The Collect
Almighty God,
whose Son Jesus Christ fasted forty days in the wilderness,
and was tempted as we are, yet without sin:
give us grace to discipline ourselves in obedience to your Spirit;
and, as you know our weakness,
so may we know your power to save;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
First Reading – Deuteronomy 26.1-11
Moses spoke to the people, saying: When you have come into the land that the
LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance to possess, and you possess it, and
settle in it, you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you
harvest from the land that the LORD your God is giving you, and you shall put it in a
basket and go to the place that the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for his
name. You shall go to the priest who is in office at that time, and say to him, ‘Today I
declare to the LORD your God that I have come into the land that the LORD swore
to our ancestors to give us.’ When the priest takes the basket from your hand and
sets it down before the altar of the LORD your God, you shall make this response
before the LORD your God: ‘A wandering Aramean was my ancestor; he went down
into Egypt and lived there as an alien, few in number, and there he became a great
nation, mighty and populous. When the Egyptians treated us harshly and afflicted us,
by imposing hard labour on us, we cried to the LORD, the God of our ancestors; the
LORD heard our voice and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression. The
LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with a
terrifying display of power, and with signs and wonders; and he brought us into this
place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. So now I bring the
first of the fruit of the ground that you, O LORD, have given me.’ You shall set it
down before the LORD your God and bow down before the LORD your God. Then
you, together with the Levites and the aliens who reside among you, shall celebrate
with all the bounty that the LORD your God has given to you and to your house.

Second Reading – Romans 10.8b-13*
What does scripture say? ‘The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart’ (that is,
the word of faith that we proclaim); because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is
Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For
one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so
is saved. The scripture says, ‘No one who believes in him will be put to shame.’ For there
is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to
all who call on him. For, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’
Gospel Reading – Luke 4.1-13
Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the
wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing at all
during those days, and when they were over, he was famished. The devil said to him, ‘If
you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a loaf of bread.’ Jesus
answered him, ‘It is written, “One does not live by bread alone.”’ Then the devil led
him up and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And the devil said
to him, ‘To you I will give their glory and all this authority; for it has been given over to
me, and I give it to anyone I please. If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.’
Jesus answered him, ‘It is written, “Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.”’
Then the devil took him to Jerusalem, and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple,
saying to him, ‘If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, for it is
written, “He will command his angels concerning you, to protect you”, and “On their
hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.”’ Jesus
answered him, ‘It is said, “Do not put the Lord your God to the test.”’ When the devil
had finished every test, he departed from him until an opportune time.
Post Communion Prayer
Lord God, you have renewed us with the living bread from heaven;
by it you nourish our faith,
increase our hope, and strengthen our love:
teach us always to hunger for him who is the true and living bread,
and enable us to live by every word that proceeds from out of your mouth;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Welcome to our new
Curate
We welcome the Revd Owen Williams,
who has joined the Oakham Team this
week as Assistant Curate. Owen was
ordained deacon in 2013 and priest in
2014, previously serving as Assistant

Hall in Cambridge, and prior to that
worked in computing down in Brighton.
Help Needed
As you know, we take part in Christian
Aid Week each year. This year, our
treasurer has had to withdraw after some
years’ service, so we need a treasurer for
the period 15 to 24 May. This doesn’t
involve complicated accounts, but the
ability to count the coins donated, and pay
them into the bank. If you can help with
this importannt task, please ring Peter
Townsend on 759286, or leave a
message.

At the meeting on 25 January,
Oakham PCC received a presentation
from Oakham in Bloom with a
proposal to redevelop the Garden of
Remembrance on the south side of
the church, and permission will be
sought to proceed with this. Plans for
the new boiler are progressing, and it
is hoped a faculty application will be
ready for the next meeting. A faculty
will be sought for upgrading and
automating the church clock winding
and striking mechanisms. Full minutes
are available on the noticeboard by
the north door.

the following items – your help in
providing some of them would be
