FROM THE RECTOR
22 June 2014
Dear Friends,
The feast of Corpus Christi (the Body and Blood of Christ) gives us the opportunity to
reflect on Jesus’ wonderful gift to us of himself in the Holy Eucharist. In the Blessed
Sacrament we participate in and show forth Christ’s saving passion and death,
receive his divine life and experience his presence and love.
The Eucharist is not an optional extra for those Christians who might like this way of worshipping.
Jesus commanded us to celebrate the Eucharist as the means whereby we are incorporated into the
community of the redeemed and equipped by his grace through word and sacrament to serve him in
the world.
May our worship today bring us close to the Saviour who calls us to this sacred banquet.
With every blessing,
Fr Steven Salmon, Rector

PARISH NEWS
Music notes for today’s Family Eucharist: The anthem this morning is a setting
of the fourteenth-century Eucharistic hymn 'Ave Verum Corpus' (K618) composed by
W. A. Mozart (1756-1791) in June 1791 at the spa town of Baden bei Wien, near
Vienna. Mozart wrote the motet in a break during the composition of The Magic Flute.
Written only six months before his death the motet foreshadows various stylistic
elements of the famous Requiem. The opening of the motet is usually translated as
follows: Hail, true Body, born of the Virgin Mary, who having truly suffered, was
sacrificed on the cross for mankind, whose pierced side flowed with water and blood.
The voluntary this morning is a series of variations over a fixed pedal motif, known in
German as a Passacaglia and in English as a Chaconne. The organist Dietrich
Buxtehude (c. 1637 - 1707) was a great inspiration to J. S. Bach who once walked
over 200 miles to hear him play.
Corpus Christi – Choral Evensong:
Tonight at 6:00pm we welcome again
The Cathedral Singers singing
Evensong, to be followed by
refreshments. This group was formed
in 1989 and consists of around twenty
people dedicated to excellence in
church music and who perform a wide repertoire from the 16th to 21st
centuries. Helpers needed, please to assist with bringing food for supper,
welcome guests and join in the worship; please speak with Robyn Couch if
you can help.
St John’s Pins'n'Needles Group meets next on Tuesday 24 June, 9:30am
to 12:30pm in the hall. For information, please speak with Pam Fisher (9939
6330) or Heather Andrews (9971 6132).
St John’s weekday ministries will be in
recess over the school holidays from Monday 30 June to Friday 11 July,
including children’s and young people’s activities, and Wednesday Bible Studies.
A well-earned break and opportunity to refresh for our many ministry leaders!
 Fr Steven and Dn Sandra will be taking leave over this time also;
 On 6 and 13 July, Fr John Butterworth is to take the Sunday morning
services (to include Godly Play at 10:00am).
 Deacon Jenny will take the Wednesday Services and look after any
funerals, however, there will be no other weekday services in the holidays;
 There will be no evening service on Sunday 6 July. Tom Edwards will sing
Evensong on 13 July.
School Holiday Arrangements:
Happy Birthday to Heather Andrews (25th), Sally Bate, Ray Phelps (28th)
Daily Mass: In the Eucharist we recall, proclaim and share sacramentally in
Christ’s offering of himself on the Cross for our salvation. It is both a gift and a
commandment from the Lord. The daily Mass is the engine that drives the
parish!
Please be part of this ministry of prayer and worship during the week if you are
able, especially if you are coming in to St John’s anyway for some rostered duty
or other purpose. (I might add that there could be no greater support and
encouragement to our deacons Sandra and Jenny, and to me.)
…Fr Steven
St John’s Church and Community Centre – Sanctuary for all seeking
purpose in life; finding and sharing hope and strength; a place for prayer,
meditation, listening, learning, understanding, friendship, care,
encouragement and action.
Reading this week’s pew sheet, please reflect on ministries that focus on:
Worship at St John’s.
The people at worship are truly blessed – and through the sacraments we share
those special moments – receiving and taking into our everyday lives God’s rich
grace.
Think about this: our own congregation at worship is
one small part of the millions of men, women and
children who gather united for this purpose – all
denominations, all races, on all continents – all
people on different paths and stages in their life
journeys, but each seeking in their individual situation
to discover and follow “the way, truth and life”. It is
with this wider perspective that each Christian
can believe, hold hope and convey the love that
will truly transform the world.
For our part there are many at St John’s who are
actively working in this universal act of worship.
Our Parish worship extends beyond the Sunday morning services to the homes
of the sick and housebound, to the daily Mass and to other places where two and
three are gathered in his name. It is not only Fr Steven, Dn Sandra and Dn
Jenny, but also our servers, eucharistic assistants, leaders of different groups in
the parish, organist and choir, readers and intercessors, sidespeople, those who
prepare the gifts and other items used in the services, those who clean and
maintain our church building and contents, and those who arrange fellowship
and refreshments – all are privileged to be part of this great world-wide sacred
offering.
“How do we encourage those involved in our worship ministry”?
Family home become too big? Too lonely?
Living in a Serviced Apartment at Willandra
Village you can continue to enjoy your independent
lifestyle in a friendly and caring environment.
With the added benefit of letting someone else
look after the meal preparation, cleaning and
heavy laundry.
