Annual Meeting - Synod Representatives Last week we made
provision for the election of Synod Repre-sentatives - as there
were only two nominations an election was not required. We
therefore de-clared Judith Wright and Mal-colm Tadgell as our Lay
Repre-sentatives. We have and Alter-nate Lay Representative, the
Wardens would be pleased to hear from a Parish member who would be
willing and interested in filling this position
From our Locum Vicar
“A very warm welcome to all our visitors today and especially
members of the British and Commonwealth Societies and the British
Consul General, Mr. Chris Holtby. We shall remember our sovereign,
Queen Elizabeth in word, prayer and music and all who serve the
common good. Many thanks to all who made time to attend the Parish
Consultation last Sunday, I believe over 30 parishioners. As
facilitator I was delighted with the level of input, discussion and
the intelligent and thoughtful way you contributed to the day. Well
done all. We have had a couple of wonderful responses to our plea
for Office Administration support - I have every confidence that we
will seamlessly make the transition to a new phase for the Parish
Office. Next Sunday is the Feast of Pentecost, Service times as
normal - but can I encourage you to wear something RED to celebrate
the day. Red represents the fire of the Holy Spirit.

St George’s Anglican Church | Malvern
Sunday after Ascension 2 June 2019 Sentence God has raised
Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the
heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and
dominion, and above every name that is named. Ephesians 1-20
Collect
O God, the King of glory, you have exalted your only Son Jesus
Christ with great triumph to your kingdom in heaven: we pray you,
leave us not comfortless, but send your Holy Spirit to strengthen
us, and exalt us to the same place where our Saviour Christ has
gone before; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles In the first book,
Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the
beginning until the day when he was taken up to heaven, after
giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apos-tles whom
he had chosen. After his suffering he presented himself alive to
them by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over the course
of forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. While staying
with them, he ordered them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait
there for the promise of the Father. ‘This’, he said, ‘is what you
have heard from me; for John baptized with water, but you will be
baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.’
So when they had come together, they asked him, ‘Lord, is this
the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?’ He replied,
‘It is not for you to know the times or periods that the Father has
set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy
Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in
Jerusalem, in all Ju-dea and Samaria, and to the ends of the
earth.’ When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted
up, and a cloud took him out of

their sight. While he was going and they were gazing up towards
heav-en, suddenly two men in white robes stood by them. They said,
‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up towards heaven? This
Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the
same way as you saw him go into heaven.’
Acts 1.1-11
Reader Hear the word of the Lord
All Thanks be to God
Psalm 110 at 8am APBA, page 342, at 10am TiS 55
This psalm combines thanksgiving for harvest with prayer for
continued bless-ings. It serves as a thanksgiving for the
resurrection and for the continuation of the fruit of risen life in
the church and its spread to all nations.
A reading from the Paul’s letter to the Ephesians
I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love
towards all the saints, and for this reason I do not cease to give
thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. I pray that the God
of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a
spirit of wisdom and revela-tion as you come to know him, so that,
with the eyes of your heart en-lightened, you may know what is the
hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his
glorious inheritance among the saints, and what is the immeasurable
greatness of his power for us who believe, according to the working
of his great power. God put this power to work in Christ when he
raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the
heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and
dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age
but also in the age to come. And he has put all things under his
feet and has made him the head over all things for the church,
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Ephesians 1.15-23
Reader May your word live in us,
ALL And bear much fruit to your glory.

Reader The Lord be with you
ALL And also with you
Reader A reading from the holy gospel according to Luke
ALL Glory to you Lord Jesus Christ.
Then he said to them, ‘These are my words that I spoke to you
while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the
law of Mo-ses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled.’
Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and he
said to them, ‘Thus it is writ-ten, that the Messiah is to suffer
and to rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance and
forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations,
beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And
see, I am sending upon you what my Father promised; so stay here in
the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.’
Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and, lifting up his
hands, he blessed them. While he was blessing them, he withdrew
from them and was carried up into heaven. And they worshipped him,
and returned to Jerusalem with great joy; and they were continually
in the temple bless-ing God. Luke 24.44-53
