This morning’s service follows the Eucharistic Liturgy ‘Thanksgiving of the People of God’ commencing on page 404 in the red New Zealand Anglican Prayer Book;

the hymns are from Common Praise, the blue hymn book in the pews; and the musical setting is Curtis [TPOG 404]

Presider: Rev’d David van Oeveren

Priest Assistant: Rev’d Margaret Thompson

OPENING HYMN: 496 - Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us

The Gathering of the Community: page 404

The Gloria: page 405

Confession / Forgiveness: page 406-8

Sentence: Will not God grant justice to those who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long in helping them? Luke 18: 7-8

Collect: Mighty God, strong, loving and wise, help us to depend upon your goodness and to place our trust in your Son; who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever. Amen

Reading: Genesis 32: 22-31 Dawn Harvey

22The same night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two maids, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23He took them and sent them across the stream, and likewise everything that he had. 24Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until daybreak.

25When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob,

4

he struck him on the hip socket; and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. 26Then he said, “Let me go, for the day is breaking.” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go, unless you bless me.” 27So he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” 28Then the man said, “You shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with humans, and have pre-vailed.” 29Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him. 30So Jacob called the place Peniel, say-ing, “For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life is pre-served.” 31The sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, limp-ing because of his hip.

Psalm 121 page 350

Reading: 2 Timothy 3: 14 - 4: 5 Pam Medcalf

14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it, 15and how from childhood you have known the sacred writings that are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17so that everyone who belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work. 1In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I solemnly urge you: 2proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favourable or unfavourable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching. 3For the time is coming when people will not put up with sound doctrine, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires, 4and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander away to myths. 5As for you, always be sober, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, carry out your minis-try fully.

1 What does our God require of us but to do justly, love mercy and humbly walk with God. 2 What does the earth require of us but to share oneness, give nurture and reverence all of life.

3 What do the people seek with us but to gain justice, share caring and be at one with Earth. 4 Come let us sing the song of God as we seek justice, find stillness, and treasure Earth with God.

Gradual Hymn: What does our God require of us?

HIOS146 - Bill Wallace [based on Micah 6:8] Tune: Micah

Gospel Reading: Luke 18: 1-8 Rev’d Margaret Thompson

1Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray al-ways and not to lose heart. 2He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor had respect for peo-ple. 3In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Grant me justice against my opponent.’ 4For a while he refused; but later he said to himself, ‘Though I have no fear of God and no respect for anyone, 5yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice, so that she may not wear me out by continually coming.’ ” 6And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7And will not God grant justice to his chosen ones who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long in helping them? 8I tell you, he will quickly grant justice to them. And yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

The Sermon Rev’d David van Oeveren
