PRESIDENT: The Lord be with you
ALL: And also with you.

ALL: In the name of Christ, our Lord.
HYMN: 740 - Pleasant are thy courts above
1 Pleasant are thy courts above, in the land of light and love; pleasant are thy courts below in this land of sin and woe; Oh, my spirit longs and faints for the converse of thy saints, for the brightness of thy face, for thy fullness, God of grace.
2 Happy birds that sing and fly round thy altars, O most High; happier souls that find a rest in a heavenly Father's breast; like the wandering dove that found no repose on earth around, they can to their ark repair, and enjoy it ever there.
3
Happy souls, their praises flow even in this vale of woe; waters in the desert rise, manna feeds them from the skies; on they go from strength to strength, till they reach thy throne at length, at thy feet adoring fall, who hast led them safe through all.
4 Lord, be mine this prize to win, guide me through a world of sin, keep me by thy saving grace, give me at thy side a place; sun and shield alike thou art, guide and guard my erring heart. grace and glory flow from thee; shower, O shower them, Lord, on me
HYMN: 359 - Ye that know the Lord is gracious
1 Ye that know the Lord is gracious, ye for whom a corner stone stands, of God elect and precious, laid that ye may build thereon, see that on that sure foundation ye a living temple raise, towers that may tell forth salvation, walls that may re-echo praise.
2 Living stones, by God appointed each to his allotted place, kings and priests, by God anointed, shall ye not declare his grace? Ye, a royal generation, tell the tidings of your birth, tidings of a new creation to an old and weary earth.
3
Tell the praise of him who called you out of darkness into light, broke the fetters that enthralled you, gave you freedom, peace and sight: tell the tale of sins forgiven, strength renewed and hope restored, till the earth, in tune with heaven, praise and magnify the Lord!
INTROIT HYMN: 361 - All people that on earth do dwell
1 All people that on earth do dwell, sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; him serve with fear, his praise forth tell, come ye before him, and rejoice.
2 The Lord, ye know, is God indeed; without our aid he did us make; we are his flock, he doth us feed and for his sheep he doth us take.
3 O enter then his gates with praise, approach with joy his courts unto; praise, laud, and bless his name always, for it is seemly so to do.
4 For why? The Lord our God is good; his mercy is for ever sure; his truth at all times firmly stood, and shall from age to age endure.
5 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the God whom heaven and earth adore, from men and from the angel-host be praise and glory evermore.

FIRST LESSON: Jeremiah 29:1,4-7
READER: A Reading from the Word of God, written in the book of Jeremiah, chapter twenty-nine beginning at the first verse.
READER: These are the words of the letter that the prophet Jeremiah sent from Jerusalem to the remaining elders among the exiles, and to the priests, the prophets, and all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat what they produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.
READER: The word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
PSALM: 66:1-11
1. O be joyful in God, all ye lands : sing praises unto the honour of his Name, make his praise to be glorious.
2. Say unto God, O how wonderful art thou in thy works : through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies be found liars unto thee.
3. For all the world shall worship thee : sing of thee, and praise thy Name.
4. O come hither, and behold the works of God : how wonderful he is in his doing toward the children of men.
5. He turned the sea into dry land : so that they went through the water on foot; there did we rejoice thereof.
6. He ruleth with his power for ever; his eyes behold the people : and such as will not believe shall not be able to exalt themselves.
7. O praise our God, ye people : and make the voice of his praise to be heard;
8. Who holdeth our soul in life : and suffereth not our feet to slip.
9. For thou, O God, hast proved us : thou also hast tried us, like as silver is tried.
10.Thou broughtest us into the snare : and laidest trouble upon our loins.
11.Thou sufferedst men to ride over our heads : we went through fire and water, and thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
SECOND
LESSON: 2 Timothy 2:8-15
READER: A reading from the word of God written in the second letter to Timothy, chapter two beginning at the eighth verse.
Reader: Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David that is my gospel, for which I suffer hardship, even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God is not chained. Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, so that they may also obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. The saying is sure: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he will also deny us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful for he cannot deny himself. Remind them of this, and warn them before God that they are to avoid wrangling over words, which does no good but only ruins those who are listening. Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved by him, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly explaining the word of truth.
READER: The word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
GRADUAL HYMN: 495 - Amazing grace how sweet the sound (verses 1-3)
1 Amazing grace - how sweet the soundthat saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; was blind, but now I see.
2 ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved; how precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed.
3 Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; 'tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.
The Gospel: Luke 17:11-19
PRESIDENT: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke, the seventeenth chapter, beginning at the eleventh verse.
ALL: Glory to Christ our Saviour
PRESIDENT: On the way to Jerusalem Jesus was going through the region between Samaria and Galilee. As he entered a village, ten lepers approached him. Keeping their distance, they called out, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were made clean. Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. He prostrated himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus asked, "Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they? Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" Then he said to him, "Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well."
PRESIDENT: The Gospel of Christ
ALL: Praise to Christ our Lord
HYMN: 495 (verse 4)
4 When we've been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, we've no less days to sing God's praise than when we've first begun.
THE SERMON
PRAYING THE BAPTISMAL COVENANT
by Reginald Hollis ©1993 (Anglican Fellowship of Prayer)
LEADER: Do you believe in God the Father, in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and in God the Holy Spirit?
Our God, It is one thing to say the creed but another to put my trust in you. Help me to live with the assurance that you are my Father and that nothing can separate me from your love, trusting in your forgiveness expressed in Jesus and looking to your spirit to make me your person.
LEADER: Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and in the prayers?
Our God, I know I was not meant to go it alone because you created the church to be supportive family for your children, and I know the church is made up of people like me --so it isn’t perfect! Help me to play my part in the church, so I can learn from the teaching, be encouraged by the fellowship, be renewed in the Eucharist, and find strength for living each day through prayer.
LEADER: Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord?
Our God, You understand that sometimes I do things I never intend to do. My sorrow doesn’t put it all right. Neither can I use my weakness as an excuse. Help me to begin anew, to experience your forgiveness and to walk again in Jesus’ way.
LEADER: Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ?
Our God, help me to live the way Jesus called me to live. May my actions speak louder than my words of your love and of new life in Jesus. At the same time, help me rise above my own stumbling speech and give the words to express what I believe. Let me be a witness to your Truth.
LEADER: Will you see and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbour as yourself?
Our God, all too often I have looked at people in a very superficial way. Help me begin to see them with your eyes, knowing that every person is created in your image, as your child. If Jesus died for that person, how can I despise that person? Give me a new love that reaches out to everyone because Jesus died for all.
LEADER: Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?
Our God, I don’t want my attitudes to be shaped by the injustices of society, by the discrimination, greed and lust that spoil relationships. In Jesus colour does not count, wealth carries no weight, and gender is not important. Help me to live in Jesus, to see people through his eyes, and work for the harmony that reflects your kingdom.
Silence
Recommitment to Discipleship and the Christian Way of life:
LEADER: As disciples of Christ do you commit to: Regularly engage the Gospel All: I do
LEADER: Take seriously your own Christian Formation All: I will with the help of God
LEADER: Play your part in building the Church by nurturing and fostering the spiritual formation of others regardless of their age, class or creed
All: I will as a member of the body of Christ
LEADER: Promise to be more intentional in living the Baptismal Covenant?
All: I will because for me it is the Way of life I have chosen.
LEADER: Participate fully in the mission and ministry of the Church
All: I will and with God’s help participate in building up his Kingdom.
THE ABSOLUTION (BCP Page 219)
PRESIDENT: Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who desires not the death of sinners, but rather that they may turn from their wickedness and live, has given power and commandment to His ministers to declare and pronounce to His people, being penitent, the absolution and remission of their sins. He pardons and absolves all those truly repent, and with sincere hearts believe His holy Gospel.
Therefore we beseech Him to grant us true repentance and His Holy Spirit, that those things may please Him which we do on this day, and that the rest of our life hereafter may be pure and holy, so that at the last we may come to His eternal joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
ALL: Amen.
THE GREETING OF PEACE (BCP Page 124-125)
FORM C
PRESIDENT: The Kingdom of God is justice, peace, and joy, inspired by the Holy Spirit.
ALL: They who thus serve Christ are acceptable to God and approved by others.
PRESIDENT: The peace of the Lord be always with you.
ALL: And also with you.
PRESIDENT: Let us share that peace.
SONG FOR THE PEACE: Hymn 296 - There’s a sweet sweet Spirit in this place
There’s a sweet, sweet Spirit in this place, and I know that it’s the Spirit of the Lord. There are sweet expressions on each face, and I know they feel the presence of the Lord.
Refrain:
Sweet Holy Spirit, Sweet Heavenly Dove, Stay right here with us, filling us with your love, And for these blessings, we lift our hearts in praise, without a doubt we’ll know that we have been revived when we shall leave this place.
There are blessings you cannot receive till you know him in his fullness, and believe. You’re the one to profit when you say, ‘I am going to walk with Jesus all the way. ’
OFFERTORY HYMNS: 446, Bless The Lord O My Soul
HYMN: 446 - I am so glad that our Father in heaven
1 I am so glad that our Father in heaven tells of his love in the book he has given. Wonderful things in the Bible I see; this is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.
Refrain:
I am so glad that Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me! I am so glad that Jesus loves me, Jesus loves even me!
2
Tho' I forget him and wander away, still he doth love me wherever I stray. Back to his dear, loving arms would I flee when I remember that Jesus loves me.
Refrain:
3 O if there's only one song I can sing when in his beauty I see the great King, this shall my song in eternity be: ‘O what a wonder that Jesus loves me!'
Refrain:
HYMN: Bless the Lord, O my soul
Refrain
Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul, worship His holy Name. Sing like never before, O my soul. I’ll worship Your holy Name.
1 The sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning; It’s time to sing your song again. Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me, Let me be singing when the evening comes.
Refrain
2 You’re rich in love and You’re slow to anger, Your Name is great and Your heart is kind; For all Your goodness I will keep on singing, Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find.
Refrain
3 And on that day when my strength is failing, The end draws near and my time has come; Still my soul sings your praise unending, Ten thousand years and then forevermore.
Refrain

PRESENTATION OF OFFERING - FORM B (BCP Page 126)
PRESIDENT AND PEOPLE
Father, we offer to you these gifts which you have given us; this bread, this wine, this money. With them we offer ourselves, our lives, and our work, to become through your Holy Spirit a reasonable, holy, and lively sacrifice. As this bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ, so may we and all your people become channels of your love; through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

For your blessings on this house of prayer, where we are stirred to faithful witness, and are built by your Spirit into a temple made without hands, even the body of your Son, Jesus Christ.
Therefore, we praise you; joining our voices with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven, who forever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:
ALL: Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God of power and might; heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
EUCHARISTIC PRAYER B
(BCP Page 135)
PRESIDENT: Holy and gracious Father, all creation rightly gives you praise. All life, all holiness, comes from you through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, whom you sent to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all.
We therefore bring you these gifts, and we ask you to make them holy by the power of your Spirit, that they may become the Body and Blood of your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, who offered Himself in obedience to your will, the Perfect Sacrifice for all mankind.
On the night he was betrayed, he took bread, and when he had given thanks to you, He broke it and gave it to his disciples and said: "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: "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, whenever you drink it, "For the remembrance of me."
ALL: When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, we proclaim the death of Christ until he comes again.
PRESIDENT: 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, we offer you, in thanksgiving, 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, we worship you, Father Almighty, with all who stand before you in earth and heaven in songs of everlasting praise:
ALL
Blessing and honour and glory and power be yours for ever and ever. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (BCP Page 144)
PRESIDENT: As our Saviour has taught us, so we pray:
ALL: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.
THE BREAKING OF BREAD (BCP Page 145)
PRESIDENT: We break this bread to share in the body of Christ.
ALL: Though we are many, we are one body, because we all share in one bread.
THE AGNUS DEI (BCP Page 147)
Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us.

ALL: Grant gracious Lord, that we so eat the flesh of your dear Son, Jesus Christ, and drink His blood, that we may evermore dwell in Him and He in us. Amen.
