8:00am Holy Communion*

10:30am Family Service and Baptism**

The Order of Service is contained in the separate Service Book.

Opening Hymn**

1. I heard the voice of Jesus say,

‘Come unto me and rest;

lay down, thou weary one, lay down

thy head upon my breast.’

I came to Jesus as I was,

Weary and worn and sad;

I found in him a resting-place,

and he has made me glad.


‘Behold, I freely give

the living water, thirsty one;

stoop down and drink and live.’

I came to Jesus, and I drank

of that life-giving stream;

my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,

and now I live in him.


‘I am this dark world’s light;

look unto me, thy morn shall rise,

and all thy day be bright’:

I looked to Jesus, and I found

in him my star, my sun;

and in that light of life I’ll walk

till travelling days are done.

Words: Horatius N Bonar (1808-1889)

Music: Kingsfold, melody from English Country Songs 1893, collected by John Alexander Fuller Maitland (1856-1936),

harmonised by Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958)

(Ancient & Modern – 669)

Collect

Almighty and everlasting God,

increase in us your gift of faith

that, forsaking what lies behind

and reaching out to that which is before,

we may run the way of your commandments

and win the crown of everlasting joy;

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.

4

First Reading – Isaiah 45.1-7**

Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped to

subdue nations before him and strip kings of their robes, to open doors before him – and

the gates shall not be closed: I will go before you and level the mountains, I will break in

pieces the doors of bronze and cut through the bars of iron, I will give you the treasures

of darkness and riches hidden in secret places, so that you may know that it is I, the

LORD, the God of Israel, who call you by your name. For the sake of my servant Jacob,

and Israel my chosen, I call you by your name, I surname you, though you do not know

me. I am the LORD, and there is no other; besides me there is no god. I arm you, though

you do not know me, 6so that they may know, from the rising of the sun and from the

west, that there is no one besides me; I am the LORD, and there is no other. I form light

and create darkness, I make weal and create woe; I the LORD do all these things.

Second Reading – 1 Thessalonians 1.1-10*

Paul, Silas and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord

Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you. We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in

our prayers. We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by

faith, your labour prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus

Christ. For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel

came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep

conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake. You became imitators of us

and of the Lord; in spite of severe suffering, you welcomed the message with the joy given by

the Holy Spirit. And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. The

Lord’s message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia – your faith in God has

become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it, for they

themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God

from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he

raised from the dead – Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.

Gospel – Matthew 22.15-22

When the chief priests and Pharisees had heard the parables, they realized that Jesus was

speaking about them. Then the Pharisees went and plotted to entrap him in what he said.

So they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, ‘Teacher, we know

that you are sincere, and teach the way of God in accordance with truth, and show

deference to no one; for you do not regard people with partiality. Tell us, then, what you

think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to the emperor, or not?’ But Jesus, aware of their malice, said,

‘Why are you putting me to the test, you hypocrites? Show me the coin used for the tax.’

And they brought him a denarius. Then he said to them, ‘Whose head is this, and whose

title?’ They answered, ‘The emperor’s.’ Then he said to them, ‘Give therefore to the

emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.’ When

they heard this, they were amazed; and they left him and went away.

Hymn after the Sermon**

1. The love of God comes close

where stands an open door

to let the stranger in,

to mingle rich and poor.

The love of God is here to stay,

embracing those who walk his way.

2. The peace of God comes close

to those caught in the storm,

foregoing lives of ease

to ease the lives forlorn.

The peace of God …

3. The joy of God comes close

where faith encounters fears,

where heights and depths of life

are found through smiles and tears.

The joy of God …

4. The grace of God comes close

to those who grace is spent,

when hearts are tired or sore

and hope is bruised and bent.

The grace of God …

5. The Son of God comes close

where people praise his name,

where bread and wine are blest

and shared as when he came.

The Son of God …

Offertory Hymn**

1. Name of all majesty,

fathomless mystery,

King of all ages

by angels adored;

power and authority,

splendour and dignity,

bow to his mastery,

Jesus is Lord!

2. Child of our destiny,

God from eternity,

love of the Father

on sinners outpoured;

see now what God has done

sending his only Son,

Christ the beloved One,

Jesus is Lord!

3. Saviour of Calvary,

costliest victory,

darkness defeated

and Eden restored;

born as a man to die,

nailed to a cross on high.

cold in the grave to lie,

Jesus is Lord!

4. Source of all sovereignty,

light, immortality,

life everlasting

and heaven assured;

so with the ransomed, we

praise him eternally,

Christ in his majesty,

Jesus is Lord!

Words: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b 1926)

Final Hymn**

1. Let us build a house where love can dwell

and all can safely live,

a place where saints and children tell

how hearts learn to forgive.

Built of hopes and dreams and visions,

rock of faith and vault of grace;

here the love of Christ shall end divisions:

All are welcome, all are welcome

all are welcome in this place

2. Let us build a house where prophets speak

and words are strong and true,

where all God’s children dare to seek

to dream God’s reign anew.

Here the cross shall stand as witness

and as symbol of God’s grace;

here as one we claim the faith of Jesus.

3. Let us build a house where love is found

in water, wine and wheat:

a banquet hall on holy ground

where peace and justice meet.

Here the love of God, through Jesus,

is revealed in time and space;

as we share in Christ the feast that frees us

4. Let us build a house where hands will reach

beyond the wood and stone

to heal and strengthen, serve and teach,

and live the Word they’ve known.

Here the outcast and the stranger

bear the image of God’s face;

let us bring an end to fear and danger:

5. Let us build a house where all are named

their songs and visions heard

and loved and treasured, taught and claimed,

as words within the Word.

Build of tears and cries and laughter,

prayers of faith and songs of grace,

let this house proclaim from floor to rafter

Post Communion Prayer*

We praise and thank you, O Christ, for this sacred feast:

for here we receive you,

here the memory of your passion is renewed,

here our minds are filled with grace,

and here a pledge of future glory is given,

when we shall feast at that table where you reign

with all your saints for ever. Amen.
