Amen THE PROCLAMATION OF THE WORD 1st Reading: Deuteronomy 8:7-18, Pew Bible p. 196 (S. Hunt) Psalm 65 p. 407 (S. Hunt) 2nd Reading: 2 Corinthians 9:6-15, Pew Bible p.1242 (D. Butler) Gradual Hymn We Gather Together We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing; He chastens and hastens His will to make known; The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing; Sing praises to His Name, He forgets not His own Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining, Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine; So from the beginning the fight we were winning: Thou, Lord wast at our side, all glory be Thine! We all do extol Thee, Thou leader triumphant, And pray that Thou still our defender will be; Let Thy congregation escape tribulation; Thy name be ever praised; O Lord, make us free! (The children may come forward after verse 2) The Gospel: Luke 17:11-19, Pew Bible p.1124 Sermon, The Rev d Canon Albert Snelgrove Offertory Hymn We Plough the Fields and Scatter 258 All things come of thee O Lord, And of thine own have we given thee. Thanksgiving Litany Let us join together in prayer and give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his mercy endures forever. God thank you for harvests of plenty, Small seeds multiplying to feed many, Trees blossoming into abundant fruit, sweet tomatoes ripening on the vine. God thank you for harvests overflowing, Enough for our own needs and an abundance to share, Enough to feed the hungry and provide for the destitute, Enough to reach out with generosity and care. God thank you for seeds planted in our hearts, Seeds of righteousness yielding goodness and mercy, Seeds of love yielding justice and peace, Seeds of compassion yielding healing and renewal. God thank you for the bread of heaven, Christ our Saviour planted in our lives, Christ our redeemer growing in our hearts, Christ your Son making us one with you. God thank you for the gift of life, like water poured out on thirsty ground, Spring and autumn rains that revive and bring life, A river that flows from your heart and out into the world you love.

5 Thanksgiving Sunday Collect O most merciful Father, we humbly thank you for all thy gifts so freely bestowed upon us; for life and health and safety; for power to work and leisure to rest; for all that is beautiful in creation and in the lives of all people; but above all we thank you for our spiritual mercies in Christ Jesus our Lord; who with thee and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen Epistle 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written: They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever. Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

6 Gospel Luke 17:11-19 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, Jesus, Master, have pity on us! When he saw them, he said, Go, show yourselves to the priests. And as they went, they were cleansed. One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus feet and thanked him and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner? Then he said to him, Rise and go; your faith has made you well.
