4:00pm Church@4 – Rural Mission Sunday

Welcome and Opening Prayer

Grace, mercy and peace from God our Father

and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

And also with you.

This is the day that the Lord has made.

Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Loving Lord,

fill us with your life-giving,

joy-giving, peace-giving presence,

that we may praise you now with our lips

and all day long with our lives

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hymn

1. Colours of day dawn into the mind,

the sun has come up, the night is behind.

Go down in the city, into the street,

and let's give the message

to the people we meet.

So light up the fire and let the flame burn,

open the door, let Jesus return.

Take seeds of his Spirit, let the fruit grow,

tell the people of Jesus, let his love show.

2. Go through the park, on into the town;

the sun still shines on;, it never goes down.

The light of the world is risen again;

the people of darkness are needing a friend.

3. Open your eyes, look into the sky,

the darkness has come, the sun came to die.

The evening draws on, the sun disappears,

but Jesus is living, his Spirit is near.

Words: Sue McClellan (b 1951), John Paculabo (1946-2013) & Keith Ryecroft (b 1949)

Confession

We come to God to say sorry

Lord we have done wrong

in thought, word and deed,

We are truly sorry and we ask you to forgive us

Help us by your Holy Spirit to live a new life.

Amen.

May Almighty God have mercy upon us,

forgive us our sins

and bring us to everlasting life.

Amen.

Bible Reading – Mark 4.26-34

Jesus said, ‘The kingdom of God is as if someone would scatter seed on the ground, and

would sleep and rise night and day, and the seed would sprout and grow, he does not

know how. The earth produces of itself, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain

in the head. But when the grain is ripe, at once he goes in with his sickle, because the

harvest has come.’

Jesus also said, ‘With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable will we

use for it? It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of

all the seeds on earth; yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all

shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its

shade.’ With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear

it; he did not speak to them except in parables, but he explained everything in private to

his disciples.

Hymn

1. For the fruits of all creation,

thanks be to God;

for the gifts to every nation,

thanks be to God;

for the ploughing, sowing, reaping,

silent growth while we are sleeping,

future needs in earth’s safe keeping,

thanks be to God.

2. In the just reward of labour,

God’s will is done;

in the help we give our neighbour,

God’s will is done;

in our world-wide task of caring

for the hungry and despairing,

in the harvests we are sharing,

God’s will is done.

3. For the harvests of his Spirit,

thanks be to God;

for the good we all inherit,

thanks be to God;

for the wonders that astound us,

for the truths that still confound us,

most of all, that love has found us,

thanks be to God.

Prayers

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name;

thy kingdom come; thy will be done;

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation;

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory,

for ever and ever. Amen.

Hymn

You shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace;

and the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you.

There'll be shouts of joy and all the trees of the field

shall clap, shall clap their hands,

and the trees of the field shall clap their hands,



and you’ll go out with joy.

Words: based on Isaiah 55.12, Stuart Dauermann (b 1944)

Music: Stuart Dauermann (b 1944), arranged by Anthony Frederick Carver (b 1947) & Anne Harrison (b 1954)

November is now available to pick up

from Oakham Church. It gives

suggestions for daily reading and

prayer from 10th July to 12th

November 2016. You can also

download a copy from the website.

Christian Aid Week

Churches Together raised £2,800 this

year – a lower amount than last year,

but using fewer collectors. Brooke and

Langham both collected more than last

year. Christian Aid likes different ways

to raise money, and were glad that we

made almost £1,000 with our Lent

Lunches. The Methodist Church are

holding ‘Open Gardens’ for a charge.

Details for the week are still to be

published. Peter Townsend.

Greenbelt 2016

Families and individuals will be attending

the Sunday morning service at the

Greenbelt Festival on Sunday 28 August,

where Archbishop Justin Welby will be

answering questions put to him by young

people. For more information and to

book tickets visit the Greenbelt website:

www.greenbelt.org.uk/local-church-

offers/. Tickets for the service are free for

us who live in Peterborough diocese and

you can ‘top up’ your ticket to include the

afternoon for £25 whilst under 25s go

free for the whole day. If you intend to

come, please be in touch with Dominic

and we will arrange to meet up on site

and provide lifts for any who need it.

Traidcraft

The Traidcraft stall will be present in

Church after the 10:30 service today

and 31st July. Please do have a look at

what Traidcraft has to offer and even if

you don't need to buy anything consider

making a donation to the very

worthwhile work of Traidcraft

Exchange. If you would like any more

information about the work of

Traidcraft in the field of Fairtrade don't

hesitate to get in touch. Denise 722729.

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

11

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 22 June. Parishioners

have until 20 July to lodge any

objections. More detailed plans are

available for inspection in the parish

office or on the website.

Come and Chat

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.
