Hymn: TiS 449
1. Stand up and bless the Lord,
you people of his choice;
stand up and bless the Lord your God
with heart, and soul, and voice.
2. Though high above all praise,
above all blessing high,
who would not fear his holy name,
and praise and magnify?
3. O for the living flame
from his own altar brought,
to touch our lips, our minds inspire,
and wing to heaven our thought!
4. God is our strength and song,
and his salvation ours;
then be his love in Christ proclaimed
with all our ransomed powers.
5. Stand up and bless the Lord,
the Lord your God adore;
stand up and bless his glorious name,
henceforth for evermore.
James Montgomery
1771–1854 alt.
Greeting: The Lord be with you.
AND ALSO WITH YOU. (see Ruth 2:4)
Sentence: Whoever does not carry the cross and follow Jesus cannot be
his disciple. Luke 14.27

Prayer of Preparation:
As we gather as God's people let us pray together:
Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open,
all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hidden:
cleanse the thoughts of our hearts
by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit,
that we may perfectly love you,
and worthily magnify your holy name,
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Summary of the Commandments:
‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord
your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your
mind, and with all your strength.’ Jesus said: ‘This is the great and first
commandment. And a second is like it: you shall love your neighbour as
yourself.’
Kyrie eleison (How Setting)

The Confession
Let us confess our sins in penitence and faith, confident in God's
forgiveness.
Merciful God, our maker and our judge,
we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed,
and in what we have failed to do:
we have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves;
we repent, and are sorry for all our sins.
Father, forgive us. Strengthen us to love and obey you
in newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Absolution (Celebrant)
Almighty God, who has promised forgiveness to all who turn to
him in faith: pardon you and set you free from all your sins,
strengthen you in all goodness and keep you in eternal life,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer of the Day
God of the ages, you call the Church to keep watch in the world and to
discern the signs of the times: grant us the wisdom that your Spirit
bestows, so that with courage we may proclaim your prophetic word,
and complete the work you have set before us; through your Son, our
Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD
Readings from 'New Revised Standard Version' (NRSV)
First Reading: Jeremiah 18.1-11
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
2 ‘Come, go down to
the potter’s house, and there I will let you hear my words.’ 3 So I went
down to the potter’s house, and there he was working at his
wheel. 4 The vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter’s
hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as seemed good to
him. 5 Then the word of the Lord came to me:
6 Can I not do with you, O
house of Israel, just as this potter has done? says the Lord . Just like the
clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel. 7 At
one moment I may declare concerning a nation or a kingdom, that I will
pluck up and break down and destroy it, 8 but if that nation, concerning
which I have spoken, turns from its evil, I will change my mind about the
disaster that I intended to bring on it. 9 And at another moment I may
declare concerning a nation or a kingdom that I will build and plant
it, 10
but if it does evil in my sight, not listening to my voice, then I will
change my mind about the good that I had intended to do to it. 11
Now,
therefore, say to the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem:
Thus says the Lord: Look, I am a potter shaping evil against you and
devising a plan against you. Turn now, all of you from your evil way, and
amend your ways and your doings.
Response: Hear the word of the Lord,
THANKS BE TO GOD
9
Psalm: 139
The response is sung first by the cantor,
then the choir
and then by the congregation,
then by all after each verse.
Response:
Verses (choir only)
1. O Lord, you search me and you know me,
you know my resting and my rising,
you discern my purpose from afar.
You mark when I walk or lie down,
all my ways lie open to you. Response
2. If I say: ‘Let darkness hide me
and the light around me be night,’
even darkness is not dark for you
and the night is as clear as the day. Response
3. For it was you who created my being,
knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I thank you for the wonder of my being,
for the wonders of all your creation. Response
4. Already you knew my soul,
my body held no secret from you
when I was being fashioned in secret
and moulded in the depths of the earth. Response

Second Reading: Philemon 1.7-20
7 I have indeed received much joy and encouragement from your love,
because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, my
brother. 8 For this reason, though I am bold enough in Christ to
command you to do your duty, 9 yet I would rather appeal to you on the
basis of love—and I, Paul, do this as an old man, and now also as a
prisoner of Christ Jesus. 10
I am appealing to you for my child, Onesimus,
whose father I have become during my imprisonment. 11
Formerly he
was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful both to you and to
me. 12
I am sending him, that is, my own heart, back to you. 13
I wanted
to keep him with me, so that he might be of service to me in your place
during my imprisonment for the gospel; 14
but I preferred to do nothing
without your consent, in order that your good deed might be voluntary
and not something forced. 15
Perhaps this is the reason he was
separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back for
ever, 16
no longer as a slave but as more than a slave, a beloved
brother—especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh
and in the Lord.17
So if you consider me your partner, welcome him as
you would welcome me. 18
If he has wronged you in any way, or owes
you anything, charge that to my account. 19
I, Paul, am writing this with
my own hand: I will repay it. I say nothing about your owing me even
your own self. 20
Yes, brother, let me have this benefit from you in the
Lord! Refresh my heart in Christ.
Response:Hear the word of the Lord,
THANKS BE TO GOD

Gradual Hymn: And did those feet in ancient time
1. And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?
2. Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.
12
We stand for the reading of the Holy Gospel as a sign of respect as we
greet our Lord who is present in His Holy Word.
The Lord be with you
AND ALSO WITH YOU
The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Saint Luke chapter 14
beginning at the 25th
verse.
GLORY TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.
25
Now large crowds were travelling with him; and he turned and said to
them, 26
‘Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife
and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my
disciple. 27
Whoever does not carry the cross and follow me cannot be my
disciple. 28
For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not first sit
down and estimate the cost, to see whether he has enough to complete
it? 29
Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all
who see it will begin to ridicule him, 30
saying, “This fellow began to build
and was not able to finish.” 31
Or what king, going out to wage war against
another king, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten
thousand to oppose the one who comes against him with twenty
thousand?32
If he cannot, then, while the other is still far away, he sends a
delegation and asks for the terms of peace. 33
So therefore, none of you can
become my disciple if you do not give up all your possessions. 34
‘Salt is good;
but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored?35
It is fit
neither for the soil nor for the manure heap; they throw it away. Let anyone
with ears to hear listen!’
Gospel Response: This is the gospel of the Lord,
PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.

• SERMON - (copy of sermon available at back of church)
The Nicene Creed
Let us together affirm the faith of the Church.
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;
through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary
and became truly human.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in 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.

Offertory Hymn: TiS 456
1. Your hand, O God, has guided
your flock from age to age;
the wondrous tale is written,
full clear, on every page;
your people owned your goodness,
and we their deeds record;
and both of this bear witness:
one church, one faith, one Lord.
2. Your heralds brought glad tidings
to greatest, as to least;
they bade them rise, and hasten
to share the great King’s feast;
and this was all their teaching,
in every deed and word,
to all alike proclaiming
one church, one faith, one Lord.
3. Through many a day of darkness,
through many a scene of strife,
the faithful few fought bravely
to guard the nation’s life.
Their gospel of redemption,
sin pardoned, earth restored,
was all in this enfolded:
one church, one faith, one Lord.
4. Your mercy will not fail us,
nor leave your work undone;
with your right hand to help us,
the victory shall be won;
and then by all creation,
your name shall be adored,
and this shall be our anthem:
one church, one faith, one Lord.
