Tenth Sunday after Pentecost
Welcome to St Mark’s Anglican Church
a welcoming, inclusive community where questions are
encouraged and everyone has a place at God's table .
We hope your time with us is special and that you are able to join us after the service
for tea or coffee and some morning tea. If you are visiting from another church or
tradition and you wish to do so you are welcome to receive the bread and wine of
holy communion with us this morning. If you prefer you can ask for a blessing or
simply remain in your seat at the time of communion.
What if people were invited to come tell what they already know of God
instead of to learn what they are supposed to believe? What if they were
blessed for what they are doing in the world instead of chastened for not
doing more at church? What if church felt more like a way station than a
destination? What if the church’s job were to move people out the door
instead of trying to keep them in, by convincing them that God needed
them more in the world than in the church?” ― Barbara Brown Taylor

The Summer Day
Mary Oliver
Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?
This grasshopper, I meanthe one who has flung herself out of the grass,
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and downwho is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.
Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.
I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
Scripture Sentence
Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be
opened for you.
Luke 11.9
Collect
Provident Father,
with the prayer your Son taught us always on our lips,
we ask, we seek, we knock at your door:
help us so to seek that we may truly find,
so to ask that we may joyfully receive,
and so to knock that the door of mercy
may be opened for us;
though Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
First Reading: Hosea 1.2-10
When the Lord first spoke through Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea, ‘Go, take
for yourself a wife of whoredom and have children of whoredom, for the land
commits great whoredom by forsaking the Lord.’ So he went and took Gomer
daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
And the Lord said to him, ‘Name him Jezreel; for in a little while I will punish
the house of Jehu for the blood of Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom
of the house of Israel. On that day I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of
Jezreel.’
She conceived again and bore a daughter. Then the Lord said to him, ‘Name
her Lo-ruhamah, for I will no longer have pity on the house of Israel or forgive
them. But I will have pity on the house of Judah, and I will save them by
the Lord their God; I will not save them by bow, or by sword, or by war, or by
horses, or by horsemen.’
When she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived and bore a son. Then
the Lord said, ‘Name him Lo-ammi, for you are not my people and I am not
your God.’
Yet the number of the people of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which
can be neither measured nor numbered; and in the place where it was said to
them, ‘You are not my people’, it shall be said to them, ‘Children of the living
God.’
Psalm 85: page 311 of the prayer book
Second Reading: Colossians 2.6-15
As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to live your
lives in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you
were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit,
according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the
universe, and not according to Christ. For in him the whole fullness of deity
dwells bodily, and you have come to fullness in him, who is the head of every
ruler and authority. In him also you were circumcised with a spiritual
circumcision, by putting off the body of the flesh in the circumcision of
Christ; when you were buried with him in baptism, you were also raised with
him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead. And
when you were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh,
God made you alive together with him, when he forgave us all our
trespasses, erasing the record that stood against us with its legal demands. He
set this aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and
made a public example of them, triumphing over them in it.
Gospel: Luke 11.1-13
He was praying in a certain place, and after he had finished, one of his
disciples said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.’He
said to them, ‘When you pray, say:
Father, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins,
for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us.
And do not bring us to the time of trial.’
And he said to them, ‘Suppose one of you has a friend, and you go to him at
midnight and say to him, “Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; for a friend of
mine has arrived, and I have nothing to set before him.”And he answers from
within, “Do not bother me; the door has already been locked, and my children
are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.” I tell you, even
though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, at
least because of his persistence he will get up and give him whatever he
needs.
‘So I say to you, Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find;
knock, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives,
and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will
be opened. Is there anyone among you who, if your child asks for a fish, will
give a snake instead of a fish? Or if the child asks for an egg, will give a
scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those
who ask him!’

You can take a bundle of Monster Market fliers to deliver in your street or on
your daily walk

You can choose a couple of recipes to make for the cake stall - they are all
tried and tested and they enable us to know exactly what ingredients have
been used so that they can be labelled properly.

Millwright, Mel Tipper, David Craig, Pamela Davey or Janette Mychajilyk with your
ideas and suggestions.
In readiness for our Centenary Celebrations in 2017, a steering group has
begun work on a Strategic Planning process so that together we can develop a
clear vision for where we are going as a church as we begin the next chapter in
the life of the Parish. Very soon you will be invited to have your say and be part
of the process. Please begin thinking about your vision for St Mark’s and what might
be needed to make it happen.

There are many opportunities for ministry at St Mark’s.
We are always happy to hear from people interested in reading the scriptures during worship,
leading intercessions and those interested in becoming a Lay Assistant. There are also
opportunities to assist with children’s ministry, RI at the school, looking after the church
grounds and many other things.
Please speak to Fr Jeremy if you are interested in any of these things.
