1 Parish Church of St Laurence Northfield Sunday 29 January 2017 Epiphany 4/Presentation of Christ in the Temple Welcome to worship today. At the 10am service we welcome the 2017 wedding couples. After the service we will gather in the chancel to plan the dates of the wedding preparation Opening Hymn 105 Hymns are sung only at the 10am service The Collect (prayer for the day) Almighty and ever-living God, clothed in majesty, whose beloved Son was this day presented in the Temple, in substance of our flesh: grant that we may be presented to you with pure and clean hearts, by your Son Jesus Christ 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 Malachi Thus says the Lord God: 1 See, I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple. The messenger of the covenant in whom you delight indeed, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts. 2 But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears For he is like a refiner s fire and like fullers soap; 3 he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the descendants of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, until they present offerings to the LORD in righteousness. 4 Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the LORD as in the days of old and as in former years. 5 Then I will draw near to you for judgement; I will be swift to bear witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired workers in their wages, the widow, and the orphan, against those who thrust aside the alien, and do not fear me, says the LORD of hosts. Second Reading Hebrews Since the children share flesh and blood, Jesus himself likewise shared the same things, so that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by the fear of death. 16 For it is clear that he did not come to help angels, but the descendants of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had to become like his brothers and sisters in every respect, so that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make a sacrifice of atonement for the sins of the people. 18 Because he himself was tested by what he suffered, he is able to help those who are being tested.
2 Hymn 945 (sing 3 times) Gospel Sentence Alleluia, alleluia. This child is the light to enlighten the nations, and the glory of your people Israel. Alleluia. Gospel Reading Luke When the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, Mary and Joseph brought Jesus up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord. 23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every firstborn male shall be designated as holy to the Lord ), 24 and they offered a sacrifice according to what is stated in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons. 25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; this man was righteous and devout, looking forward to the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit rested on him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord s Messiah. 27 Guided by the Spirit, Simeon came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary under the law, 28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying, 29 Master, now you are dismissing your servant in peace, according to your word; 30 for my eyes have seen your salvation, 31 which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, 32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel. 33 And the child s father and mother were amazed at what was being said about him. 34 Then Simeon blessed them and said to his mother Mary, This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed 35 so that the inner thoughts of many will be revealed and a sword will pierce your own soul too. 36 There was also a prophet, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, having lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, 37 then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshipped there with fasting and prayer night and day. 38 At that moment she came, and began to praise God and to speak about the child to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem. 39 When they had finished everything required by the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. 40 The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favour of God was upon him. Repeat Hymn 945 as Sunday School departs Sermon Father David Pycock The Intercessions are led by 8.30am Ann Pycock 10am Mark Reynolds

Envelopes and pens are available at the Welcome Desk Hymns during the administration of Holy Communion 582, 157 (tune 206) Post-Communion Prayer Lord, you fulfilled the hope of Simeon and Anna, who lived to welcome the Messiah: may we, who have received these gifts beyond words, prepare to meet Christ Jesus when he comes to bring us to eternal life; for he is alive and reigns, now and for ever.

7 Taize, Hidden Treasure Birmingham 28th April -1st May The Taize community is coming to Birmingham and with it several hundred young people aged from across the UK and Europe. Northfield is acting as a host community for some of the young people coming so we need to find accommodation over the weekend. They will be following a programme so will be out most of the day and returning to you c pm. Please can you give some thought as to whether you would be able to accommodate some of these people and fill in the form in the Porch asap. This is a great opportunity to meet young Christians from all over Europe, make them feel at home, and show them what Birmingham people are really like by giving them a flavour of our community and hospitality. The event is being organised with the support of all the main churches. There will be events taking place in the city centre and some locally in Northfield. What is required of you if you do help! Somewhere for someone to sleep in your home. This can range from a bed, a space on the floor, a settee. Somewhere for them to wash and use the toilet. This does not have to be en suite or anything luxurious. Breakfast. Again this can be as simple as a slice of toast or the full works! They will be arriving in the evening and leaving each day before 9am and will come equipped with sleeping bags and towels (this time may alter on Sunday). Canon Janet and Peter hosted two young people from Taize last year and really enjoyed having them to stay. If you have any questions please contact Angela Dyer on angeladyer@hotmail.co.uk
