2 2 Sunday 29 October 2017 Pentecost 21 Job 14:1-14 A mortal, born of woman, few of days and full of trouble, comes up like a flower and withers, flees like a shadow and does not last. Do you fix your eyes on such a one? Do you bring me into judgement with you? Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? No one can. Since their days are determined, and the number of their months is known to you, and you have appointed the bounds that they cannot pass, look away from them, and desist, that they may enjoy, like labourers, their days. For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its shoots will not cease. Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stump dies in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and put forth branches like a young plant. But mortals die, and are laid low; humans expire, and where are they? As waters fail from a lake, and a river wastes away and dries up, so mortals lie down and do not rise again; until the heavens are no more, they will not awake or be roused out of their sleep. O that you would hide me in Sheol, that you would conceal me until your wrath is past, that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me! If mortals die, will they live again? All the days of my service I would wait until my release should come. Hear the word of the Lord, Thanks be to God. Ephesians 2:1-10 You were dead through the trespasses and sins in which you once lived, following the course of this world, following the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work among those who are disobedient. All of us once lived among them in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of flesh and senses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like everyone else. But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us even when were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ - by grace you have been saved - and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God - not the result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life. Hear the word of the Lord, Thanks be to God. Year A

3 Welcome Ministry Team Vicar: Rev d Philip Higgins Locum Priest: Black Rock: Rev d Clemence Taplin Ph: clemence.taplin@hotmail.com Ministers: The whole congregation Welcome to Bishop Paul Barker today as we celebrate All Souls Day (which falls on Thursday 2 November). 136 years ago the first service was held in the wooden church in Gypsy Village. We give thanks today for all the faithful men, women and children who have worshipped our living God and served him in our parish during this time. The Reverend Clemence Taplin is on leave in far North Queensland at present, but sends her greetings to all for All Souls Day All Souls Mission News This is the last day for donations to SparkLit and for the contents of the pantry basket to go to the Asylum Seeker Centre. For the next two months donations will go to the Christmas Bowl and Christmas goodies will be collected for the Asylum Seeker Centre, Dixon House and BayCISS. A message from Dixon House - they urgently seek toys for boys and girls aged 5-12 years of age. They also seek gift vouchers for adolescents so that they can buy their own gifts. 3

9 Sunday 29 October 2017 Pentecost 21 Year A The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John 5:19-29 Glory to you Lord Jesus Christ Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise. The Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing; and he will show him greater works than these, so that you will be astonished. Indeed, just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes. The Father judges no one but has given all judgement to the Son, so that all may honour the Son just as they honour the Father. Anyone who does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who sent him. Very truly, I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and does not come under judgment, but has passed from death to life. "Very truly, I tell you, the hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself; and he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. Do not be astonished at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and will come out -- those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. This is the Gospel of the Lord Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ. 9
