THE COLLECT- Proper 27 (Page 181 BCP) O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he is pure; that, when he comes again with power and great glory, we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

REFLECTION:1st LESSON: From the Old Testament we hear the story of the food which God miraculously provided for the prophet Elijah and the widow of Zarephath and her family.

1st LESSON: 7:30a.m. - Janice Turton 9:15a.m. - Youth

FIRST LESSON (OLD TESTAMENT): 1 Kings 17:8-16 The word of the Lord came to Elijah, "Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to feed you." So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks; and he called to her and said, "Bring me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink." And as she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, "Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand." And she said, "As the Lord your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of meal in a jar, and a little oil in a cruse; and now, I am gathering a couple of sticks, that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die." And Elijah said to her, "Fear not; go and do as you have said; but first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterward make for yourself and your son. For thus says the Lord the God of Israel, `The jar of meal shall not be spent, and the cruse of oil shall not fail, until the day that the Lord sends rain upon the earth.'" And she went and did as Elijah said; and she, and he, and her household ate for many days. The jar of meal was not spent, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by Elijah.

REFLECTION: THE PSALM: A hymn to the Lord who forms the world and rules in justice, who heals and cares for the orphan and widow.

PSALM: 146 Lauda, anima mea.. (7:30a.m. - Page 662 BCP) 1. Praise the Lord, O my soul; while I live will I praise the Lord : yea, as long as I have any being, I will sing praises unto my God. 2. O put not your trust in princes, nor in any child of man : for there is no help in them. 3. For when the breath of man goeth forth he shall turn again to his earth : and then all his thoughts perish. 4. Blessed is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help : and whose hope is in the Lord his God; 5. Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that therein is : who keepeth his promise for ever; 6. Who helpeth them to right that suffer wrong : who feedeth the hungry. 7. The Lord looseth men out of prison : the Lord giveth sight to the blind.

3

8. The Lord helpeth them that are fallen : the Lord careth for the righteous. 9. The Lord careth for the strangers, he defendeth the fatherless and widow :as for the way of the ungodly, he turneth it upside down. 10. The Lord thy God, O Sion, shall be King for evermore : and throughout all generations.

REFLECTION: 2nd LESSON: This reading tells how Christ, the eternal high priest, has entered into the heavenly sanctuary to present the ultimate and prefect sacrifice of himself for sins.

2nd LESSON: 7:30a.m. - Judith Yearwood 9:15a.m. - Youth

SECOND LESSON (NEW TESTAMENT): SECOND LESSON (NEW TESTAMENT): SECOND LESSON (NEW TESTAMENT): SECOND LESSON (NEW TESTAMENT): Hebrews 9:24-28

Christ has entered, not into a sanctuary made with hands, a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the Holy Place yearly with blood not his own; for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the age to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

GRADUAL HYMN: 438

REFLECTION: THE GOSPEL: In the Gospel lesson Jesus warns against religious officials who loves honors and flattery, and he then points out a poor widow who makes an offering of what little she possess. Together the two stories stress a theme found often in the Gospels: those who think themselves religious are in great danger of living a life of hypocrisy, while genuine trust in God may be found among the least obvious. The religious officials take advantage of people like widows, and wealthy persons make a show of giving large sums of money, but the woman herself is an example of the great generosity. Her gift of all she has points forward to Jesus’ self-offering.

THE GOSPEL: Mark 12:38-44 Teaching in the temple Jesus said, "Beware of the scribes, who like to go about in long robes, and to have salutations in the market places and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts, who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation." And he sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the multitude putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. And a poor widow came, and put in two copper coins, which make a penny. And he called his disciples to him, and said to them, "Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. For they all contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, her whole living."

1. Sunday 15 November, we will be having as our guest preacher the Right Rev. Laish Boyd, the Bishop of the Diocese of Nassau and the Bahamas, with the Turks and Caicos Islands. Provincial Synod will be held in Barbados from 14 – 20 November 2015.

2. The third Sunday in Advent, 13 December will be our Rose or Pink Sunday. This year we are having a Retiring Collection for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. We will also use that opportunity to launch the Flower and Garden Festival 2016.

3. The Diocese at the recommendation of the Bishop will be shifting to the Revised Common Lectionary. Currently we are using the Episcopal Lectionary which is found at the back of the Book of Common Prayer and also many the Lectionaries that are in use. These have gone out of print, and the Revised Lectionary is now available. They are a number of changes and it will entail the purchasing of new books. We are flexible at St. Peter’s because we print our readings every Sunday and that will help us to overcome this problem.

WHY WEAR A POPPY

At the end of World War amid the ruins of Europe and the depressing social and economic conditions that left many soldiers crippled and destitute, a decision was made that resulted in the formation of The British Empire League. Its establishment in 1921-22 by General Smuts and Field Marshall Earl Haig was non-partisan and its Charter was “TO SEEK TO ENSURE THAT NO EMPIRE EX-SERVICEMAN OR WOMAN SHALL BE WITHOUT HELP IN TIME OF NEED”.

In 1918 the Allies accepted the German surrender and this was called Armistice Day. This surrender was accepted at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month and the survivors decided that would be a fitting day on which to remember their comrades.

Poppies, which grow naturally across the blood soaked lands of France and the Benelux countries, symbolise PEACE, COMPASSION AND HOPE and were chosen to be used as a symbol of Remembrance for those who gave their lives. The red represents the blood that was shed, and the black centre, the grief experienced by all as a result .of war. The French Secretary of the Young Men’s Christian Association. Mme Güerin, was the person who suggested that artificial poppies be made and sold to help ex-service men and their dependents in time of need.

Each year in Barbados the Remembrance Day Parade is held on the Sunday nearest to the 11th of November at the Cenotaph in Heroes Square. On the four sides of the Cenotaph are the names of Barbadian servicemen who lost their lives during the wars. It will be the responsibility of tomorrow’s adults to ensure that our society continues to remember those who fell, were maimed or were left alone.

We also remember those Barbadians who were in the Merchant Navy and were responsible for the transport of food and materials across the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. Many sailors lost their lives when German U Boats sank their ships. The Barbados Legion, formed in 1957, was affiliated to the British Empire League, which changed Its name in 1959 to the British Commonwealth Ex-Services League and encompassed 54 member countries The Barbados Legion has its Headquarters at the Main Guard, Garrison, and currently has a membership of over 400. Approximately 200 are World War II veterans who served in the South Caribbean Force, the First Caribbean Regiment, the Trinidad Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve or the Army, Navy and Air Force of Great Britain or Canada.

The Barbados Poppy League, which was established in 1922, is now the fund raising arm of the Barbados Legion, and is a vibrant organisation due to the involvement of volunteers from all walks of life ably assisted by the Girl Guides, Brownies, Cadet Corps and the Church Brigade as well as some of the Legionnaires themselves.

The money collected is used to pay monthly welfare allowances and Christmas bonuses to those legionnaires in need. It also helps with the repair of houses, medical, legal and funeral expenses. Wheelchairs and transport for the less mobile are also made available.

Dedication Prayer Lord, be with us this day and throughout the week; Within us to purify us; Above us to draw us up; Before us to lead us; Behind us to restrain us; Around us to protect us. Amen.

BLESSING

RECESSIONAL HYMN: 436

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. Laurence .R. Binyon, (1869 – 1943)
