer, only let me walk with thee. Close to thee, close to thee,

25

close to thee, close to thee; gladly will I toil and suffer, only let me walk with thee..

3. Lead me through the vale of shadows, bear me o’er life’s fitful sea: then the gate of life eternal, may I enter, Lord, with thee. Close to thee, close to thee, close to thee, close to thee; then the gate of life eternal, may I enter, Lord, with thee.

Communion Hymn 345 Fill the place Lord

1. Fill the place, Lord, with your glory, at this gathering of your own; reign in sovereign grace and power from your praise-surrounded throne.

2. Fill the place, Lord, with your glory, at this gathering of your own; we exalt you, we adore you, thankful hearts now join as one.

3. You’re the Christ, the King of glory, Father’s well belovèd Son, Fill the place, Lord, with your glory, at this gathering of your own.

Communion Hymn CH 618 Sent forth by God’s blessing

1. Sent forth by God’s blessing, our true faith confessing, the people of God from his dwelling take leave. The supper is ended: O now be extended the fruits of his service in all who believe.

26

The seed of his teaching, our hungry souls reaching, shall blossom in action for God and for man. His grace shall incite us, his love shall unite us to work for his kingdom and further his plan.

2. With praise and thanksgiving to God everliving, the task of our everyday life we will face, our faith ever sharing, in love ever caring, embracing as brothers all men of each race. One feast that has fed us, one light that has led us, unite us as one in his life that we share. Then may all the living, with praise and thanksgiving, give honour to Christ and his name that we bear.

During the singing of the next hymn, all children who are not confirmed are invited to the

Altar for a Blessing.

Hymn for the Blessing & Recommitment: Voices in Praise 41 There is a name I love to hear

1. There is a name I love to hear, I love to sing its worth; it sounds like music in my ear, the sweetest name on earth. Refrain: O how I love Jesus, O how I love Jesus, O how I love Jesus, because he first loved me!

2. 2 It tells me of a Savior's love, who died to set me free; it tells me of his precious blood, the sinner's perfect plea Refrain: O how I love Jesus,

27

O how I love Jesus, O how I love Jesus, because he first loved me!

3. It tells me what my Father hath in store for every day and tho I tread a darksome path yields sunshine all the way Refrain: O how I love Jesus, O how I love Jesus, O how I love Jesus, because he first loved me!

4. 3 It tells of one whose loving heart can feel my deepest woe; who in each sorrow bears a part that none can bear below. Refrain: O how I love Jesus, O how I love Jesus, O how I love Jesus, because he first loved me!

BENEDICTION Make me a blessing

Out in the high-ways and by-ways of life, Many are weary and sad; Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife, Making the sorrowing glad. Chorus Make me a blessing, make me a blessing, Out of my life May Jesus shine; Make me a blessing, O Saviour, I pray, Make me a blessing to some-one today.

Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love Tell of His power to forgive, Others will trust Him if only you prove True, every moment you live. Chorus

Love for themselves and then share it with others.

Praise Break Challenge yourself to take a praise break this week! Rather than chatting on the phone or

watching TV, take a pause in your day to acknowledge all of the specific ways in which

the Lord has been good to you. Thank Him for what He is doing in your life, right now,

where you are.

Nothing is too large or too small to be worthy of your praise. Every good thing you have

and experience in life ultimately comes from the Lord. Look around, look up and look

down. You’ll never run out of things for which to be thankful!
