Hymn: AHB 109

1. Tell out, my soul, the greatness of

the Lord!

Unnumbered blessings, give my

spirit voice;

tender to me the promise of his

word;

in God my Saviour shall my heart

rejoice.

2. Tell out, my soul, the greatness of

his name!

Make known his might, the deeds

his arm has done;

his mercy sure, from age to age the

same;

his holy name - the Lord, the Mighty

One.

3. Tell out, my soul, the greatness of

his might!

Powers and dominions lay their

glory by.

Proud hearts and stubborn wills are

put to flight,

the hungry fed, the humble lifted

high.

4. Tell out, my soul, the glories of his

word!

Firm is his promise, and his mercy

sure.

Tell out, my soul, the greatness of

the Lord

to children’s children and for

evermore!

Timothy Dudley-Smith 1926–

based on Luke 1:46–55 in The New English Bible

Greeting: The Lord be with you.

AND ALSO WITH YOU. (see Ruth 2:4)

Sentence: Who shall stand in the Lord’s holy place? Those who have clean

hands and pure hearts, who do not lift up their hands to what is false.

Psalm 24.3–4

Prayer of Preparation:

As we gather as God's people let us pray together:

Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open,

all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hidden:

cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration

of your Holy Spirit,

that we may perfectly love you,

and worthily magnify your holy name,

through Christ our Lord. Amen.

4

The Summary of the Commandments:

‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord

your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your

mind, and with all your strength.’ Jesus said: ‘This is the great and first

commandment. And a second is like it: you shall love your neighbour as

yourself.’

Kyrie eleison (Kew Setting)

The Confession

Let us confess our sins in penitence and faith, confident in God's

forgiveness.

Merciful God, our maker and our judge,

we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed,

and in what we have failed to do:

we have not loved you with our whole heart;

we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves;

we repent, and are sorry for all our sins.

Father, forgive us. Strengthen us to love and obey you

in newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

5

The Absolution (Celebrant)

Almighty God, who has promised forgiveness to all who turn to

him in faith: pardon you and set you free from all your sins,

strengthen you in all goodness and keep you in eternal life,

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

6

Prayer of the Day

Eternal God,

open our eyes to see your hand at work

in the splendour of creation

and in the beauty of human life.

Help us to cherish the gifts that surround us,

to share our blessings with our sisters and brothers,

and to experience the joy of life in your presence;

through Jesus Christ our Lord,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD

Readings from 'New Revised Standard Version' (NRSV)

First Reading: 2 Samuel 6.1-5, 12-19

1 David again gathered all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand. 2

David and all the people with him set out and went from Baale-judah, to

bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of the

Lord of hosts who is enthroned on the cherubim. 3 They carried the ark

of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which

was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were driving the

new cart 4 with the ark of God; and Ahio went in front of the ark. 5

David and all the house of Israel were dancing before the Lord with all

their might, with songs and lyres and harps and tambourines and

castanets and cymbals. 12 It was told King David, ‘The Lord has blessed

the household of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, because of the

ark of God.’ So David went and brought up the ark of God from the

house of Obed-edom to the city of David with rejoicing; 13 and when

those who bore the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed an

ox and a fatling. 14 David danced before the Lord with all his might;

David was girded with a linen ephod. 15 So David and all the house of

Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound

of the trumpet. 16 As the ark of the Lord came into the city of David,

7

Michal daughter of Saul looked out of the window, and saw King David

leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.

17 They brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place, inside the

tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt-offerings and

offerings of well-being before the Lord . 18 When David had finished

offering the burnt-offerings and the offerings of well-being, he blessed

the people in the name of the Lord of hosts, 19 and distributed food

among all the people, the whole multitude of Israel, both men and

women, to each a cake of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.

Then all the people went back to their homes.

Response: Hear the word of the Lord,

THANKS BE TO GOD

Psalm: 24

1 The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it:

the compass of the world and those who dwell therein.

2 For he has founded it upon the seas:

and established it upon the waters.

3 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord:

or who shall stand in his holy place?

4 Those who have clean hands and a pure heart:

who have not set their soul upon idols, nor sworn their oath to a lie.

5 They shall receive blessing from the Lord:

and recompense from the God of their salvation.

6 Of such a kind as this are those who seek him:

those who seek your face, O God of Jacob.

7 Lift up your heads, O you gates, and be lifted up, you everlasting doors:

and the King of glory shall come in.

8 Who is the King of glory?:

the Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, O you gates, and be lifted up, you everlasting doors:

and the King of glory shall come in.

10 Who is the King of glory?:

the Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory.

Second Reading: Ephesians 1.1-14

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are in

Ephesus and are faithful in Christ Jesus: 2 Grace to you and peace from God

our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our

Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in

the heavenly places, 4 just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of

the world to be holy and blameless before him in love. 5 He destined us for

adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure

of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace that he freely bestowed on us

in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the

forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace 8 that he

lavished on us. With all wisdom and insight 9 he has made known to us the

mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ,

10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to gather up all things in him, things in

heaven and things on earth. 11 In Christ we have also obtained an

inheritance, having been destined according to the purpose of him who

accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will, 12 so that we, who

were the first to set our hope on Christ, might live for the praise of his glory.

13 In him you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your

salvation, and had believed in him, were marked with the seal of the

promised Holy Spirit; 14 this is the pledge of our inheritance towards

redemption as God’s own people, to the praise of his glory.

Response: Hear the word of the Lord,

THANKS BE TO GOD

Gradual Hymn:

1. Have faith in God, my heart,

trust and be unafraid;

God will fulfil in every part

each promise he has made.

2. Have faith in God, my mind,

though oft your light burns low;

God’s mercy holds a wiser plan

than you can fully know.

3. Have faith in God, my soul,

his cross for ever stands;

and neither life nor death can pluck

his children from his hands.

4. Lord Jesus, make me whole;

grant me no resting place

until I rest, heart, mind and soul,

the captive of your grace.

We stand for the reading of the Holy Gospel as a sign of respect as we greet

our Lord who is present in His Holy Word.

The Lord be with you

AND ALSO WITH YOU

The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Saint Mark chapter 6

beginning at the 14th

verse.

GLORY TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.

14 King Herod heard of it, for Jesus’ name had become known. Some were

saying, ‘John the baptizer has been raised from the dead; and for this reason

these powers are at work in him.’ 15 But others said, ‘It is Elijah.’ And others

said, ‘It is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.’ 16 But when Herod

heard of it, he said, ‘John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.’ 17 For Herod

himself had sent men who arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison

on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because Herod had married

her. 18 For John had been telling Herod, ‘It is not lawful for you to have your

brother’s wife.’ 19 And Herodias had a grudge against him, and wanted to kill

him. But she could not, 20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a

righteous and holy man, and he protected him. When he heard him, he was

greatly perplexed; and yet he liked to listen to him. 21 But an opportunity

came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his courtiers and

officers and for the leaders of Galilee. 22 When his daughter Herodias came

in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl,

‘Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it.’ 23 And he solemnly swore

to her, ‘Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom.’ 24

She went out and said to her mother, ‘What should I ask for?’ She replied,

‘The head of John the baptizer.’ 25 Immediately she rushed back to the king

and requested, ‘I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on

a platter.’ 26 The king was deeply grieved; yet out of regard for his oaths and

for the guests, he did not want to refuse her. 27 Immediately the king sent a

soldier of the guard with orders to bring John’s head. He went and beheaded

him in the prison, 28 brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl.

Then the girl gave it to her mother. 29 When his disciples heard about it,

they came and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.

Gospel Response: This is the gospel of the Lord,

PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Congregation

SERMON - (copy of sermon available at back of church)

The Nicene Creed - Let us together affirm the faith of the Church.

We believe in one God,

the Father, the almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,

the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father,

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God, begotten, not made,

of one Being with the Father;

through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven,

was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary

and became truly human.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;

he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again

in accordance with the Scriptures;

he ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge

the living and the dead,

and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son

is worshipped and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come. Amen.

heaven;

to his feet your tribute bring;

ransomed, healed, restored,

forgiven,

who like me his praise should sing?

Praise him, praise him, hallelujah,

praise the everlasting king!

2. Praise him for his grace and

favour

to his people in distress;

praise him still the same for ever,

slow to chide, and swift to bless:

praise him, praise him, hallelujah,

glorious in his faithfulness!

3. Father-like he tends and spares

us;

well our feeble frame he knows;

in his hands he gently bears us,

rescues us from all our foes:

praise him, praise him, hallelujah,

widely as his mercy flows!

4. Frail as summer’s flower we

flourish,

blows the wind and it is gone;

but while mortals rise and perish

God endures unchanging on.

Praise him, praise him, hallelujah,

praise the high eternal one!

5. Angels, help us to adore him,

you behold him face to face;

sun and moon, bow down before

him,

dwellers all in time and space:

praise him, praise him, hallelujah,

praise with us the God of grace!
