Gloria

1. Glory be to God in heaven,

and to all on earth, his peace;

Lord and Father, King in glory,

gifts of praise in us release,

so our worship and thanksgiving

from our hearts will never cease.

2. Christ incarnate, sent by Father

to redeem, renew, restore;

risen Lamb, in glory seated,

hear our prayers, Lord, we implore.

Now to Father, Son and Spirit

be all glory evermore.

Words: John Richards (1843-1901) Music: Regent Square, Henry Thomas Smart (1813-1879) (Mission Praise – 175)

The Collect

Almighty Father, whose Son was revealed in majesty

before he suffered death upon the cross:

give us grace to perceive his glory,

that we may be strengthened to suffer with him

and be changed into his likeness, from glory to glory;

who is alive and reigns with you,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever. Amen.

First Reading – Exodus 34.29-35

Moses came down from Mount Sinai. As he came down from the mountain with the

two tablets of the covenant in his hand, Moses did not know that the skin of his face

shone because he had been talking with God. When Aaron and all the Israelites saw

Moses, the skin of his face was shining, and they were afraid to come near him. But

Moses called to them; and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to

him, and Moses spoke with them. Afterwards all the Israelites came near, and he

gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.

When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face; but whenever

Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he would take the veil off, until

he came out; and when he came out, and told the Israelites what he had been

commanded, the Israelites would see the face of Moses, that the skin of his face was

shining; and Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with

him.

Second Reading – 2 Corinthians 3.12–4.2

Since we have such a hope, we act with great boldness, not like Moses, who put a

veil over his face to keep the people of Israel from gazing at the end of the glory that

was being set aside. But their minds were hardened. Indeed, to this very day, when

they hear the reading of the old covenant, that same veil is still there, since only in

Christ is it set aside. Indeed, to this very day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over

their minds; but when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. Now the Lord is

the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And all of us, with

4

unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being

transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another; for this

comes from the Lord, the Spirit. Therefore, since it is by God’s mercy that we are

engaged in this ministry, we do not lose heart. We have renounced the shameful

things that one hides; we refuse to practise cunning or to falsify God’s word; but by

the open statement of the truth we commend ourselves to the conscience of

everyone in the sight of God.

Gospel Reading – Luke 9.28-36[37-43a]

Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.

And while he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became

dazzling white. Suddenly they saw two men, Moses and Elijah, talking to him. They

appeared in glory and were speaking of his departure, which he was about to

accomplish at Jerusalem. Now Peter and his companions were weighed down with

sleep; but since they had stayed awake, they saw his glory and the two men who stood

with him. Just as they were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, ‘Master, it is good for us to

be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.’

Peter did not know what he said. While he was saying this, a cloud came and

overshadowed them; and they were terrified as they entered the cloud. Then from the

cloud came a voice that said, ‘This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!’ When the

voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And the disciples kept silent and in those days

told no one any of the things they had seen. [On the next day, when they had come

down from the mountain, a great crowd met him. Just then a man from the crowd

shouted, ‘Teacher, I beg you to look at my son; he is my only child. Suddenly a spirit

seizes him, and all at once he shrieks. It throws him into convulsions until he foams at

the mouth; it mauls him and will scarcely leave him. I begged your disciples to cast it

out, but they could not.’ Jesus answered, ‘You faithless and perverse generation, how

much longer must I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.’ While he

was coming, the demon dashed him to the ground in convulsions. But Jesus rebuked

the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. And all were

astounded at the greatness of God. Everyone was amazed at all that he was doing.]

Post Communion Prayer Holy God,

we see your glory in the face of Jesus Christ:

may we who are partakers at his table

reflect his life in word and deed,

that all the world may know his power to change and save.

This we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Final 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!

Welcome to our new

Curate

We welcome the Revd Owen Williams,

who has joined the Oakham Team this

week as Assistant Curate. Owen was

ordained deacon in 2013 and priest in

2014, previously serving as Assistant

worked in computing down in Brighton.

Help Needed

As you know, we take part in Christian

Aid Week each year. This year, our

treasurer has had to withdraw after some

years’ service, so we need a treasurer for

the period 15 to 24 May. This doesn’t

involve complicated accounts, but the

ability to count the coins donated, and pay

them into the bank. If you can help with

this importannt task, please ring Peter

Townsend on 759286, or leave a

message.

Oakham PCC

At the meeting on 25 January,

Oakham PCC received a presentation

from Oakham in Bloom with a

proposal to redevelop the Garden of

Remembrance on the south side of

the church, and permission will be

sought to proceed with this. Plans for

the new boiler are progressing, and it

is hoped a faculty application will be

ready for the next meeting. A faculty

will be sought for upgrading and

automating the church clock winding

and striking mechanisms. Full minutes

are available on the noticeboard by

the north door.

Rutland Foodbank

The Foodbank is currently short of

the following items – your help in

providing some of them would be
