READINGS for —SUNDAY 21st October 2018 The Lesson –Deuteronomy 26: 1-11
The Old Testament Reading is from the book of Deuteronomy ,Chapter 26, beginning to read at verse 1. When you have entered the land that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance and have taken possession of it and settled in it, 2 take some of the first fruits of all that you produce from the soil of the land that the Lord your God is giving you and put them in a basket. Then go to the place that the Lord your God will choose as a dwelling for
his Name 3 and say to the priest in office at the
time, ‘I declare today to the Lord your God that I have come to the land the Lord swore to our ancestors to give us.’ 4 The priest shall take the basket from your hands and set it down in front of the altar of the Lord your God. 5 Then you shall declare before the Lord your God: ‘My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down into Egypt with a few people and lived there and became a great nation, powerful and numerous. 6 But the Egyptians
ill-treated us and made us suffer, subjecting us to harsh labour. 7 Then we cried out to the Lord, the God of our ancestors, and the Lord heard our voice and saw our misery, toil and oppression. 8 So the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty
hand and an outstretched arm, with great terror and with signs and wonders. 9 He brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey; 10 and now I bring the first fruits of the soil that you, Lord, have given me.’ Place the basket before the Lord your God and bow down before him. 11 Then you and the Levites and the foreigners residing among you shall rejoice in all the good things the Lord your God has given to you and your household. This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God .
The Epistle—2 Corinthians 9: 6-15
The New Testament Reading is from the second letter of St Paul to the Corinthians, Chapter 9, beginning to read at verse 16.
Remember this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written: ‘They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures for ever.’
3
10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. 12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. 13 Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. 14 And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. 15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God .
The Gospel –Luke 17: 11-19
(sung acclaimations)
Hear the Gospel of our Saviour Christ, according to Saint Luke, Chapter 17, beginning to read at verse 11. Glory to you , Lord Jesus Christ
11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus travelled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance 13 and called out in a loud voice, ‘Jesus, Master, have pity on us!’ 14 When he saw them, he said, ‘Go, show yourselves to the priests.’ And as they went, they were cleansed. 15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him – and he was a Samaritan. 17 Jesus asked, ‘Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?18 Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?’19 Then he said to him, ‘Rise and go; your faith has made you well.’
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.

Irish Church leaders support
Scamwise NI Campaign.
Having met with the PSNI earlier this year to hear about the impact of scams on people across the whole community, the leaders of the main Churches here have en-dorsed the Scamwise NI Partnership’s campaign and key message:
‘If you can spot a scam, you can stop a scam’.
Scams target people of all ages, backgrounds and income levels and the PSNI’s
Economic Crime Unit (ECU) has seen the devastating effects that this type of crime can have on people and their families. The Scamwise Partnership advises that one of the best way to fight scammers is to take steps to prevent being caught out in the first place using a simple four–step scam test: you’re
being scammed if something Seems too good to be true; you’re Contacted out of the blue; you’re Asked for personal details and Money is requested.
On behalf of the Church leaders, the Revd Brian Anderson, President of the Irish Council of Churches, said, ‘We are encouraging clergy and church members alike to be alert to the problem of scamming and to spread the Scamwise message to friends and family members, especially those who might seem most vulnerable in society. Scamwise leaflets and helpful information will be made available across church
networks during the coming weeks.’ Temporary Chief Superintendent Walls said: ‘The Scamwise NI Partnership exists to
raise the awareness of members of our community to the very real risk of scams but also to educate them to some very simple steps they can take to become scam–wise. I am delighted and encouraged that the Partnership has the
endorsement and support of the leaders of the main Churches who have undertaken to share the Scamwise message across their many congregations. I look forward to
the development of this collaboration over the coming years and the active participation by the Churches in keeping people safe.’
