Gloria

1. Glory to God, we give you thanks and praise, of heavenly joy and earthly peace we sing.

We worship you, to you our hearts we raise, Lord God Almighty, Father, heavenly King.

2. Lord Jesus Christ, the Father’s only Son,

you bore for us the load of this world’s sin. O Lamb of God, your glorious victory won,

receive our prayer, grant us your peace within.

3. Alone O Christ, you only are the Lord, at God’s right hand in majesty most high;

who with the Spirit, worshipped and adored; with all the heavenly host we glorify.

Words: Edwin Le Grice (1911-1992)

Music: Woodlands, Walter Greatorex (1877-1949)

Collect Almighty Lord and everlasting God, we beseech you to direct, sanctify and govern

both our hearts and bodies in the ways of your laws

and the works of your commandments; that through your most mighty protection, both here and ever,

we may be preserved in body and soul; through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,

who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever. Amen.

First Reading – Genesis 18.1-10a*

The LORD appeared to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the entrance of his tent in the heat of the day. He looked up and saw three men standing near him.

When he saw them, he ran from the tent entrance to meet them, and bowed down to the ground. He said, ‘My lord, if I find favour with you, do not pass by your

servant. Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. Let me bring a little bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and after that

you may pass on – since you have come to your servant.’ So they said, ‘Do as you have said.’ And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, ‘Make ready

quickly three measures of choice flour, knead it, and make cakes.’ Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to the servant, who hastened

to prepare it. Then he took curds and milk and the calf that he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree while they ate. They said to

Abraham, ‘Where is your wife Sarah?’ And he said, ‘There, in the tent.’ Then one said, ‘I will surely return to you in due season, and your wife Sarah shall have a son.

Second Reading – Colossians 1.15-28

Christ is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; for in him all

things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers – all things have been created through him and for him. He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything. For in him all the

fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the

blood of his cross. And you who were once estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his fleshly body through death, so as to present you

holy and blameless and irreproachable before him – provided that you continue securely established and steadfast in the faith, without shifting from the hope

promised by the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven. I, Paul, became a servant of this gospel. I am now rejoicing in my

sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am completing what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church. I became its servant according

to God’s commission that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, the mystery that has been hidden throughout the ages and generations but

has now been revealed to his saints. To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. It is he whom we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching

everyone in all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ.

Gradual Hymn

1. In Christ alone my hope is found, he is my light, my strength, my song;

this Cornerstone, this solid Ground, firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

What heights of love, what depths of peace, when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!

My Comforter, my All in All, here in the love of Christ I stand.

2. In Christ alone! – who took on flesh,

fullness of God in helpless babe! This gift of love and righteousness,

scorned by the ones he came to save: till on the cross as Jesus died,

the wrath of God was satisfied for every sin on him was laid:

here in the death of Christ I live.

3. There in the ground his body lay, light of the world by darkness slain:

Then bursting forth in glorious day up from the grave he rose again!

And as he stands in victory sin’s curse has lost its grip on me,

for I am his and he is mine – bought with the precious blood of Christ.

4. No guilt in life, no fear in death,

this is the power of Christ in me; from life’s first cry to final breath,

Jesus commands my destiny. No power of hell, no scheme of man,

can ever pluck me from his hand; till he returns or calls me home,

here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.

Gospel – Luke 10.38-42

Now as Jesus and his disciples went on their way, he entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary,

who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to what he was saying. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to Jesus and asked, ‘Lord, do you not care

that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me.’ But the Lord answered her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many

things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.’

Post Communion Prayer

Strengthen for service, Lord,

the hands that have taken holy things;

6

may the ears which have heard your word

be deaf to clamour and dispute; may the tongues which have sung your praise

be free from deceit; may the eyes which have seen the tokens of your love

shine with the light of hope; and may the bodies which have been fed with your body

be refreshed with the fullness of your life; glory to you for ever. Amen.

Christian Aid Week

Churches Together raised £2,800 this year – a lower amount than last year, but using fewer collectors. Brooke and

Langham both collected more than last year. Christian Aid likes different ways

Lunches. The Methodist Church are holding ‘Open Gardens’ for a charge.

worthwhile work of Traidcraft

Faculty Applications

Oakham PCC have applied for permissions for two projects to be

undertaken in the autumn. A. A development of the memorial garden on the south side of the

church: Following a generous offer from Oakham in Bloom, it is proposed

to replant the south side garden as a memorial space. We are grateful for all

who, up to now, have kept this area looking so beautiful, particularly,

particularly Graham Scothern for his recent work, and we are sure that this

new scheme will only enhance this area of the churchyard.

B. Proposal for the replacement of the boiler: A new boiler is proposed to be

installed in the upstairs parish office. Public notification was displayed on

Wednesday 22 June. Parishioners have until 20 July to lodge any objections. More detailed plans are

available for inspection in the parish

office or on the website.

Come and Chat

Bereavement Support

Group

For the last 3 years we have been running a Bereavement Support group

in the Parish Hall. It has been for people of all faiths or none, for those

recently bereaved or those who are still aching after many years.

However, particularly since Hildred left, it has become clear that we are

not meeting people’s needs, so the meetings on the first Thursday of the

month in the Parish Hall will now stop. We are planning to re-launch

the service in the autumn, in a different format. To help provide

something useful, we have drawn up a short questionnaire to ask those who

are bereaved what would help. If you have lost a loved one – recently or further back, please fill in one of

the Questionnaires which will be at the back of Oakham Church, or from

the website. Sian Cheverton.
