Collect Almighty and eternal God,
who, for the firmer foundation of our faith, allowed your holy apostle Thomas to doubt the resurrection of your Son
till word and sight convinced him: grant to us, who have not seen, that we also may believe
and so confess Christ as our Lord and our God; who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
First Reading – Habakkuk 2.1-4
I will stand at my watch-post, and station myself on the rampart; I will keep watch to see
what he will say to me, and what he will answer concerning my complaint. Then the LORD answered me and said: Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so that a runner may read it. For there is still a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end, and
does not lie. If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay. Look at the proud! Their spirit is not right in them, but the righteous live by their faith.
Second Reading – Ephesians 2.19-22
You are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also
members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In him the whole structure is
joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling-place for God.
Gospel – John 20.24-29
Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.
So the other disciples told him, ‘We have seen the Lord.’ But he said to them, ‘Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his
side, I will not believe.’ A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace
be with you.’ Then he said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.’ Thomas answered him, ‘My Lord
and my God!’ Jesus said to him, ‘Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.’

Post Communion Prayer
Almighty God, who on the day of Pentecost
sent your Holy Spirit to the apostles with the wind from heaven and in tongues of flame,
filling them with joy and boldness to preach the gospel: by the power of the same Spirit
strengthen us to witness to your truth and to draw everyone to the fire of your love;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Faculty Applications
Oakham PCC have applied for permissions for two projects to be undertaken in the autumn.
A. A development of the memorial garden on the south side of the
church: Following a generous offer from Oakham in Bloom, it is proposed
to replant the south side garden as a memorial space. We are grateful for all
who, up to now, have kept this area looking so beautiful, particularly,
particularly Graham Scothern for his recent work, and we are sure that this
new scheme will only enhance this area of the churchyard.
B. Proposal for the replacement of the boiler: A new boiler is proposed to be
installed in the upstairs parish office. Public notification was displayed on Wednesday. Parishioners have 28
days from then to lodge any objections. More detailed plans are
available for inspection in the parish office or on the website.

Bereavement Support
Group
For the last 3 years we have been
running a Bereavement Support group in the Parish Hall. It has been for
people of all faiths or none, for those recently bereaved or those who are still aching after many years.
However, particularly since Hildred left, it has become clear that we are
not meeting people’s needs, so the meetings on the first Thursday of the
month in the Parish Hall will now stop. We are planning to re-launch
the service in the autumn, in a different format. To help provide
something useful, we have drawn up a short questionnaire to ask those who
are bereaved what would help. If you have lost a loved one – recently
or further back, please fill in one of the Questionnaires which will be at
the back of Oakham Church, or from the website. Sian Cheverton.
