Collect
Almighty God,
you have broken the tyranny of sin
and have sent the Spirit of your Son into our hearts
whereby we call you Father:
give us grace to dedicate our freedom to your service,
that we and all creation may be brought
to the glorious liberty of the children of God;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
First Reading – 2 Samuel 11.26–12.10,13-15*
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,
1and 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 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.’ David said to Nathan, ‘I
have sinned against the LORD.’ Nathan said to David, ‘Now the LORD has put away
your sin; you shall not die. Nevertheless, because by this deed you have utterly scorned
the LORD, the child that is born to you shall die.’ Then Nathan went to his house. The
LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and it became very ill.

Second Reading – Galatians 2.15-21
We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is
justified not by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. And we have come
to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by doing
the works of the law, because no one will be justified by the works of the law. But if, in
our effort to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have been found to be sinners, is Christ
then a servant of sin? Certainly not! But if I build up again the very things that I once tore
down, then I demonstrate that I am a transgressor. For through the law I died to the law,
so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who
live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the
Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God; for
if justification comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
Gospel – Luke 7.36–8.3
One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee’s house
and took his place at the table. And a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having
learned that he was eating in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
She stood behind him at his feet, weeping, and began to bathe his feet with her tears and
to dry them with her hair. Then she continued kissing his feet and anointing them with
the ointment. Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, ‘If
this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what kind of woman this is
who is touching him - that she is a sinner.’ Jesus spoke up and said to him, ‘Simon, I have
something to say to you.’ ‘Teacher,’ he replied. ‘Speak.’ ‘A certain creditor had two
debtors; one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. When they could not pay, he
cancelled the debts for both of them. Now which of them will love him more?’ Simon
answered, ‘I suppose the one for whom he cancelled the greater debt.’ And Jesus said to
him, ‘You have judged rightly.’ Then turning towards the woman, he said to Simon, ‘Do
you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she
has bathed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair. You gave me no kiss, but
from the time I came in she has not stopped kissing my feet. You did not anoint my head
with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore, I tell you, her sins, which
were many, have been forgiven; hence she has shown great love. But the one to whom
little is forgiven, loves little.’ Then he said to her, ‘Your sins are forgiven.’ But those who
were at the table with him began to say among themselves, ‘Who is this who even
forgives sins?’ And he said to the woman, ‘Your faith has saved you; go in peace.’ Soon
afterwards he went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good
news of the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him, as well as some women who
had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven
demons had gone out, and Joanna, the wife of Herod’s steward Chuza, and Susanna, and
many others, who provided for them out of their resources.

Post Communion Prayer
O God, whose beauty is beyond our imagining
and whose power we cannot comprehend:
show us your glory as far as we can grasp it,
and shield us from knowing more than we can bear
until we may look upon you without fear;
through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.

Bereavement Support
Group
For the last 3 years we have been
running a Bereavement Support group
in the Parish Hall. It has been for
people of all faiths or none, for those
recently bereaved or those who are
still aching after many years. However,
particularly since Hildred left, it has
become clear that we are not meeting
people’s needs, so the meetings on the
first Thursday of the month in the
Parish Hall will now stop. We are
planning to re-launch the service in the
autumn, in a different format. To help
provide something useful, we have
drawn up a short questionnaire to ask
those who are bereaved what would
help. If you have lost a loved one –
recently or further back, please fill in
one of the Questionnaires which will
be at the back of Oakham Church, or
from the website. Sian Cheverton.
Mothers’ Union Wine
Tasting
Thanks must go to Ben and Emma of
Bat & Bottle who provided the wine
and entertainment, those who
attended on the evening and also
those who generously gave donations.
A total of £460 will go to the Lunch
Project started by the MU in
Kettering for those children who
need a good, nutritious meal during
holiday times. Pamela Woods.
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.
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. 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
