Dear People of God
It is through Baptism and the anointing in confirmation that we
are initiated into the Body of Christ, the church. We seek through
the Holy Spirit to be a community of faith to witness to the reconciling
work of Christ to proclaim and demonstrate God forgiveness and
NEW Life of grace. Our task is to build on what we have received
by using the gifts of our abilities, skills, monetary treasure
and to provide the resources for the work of Christ through the
church. The Development Fund is a resource for our church to utilize
the enormous potential within our church. This means that the
human, intellectual and financial resources are the focus of concern
for the development of the church and its members and the growth
of our congregation. The current project launched on Trinity Sunday
will:
-
Introduce a system of personal pledging in keeping
with the individual's appreciation of God as Creator and
Provider.
-
Identify current membership in order to ascertain
the number and composition of the human resource base
of this Church.
-
Encourage the membership to participate more freely
in the activities of the church and to do this based on
an understanding of the principles of discipleship and
Christian stewardship.
-
Identify and record the composition [age, skills,
etc.] of the membership to allow for greater participation
in the ministry of the church.
-
Improve the interaction among members, facilitating
better communication and promoting greater caring and
nurturing among members.
-
Place the Church Committee in a better position
to establish a method whereby management of the capital
and recurrent budgets will be based on a credible foundation
and permit a reduction in the current short fall
in our budget.
A warm welcome to all our visitors worshipping with us today,
especially to all our fathers on this special day.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Sirrano Kitson

"Growing through Faith, Commitment and Action"
Almighty God, by your grace you have given us new life in
Jesus Christ and by your Spirit you have called us to
proclaim Him as Saviour by word and action. Teach
us to walk in your way more trustfully, to accept
your truth more faithfully and to share your life
more lovingly. By the power of the Holy Spirit guide
us in our work for the church, so that we may come
as one family to the Kingdom of the Father, where
you live and reign forever. Amen.

Prayers Of Intercession
Third Sunday after Pentecost
| Leader: |
Father, we give thanks for all
who have enriched the church by their faith. We pray for
those called to be pastors and shepherds of your flock,
especially any who are being called to offer themselves
for ordination at this time. We remember those who teach
Sunday schools and day schools, those who preach the word
and administer the sacraments. We pray for religious communities
and missionary societies, for soul friends, confessors
and spiritual counsellors.
Lord, have mercy.
|
| All: |
Forgive us and heal us. |
| Leader: |
We ask that we may all know your
forgiveness. We pray for all who are in prison, all who
are locked up by guilt and remorse. We remember all who
stand for justice and freedom, all who show forgiveness
and help people to live in harmony. We pray for communities
divided by past violence and present conflicts.
Lord, have mercy
|
| All: |
Forgive us and heal us. |
| Leader: |
We give thanks for all who have
been forgiving towards us, all who have taught us about
forgiveness and love. We pray for loved ones and friends.
We pray for relationships that are marred by past sins
and errors, for all who are unable to forgive and start
afresh.
Lord, have mercy.
|
| All: |
Forgive us and heal us. |
| Leader: |
We pray for all who are being
destroyed by guilt, all who are unable to accept forgiveness
and be changed. We ask your blessing upon all who are
troubled by memories of the past. We pray especially for
all who feel betrayed or deserted by others. We remember
before you friends and loved ones who are ill…
Lord, have mercy
|
| All: |
Forgive us and heal us. |
| Leader: |
We give thanks for the forgiveness
of sins and the resurrection of the body. We pray for
all our friends who are departed this life, that they
may be numbered with your saints in glory everlasting.
Lord, have mercy
|
| All: |
Forgive us and heal us.
(Silence may be kept)
|
| All: |
Lord God of love, as you come
to us and give yourself for us and to us, make us aware
of your coming and you generosity, that we may rejoice
in your presence and give our love to you; through Jesus
Christ our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you and
the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. |

The Gospel Reading: Luke 7:36-50
One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to eat with him, and he went into
the Pharisee' s house and took his place at the table. And a woman
in the city, who was a sinner, having learned that he was eating
in the Pharisee' s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
She stood behind him at his feet, weeping, and began to bathe
his feet with her tears and to dry them with her hair. Then she
continued kissing his feet and anointing them with the ointment.
Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself,
'If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what
kind of woman this is who is touching him — that she is a
sinner.' Jesus spoke up and said to him, 'Simon, I have something
to say to you.''Teacher,' he replied, 'speak.''A certain creditor
had two debtors; one owed five hundred denarii, and the other
fifty. When they could not pay, he cancelled the debts for both
of them. Now which of them will love him more?' Simon answered,
'I suppose the one for whom he cancelled the greater debt.' And
Jesus said to him, 'You have judged rightly.' Then turning towards
the woman, he said to Simon, 'Do you see this woman? I entered
your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has bathed
my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair. You gave
me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not stopped kissing
my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed
my feet with ointment. Therefore, I tell you, her sins, which
were many, have been forgiven; hence she has shown great love.
But the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.' Then he
said to her, 'Your sins are forgiven.' But those who were at the
table with him began to say among themselves, 'Who is this who
even forgives sins?' And he said to the woman, 'Your faith has
saved you; go in peace.'

Hymn: Lord Teach Us To Pray
Lord, teach us to pray;
let us know Your will every day.
Give us the grace to go on seeking Your face,
in obedience to all that You say,
in obedience to all that You say.
Lord, help us to see
with the eyes of faith, and believe.
Give us Your heart to care
for the world in our prayer,
and a vision of what it should be,
and a vision of what it should be.

Hymn: Faith Of Our Fathers
-
Faith of our fathers!
living still Inspite of dungeon, fire and sword:
O how our hearts beat high with joy
When-e'er we hear that glorious word!
Refrain:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!
-
Our fathers, chained in prisons dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free:
How sweet would be their children's fate,
If they, like them, could die for thee!
Refrain
-
Faith of our fathers! we will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife:
And preach thee, too, as love knows how,
By kindly words and virtuous life:

Hymn: Father, In Whom We Live
-
Father, in whom we live,
In whom we are, and move,
The glory, power, and praise receive
Of Thy creating love.
Let all the angel throng
Give thanks to God on high;
While earth repeats the joyful song,
And echoes to the sky.
-
Let all the ransomed race
Render in thanks their lives to Thee,
For Thy redeeming grace.
The grace to sinners showed
Ye heavenly choirs proclaim,
And cry: Salvation to our God,
Salvation to the Lamb!
-
Spirit of Holiness,
Let all Thy saints adore
Thy sacred energy, and bless
Thine heart-renewing power.
Not angel tongues can tell
Thy love's ecstatic height,
The glorious joy unspeakable,
The beatific sight.
-
Eternal, Triune Lord!
Let all the hosts above,
Let all the sons of men, record
And dwell upon Thy love.
When heaven and earth are fled
Before Thy glorious face,
Sing all the saints Thy love hath made
Thine everlasting praise. Amen.
