God’s Grace

‘God is here! As we his people’

Church HymnalNo. 330

CCL:


1 God is here! As we his people— meet to offer praise and prayer,may we find in fuller measure what it is in Christ we share.

Here, as in the world around us,all our varied skills and artswait the coming of his Spiritinto open minds and hearts.

5


2 Here are symbols to remind us— of our lifelong need of grace;here are table, font and pulpit,

here the cross has central place;here in honesty of preaching,here in silence as in speech,here in newness and renewalGod the Spirit comes to each.

6


3 Here our children find a welcomein the Shepherd's flock and fold,

here, as bread and wine are taken,Christ sustains us, as of old.

Here the servants of the Servantseek in worship to explore— what it means in daily living

to believe and to adore.

7


4 Lord of all, of Church and Kingdom,

in an age of change and doubtkeep us faithful to the gospel,

help us work your purpose out.Here, in this day's dedication,all we have to give, receive:

we, who cannot live without you,we adore you, we believe.

F. Pratt Green (b. 1903)

life.

The GospelMatthew 20:1-16


Hear the Gospel of our Saviour Christ, according to St Matthew’s Gospel chapter 20 beginning at verse 1.

Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

1 ‘For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard. 3 ‘About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the market-place doing nothing.

23


4 He told them, “You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.” 5 So they went. ‘He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing. 6 About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, “Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?”

24


7 ‘“Because no one has hired us,” they answered.

‘He said to them, “You also go and work in my vineyard.”8 ‘When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, “Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.”

25


9 ‘The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius. 10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. 11 When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner.

26


12 “These who were hired last worked only one hour,” they said, “and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.”13 ‘But he answered one of them, “I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius?

27


14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?”

28


16 ‘So the last will be first, and the first will be last.’

This is the Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

place pour down the riches of thy grace.

Jesu, my Lord, I thee adore,O make me love thee more and

fame,the glorious beauty of thy Name?

brought,so far exceeding hope or thought.

all that I am or have is thine,and thou, blessed Saviour, thou

art mine.

Father, Lord of all creation,we praise you for your goodness and your love.When we turned away you did not reject us.You came to meet us in your Son,welcomed us as your childrenand prepared a table where we might feast with you.

64


In Christ you shared our lifethat we might live in him and he in us.

He opened wide his arms upon the cross and,with love stronger than death,he made the perfect sacrifice for sin.

65


Lord Jesus Christ, our redeemer,on the night before you diedyou came to table with your friends.

66


Taking bread, you gave thanks, broke it and gave it to them saying,Take, eat: this is my body which is given for you;do this in remembrance of me.

Lord Jesus, we bless you:you are the bread of life.

67


At the end of supper you took the cup of wine, gave thanks, and said,Drink this, all of you; this is my blood of the new covenant,which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins;do this in remembrance of me.Lord Jesus, we bless you:you are the true vine.

68


Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ:dying, you destroyed our death,rising, you restored our life;Lord Jesus, come in glory.

69


Holy Spirit, giver of life,come upon us now;may this bread and wine be to us a remembrance of the body and blood of our Saviour Jesus Christ.As we eat and drink these holy gifts make us, who know our need of grace,one in Christ, our risen Lord.

Going Out as God’s People


Father of all, we give you thanks and praise,

that when we were still far offyou met us in your Son and brought

us home.Dying and living, he declared your

love,gave us grace, and opened the gate

of glory.


May we who share Christ's body live his risen life;

we who drink his cup bring life to others;

we whom the Spirit lights give light to the world.


Keep us firm in the hope you have set before us,

so we and all your children shall be free,

and the whole earth live to praise your name;

through Christ our Lord. Amen.


Almighty God, we thank you for feeding us with the spiritual food of the body and blood of your Son Jesus Christ. Through him we offer you our souls and bodies to be a living sacrifice. Send us out in the power of your Spirit to live and work to your praise and glory. Amen.
