A Service of Holy Communion

from The Book of Common Prayer (BCP)

Greeting: The Lord be with you.

AND ALSO WITH YOU. (see Ruth 2:4)

Sentence: Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your

labour for that which does not satisfy? Eat what is good, and delight yourselves

in rich food. Isaiah 55.2

Prayer of Preparation:

Let us pray together: (the congregation kneel or sit)

ALMIGHTY God, unto whom all hearts be open, all

desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid;

Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit,

that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy Name;

through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Summary of the Commandments:

Priest: Our Lord Jesus Christ said: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord;

and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and

with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. This is the first commandment. And

the second is like, namely this: thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is

none other commandment greater than these. On these two commandments

hang all the Law and the Prophets.’

People: Lord, have mercy upon us, and write all these thy laws in our hearts,

we beseech thee.

Prayer of the Day

Living God,

whose Son Jesus fed the hungry

with the bread of his life

and the word of his kingdom:

renew your people with your heavenly grace, and in all our weakness

sustain us with your true and living bread, Jesus Christ our Lord;

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Amen.

THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD Readings from 'New Revised Standard Version' (NRSV)

First Reading: 2 SAMUEL 11.26 - 12.13

26When the wife of Uriah heard that her husband was dead, she made

lamentation for him. 27

When the mourning was over, David sent and brought her

to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. 1and the Lord sent

Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him, ‘There were two men in a

certain city, one rich and the other poor. 2The rich man had very many flocks and

herds; 3but the poor man had nothing but one little ewe lamb, which he had

bought. He brought it up, and it grew up with him and with his children; it used

to eat of his meagre fare, and drink from his cup, and lie in his bosom, and it was

like a daughter to him. 4Now there came a traveller to the rich man, and he was

loath to take one of his own flock or herd to prepare for the wayfarer who had

come to him, but he took the poor man’s lamb, and prepared that for the guest

who had come to him.’ 5Then David’s anger was greatly kindled against the man.

He said to Nathan, ‘As the Lord lives, the man who has done this deserves to

die; 6he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because

he had no pity.’ 7Nathan said to David, ‘You are the man! Thus says the Lord ,

the God of Israel: I anointed you king over Israel, and I rescued you from the

hand of Saul; 8I gave you your master’s house, and your master’s wives into your

bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too

little, I would have added as much more. 9Why have you despised the word of

the Lord, to do what is evil in his sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite

with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with

the sword of the Ammonites. 10

Now therefore the sword shall never depart

from your house, for you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the

Hittite to be your wife. 11

Thus says the Lord: I will raise up trouble against you

from within your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes, and

give them to your neighbour, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this

very sun. 12

For you did it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel, and

before the sun.’ 13

David said to Nathan, ‘I have sinned against the Lord.’ Nathan

said to David, ‘Now the Lord has put away your sin; you shall not die.

Response: Hear the word of the Lord,

THANKS BE TO GOD

4

Psalm: 51.1-4, 9-12

1 Have mercy on me, O God, in your enduring goodness:

according to the fulness of your compassion blot out my offences.

2 Wash me thoroughly from my wickedness:

and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I acknowledge my rebellion:

and my sin is ever before me.

4 Against you only have I sinned and done what is evil in your eyes:

so you will be just in your sentence and blameless in your judging.

9 Hide your face from my sins:

and blot out all my iniquities.

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God:

and renew a right spirit within me.

11 Do not cast me out from your presence:

do not take your holy spirit from me.

12 O give me the gladness of your help again:

and support me with a willing spirit.

Second Reading: EPHESIANS 4.1-16 1I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling

to which you have been called, 2with all humility and gentleness, with patience,

bearing with one another in love, 3making every effort to maintain the unity of

the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4There is one body and one Spirit, just as you

were called to the one hope of your calling, 5one Lord, one faith, one

baptism, 6one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in

all. 7But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ’s

gift. 8Therefore it is said, ‘When he ascended on high he made captivity itself a

captive; he gave gifts to his people.’ 9(When it says, ‘He ascended’, what does it

mean but that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth? 10

He

who descended is the same one who ascended far above all the heavens, so that

he might fill all things.) 11

The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles,

some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, 12

to equip the

saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13

until all of us

come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to

maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ. 14

We must no longer be

children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by

people’s trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming. 15

But speaking the

truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into

Christ, 16

from whom the whole body, joined and knitted together by every

5

ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes

the body’s growth in building itself up in love.

Response: Hear the word of the Lord,

THANKS BE TO GOD

We stand for the reading of the Holy Gospel as a sign of respect as we greet our

Lord who is present in His Holy Word.

The Lord be with you

AND ALSO WITH YOU

The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Saint John chapter 6 beginning

at the 24th

verse.

GLORY TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.

24

So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they

themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus. 25

When

they found him on the other side of the lake, they said to him, ‘Rabbi, when did

you come here?’ 26

Jesus answered them, ‘Very truly, I tell you, you are looking

for me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the

loaves. 27

Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures

for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it is on him that God the

Father has set his seal.’ 28

Then they said to him, ‘What must we do to perform

the works of God?’ 29

Jesus answered them, ‘This is the work of God, that you

believe in him whom he has sent.’ 30

So they said to him, ‘What sign are you going

to give us then, so that we may see it and believe you? What work are you

performing? 31

Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written,

“He gave them bread from heaven to eat.” ’ 32

Then Jesus said to them, ‘Very

truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is

my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33

For the bread of God is

that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.’ 34

They said to

him, ‘Sir, give us this bread always.’ 35

Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life.

Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will

never be thirsty.

Gospel Response: This is the gospel of the Lord,

PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.

SERMON followed by a short time for reflection

(Copies of the sermon are available at the back of church)

The Nicene Creed

I BELIEVE in one God the Father Almighty,

Maker of heaven and earth, And of all things visible and invisible:

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten son of God, Begotten of

his Father before all worlds, God of God,

Light of Light, Very God of very God, Begotten, not made,

Being of one substance with the Father, By whom all things were made: Who

for us men, and for our salvation came down from heaven, And was incarnate

by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary,

And was made man, And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He

suffered and was buried, And the third day he rose again according to the

Scriptures, And ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of the

Father. And he shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the

dead: Whose kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost, The Lord and giver of life, Who

proceedeth from the Father and the Son, Who with the Father and the Son

together is worshipped and glorified, Who spake by the Prophets. And I believe

one Catholick and Apostolick Church. I acknowledge one Baptism for the

remission of sins. And I look for the Resurrection of the dead, And the life of

the world to come. Amen.

Then shall the Priest say bible Sentences as he thinketh most convenient in his

discretion.

LET your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and

glorify your Father which is in heaven. St. Matth. v.

7

Then shall the Priest return to the Lord's Table, and begin the Offertory, the Alms

for the Poor, and other devotions of the people, shall be placed upon the holy

Table. And when there is a Communion, the Priest shall then place upon the Table

so much Bread and Wine, as he shall think sufficient. After which done, the Priest

shall say,

Gracious Lord, we pray that you accept these our gifts, and us your people,

for your service and to your glory. Amen.

Let us pray for the whole state of Christ's Church militant here in earth.

(the congregation kneel or sit).

ALMIGHTY and everliving God, who by thy holy Apostle hast taught us to make

prayers, and supplications, and to give thanks for all men; We humbly beseech

thee most mercifully to receive these our prayers, which we offer unto thy Divine

Majesty; beseeching thee to inspire continually the Universal Church with the spirit

of truth, unity, and concord: And grant, that all they who do confess thy holy Name

may agree in the truth of thy holy Word, and live in unity, and godly love. We

beseech thee also to save and defend all Christian Kings, Princes, and Governors;

and specially thy Servant ELIZABETH our Queen; that under her we may be godly

and quietly governed: And grant unto her whole Council, and to all that are put in

authority under her, that they may truly and impartially administer justice, to the

punishment of wickedness and vice, and to the maintenance of thy true religion,

and virtue. Give grace, O heavenly Father, to all Bishops and Curates, that they may

both by their life and doctrine set forth thy true and lively Word, and rightly and

duly administer thy holy Sacraments.

And to all thy people give thy heavenly grace; and especially to this congregation

here present; that, with meek heart and due reverence, they may hear, and

receive thy holy Word; truly serving thee in holiness and righteousness all the

days of their life. And we most humbly beseech thee, of thy goodness, O Lord, to

comfort and succour all those who, in this transitory life, are in trouble, sorrow,

need, sickness, or any other adversity. We bless thy holy Name for all thy servants

departed this life in thy faith and fear, beseeching thee to give us grace so to

follow their good examples, that with them we may be partakers of thy heavenly

kingdom. Grant this, O Father, for Jesus Christ's sake, our only Mediator and

Advocate. Amen.

9

Then shall the Priest say to them that come to receive the Holy Communion,

YE that do truly and earnestly repent you of your sins, and are in love and charity

with your neighbours, and intend to lead a new life, following the

commandments of God, and walking from henceforth in his holy ways; Draw near

with faith, and take this holy Sacrament to your comfort; and make your humble

confession to Almighty God.

Then shall this general Confession be made.

ALMIGHTY God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of all things, judge of all

men; We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, Which

we, from time to time, most grievously have committed, By thought, word, and

deed, Against thy Divine Majesty, Provoking most justly thy wrath and

indignation against us. We do earnestly repent, And are heartily sorry for these

our misdoings; The remembrance of them is grievous unto us; The burden of

them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us, Have mercy upon us, most merciful

Father; For thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ's sake, Forgive us all that is past; And

grant that we may ever hereafter Serve and please thee In newness of life, To

the honour and glory of thy Name; Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Then shall the Priest, (or the Bishop, being present) standing up, and turning

himself to the people, pronounce this Absolution.

ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father, who of his great mercy hath promised

forgiveness of sins to all them that with hearty repentance and true faith

turn unto him; Have mercy upon you; pardon and deliver you from all your

sins; confirm and strengthen you in all goodness; and bring you to

everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Then shall the Priest say,

Hear what comfortable words our Saviour Christ saith unto all that truly turn

to him.

Come unto me all that travail and are heavy laden, and I will refresh you. St.

Matth. xi. 28.

So God loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, to the end that

all that believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

St. John iii. 16

10

Hear also what Saint Paul saith.

This is a true saying, and worthy of all men to be received, that Christ Jesus

came into the world to save sinners. 1 Tim. i. 15.

Hear also what Saint John saith.

If any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;

and he is the propitiation for our sins. 1 St. John ii. 1.

After which the Priest shall proceed, saying,

Lift up your hearts.

Answer. We lift them up unto the Lord.

Priest. Let us give thanks unto our Lord God.

Answer. It is meet and right so to do.

Then shall the Priest say,

IT is very meet, right, and our bounden duty, that we should at all times, and in

all places, give thanks unto thee, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty, Everlasting God.

THEREFORE with Angels and Archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we

laud and magnify thy glorious Name; evermore praising thee, and saying,

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts,

heaven and earth are full of thy glory:

Glory be to thee, O Lord most High. Amen

Then all them that shall receive the Communion pray.

WE do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our

own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy

so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table. But thou art the same

Lord, whose property is always to have mercy: Grant us therefore, gracious

Lord, so to eat

the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood, that our sinful

bodies may be made clean by his body, and our souls washed through his most

precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us.

Amen.

11

When the Priest, standing before the Table, hath so ordered the Bread and Wine,

that he may with the more readiness and decency break the Bread before the

people, and take the Cup into his hands, he shall say the Prayer of Consecration,

as followeth.

ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father, who of thy tender mercy didst give thine

only Son Jesus Christ to suffer death upon the Cross for our redemption; who

made there a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice, oblation, and satisfaction, for

the sins of the whole world; and did institute, and in his holy Gospel command us

to continue, a perpetual memory of that his precious death, until his coming

again; Hear us, O merciful Father, we most humbly beseech thee; and grant that

we receiving these thy creatures of bread and wine, according to thy Son our

Saviour Jesus Christ's holy institution, in remembrance of his death and passion,

may be partakers of his most blessed Body and Blood: who, in the same night

that he was betrayed, (a) took Bread; and, when he had given thanks, (b) he

brake it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, Take, eat, (c) this is my Body which is

given for you: Do this in remembrance of me.

Likewise after supper he (d) took the Cup; and, when he had given thanks, he

gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of this; for this (e) is my Blood of the New

Testament, which is shed for you and for many for the remission of sins: Do this,

as oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me. Amen.

Jesus, Lamb of God. Have mercy on us.

Jesus, bearer of our sins. Have mercy on us.

Jesus, redeemer of the world. Grant us your peace.

Come, let us take this Holy Sacrament of the body and blood of Christ in

remembrance that he died for us, and feed on him in our hearts by faith

with thanksgiving.

Baptised Christians who receive communion in their own church

are invited to share communion with us today.

Communion wine may be received:

(a) from the common cup from the first of the two Eucharistic Assistants.

(b) by intinction from the second of the Eucharistic Assistants where a small part of

the wafer is carefully dipped in the wine, or

(c) from an individual glass on request from the first Eucharistic Assistant. Or you

may choose to receive the wafer only (Communion in one kind).

12

Let us pray in the words that our Lord Jesus Christ has taught us:

OUR Father, which art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy Name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive them that 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.

After shall be said by the Priest a prayer of thanksgiving.

Then shall be said by all, standing,

GLORY be to God on high,

and in earth peace, good will towards men.

We praise thee, we bless thee, we worship thee,

we glorify thee, we give thanks to thee for thy great glory,

O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty.

O Lord, the only begotten Son Jesu Christ;

O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,

that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.

Thou that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou that

takest away the sins of the world, receive our prayer. Thou that sittest at the

right hand of God the Father,

have mercy upon us.

For thou only art holy; thou only art the Lord;

thou only, O Christ, with the Holy Ghost,

art most high in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

Then the Priest (or Bishop if he be present) shall let them depart with this

Blessing.

THE peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds

in the knowledge and love of God, and of his son Jesus Christ our Lord: and the

blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, be amongst

you and remain with you always. Amen.

GENERAL NOTICES

Olympic Update: Ellie Gandy finished 8th

in the final of the 100m butterfly

and just failed to qualify for the semi-finals in the 200m butterfly after

leading for more than half of the race. She is very disappointed that her

swim times were not better, but hopefully will gain much from the

experience.

THANK YOU: to all who supported the Mothers Union Project. $268.30 was
