4:00pm Church@4

Welcome and Opening Prayer

Grace, mercy and peace from God our Father

and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

And also with you.

This is the day that the Lord has made.

Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Loving Lord,

fill us with your life-giving,

joy-giving, peace-giving presence,

that we may praise you now with our lips

and all day long with our lives

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hymn

1. The Spirit lives to set us free,

walk, walk in the light;

he binds us all in unity,

walk, walk in the light.

Walk in the light,

Walk in the light,

Walk in the light,

Walk in the light of the Lord.

2. Jesus promised life to all,


the dead were wakened by His call,


3. He died in pain on Calvary ,


to save the lost like you and me,


4. We know His death was not the end,


he gave His Spirit to be our friend,


5. By Jesus’ love our wounds are healed,


the Father’s kindness is revealed,


6. The Spirit lives in you and me,


his light will shine for all to see,

and bring us to everlasting life.

Amen.

Bible Reading – Acts 2.1-21

The Day of Pentecost

When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly

from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire

house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a

tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to

speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. Now there were devout Jews

from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd

gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native

language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, ‘Are not all these who are speaking

Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? Parthians,

Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors

from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs – in our own languages we

hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.’ All were amazed and perplexed, saying

to one another, ‘What does this mean?’ But others sneered and said, ‘They are filled with

new wine.’ But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them:

‘Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I

say. Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the

morning. No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: “In the last days it will

be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your

daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall

dream dreams. Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out

my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. And I will show portents in the heaven above and

signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist. The sun shall be turned to

darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day.

Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Talk

Hymn

Spirit of God, unseen as the wind,

gentle as is the dove,

teach us the truth and help us believe,

show us the Saviour's love.

1. You spoke to us long, long ago,

gave us the written word;

we read it still, needing its truth,

through it God's voice is heard.

2. Without your help we fail our Lord,

we cannot live his way;

we need your power, we need your strength,

following Christ each day.

Activity

Prayers

The Lord’s Prayer

As Jesus taught us to pray:

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 yours

now and for ever. Amen.

Hymn

1. Colours of day dawn into the mind,

the sun has come up, the night is behind.

Go down in the city, into the street,

and let's give the message to the people we meet.

So light up the fire and let the flame burn,

open the door, let Jesus return.

Take seeds of His Spirit, let the fruit grow,

tell the people of Jesus, let his love show.

2. Go through the park, on into the town;

the sun still shines on;, it never goes down.

The light of the world is risen again;

the people of darkness are needing a friend.

3. Open your eyes, look into the sky,

the darkness has come, the sun came to die.

The evening draws on, the sun disappears,

but Jesus is living, his Spirit is near.

Clock Restoration

Appeal

A fundraising appeal to preserve the

historic clock in Oakham church tower

was launched last week with a front

page article in the Rutland Mercury.

The clock is an important timepiece,

installed in 1858 by Dent & Co, widely

regarded as the finest clockmaker in

19th century Britain, and is now in

need of restoration and upgrading. For

more details about the clock and the

appeal please see the website.

Churchwardens &

Treasurers Meeting

Please note that the meeting

scheduled for 17 May will NOT take

place – a date will be fixed for the

Autumn and notified in due course.

Icons for All

An Icon writing retreat takes place

in June and July at Ketton, led by Revd

Iann Holdsworth. In recent times

Icons have become more widely used

and venerated in the Western

Church. They have a depth and power

which draws one into a deeper prayer

life. Icons for All is a small group of

Iconographers led by Revd Ian

Holdsworth who are committed to

establishing Icons within the

mainstream of UK Church life. The

course runs over five Saturdays of

work and prayer – 4/11/18 June and

2/9 July at Ketton Church Hall, from

10am to 5pm. Traditional materials

will be used, including 22ct Gold,

Earth and Mineral pigments on a

linden wood panel covered with

marble gesso. All equipment and

materials are included in the course

fee of £85. For more information,

please see the website, or contact Ian

Holdsworth ~

[email protected] or 01604

761104.

Thy Kingdom Come

The Archbishops of Canterbury and

York are inviting churches to pray for

the evangelisation of the nation during

the week before Pentecost Sunday.

This has been reflected in our

weekdays services over the last week,

including the Ministry Team meeting

for an hour of prayer on Thursday,

and culminates in various .Beacon

Events’ across the country this

weekend. Please see the website for

more details.
