THE STORY OF FAITH IS PROCLAIMED Reader: A Reading from the Book of Proverbs Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn her seven pillars. She has slaughtered her animals, she has mixed her wine, she has also set her table. She has sent out her servant-girls, she calls from the highest places in the town, You that are simple, turn in here! To those without sense she says, Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. Lay aside immaturity, and live, and walk in the way of insight. Reader: Hear what the Spirit is saying to God s people All: Thanks be to God. Psalm 34 Leader: We will say the Psalm responsively, by half-verse. Fear the Lord, you that are his saints, * for those who fear him lack nothing. The young lions lack and suffer hunger, * but those who seek the Lord lack nothing that is good. Come, children, and listen to me; * I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Who among you loves life * and desires long life to enjoy prosperity? Keep your tongue from evil-speaking * and your lips from lying words. Turn from evil and do good; * seek peace and pursue it. Page 5
Reader: A reading from Paul s Letter to the Ephesians Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil. So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Reader: Hear what the Spirit is saying to God s people. All: Thanks be to God. Gospel Hymn (CP#382): Praise to the Lord (v.1) Praise to the Lord, all of you, God s servants. Blessèd be the name of our God now and ever. From the rising up of the sun may the Lord be praised, praise to the name of the Lord! Reader: God be with you. All: And also with you. Celtic Alleluia: Allelulia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia. Reader: The Good News of Jesus according to John Jesus said, I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh. The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? So Jesus said to them, Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent Page 6
me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live forever. Reader: The Gospel of Christ Celtic Alleluia: Allelulia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia. Gospel Hymn (CP# 382): Praise to the Lord (v.2) There is none like our God in the heavens or on earth, Who lifts the weak out of dust, placing them with the mighty, who stoops to raise the weak and low: may the Lord be praised, praise to the name of the Lord! Announcements: Please see the back page. Sermon: The Ven. Penelope A. Kingham Choir Anthem RESPONDING TO THE WORD OF GOD All: We believe and trust in God the Father Almighty We believe and trust in Jesus Christ, his Son. We believe and trust in the Holy Spirit.

THE SACRED MEAL IS SHARED Offertory Hymn (CP#445): God the Creator God the Creator, you in love made me who once was nothing, but now have grown. I bring the best of all my life offers; for you I share whatever I own. O Christ the Saviour, you in love called me who once was no one, lost and alone.

Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest! Celebrant: Blessed are you, most holy One, in Jesus: who on that night before he died, took bread and gave you thanks. Jesus broke it, gave it to all gathered, and said: Take this and eat it, this is my body which is given for you. Do this and know that I am with you to the end of the age. All: After supper, he took the cup, gave you thanks, and gave it to them saying: Drink this all of you. This is my blood of the new covenant. Do this, and know I am with you to the end of the age. Therefore, God of all creation we lift this Bread of Life, and this Cup of Salvation.

Glory to you, source of all life! Page 11
