Welcome to St Margaret’s Church Ifield

Sunday 2nd April 2017 Lent 5

All are welcome to St Margaret’s and we encourage all to take part fully in this service. If you have mobility issues that make it difficult for you to

come and receive communion or laying-on-of-hands for healing, should you want to, then do please notify our sides-people, and we will come to you.

Please do stay for coffee served at the back of church after the service. There is a toilet at the back of church should you need to use it during the

service.

THE GATHERINGWe stand and sing:Hymn 349: Walter Smith.

IMMORTAL, INVISIBLE, GOD ONLY WISE,in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.

Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;thy justice like mountains high soaring abovethy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.

To all life thou givest, to both great and small;in all life thou livest, the true life of all;we blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,and wither and perish; but naught changeth thee.

‘Accept one another for the glory of God, as Christ has accepted you.’ (Romans 15:7)

Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;all laud we would render: O help us to see’tis only the splendour of light hideth thee.

THE GREETINGCelebrant The Lord be with youAll and also with you

THE PRAYER OF PREPARATIONAll Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all

desires known, and from whom no secrets are hidden: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

PRAYERS OF PENITENCECelebrant Our Lord Jesus Christ said: The first commandment is

this: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is the only Lord. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength’. The second is this: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself’. There is no other commandment greater than these. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

All Amen. Lord have mercy.

Celebrant The sacrifice of God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart God will not despise. Let us come to the Lord, who is full of compassion, and acknowledge our transgressions in penitence and faith.

‘Accept one another for the glory of God, as Christ has accepted you.’ (Romans 15:7)

All Most merciful God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we confess that we have sinned in thought, word and deed. We have not loved you with our whole heart. We have not loved our neighbours as ourselves. In your mercy forgive what we have been, help us to amend what we are, and direct what we shall be; that we may do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with you, our God. Amen

Celebrant Almighty God, who in Jesus Christ has given us a kingdom that cannot be destroyed, forgive us our sins, open our eyes to God’s truth, strengthen us to do God’s will and give us the joy of his kingdom, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

All Amen.

The Kyrie Eleison

‘Accept one another for the glory of God, as Christ has accepted you.’ (Romans 15:7)

THE COLLECTCelebrant Most merciful God, who by the death and resurrection

of your Son Jesus Christ delivered and saved the world: grant that by faith in him who suffered on the cross we may triumph in the power of his victory; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen

Hymn 556: John Bode. Copyright © Oxford University Press

O JESUS, I HAVE PROMISED to serve thee to the end; be thou forever near me, my Master and my friend: I shall not fear the battle

‘Accept one another for the glory of God, as Christ has accepted you.’ (Romans 15:7)

if thou art by my side, nor wander from the pathwayif thou be my guide.

O let me feel thee near me; the world is ever near; I see the sights that dazzle, the tempting sounds I hear; my foes are ever near me, around me and within; but, Jesus, draw thou nearer, and shield my soul from sin.

O let me hear thee speaking in accents clear still, above the storms of passion, the murmurs of self-will; O speak to reassure me, to hasten or control; O speak and make me listen, thou guardian of my soul.

O Jesus, thou hast promised, to all who follow thee, that where thou art in glory there shall thy servant be; and, Jesus, I have promised to serve thee to the end: O give me grace to follow, my Master and my friend.

‘Accept one another for the glory of God, as Christ has accepted you.’ (Romans 15:7)

O let me see thy foot-marks, and in them plant mine own; my hope to follow dulyis in thy strength alone: O guide me, call me, draw me, uphold me to the end;and then in heav’n receive me, my Saviour and my friend.

Celebrant Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation; through your goodness we have this bread and wine to offer which the earth has given and human hands have made. They will become for us the bread of life and cup of salvation.

All Blessed be God for ever.

We sit or stand for:The Eucharistic Prayer

The Lord is hereAll His Spirit is with us.

Lift up your hearts.All We lift them to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.All It is right to give thanks and praise.

Celebrant It is indeed right and good to give you thanks and praise, almighty God and everlasting Father, through Jesus Christ your Son. For in these forty days you lead us into the desert of repentance that through a

‘Accept one another for the glory of God, as Christ has accepted you.’ (Romans 15:7)

pilgrimage of prayer and discipline we may grow in grace and learn to be your people once again.

Through fasting, prayer and acts of service you bring us back to your generous heart. Through study of your holy word you open our eyes to your presence in the world and free our hands to welcome others into the radiant splendour of your love.As we prepare to celebrate the Easter feast with joyful hearts and minds we bless you for your mercy and join with saints and angels for ever praising you and singing:

(A Gregory Murray©1975,1987 McCrimmon Publishing Co Ltd)All Holy, holy, holy Lord,

God of power and might,Heaven and earth are full of your glory.Hosanna in the highest.Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.Hosanna in the highest.

We praise and bless you, loving Father, through Jesus Christ, our Lord; and as we obey his command, send your Holy Spirit, that broken bread and wine outpoured may be for us the body and blood of your dear Son.

On the night before he died he had supper with his friends and, taking bread, he praised you. He broke the bread, gave it to them and said: Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me.

‘Accept one another for the glory of God, as Christ has accepted you.’ (Romans 15:7)

When supper was ended he took the cup of wine. Again he praised you, gave it to them and said: Drink this, all of you; this is my blood of the new covenant,which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.

So, Father, we remember all that Jesus did, in him we plead with confidence his sacrifice made once for all upon the cross. Bringing before you the bread of life and cup of salvation, we proclaim his death and resurrection until he comes in glory.

Great is the mystery of Faith:All Christ has died

Christ is risenChrist will come again

Lord of all life, help us to work together for that daywhen your kingdom comes and justice and mercy will be seen in all the earth. Look with favour on your people, gather us in your loving arms and bring us with St Margaret and all the saints to feast at your table in heaven. Through Christ, and with Christ, and in Christ,in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honour and glory are yours, O loving Father, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer‘Accept one another for the glory of God, as Christ has accepted you.’

(Romans 15:7)

All Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,your kingdom come, your will be done,on earth as in heaven.Give us today our daily bread.Forgive us our sins,as we forgive those who sin against us.Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yoursnow and forever. Amen.

The Breaking of the BreadThe Priest breaks the consecrated bread

We break this bread to share in the body of Christ.All Though we are many, we are one body,

because we all share in one bread.

The Giving of CommunionJesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Blessed are those who are called to his supper.

All Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and I shall be healed.

Draw near with faith. Receive the body of our Lord Jesus Christ which he gave for you, and his blood which he shed for you. Eat and drink in remembrance that he died for you, and feed on him in your hearts by faith with thanksgiving.

‘Accept one another for the glory of God, as Christ has accepted you.’ (Romans 15:7)

All We do not presume to come to this your table, merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in your manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under your table. But you are the same Lord whose nature is always to have mercy. Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of your 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.

We sing the Agnus Dei. (A Gregory Murray©1975,1987 McCrimmon Publishing Co Ltd)

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: grant us peace.

All are welcome to either come and receive Communion or a blessing. If you would like a blessing rather than to receive Communion (the bread and

wine) then please keep hold of your service sheet as you approach the servers at front of the church.

Laying on of hands for healing is offered in the south aisle chapel during the distribution of communion. This ministry is offered for your own

needs or for someone who maybe on your heart and mind at this time.

Those who are going into hospital in the coming week, or for some other reason, and who would like to be anointed with oil of healing and prayed for by a priest please do have a word with a priest after the service – they

will gladly offer you this ministry.

‘Accept one another for the glory of God, as Christ has accepted you.’ (Romans 15:7)

Communion HymnsHymn 91: Richard Gillard. Copyright © 1977 Scripture in Song

BROTHER, SISTER, LET ME SERVE YOU, let me be as Christ to you; pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant, too.

We are pilgrims on a journey, fellow trav’llers on the road; we are here to help each other walk the mile and bear the load.

I will hold the Christlight for you in the night-time of your fear; I will hold my hand out to you, speak the peace you long to hear.

I will weep when you are weeping; when you laugh, I’ll laugh with you. I will share your joy and sorrow till we’ve seen this journey through.

When we sing to God in heaven, we shall find such harmony, born of all we’ve known together of Christ’s love and agony.

Brother, sister, let me serve you, let me be as Christ to you; pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant, too.

‘Accept one another for the glory of God, as Christ has accepted you.’ (Romans 15:7)

The Prayers after CommunionCelebrant Lord Jesus Christ, you have taught us that what we do

for the least of our brothers and sisters we do also for you: give us the will to be the servant of others as you were the servant of all, and gave up your life and died for us, but are alive and reign, now and forever. Amen.

All Father of all, we give you thanks and praise, that when we were still far off you met us in your Son and brought us home. Dying and living, he declared your love, gave us grace, and opened the gate of glory. May we who share Christ’s body live his risen life; we who drink his cup bring life to others; we whom the Spirit lights give light to the world. Keep us firm in the hope you have set before us, so we and all your children shall be free, and the whole earth live to praise your name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE BLESSING

Celebrant Christ give you grace to grow in holiness, to deny yourselves, take up your cross, and follow him; and the blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among you and remain with you always.

All Amen.

‘Accept one another for the glory of God, as Christ has accepted you.’ (Romans 15:7)

When I stand in gloryI will see His face,and there I'll serve my King foreverin that holy place.

Chaplain in Athens – what’s in a job? Since announcing that I had been appointed as Senior Chaplain of the Greater Athens Chaplaincy there has been some interest in what exactly I will be doing there. Here is a quick summary of the key components of the role.

1. There is a lovely Anglican church, dedicated to St. Paul, in Philellinou St. in Athens. This is in central Athens, just off Syntagma Square. The church has been there since the mid 1800s. There is of course a congregation of English speaking Christians there, which is a mix of British or American people who have worked or are working in Athens; an increasing number of English speaking Africans; and a number of Greeks who have ceased worshipping in the Orthodox church.

2. In the ‘greater’ Athens chaplaincy there is a church in Crete with a part time Asst Chaplain; a church in Patras which is lay led; a small congregation house church in the very north of Athens; and a congregation that meets in a Lutheran school in the north of Greece in Thessaloniki. The Senior Chaplain has the oversight of all of these. In addition, it is possible to have one of the chaplains to ‘bless’ a UK marriage on any of the popular tourist islands.

3. Working alongside the Greek Orthodox Church and the Salvation Army, the Chaplain is involved in the work of feeding some 800 people in central Athens every day. The social wing of the Orthodox Church is called Apostoli. These meals are not really aimed at migrants and refugees, but Greeks who have been adversely hit by the Greek financial crisis.

‘Accept one another for the glory of God, as Christ has accepted you.’ (Romans 15:7)

4. The Anglican Church in Greece has had a deep commitment to respond to the refugee challenges. The present Senior Chaplain, Fr. Malcolm, was recently decorated with a CBE for his work in this field. The Asst. Curate, Deacon Christine, is now being funded by the United Society for the Propogation of the Gospel (USPG) to work 20 hours a week with refugees, and the Senior Chaplain has developed good links with other relief agencies and UNHCR.

5. The Senior Chaplain, in a separate appointment, is Apokrisiarios of The Archbishop of Canterbury to the Archbishop of Athens and All Greece. This is a diplomatic role and includes the planning of visits between the two Archbishops or their Delegations, the sharing of correspondence at appropriate times of the year, and a presence at some key events in the life of the Greek church.

6. I am also to be appointed as Area Dean. It used to be called the Deanery of the Aegean, but I’m not sure what they call it now. Anyway, the Deanery includes the four chaplaincies in Turkey, the Chaplaincy in Corfu, and those chaplaincies in the Balkan countries to the north of Greece.

So, very briefly, that is what I will be doing for up to the next ten years. It should be interesting, to say the least! Leonard Doolan
