Hymn: TiS 231

1. At the name of Jesus

every knee shall bow,

every tongue confess him

King of Glory now:

this the Father’s pleasure

that we call him Lord,

who from the beginning

was the mighty Word.

2. Humbled for a season

to receive a name

from the lips of sinners

unto whom he came,

faithfully he bore it

spotless to the last,

brought it back victorious

when from death he passed.

3. In your hearts enthrone him,

there let him make new

all that is not holy,

all that is not true.

He is God the Saviour,

he is Christ the Lord,

ever to be worshipped,

trusted and adored.

4. When this same Lord Jesus

shall appear again

in his Father’s glory,

there with him to reign,

then may we adore him,

all before him bow,

as our hearts confess him

King of Glory now.

Greeting: The Lord be with you.

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

Sentence: You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he

was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty you

might become rich. 2 Corinthians 8.9

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.’

Kyrie eleison (How Setting)

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.

Prayer of the Day

O God, you are rich in love for your people: show us the treasure that

endures and, when we are tempted by greed, call us back into your

service and make us worthy to be entrusted with the wealth that never

fails. We ask this through your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and

reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD

Readings from 'New Revised Standard Version' (NRSV)

First Reading: Jeremiah 8.18 - 9.1

8 18

My joy is gone, grief is upon me, my heart is sick. 19

Hark, the cry of my poor people from far and wide in the land:

‘Is the Lord not in Zion? Is her King not in her?’

(‘Why have they provoked me to anger with their images, with their foreign

idols?’) 20

‘The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.’ 21

For the hurt of my poor people I am hurt, I mourn, and dismay has taken

hold of me. 22

Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there?

Why then has the health of my poor people not been restored? 9 1 O that my head were a spring of water, and my eyes a fountain of tears,

so that I might weep day and night for the slain of my poor people!

Response: Hear the word of the Lord,

THANKS BE TO GOD

8

Psalm 79.1-9

1 O God, the heathen have come into your land:

they have defiled your holy temple,

they have made Jerusalem a heap of tones. 2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants

as food to the birds of the air:

and the flesh of your faithful ones

to the wild beasts of the earth. 3 Their blood they have spilt like water

on every side of Jerusalem:

and there is none to bury them. 4 We have become a mockery to our neighbours:

the scorn and laughing-stock of those about us. 5 How long, O Lord, shall your anger be so extreme:

will your jealous fury burn like fire? 6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you:

on the kingdoms that have not called upon your name. 7 For they have devoured Jacob:

and made his dwelling-place a desolation. 8 Do not remember against us the sin of former times:

but let your compassion hasten to meet us,

for we are brought very low. 9 Help us, O God our saviour,

for the honour of your name:

O deliver us and expiate our sins, for your name’s sake. 10

Why should the heathen say ‘Where is their God?’:

O let vengeance for the blood of your servants that is shed

be shown upon the nations in our sight.

Second Reading: 1 Timothy 2.1-10 1 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and

thanksgivings should be made for everyone, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and

peaceable life in all godliness and dignity. 3 This is right and is acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,

4 who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind,

Christ Jesus, himself human, 6 who gave himself a ransom for all—this was

9

attested at the right time. 7 For this I was appointed a herald and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not

lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 8 I desire, then, that in every place the men should pray, lifting up holy hands

without anger or argument; 9 also that the women should dress themselves

modestly and decently in suitable clothing, not with their hair braided, or with

gold, pearls, or expensive clothes, 10

but with good works, as is proper for women

who profess reverence for God.

Response: Hear the word of the Lord,

THANKS BE TO GOD

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 Luke chapter 16 beginning

at the 1st

verse.

GLORY TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.

1 Then Jesus said to the disciples, ‘There was a rich man who had a manager, and

charges were brought to him that this man was squandering his property. 2 So he

summoned him and said to him, “What is this that I hear about you? Give me an

account of your management, because you cannot be my manager any

longer.” 3 Then the manager said to himself, “What will I do, now that my master

is taking the position away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am

ashamed to beg. 4 I have decided what to do so that, when I am dismissed as

manager, people may welcome me into their homes.” 5 So, summoning his

master’s debtors one by one, he asked the first, “How much do you owe my

master?” 6 He answered, “A hundred jugs of olive oil.” He said to him, “Take your

bill, sit down quickly, and make it fifty.” 7 Then he asked another, “And how much

do you owe?” He replied, “A hundred containers of wheat.” He said to him, “Take

your bill and make it eighty.” 8 And his master commended the dishonest

manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the children of this age are more

shrewd in dealing with their own generation than are the children of light. 9 And I

tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of dishonest wealth so that when it

is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal homes. 10

‘Whoever is faithful in a

very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is

dishonest also in much. 11

If then you have not been faithful with the dishonest

wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? 12

And if you have not been

faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own? 13

No

slave can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the

other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and

wealth.’

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.

GENERAL NOTICES

Birthday: Helen Granowski (last Friday), Julie Burke (Tuesday),

Roy Stanley (Tuesday) Val Batson (Friday)

VESTRY REPORT: The 2 major items discussed at vestry during the week related

to our response to the Diocesan Property Committee concerning the new building

project. An information sheet is available. The second related to the budget for

2014, which currently shows a deficit of nearly $30,000, primarily due to costs

rising faster than our income. The vestry is aiming to reduce this deficit to $20,000

as a first step towards maintaining a sustainable financial strategy for the future.

Savings are planned in reduced advertising in the local paper, a reduction in the

subsidy we provide for the Chinese ministry at Trinity Grammar School, a

reduction in the number of extra services at which music is provided, and by

reducing the costs of pew sheet production by having a set reusable booklet and a

smaller weekly sheet. Further savings will need to be looked at early in 2014,

which may include staffing levels.

Holiday arrangements: While Roy is on leave from 1st

– 14th

October, for business

matters of the parish please contact Barbara Thomson, 9817 7184. For pastoral

matters please contact Pam Hughes 9855 8279 who will arrange for appropriate

and 10am services by The Rev’d Dr Norman Curry. Other services will be led by

members of our excellent ALM team.

Parish ANNUAL meeting: is set for Sunday 17th

November. Nominations for

Warden, Vestry and Incumbency Committee members will be received by the

Vicar until Friday 8th

November. Application forms for the electoral roll (which

enables you to vote at the Annual Meeting) are available.

A Retiring Collection: next week will support the Anglican Outback Fund.

Parish Meeting: to provide an update on the proposed building project will be

held at 11am on Sunday 29th September after a shortened service. A number of

issues have arisen from Diocesan decisions that require a discussion with parish

members before a decision is made by Vestry. An information sheet will be

available on the 22nd September.

Tax Deductible Donations to Holy Trinity can be made for the 'Building Appeal'

through the National Trust, OR for 'Family Ministry' through the Anglican
