MINISTRY OF THE WORD

1st Lesson: Isaiah 6:1-13 Mr. Arleigh Cobham

READER: A reading from the word of God, written in Isaiah Chapter 6, beginning to read at the 1st verse. In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lofty; and the hem of his robe filled the temple. Seraphs were in attendance above him; each had six wings: with two they covered their faces, and with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. And one called to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory." The pivots on the thresholds shook at the voices of those who called, and the house filled with smoke. And I said: "Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!" Then one of the seraphs flew to me, holding a live coal that had been taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. The seraph touched my mouth with it and said: "Now that this has touched your lips, your guilt has departed and your sin is blotted out." Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I; send me!" And he said, "Go and say to this people: 'Keep listening, but do not comprehend; keep looking, but do not understand.' Make the mind of this people dull, and stop their ears, and shut their eyes, so that they may not look with their eyes, and listen with their ears, and comprehend with their minds, and turn and be healed." Then I said, "How long, O Lord?" And he said: "Until cities lie waste without inhabitant, and houses without people, and the land is utterly desolate; until the LORD sends everyone far away, and vast is the emptiness in the midst of the land. Even if a tenth part remain in it, it will be burned again, like a terebinth or an oak whose stump remains standing when it is felled." The holy seed is its stump. The word of the Lord ALL : Thanks be to God

Psalm 138 Page 653 (BCP)

(congregation remain seated)

1. I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with my whole heart; * before the gods I will sing your praise.

2. I will bow down toward your holy temple and praise your Name, * because of your love and faithfulness;

8

3. For you have glorified your Name * and your word above all things.

4. When I called, you answered me; * you increased my strength within me.

5. All the kings of the earth will praise you, O LORD, * when they have heard the words of your mouth.

6. They will sing of the ways of the LORD, * that great is the glory of the LORD.

7. Though the LORD be high, he cares for the lowly; * he perceives the haughty from afar.

8. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you keep me safe; * you stretch forth your hand against the fury of my enemies; your right hand shall save me.

9. The LORD will make good his purpose for me; * O LORD, your love endures for ever; do not abandon the works of your hands.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son:* and to the Holy Spirit As it was in the beginning is now *and ever shall be, world without end….Amen

2nd Lesson: 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 Mrs. Muriel Robertson

READER: A reading from the word of God, written in 1 Corinthians Chapter 15, beginning to read at the 1

st verse.

Now I would remind you, brothers and sisters, of the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also you stand, through which also you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you--unless you have come to believe in vain. For I handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me has not been in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them--though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. Whether then it was I or they, so we proclaim and so you have come to believe. The word of the Lord

ALL : Thanks be to God

Gradual Hymn: CH 473 1. In heavenly love abiding, no change my heart shall fear. And safe in such confiding, for nothing changes here. The storm may roar without me, my heart may low be laid, But God is round about me, and can I be dismayed? 2. Wherever He may guide me, no want shall turn me back. My Shepherd is beside me, and nothing can I lack. His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim. He knows the way He taketh, and I will walk with Him

PRIEST: The Holy Gospel according to Luke Chapter 5

beginning to read at the 1st verse

ALL : Glory to Christ our Saviour

Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was

pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he saw two boats there at the shore of the

lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. He got into

one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little way

from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. When he had

finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep water and let down your

10

nets for a catch." Simon answered, "Master, we have worked all night long but have

caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets." When they had done this,

they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break. So they signaled

their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both

boats, so that they began to sink. But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus'

knees, saying, "Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!" For he and all who

were with him were amazed at the catch of fish that they had taken; and so also were

James and John, sons of Zebedee, who are partners with Simon. Then Jesus said to

Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people." When they had

brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him.

PRIEST :This is the Gospel of Christ

ALL: Praise to Christ our Lord

Gradual Hymn: CH 473 (Final Verse)

3. Green pastures are before me,

which yet I have not seen.

Bright skies will soon be o’er me,

where the dark clouds have been.

My hope I cannot measure,

my path to life is free.

My Saviour has my treasure,

and He will walk with me. .

THE SERMON:

REFLECTION: CH 471

1. PUT thou thy trust in God,

In duty’s path go on;

Walk in His strength with faith and hope,

So shall thy work be done.

11

2. Commit thy ways to Him,

Thy works into His hands,

And rest on His unchanging word,

Who heaven and earth commands.

3. Though years on years roll on,

His covenant shall endure;

Though clouds and darkness hide His path,

The promised grace is sure.

4. Give to the winds thy fears;

Hope, and be undismayed;

God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears;

God shall lift up thy head.

5. Through waves, and clouds, and storms,

His power will clear thy way:

Wait thou His time, the darkest night

Shall end in brightest day.

6. Leave to His sovereign sway

To choose and to command;

So shalt thou, wondering, own His way,

How wise, how strong His hand.

The Nicene Creed Page 104 (BCP)

We believe in one God,

the Father, the Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all that is seen or unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,

12

the only Son of God,

eternally begotten of the Father,

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God,

begotten, not made,

one in Being with the Father.

Through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation

he came down from heaven:

by the power of the Holy Spirit

he was born of the Virgin Mary,

and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;

he suffered, died and was buried.

On the third day he rose again

in fulfilment of 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.

With the Father and the Son

he is worshipped and glorified.

He 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.

Offertory Hymn: CH 265 1. To the name of our salvation, laud and honour let us pay, which for many a generation hid in God's foreknowledge lay, but with holy exultation we may sing aloud today.

2. Jesus is the name we treasure, name beyond what words can tell; name of gladness, name of pleasure, ear and heart delighting well; name of sweetness passing measure, saving us from sin and hell.

19

3. 'Tis the name for adoration, name for songs of victory, name for holy meditation in this vale of misery, name for joyful veneration by the citizens on high. 4. 'Tis the name that whoso preacheth speaks like music to the ear; who in prayer this name beseecheth sweetest comfort findeth near; who its perfect wisdom reacheth, heavenly joy possesseth here. 5. Jesus is the name exalted over every other name; in this name, whene'er assaulted, we can put our foes to shame; strength to them who else had halted, eyes to blind, and feet to lame.

"Take this and eat it:

"This is my Body which is given for you.

"Do this for the remembrance of me."

After supper he took the cup of wine

and when he had given thanks

He gave it to them and said:

"Which is shed for you and for many

"for the forgiveness of sins.

"Do this, whenever you drink it,

"For the remembrance of me."

Father, calling to mind the death your Son

endured for our salvation;

His Glorious Resurrection and Ascension;

His continual intercession for us in heaven;

and looking for His coming again in glory,

this holy and life-giving sacrifice.

Look with favour on your Church's offering,

and grant that we who eat and drink these holy gifts

may be filled with your Holy Spirit

and become one body in Christ,

and serve you in unity, constancy and peace.

May He make us a perpetual offering to you

and enable us, in communion with

blessed Mary and the whole company of heaven,

to share in the inheritance of your saints.

With Him, and in Him, and through Him,

by the power of the Holy Spirit,

is in such friendship better known,

alive among us here.

Anoint me with Thy heavenly grace, And seal me for Thine own; That I may see Thy glorious Face, And worship near Thy Throne.
