For this reason I bow my knees before the Father…that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Ephesians 3:14-16

The Collect: O LORD, we beseech you, let your continual pity cleanse and defend your Church; and, because it cannot continue in safety without your succour, preserve it evermore by your help and goodness; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

New Testament Reading: Ephesians 3:13-21So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Song: Speak oh LordSpeak O Lord as we come to YouTo receive the food of Your holy wordTake Your truth plant it deep in usShape and fashion us in Your likenessThat the light of Christ might be seen todayIn our acts of love and our deeds of faithSpeak O Lord and fulfil in usAll Your purposes for Your glory

Teach us Lord full obedienceHoly reverence true humilityTest our thoughts and our attitudesIn the radiance of Your purityCause our faith to riseCause our eyes to seeYour majestic love and authority

Speak O Lord and renew our mindsHelp us grasp the heights of Your plans for usTruths unchanged from the dawn of timeThat will echo down through eternityAnd by grace we'll stand on Your promisesAnd by faith we'll walk as You walk with usSpeak O Lord till Your church is builtAnd the earth is filled with Your glory

Words of power that can never failLet their truth prevail over unbelief

The Gospel: St Luke 7:11-17Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to St Luke

All Glory to you O Lord.

Soon afterwards Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him. As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.” Then he came up and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and “God has visited his people!” And this report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country.

This is the Gospel of the LordAll Praise to you, O Christ.

Song: Even so comeAll of creation all of the earthMake straight a highway a path for the LordJesus is coming soon

Call back the sinner wake up the saintLet ev'ry nation shout of Your nameJesus is coming soon

Like a bride waiting for her groomWe'll be a Church ready for YouEv'ry heart longing for our King we singEven so come Lord Jesus comeEven so come Lord Jesus come

There will be justice all will be newYour name forever faithful and trueJesus is coming soon

So we wait we wait for YouGod we wait You're coming soonSo we wait we wait for YouGod we wait You're coming soon

Let us pray.We thank you, almighty God, for the gift of water to sustain, refresh and cleanse all life. Over water the Holy Spirit moved in the beginning of creation. Through water you led the children of Israel from slavery in Egypt to freedom in the Promised Land. In water your Son Jesus received the baptism of John and was anointed by the Holy Spirit as the Messiah, the Christ, to lead us from the death of sin to newness of life.We thank you, Father, for the water of baptism. In it we are buried with Christ in his death. By it we share in his resurrection. Through it we are reborn by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, in joyful obedience to your Son, we baptize into his fellowship those who come to him in faith. Now sanctify this water that, by the power of your Holy Spirit, they may be cleansed from sin and born again. Renewed in your image, may they walk by the light of faith and continue for ever in the risen life of Jesus Christ our Lord;to whom with you and the Holy Spirit be all honour and glory, now and for ever.

Commission The priest says to the candidates who are able to answer for

themselves,Those who are baptized are called to worship and serve God.Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship,in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers?With the help of God, I will.

Will you persevere in resisting evil,and, whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord?With the help of God, I will.

Will you proclaim by word and examplethe good news of God in Christ?With the help of God, I will.

Will you seek and serve Christ in all people,loving your neighbour as yourself?With the help of God, I will.

Will you acknowledge Christ’s authority over human society,by prayer for the world and its leaders,by defending the weak, and by seeking peace and justice?With the help of God, I will.

May Christ dwell in your hearts through faith,that you may be rooted and grounded in loveand bring forth the fruit of the Spirit.Amen.

All glory be to you, our heavenly Father, who, in your tender mercy, gave your only Son our Saviour Jesus Christ to 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.

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.

-13-

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 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 Communion

Baptized 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.

Communion MedleyBehold our God

Who has held the oceans in His handsWho has numbered every grain of sandKings and nations tremble at His voiceAll creation rises to rejoice

- 14 -

There is none like You There is none like You No one else can touch My heart like You do I could search For all eternity long and find There is none like You

Your mercy flows like a river wide And healing comes from Your hands Suffering children are safe in Your arms There is none like You

I give myself away

I give myself away I give myself away So You can use me

Here I am here I stand Lord my life is in Your hands Lord I'm longing to see Your desires revealed in me

Take my heart take my life As a living sacrifice All my dreams all my plans Lord I place them in Your hands

My life is not my own To You I belong I give myself I give myself to You

Post Communion Song: Come Thou fount1 Come Thou Fount of every blessing Tune my heart to sing Thy grace Streams of mercy never ceasing Call for songs of loudest praise Teach me some melodious sonnet Sung by flaming tongues above Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it Mount of God's unchanging love

Jesus sought me when a stranger Wandering from the fold of God He to rescue me from danger Interposed His precious blood

3 O to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be Let Thy grace now like a fetter Bind my wandering heart to Thee Prone to wander Lord I feel it Prone to leave the God I love Here's my heart O take and seal

2 Here I raise my Ebenezer Hither by Thy help I'm come And I hope by Thy good pleasure Safely to arrive at home

it Seal it for Thy courts above

- 15 -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 Blessing Priest The God of all grace,

who called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, establish, strengthen and settle you in the faith; and the blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among you and remain with you always.

All Amen.
