3 The Calendar St Paulinus (d. 644), Bishop Paulinus was the first Bishop of York, who came to Britain with the second group of missionaries that Pope Gregory the Great sent from Rome, arriving by about 604. He began his work in Kent along with the rest of the mission, having considerable success with the common people and at court. About twenty years into the mission he was asked to accompany Ethelburga, sister of the king of Kent, to Northumbria where she was to marry King Edwin. There was considerable discussion before the marriage, because Christians were not to marry pagans, but Edwin promised that Ethelburga could follow her conscience, and that he would study her religion. Paulinus went along as Ethelburga s chaplain, but returned south to be consecrated as bishop in York, perhaps in 625. Enjoying royal protection, Paulinus travelled widely within Northumbria, as far south as Lincoln, converting large numbers. His work led to Edwin s baptism in 627, which was followed by that of many of the nobility. Edwin s reign was sufficiently peaceful that a woman could carry her new born baby across the island from sea to sea and suffer no harm. Unfortunately, Edwin was killed in a battle with the Welsh in 633, and Paulinus brought Ethelburga, with her family, back to Kent by ship. By then Pope Honorius had decided to send him a pallium, the symbol of an archbishop s authority, showing that York was to be the second archbishopric in Britain. Paulinus did not return to York, but from 633 until his death on October 10th, 644, served as bishop of Rochester. Bede wrote that Paulinus was a tall man with a slight stoop, who had black hair, a thin face and a narrow aquiline nose, his presence being venerable and awe-inspiring. His most significant act may have been baptizing Hilda, later the influential abbess of Whitby, around the time that Edwin had converted.

Rae Fletcher, Gabrielle, Gordon, Heather, Helen & John Starnes, Ian, 4 The Gospel The Holy Gospel is written in the sixth chapter of the Gospel according to Saint Matthew beginning at the 25th verse. Glory be to thee, O Lord. Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you-you of little faith? Therefore do not worry, saying, What will we eat? or What will we drink? or What will we wear? For it is the Gentiles who strive for all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (Matthew 6:25-33) The Gospel of Christ. Praise be to thee, O Christ. 9

5 Psalm 100 1) O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands: / serve The Lord with gladness, and come before his presence with a song. 2) Be ye sure that the Lord, he is God; / it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 3) O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into hic courts with praise; / be thankful unto him, and speak good of his name. 4) For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting; / and his truth endureth from generation to generation. A Reading from the First Letter of Timothy First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings should be made for everyone, for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity. This is right and is acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human, who gave himself a ransom for all -this was attested at the right time. For this I was appointed a herald and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. (1 Timothy 2:1-7) 8 Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church. Thanks be to God. Janet, Jennie, Judy, Katie, Lori, Lorna, Louise, Margaret, Marie Hunter, Mary Ann, Mary Joy, Monica, Pip, Rev.

Do not fear, you animals of the field, for the pastures of the wilderness are green; the tree bears its fruit, the fig tree and vine give their full yield. O children of Zion, be glad and rejoice in the Lord your God; for he has given the early rain for your vindication, he has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the later rain, as before. The threshing-floors shall be full of grain, the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. I will repay you for the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my great army, which I sent against you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you. And my people shall never again be put to shame. You shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I, the Lord, am your God and there is no other. And my people shall never again be put to shame. (Joel 2:21-27 ) Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church. Thanks be to God. 6 7
