THE SERVICE OF HOLY COMMUNION

Sentence for the Day:

Blessed are you when people hate and revile and defame you on account of the Son

of Man. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy for surely your reward is great in

heaven. Luke 6.22-23

Hymns: 7.30am Eucharist:-MP: 607,278,428 (sheet in pew bulletin)920.

The Collect for the Day:

Eternal God, neither death nor life can separate us from your love: Grant that we

may serve you faithfully here on earth, and in heaven rejoice with all our saints who

ceaselessly proclaim your glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns

with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen

1st Reading: Daniel 7. 1-3.15-18 Margaret O’Kearney Georgina Greenhill

In the first year of King Belshazzar of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his

head as he lay in bed. Then he wrote down the dream: I, Daniel, saw in my vision by

night the four winds of heaven stirring up the great sea, and four great beasts came

up out of the sea, different from one another. As for me, Daniel, my spirit was

troubled within me, and the visions of my head terrified me. I approached one of

the attendants to ask him the truth concerning all this. So he said that he would dis-

close to me the interpretation of the matter: ‘As for these four great beasts, four

kings shall arise out of the earth. But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive

the kingdom and possess the kingdom for ever—for ever and ever.’

Psalm 149 (verses said alternately between the reader and congregation)

1. Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the

faithful.

2. Let Israel be glad in its Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

3. Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with tambourine

and lyre.

Psalm 149 (continued)

4. For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with victory.

5. Let the faithful exult in glory; let them sing for joy on their couches.

6. Let the high praises of God be in their throats and two-edged swords in their

hands,

7. to execute vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

8. to bind their kings with fetters and their nobles with chains of iron,

9. to execute on them the judgement decreed. This is glory for all his faithful ones.

Praise the Lord!

2nd Reading: Ephesians 1. 11-23 Brian Roy Jacqueline Chapman

In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance, having been destined according to the

purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will, so that

we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, might live for the praise of his glory.

In him you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation,

and had believed in him, were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit; this is

the pledge of our inheritance towards redemption as God’s own people, to the praise

of his glory. I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love towards all the

saints, and for this reason I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in

my prayers. I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give

you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him, so that, with the eyes

of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which he has called you,

what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints, and what is the

immeasurable greatness of his power for us who believe, according to the working of

his great power. God put this power to work in Christ when he raised him from the

dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and

authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in

this age but also in the age to come. And he has put all things under his feet and has

made him the head over all things for the church, which is his body, the fullness of

him who fills all in all.

Gospel: : Luke 6. 20-31

Then he looked up at his disciples and said: ‘Blessed are you who are poor, for yours

is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled.

Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. Blessed are you when people hate

you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son

of Man. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is great in

heaven; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets. But woe to you who are

rich, for you have received your consolation. Woe to you who are full now, for you

will be hungry. Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep. Woe

to you when all speak well of you, for that is what their ancestors did to the false

prophets. But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate

you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. If anyone strikes you

on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not

withhold even your shirt. Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes

away your goods, do not ask for them again. Do to others as you would have them do

to you.’

If your child is over the age of 7, is ready to take the next step on their faith journey, and is not yet admitted to Holy Communion; a 5 week preparation course will be offered leading up to first communion on Christmas day.

All Saints’ Day– Sunday 6 November 2016 Daniel 7.1-3, 15-18; Psalm 149; Ephesians 1.11-23; Luke 6.20-31 Anyone can know Jesus. This is God’s free gift of grace to those who have faith. Knowing Jesus can cost everything. But we do not walk the path of discipleship alone. We have the Holy Spirit. We are called to a life of faith and love. We are called to prayer. We are not alone, for we have each other, the Church. We are called to grow in wisdom, knowledge and revelation. We are called to know the hope of our calling in Jesus and know the power of God which he used to raise Christ from the dead. We are never alone, even in death. We give thanks for the lives of all of those whom God has called to himself, especially those whom we have loved and lost, but for a while. Pray that we may be people of humility and love, so all may see in us, the Lord Jesus. Give thanks for the work of the Amity Foundation in China, remembering especially General Sec-retary Qiu Zhonghui. Give thanks for all churches dedicated under the patronage of All Saints, remembering especially All Saints’ Cathedral, Bathurst.
