PSALM 14 (Please remain seated.)The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”

All are corrupt and commit abominable acts; there is none who does any good.

The Lord looks down from heaven upon us all, to see if there is any who is wise, if there is one who seeks after God.

Every one has proved faithless; all alike have turned bad;

there is none who does good; no, not one. Have they no knowledge, all those evildoers

who eat up my people like bread and do not call upon the Lord?

See how they tremble with fear,because God is in the company of the righteous.

Their aim is to confound the plans of the afflicted, but the Lord is their refuge.

Oh, that Israel’s deliverance would come out of Zion! when the Lord restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice and Israel be glad.

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.

First ReadingA READING FROM THE LETTER OF PAUL TO THE EPHESIANS 3: 14-21 read by Helen TaylorI bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name. I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Hear what the Spirit is saying to the God’s People: Thanks be to God.

Second Reading

A READING FROM THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 6: 1-21 read by Darryl NakamotoAfter this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias. A large crowd kept following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing for the sick. Jesus went up the mountain and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near. When he looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?” He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, “Six months’ wages would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little.” One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are they among so many people?” Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was a great deal of grass in the place; so they sat down, about five thousand in all. Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted. When they were satisfied, he told his disciples, “Gather up the fragments left over, so that nothing may be lost.” So they gathered them up, and from the fragments of the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten, they filled twelve baskets. When the people saw the sign that he had done, they began to say, “This is indeed the prophet who is to come into theworld.” When Jesus realized that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain by himself. When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and

they were terrified. But he said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” Then they wanted to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the land toward which they were going.

Collect for the Day: O God, the protector of all who trust in you, increase and multiply upon us your mercy, that with you as our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Donations of non-perishable food are needed!Even though it’s summer, there are still hungry people coming to our door for food… and there’s almost nothing left to offer them. Your continuing donations are always gratefully received.

The OrganWe’re very excited that phase one of the planned organ restoration will begin during the next week. The work will take approximately four weeks and will involve major repairs and cleaning (something that hasn’t been done in several decades). It’s too early to say if we’ll be able to use the organ during this period, but it’s anticipated that at least part of the instrument

will function sufficiently to accompany hymns, etc. If not, the piano will be brought into action. So please, bear with us for the next month or so. Neil is happy to answer any questions you might have (if he can!). Feel free to speak to him following the service, or you can email him at nshoulton@gmail.com.

Summer SaturdaysBecause of the organ restoration, the Saturday concerts have had to be reorganized. It’s hoped that performers can be booked for August 4 and August 11. Fiona Strachan will perform on August 18. There will be no concert on August 25.

An extra concertToday at 3 PM countertenor Tim Wong will perform a short concert along with pianist Wesley Shen. A song cycle by Robert Schumann is featured – Liederkreis Op. 39.
