Collect
Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of the Church
is governed and sanctified: hear our prayer which we offer for all your faithful people,
that in their vocation and ministry they may serve you in holiness and truth
to the glory of your name; through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
First Reading – 1 Kings 19.15-16,19-21*
The LORD said to Elijah, ‘Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus; when you arrive, you shall anoint Hazael as king over Aram. Also you shall anoint
Jehu son of Nimshi as king over Israel; and you shall anoint Elisha son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah as prophet in your place.’ So he set out from there, and found Elisha
son of Shaphat, who was ploughing There were twelve yoke of oxen ahead of him, and he was with the twelfth. Elijah passed by him and threw his mantle over him. He left the oxen, ran after Elijah, and said, ‘Let me kiss my father and my mother, and
then I will follow you.’ Then Elijah said to him, ‘Go back again; for what have I done to you?’ He returned from following him, took the yoke of oxen, and slaughtered
them; using the equipment from the oxen, he boiled their flesh, and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out and followed Elijah, and became his servant.
Second Reading – Galatians 5.1,13-25
For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to
a yoke of slavery. For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become
slaves to one another. For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ If, however, you bite and devour one
another, take care that you are not consumed by one another. Live by the Spirit, I say, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh. For what the flesh desires is opposed
to the Spirit, and what the Spirit desires is opposed to the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you want. But if you are led
by the Spirit, you are not subject to the law. Now the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger,
quarrels, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you before: those who do such things will not inherit
4
the kingdom of God. By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its
passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.
Gospel – Luke 9.51-62
When the days drew near for him be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. And he sent messengers ahead of him. On their way they entered a village of the
Samaritans to make ready for him; but they did not receive him, because his face was set towards Jerusalem. When his disciples James and John saw it, they said, ‘Lord, do
you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?’ But he turned and rebuked them. Then they went on to another village. As they were
going along the road, someone said to him, ‘I will follow you wherever you go.’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.’ To another Jesus said, ‘Follow me.’ But he said,
‘Lord, first let me go and bury my father.’ But Jesus said to him, ‘Let the dead bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.’ Another said,
‘I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home.’ Jesus said to him, ‘No one who puts a hand to the plough and looks back is fit for the kingdom
of God.’
Post Communion Prayer
Grant, O Lord, we beseech you, that the course of this world may be so peaceably ordered
by your governance, that your Church may joyfully serve you in all godly quietness;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Faculty Applications
Oakham PCC have applied for
permissions for two projects to be undertaken in the autumn.
A. A development of the memorial garden on the south side of the
church: Following a generous offer from Oakham in Bloom, it is
proposed to replant the south side garden as a memorial space. We are grateful for all who, up to now, have
kept this area looking so beautiful, particularly, particularly Graham
Scothern for his recent work, and we are sure that this new scheme will
only enhance this area of the churchyard.
B. Proposal for the replacement of the boiler: A new boiler is proposed
to be installed in the upstairs parish office.
Public notification was displayed on Wednesday. Parishioners have 28
days from then to lodge any objections. More detailed plans are
available for inspection in the parish office or on the website.

Bereavement Support
Group
For the last 3 years we have been
running a Bereavement Support group in the Parish Hall. It has been for
people of all faiths or none, for those recently bereaved or those who are still aching after many years.
However, particularly since Hildred left, it has become clear that we are
not meeting people’s needs, so the meetings on the first Thursday of the
month in the Parish Hall will now stop. We are planning to re-launch
the service in the autumn, in a different format. To help provide
something useful, we have drawn up a short questionnaire to ask those who
are bereaved what would help. If you have lost a loved one – recently
or further back, please fill in one of the Questionnaires which will be at
the back of Oakham Church, or from the website. Sian Cheverton.
