Hymn: TiS 111

1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty,

the King of creation;

O my soul, praise him, for he is your

health and salvation.

Come all who hear,

brothers and sisters draw near,

praise him in glad adoration.

2. Praise to the Lord who in all things

is wondrously reigning

and, as on wings of an eagle,

uplifting, sustaining:

have you not seen

all that is needed has been

sent by his gracious ordaining?

3. Praise to the Lord, who will

prosper our work and defend us;

surely his goodness and mercy shall

daily attend us:

ponder anew

what the Almighty can do

as with his love he befriends us.

4. Praise to the Lord, who when

darkness of sin is abounding,

who, when the godless do triumph,

our best hopes confounding,

sheds forth his light,

scatters the horrors of night,

saints with his mercy surrounding.

5. Praise to the Lord! O let all that is

in me adore him!

All that has life and breath, come

now with praises before him.

Let the Amen

sound from his people again:

gladly for ever adore him.

Joachim Neander 1650–80

tr. Catherine Winkworth 1827–78 and others

Greeting: The Lord be with you.

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

Sentence: Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed

down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the

measure you give will be the measure you get back. Luke 6.38

Prayer of Preparation:

As we gather as God's people let us pray together:

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.

The Summary of the Commandments:

‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your

God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and

with all your strength.’ Jesus said: ‘This is the great and first commandment.

And a second is like it: you shall love your neighbour as yourself.’

4

The Confession

Let us confess our sins in penitence and faith, confident in God's

forgiveness.

Merciful God, our maker and our judge,

we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed,

and in what we have failed to do:

we have not loved you with our whole heart;

we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves;

we repent, and are sorry for all our sins.

Father, forgive us. Strengthen us to love and obey you

in newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Absolution (Celebrant)

Almighty God, who has promised forgiveness to all who turn to

him in faith: pardon you and set you free from all your sins,

strengthen you in all goodness and keep you in eternal life,

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

5

Gloria – Ushaw Setting (Alan Rees)

CHOIR: Glory, Glory to God, Glory to God in the highest,

ALL:

and peace to God’s people on earth.

Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father,

we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory.

Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of God,

you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us;

you are seated at the right hand of the Father: receive our prayer.

For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord,

you alone are the Most High

Jesus Christ,

with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father.

6

Prayer of the Day

O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the

works of evil and make us your children and heirs of eternal life: grant

that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he is pure; that, when

he comes again with power and great glory, we may be made like him in

his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with you and

the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD

Readings from 'New Revised Standard Version' (NRSV)

First Reading: RUTH 4.9-17 9Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people, ‘Today you are witnesses

that I have acquired from the hand of Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech

and all that belonged to Chilion and Mahlon. 10

I have also acquired Ruth the

Moabite, the wife of Mahlon, to be my wife, to maintain the dead man’s

name on his inheritance, in order that the name of the dead may not be cut

off from his kindred and from the gate of his native place; today you are

witnesses.’ 11

Then all the people who were at the gate, along with the

elders, said, ‘We are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is

coming into your house like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the

house of Israel. May you produce children in Ephrathah and bestow a name

in Bethlehem; 12

and, through the children that the Lord will give you by this

young woman, may your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar

bore to Judah.’ 13

So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. When they

came together, the Lord made her conceive, and she bore a son. 14

Then the

women said to Naomi, ‘Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you this day

without next-of-kin; and may his name be renowned in Israel! 15

He shall be

to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age; for your daughter-

in-law who loves you, who is more to you than seven sons, has borne

him.’ 16

Then Naomi took the child and laid him in her bosom, and became

his nurse. 17

The women of the neighbourhood gave him a name, saying, ‘A

son has been born to Naomi.’ They named him Obed; he became the father

of Jesse, the father of David.

Response: Hear the word of the Lord,

THANKS BE TO GOD

7

Psalm 127 1 Unless the Lord builds the house:

their labour is but lost that build it. 2 Unless the Lord keeps the city:

the watchmen watch in vain. 3 It is in vain that you rise up early and go so late to rest, eating the bread of

toil:

for the Lord bestows honour—and on those whom he loves. 4 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord:

and the fruit of the womb is his gift. 5 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior:

are the children of one's youth. 6 Happy the man who has his quiver full of them:

he will not be put to shame when he confronts his enemies at the gate.

Second Reading: HEBREWS 9.23-28

23

Thus it was necessary for the sketches of the heavenly things to be purified

with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves need better sacrifices

than these. 24

For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by human hands, a

mere copy of the true one, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear

in the presence of God on our behalf. 25

Nor was it to offer himself again and

again, as the high priest enters the Holy Place year after year with blood that

is not his own; 26

for then he would have had to suffer again and again since

the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the

end of the age to remove sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27

And just as it is

appointed for mortals to die once, and after that the judgement, 28

so Christ,

having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second

time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

Response: Hear the word of the Lord,

THANKS BE TO GOD

8

Gradual Hymn: TiS 618

1. What does the Lord require

for praise and offering?

What sacrifice desire

or tribute bid you bring?

Do justly;

love mercy;

walk humbly with

your God.

2. Rulers of earth, give ear!

should you not justice show?

Will God your pleading hear,

while crime and cruelty grow?

Do justly;

love mercy;

walk humbly with

your God.

3. Leaders in wealth and trade,

for whom the worker toils,

think not to win God’s aid

if greed your commerce soils.

Do justly;

love mercy;

walk humbly with

your God.

4. Still down the ages ring

the prophet’s stern commands:

to merchant, worker, king,

he brings God’s high demands.

Do justly;

love mercy;

walk humbly with

your God.

5. How shall our life fulfil

God’s law so hard and high?

Let Christ endue our will

with grace to fortify.

Then justly,

in mercy,

we’ll humbly walk

with 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 Mark chapter 12

beginning at the 38th

verse.

GLORY TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.

38

As he taught, he said, ‘Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in

long robes, and to be greeted with respect in the market-places, 39

and to

have the best seats in the synagogues and places of honour at

banquets! 40

They devour widows’ houses and for the sake of appearance say

long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.’ 41

He sat down

opposite the treasury, and watched the crowd putting money into the

treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. 42

A poor widow came and put

in two small copper coins, which are worth a penny. 43

Then he called his

disciples and said to them, ‘Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more

than all those who are contributing to the treasury. 44

For all of them have

contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in

everything she had, all she had to live on.’

Gospel Response: This is the gospel of the Lord,

PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.

SERMON - (copy of sermon available at back of church)

The Nicene Creed

Let us together affirm the faith of the Church.

We believe in one God,

the Father, the almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,

the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father,

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God, begotten, not made,

of one Being with the Father;

through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven,

was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary

and became truly human.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;

he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again

in accordance with the Scriptures;

he ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge

the living and the dead,

and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son

is worshipped and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come. Amen.
