2 A reading from the book of Deuteronomy ( ) See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, death and adversity. If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I am commanding you today, by loving the Lord your God, walking in his ways, and observing his commandments, decrees, and ordinances, then you shall live and become numerous, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to possess. But if your heart turns away and you do not hear, but are led astray to bow down to other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you shall perish; you shall not live long in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess. I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live, loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and holding fast to him; for that means life to you and length of days, so that you may live in the land that the Lord swore to give to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. This is the Word of the Lord. Responsorial Psalm 119 R\: Happy are they who walk in the law of the Lord. A reading from the first letter of Paul to the Corinthians (3.1 9) Brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but rather as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for solid food. Even now you are still not ready, for you are still of the flesh. For as long as there is jealousy and quarrelling among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving according to human inclinations? For when one says, I belong to Paul, and another, I belong to Apollos, are you not merely human? What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you came to believe, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. The one who plants and the one who waters have a common purpose, and each will receive wages according to the labour of each. For we are God s servants, working together; you are God s field, God s building. This is the Word of the Lord. 2

3 Hear the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew ( ) On the mountain, Jesus gathered his disciples around him and taught them, saying: You have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, You shall not murder ; and whoever murders shall be liable to judgement. But I say to you that if you are angry with a brother or sister, you will be liable to judgement; and if you insult a brother or sister, you will be liable to the council; and if you say, You fool, you will be liable to the hell of fire. So when you are offering your gift at the altar, if you remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother or sister, and then come and offer your gift. Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are on the way to court with him, or your accuser may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Truly I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny. You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery. But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to go into hell. It was also said, Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce. But I say to you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. Again, you have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, You shall not swear falsely, but carry out the vows you have made to the Lord. But I say to you, Do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. Let your word be Yes, Yes or No, No ; anything more than this comes from the evil one. This is the Gospel of the Lord. 3

INVITATION FROM THE ROTARY CLUB Come and help The Rotary Club of Dulwich, Peckham and Crystal Palace celebrate Rotary Day and 100 years of the Rotary Foundation. Meet us for a free Cheese and Wine on Tuesday 21 February 2017 from 6.30 to 8.30pm at Dulwich Constitutional Club, 33 East Dulwich Grove to find out more about us, who we are and how we work with local communities. Please reply to shirleykirk0@gmail.com or phone GOOSE GREEN LUNCH CLUB The Lunch Club is taking a break and will be back on 23 February. SHARED CONVERSATIONS Over the past three years, the Church of England has been engaged in a process of Shared Conversations around the issue of human sexuality. The aim has been to create safe spaces in which diverse views could be expressed honestly and heard respectfully. Participants have included Bishops, Priests and lay members of the church. In response to this process, the House of Bishops have produced a report, 'Marriage and Same Sex Relationships after the Shared Conversations. For those who have desired to see a change in the church, the report is disappointing, in that while it seeks a change of tone in the way LGBTI people are spoken to and about, it is proposing no actual change in policy or practice. The Revd. Sam Wells at St Martin in the Fields has offered a written response to the report, copies of which are available at the back of church. All three clergy at St John s would echo the sentiments he expresses in his statement. We are committed to making sure that St John s church is a place where all people are fully welcomed and affirmed. 6
