CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL NELSON
SERVICE TO MARK THE 70th ANNIVERSARY OF
THE ENDING OF WORLD WAR 2.
Sunday 30th AUGUST 2015
10AM
Followed by a Community Morning Tea.
A Service of Remembrance for the People
and Communities of Nelson and New
Zealand who were involved in this war
and to celebrate that finally peace was
achieved with the ending of the war.
8am and 10am First Reading from the
First Book of Kings Chapter 2 verses 1012 and Chapter 3 verses 3-14
Then David rested with his ancestors and
was buried in the City of David. He had
reigned forty years over Israel—seven
years in Hebron and thirty-three in
Jerusalem. So Solomon sat on the throne
of his father David, and his rule was firmly
established.
Solomon showed his love for the LORD by
walking according to the instructions given
him by his father David, except that he
offered sacrifices and burned incense on
the high places.
6
The king went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices,
for that was the most important high place,
and Solomon offered a thousand burnt
offerings on that altar. At Gibeon the LORD
appeared to Solomon during the night in a
dream, and God said, “Ask for whatever
you want me to give you.”
8am and 10am Second Reading from the
Book of Ephesians Chapter 5:15-20
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as
unwise but as wise, making the most of
every opportunity, because the days are
evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but
understand what the Lord’s will is. Do not
get drunk on wine, which leads to
debauchery. Instead, be filled with the
Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms,
hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and
make music from your heart to the
Lord, always giving thanks to God the
Father for everything, in the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
Solomon answered, “You have shown
great kindness to your servant, my father
David, because he was faithful to you and
righteous and upright in heart. You have
continued this great kindness to him and
have given him a son to sit on his throne
this very day.
“Now, LORD my God, you have made your
servant king in place of my father David.
But I am only a little child and do not know
how to carry out my duties. Your servant is
here among the people you have chosen, a
great people, too numerous to count or
number. So give your servant a discerning
heart to govern your people and to
distinguish between right and wrong. For
who is able to govern this great people of
yours?”
8am and 10am The Holy Gospel
according to St John Chapter 6 verses
51-58
I am the living bread that came down from
heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live
forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will
give for the life of the world.”
Then the Jews began to argue sharply
among themselves, “How can this man give
us his flesh to eat?”
The Lord was pleased that Solomon had
asked for this. So God said to him, “Since
you have asked for this and not for long life
or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for
the death of your enemies but for
discernment in administering justice, I will
do what you have asked. I will give you a
wise and discerning heart, so that there will
never have been anyone like you, nor will
there ever be. Moreover, I will give you
what you have not asked for—both wealth
and honor—so that in your lifetime you will
have no equal among kings. And if you
walk in obedience to me and keep my
decrees and commands as David your
father did, I will give you a long life.”
Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you,
unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man
and drink his blood, you have no life in
you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my
blood has eternal life, and I will raise them
up at the last day. For my flesh is real food
and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats
my flesh and drinks my blood remains in
me, and I in them. Just as the living Father
sent me and I live because of the Father, so
the one who feeds on me will live because
of me. This is the bread that came down
from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna
and died, but whoever feeds on this bread
will live forever.”
10am Psalm 111
O praise the Lord.
I will praise the Lord with my whole heart :
in the company of the upright and among the congregation.
7
The works of the Lord are great :
and studied by all who take delight in them.
His deeds are majestic and glorious :
and his righteousness stands for ever.
His marvellous acts have won him a name to be remembered :
the Lord is gracious and merciful.
He gives food to those that fear him :
he remembers his covenant for ever.
He showed his people the power of his acts :
in giving them the heritage of the heathen.
The works of his hands are faithful and just :
and all his commandments are sure;
They stand firm for ever and ever :
they are done in faithfulness and in truth.
He sent redemption to his people,
he ordained his covenant for ever :
holy is his name and worthy to be feared.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and of good understanding are those that keep his commandments :
his praise shall endure for ever.
And Moses said, “Here I am.”
7pm First Reading from the Book of
Exodus Chapter 2:23-3:10
During that long period, the king of Egypt
died. The Israelites groaned in their slavery
and cried out, and their cry for help
because of their slavery went up to
God. God heard their groaning and he
remembered his covenant with Abraham,
with Isaac and with Jacob. So God looked
on the Israelites and was concerned about
them.
“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take
off your sandals, for the place where you
are standing is holy ground.” Then he said,
“I am the God of your father, the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of
Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face,
because he was afraid to look at God.
The LORD said, “I have indeed seen the
misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard
them crying out because of their slave
drivers, and I am concerned about their
suffering. So I have come down to rescue
them from the hand of the Egyptians and to
bring them up out of that land into a good
and spacious land, a land flowing with milk
and honey—the home of the Canaanites,
Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and
Jebusites. And now the cry of the Israelites
has reached me, and I have seen the way
the Egyptians are oppressing them. So
now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to
bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”
Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro
his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and
he led the flock to the far side of the
wilderness and came to Horeb, the
mountain of God. There the angel of the
LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from
within a bush. Moses saw that though the
bush was on fire it did not burn up. So
Moses thought, “I will go over and see this
strange sight—why the bush does not burn
up.”
When the LORD saw that he had gone over
to look, God called to him from within the
bush, “Moses! Moses!”

7pm Second Reading from the Book of
Hebrews Chapter 13 verses 1-15
Keep on loving one another as brothers and
sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to
strangers, for by so doing some people
have shown hospitality to angels without
knowing it. Continue to remember those in
prison as if you were together with them in
prison, and those who are mistreated as if
you yourselves were suffering.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and
today and forever.
Marriage should be honored by all, and the
marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge
the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.
Keep your lives free from the love of money
and be content with what you have,
because God has said,
The high priest carries the blood of animals
into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering,
but the bodies are burned outside the
camp. And so Jesus also suffered outside
the city gate to make the people holy
through his own blood. Let us, then, go to
him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace
he bore. For here we do not have an
enduring city, but we are looking for the city
that is to come.
Do not be carried away by all kinds of
strange teachings. It is good for our hearts
to be strengthened by grace, not by eating
ceremonial foods, which is of no benefit to
those who do so. We have an altar from
which those who minister at the tabernacle
have no right to eat.
“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake
you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord
is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can
mere mortals do to me?”
Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually
offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit
of lips that openly profess his name.
Remember your leaders, who spoke the
word of God to you. Consider the outcome
of their way of life and imitate their faith.
7pm Psalm 100
O shout to the Lord in triumph, all the earth :
serve the Lord with gladness,
and come before his face with songs of joy.
Know that the Lord he is God :
it is he who has made us and we are his;
we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
Come into his gates with thanksgiving,
and into his courts with praise :
give thanks to him, and bless his holy name.
For the Lord is good, his loving mercy is for ever :
his faithfulness throughout all generations.
