PRELUDE: Adagio in E
Frank Bridge (1879-1941)
INTROIT HYMN: TiS 99 ʻGod, we praise you, God we bless youʼ
SENTENCE: ʻWho will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or
distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? No, in all
these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.ʼ
Romans 8.35,37
The service continues on Page 119 & 120 with the Greeting, Prayer of
Preparation, Confession, Absolution & Gloria.
COLLECT:
Living God, you made your Church grow through the zeal, courage, and unflinching
witness of your servants martyred in New Guinea: give to us and all your people
such steadfast faith in your good purposes that we may serve faithfully wherever you
have stationed us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
FIRST READING: Zephaniah 3.14-20
Sing aloud, O daughter Zion; shout, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart,
O daughter Jerusalem! The Lord has taken away the judgements against you,
he has turned away your enemies. The king of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst;
you shall fear disaster no more. On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: Do not
fear, O Zion; do not let your hands grow weak. The Lord, your God, is in your midst,
a warrior who gives victory; he will rejoice over you with gladness, he will renew you
in his love; he will exult over you with loud singing as on a day of festival. I will
remove disaster from you so that you will not bear reproach for it. I will deal with all
your oppressors at that time. And I will save the lame and gather the outcast,
and I will change their shame into praise and renown in all the earth. At that time I
will bring you home, at the time when I gather you; for I will make you renowned and
praised among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your
eyes, says the Lord.
Hear the word of the Lord,
thanks be to God.
PSALM: 130 (APBA p.364)
Chant: Walford Davies
SECOND READING: Romans 8.33-39
Who will bring any charge against Godʼs elect? It is God who justifies.
Who is to condemn? It is Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised, who is at
the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the
love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness,
or peril, or sword? As it is written, ʻFor your sake we are being killed all day long;
we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered.ʼ No, in all these things we are more
than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death,
nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us
from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Hear the word of the Lord, thanks be to God.
GRADUAL HYMN: TiS 657 (t497) ʻGod of freedom, God of justiceʼ
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:

All:
The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John 12.20-32
Glory to you Lord Jesus Christ
Now among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks. They
came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, ʻSir, we wish to
see Jesus.ʼ Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told
Jesus. Jesus answered them, ʻThe hour has come for the Son of Man to be
glorified. Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it
remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Those who love their
life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also.
Whoever serves me, the Father will honour. ʻNow my soul is troubled. And what
should I say—“Father, save me from this hour”? No, it is for this reason that I have
come to this hour. Father, glorify your name.ʼ Then a voice came from heaven, ʻI
have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.ʼ The crowd standing there heard it and
said that it was thunder. Others said, ʻAn angel has spoken to him.ʼ Jesus
answered, ʻThis voice has come for your sake, not for mine. Now is the judgement
of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted
up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.ʼ
For the Gospel of the Lord, praise to you Lord Jesus Christ. SERMON: The Rev Ken Spreadborough
PRAYERS: Concluding with the following Diocesan ʻGoing for Growthʼ Prayer:
Living God, creator, redeemer, strengthener:
enliven, guide and strengthen your Church
in all you send us to do.
By your Holy Spirit enable us to grow:in faith, in service, in generous giving;
and add to your Church new disciples that your
saving, reconciling, recreating work may go forward,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
