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: In Christ, God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting
their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation
to us. 2 Corinthians 5.19
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.
3
Prayer of the Day
Almighty God,
without you we are unable to please you:
mercifully grant that your Holy Spirit
may in all things direct and rule our hearts;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD Readings from 'New Revised Standard Version' (NRSV)
First Reading: 1 SAMUEL 15.34 - 16.13 34
Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house in Gibeah of
Saul. 35
Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death, but Samuel
grieved over Saul. And the Lord was sorry that he had made Saul king over
Israel. 1The Lord said to Samuel, ‘How long will you grieve over Saul? I have
rejected him from being king over Israel. Fill your horn with oil and set out; I
will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided for myself a
king among his sons.’ 2Samuel said, ‘How can I go? If Saul hears of it, he will
kill me.’ And the Lord said, ‘Take a heifer with you, and say, “I have come to
sacrifice to the Lord .” 3Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you
what you shall do; and you shall anoint for me the one whom I name to
you.’ 4Samuel did what the Lord commanded, and came to Bethlehem. The
elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, ‘Do you come
peaceably?’ 5He said, ‘Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord ;
sanctify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.’ And he sanctified
Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice. 6When they came, he
looked on Eliab and thought, ‘Surely the Lord ’s anointed is now before the
Lord .’ 7But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not look on his appearance or on
the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for the Lord does not
see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the
Lord looks on the heart.’ 8Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass
before Samuel. He said, ‘Neither has the Lord chosen this one.’ 9Then Jesse
made Shammah pass by. And he said, ‘Neither has the Lord chosen this
one.’ 10
Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, and Samuel said
to Jesse, ‘The Lord has not chosen any of these.’ 11
Samuel said to Jesse,
4
‘Are all your sons here?’ And he said, ‘There remains yet the youngest, but
he is keeping the sheep.’ And Samuel said to Jesse, ‘Send and bring him; for
we will not sit down until he comes here.’ 12
He sent and brought him in.
Now he was ruddy, and had beautiful eyes, and was handsome. The
Lord said, ‘Rise and anoint him; for this is the one.’ 13
Then Samuel took the
horn of oil, and anointed him in the presence of his brothers; and the spirit
of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward. Samuel then
set out and went to Ramah.
Response: Hear the word of the Lord,
THANKS BE TO GOD
Psalm: 20
1 May the Lord hear you in the day of trouble:
the God of Jacob lift you up to safety.
2 May he send you his help from the sanctuary:
and be your strong support from Zion.
3 May he remember all your offerings:
and accept with favour your burnt sacrifices,
4 Grant you your heart’s desire:
and fulfil all your purposes.
5 May we also rejoice in your victory and triumph in the name of our God:
the Lord perform all your petitions.
6 Now I know that the Lord will save his anointed:
that he will answer him from his holy heaven with the victorious strength
of his right hand.
7 Some put their trust in chariots and some in horses:
but we will trust in the name of the Lord our God.
8 They are brought down and fallen:
but we are made strong and stand upright.
9 O Lord, save the king:
and hear us when we call upon you.
5
Second Reading: 2 CORINTHIANS 5.6-10, 14-17 6So we are always confident; even though we know that while we are at home in
the body we are away from the Lord—7for we walk by faith, not by sight.
8Yes,
we do have confidence, and we would rather be away from the body and at
home with the Lord. 9So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to
please him. 10
For all of us must appear before the judgement seat of Christ, so
that each may receive recompense for what has been done in the body, whether
good or evil. 14
For the love of Christ urges us on, because we are convinced that
one has died for all; therefore all have died. 15
And he died for all, so that those
who live might live no longer for themselves, but for him who died and was
raised for them. 16
From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human
point of view; even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we
know him no longer in that way. 17
So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new
creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!
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 Mark chapter 4 beginning
at the 26th
verse.
GLORY TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST. 26
He also said, ‘The kingdom of God is as if someone would scatter seed on the
ground, 27
and would sleep and rise night and day, and the seed would sprout and
grow, he does not know how. 28
The earth produces of itself, first the stalk, then
the head, then the full grain in the head. 29
But when the grain is ripe, at once he
goes in with his sickle, because the harvest has come.’ 30
He also said, ‘With what
can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable will we use for it? 31
It is
like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the
seeds on earth; 32
yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all
shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests
in its shade.’ 33
With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they
were able to hear it; 34
he did not speak to them except in parables, but he
explained everything in private to his disciples.
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.

We remember before God with thanksgiving the lives of Tom Burke (2011),
Elizabeth Vrana (2009), Helen Gordon (2011) as we come to the anniversary
of their entry into your nearer presence.
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.
9
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
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.
10
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.
13
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.

High Altar flowers today are in Memory of Tom Burke from Julie.
Op Shop: The MMA Op Shop has moved to 301 Whitehorse Rd, Balwyn.
Thank You: for those who supported the Donkey Shelter sponsorship. $250 was
raised.
Building Project: The architects briefed the building committee during the week
on their ideas of how to manage the change of levels over the High St area. The
members of the committee are very pleased with their ideas and following our
discussions the architects will prepare an updated proposal suitable for
presentation to the parish. However, the weakness in the current property
market is presenting some concerns in providing sufficient finances for the
project. We are presently looking at options open to the parish, and these
include carrying a higher debt, reducing the scope of the building or delaying the
project. We hope to be able to give a full report to the parish early in July.
