4 Page 4 The Collect of the Day Let us pray: Enfolding God, Trinity of love, you are our source, our goal, our life: may we be born again in you, no more to live alone and unconnected, but, sharing the Spirit s breath, be carried to your heart; through Jesus Christ, who lifts us up. Amen The Proclamation of the Word A Reading from the First Book of Samuel Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord under Eli. The word of the Lord was rare in those days; visions were not widespread. At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see, was lying down in his room; the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was. Then the Lord called, "Samuel! Samuel!" and he said, "Here I am!" and ran to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he said, "I did not call; lie down again." So he went and lay down. The Lord called again, "Samuel!" Samuel got up and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he said, "I did not call, my son; lie down again." Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him. The Lord called Samuel again, a third time. And he got up and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." Then Eli perceived that the Lord was calling the boy. Therefore Eli said to Samuel, "Go, lie down; and if he calls you, you shall say, 'Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place. Now the Lord came and stood there, calling as before, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel said, "Speak, for your servant is listening." 1 Samuel 3:1 10 Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church. Thanks be to God. Psalm Lord, you have searched me out and known me; you know my sitting down and my rising up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You trace my journeys and my resting places and are acquainted with all my ways. Indeed, there is not a word on my lips, but you, O

5 Page5 Lord, know it altogether. You press upon me behind and before and lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is so high that I cannot attain to it. For you yourself created my inmost parts; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I will thank you because I am marvellously made; your works are wonderful, and I know it well. My body was not hidden from you, while I was being made in secret and woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes beheld my limbs, yet unfinished in the womb; all of them were written in your book; they were fashioned day by day, when as yet there was none of them. How deep I find your thoughts, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I were to count them, they would be more in number than the sand; to count them all, my life span would need to be like yours. Psalm 139:1 5, A Reading from the Second Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians We do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus' sake. For it is the God who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our bodies. For while we live, we are always being given up to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be made visible in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you. 2 Corinthians 4:5-12 Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church. Gradual Hymn: #519 The Lord s My Shepherd vv. 1, 2 Thanks be to God. The Lord be with you And also with you The Holy Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. Mark Glory to you Lord Jesus Christ

6 Page 6 One sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. The Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?" And he said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need of food? He entered the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and he gave some to his companions." Then he said to them, "The sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath; so the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath." Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand. They watched him to see whether he would cure him on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him. And he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Come forward." Then he said to them, "Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the sabbath, to save life or to kill?" But they were silent. He looked around at them with anger; he was grieved at their hardness of heart and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. The Pharisees went out and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him. Mark 2:23 3:6 The Gospel of Christ Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ Gradual Hymn: #519 The Lord s My Shepherd vv. 3, 4, 5 Sermon The Nicene Creed Let us confess our faith, as we say, 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,

7 Page7 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: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. 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. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He 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. Prayers of the People Draw your Church together, O Lord, into one great company of disciples, together following our Lord Jesus Christ into every walk of life, together serving him in his mission to the world, and together witnessing to his love on every continent and island. We ask this in his name and for his sake. Amen

8 Page 8 Confession and Absolution Dear friends in Christ, God is steadfast in love and infinite in mercy; God welcomes sinners and invites us to this table. Let us confess our sins, confident in God s forgiveness. Silence is kept. Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us, that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your name. Amen. Almighty God have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and keep you in eternal life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The Peace The peace of the Lord be always with you and also with you. Let us offer one another a sign of peace. The Preparation of the Gifts Offertory: #450 You Call Us, Lord, to Be Prayer over the Gifts Holy God, gracious and merciful, you bring forth food from the earth and nourish your whole creation. Turn our hearts toward those who hunger in any way, so that all may know your care; and prepare us now to feast on the bread of life, Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord. Amen

9 Page9 The Great Thanksgiving Blessed are you, gracious God, creator of heaven and earth; by water and the Holy Spirit you have made us a holy people in Jesus Christ our Lord; you renew that mystery in bread and wine and nourish us, to show forth your glory in all the world. Therefore with angels and archangels, and with all the holy people who have served you in every age, we raise our voices to proclaim the glory of your name: Sanctus: We give thanks to you, Lord our God, for the goodness and love you have made known to us in creation; in calling Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in

10 Page 10 the Word made flesh, Jesus your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Saviour and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life. On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, a death he freely accepted, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, Take, eat: this is my body which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me. After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, 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. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me. Therefore, we proclaim the mystery of faith, and we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine. We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts, that they may be the sacrament of the body of Christ and his blood of the new covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we, made acceptable in him, may be sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, reconcile all things in Christ, and make them new, and bring us to that city of light where you dwell with all your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation; by whom, and with whom, and in whom, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honour and glory are yours, almighty Father, now and for ever.

11 Page11 The Lord s Prayer Being made one by the power of the Spirit, let us pray with confidence as our Saviour has taught us: 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. The Breaking of the Bread We break this bread to share in the body of Christ. We, being many, are one body, for we all share in the one bread. Agnus Dei My brothers and sisters in Christ, these are the gifts of God for the people of God. Thanks be to God.

12 Page 12 Draw near with faith. Receive the body of our Lord Jesus Christ which he gave for you and his blood which he shed for you, and feed on him in your hearts by faith with thanksgiving. The Communion ALL may come forward for Communion or a blessing. (If you do not wish to receive from the common cup, you are invited to remain at the rail and acknowledge or touch the cup.)

Communion Hymns: Prayer after Communion #458 Seek Ye First #59 Jesus Calls Us Here to Meet Him Let us pray We give you thanks, almighty God, that you have refreshed us through the healing power of this gift of life. In your mercy, strengthen us through this gift, in faith toward you and in fervent love toward one another; for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen Glory to God, whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine. Glory to God from generation to generation, in the Church and in Christ Jesus, for ever and ever. Amen Sunday School Sharing Sending Hymn: #505 Be Thou My Vision Blessing The peace of God which passes all understanding keep your health and minds in the knowledge and love of God and his son Jesus Christ our Lord. And the blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among you and remain with you always. Amen.

The physical church is a small stone chapel with a large 4-season extension worship space. From their website: The Anglican Church of St Thomas is a unique place of worship. It has a beautiful stone chapel for small services. Next to it is the Tabernacle, which holds larger services. It is built around an old threshing floor (aloni) and has a stone floor and a small wall surrounds it. You will see from the photographs that in the winter the plastic sides are unwound making it cosy. Through the clear plastic we can still see the beautiful White Mountains

16 Page 16 beyond. In the summer the sides are rolled up and so we hear the cicadas, the birds and the sheep and goats joining us in worship! The Church of St. Thomas was born out of prayer. In 2003 a small group of people began meeting regularly in the home of Tony and Suzanne Lane to pray and worship God. Numbers increased as the local ex-pat community grew Early in 2007, Tony Lane, realising the need for a more suitable worship space, and inspired by the typical Cretan mountain chapels, designed and built the Chapel of St Thomas. In July that year, the ministry of the Church of St Thomas officially commenced with the naming and blessing of this newly built Church by Canon Mike Peters.

17 Page17 The Church was officially dedicated by Bishop Geoffrey in At the same service Tony Lane was Licensed as a Reader within the Anglican Church. Later that year the covered Tabernacle was erected by Tony, creating an area for over 100 worshippers to be seated in all weathers. In October 2009 he was ordained Deacon, and in July 2010 ordained as Priest. He is now serving as an Assistant (Retired) Priest as part of St Thomas's Ministry Team. John and I visited St. Thomas and worshipped with them in October The Revd Canon Philip Lambert and the whole congregation warmly welcomed us our friends who drove us there did not stay for the service, but were invited to join in fellowship and conversation with everyone, when they returned to collect us. The congregation numbered about 40 locals, though they told us that that drops to about 6 in the winter! Many British people live on Crete for all or part of the year. St. Thomas grew out of a local desire to have Anglican worship. They use the modern liturgy from Common Worship, the English version of our Book of Alternative Services. The Greek people worship at the Greek Orthodox Church. Much like the Roman Catholic faith, the Greek Orthodox faith is integrated into the fabric of their lives. While staying in the village of Azogires, John and I were able to participate in a huge celebration of the Feast of the 99 Fathers at an old monastery in the valley. I ll save that experience for another Share Your Journey.
