CHRISTMAS CARD. In the past we have had a large Christmas
card made, for us all to sign, which we want to start again this
Christmas. Instead of writing lots of cards for all members of the
congregation, which is time consuming and often they are left on
the back of the pews for someone else to deliver, we just sign to
everyone inside the large card and make a donation of the money
saved from not having to buy so many. The card should be
available from 23 November. A box for money will be placed on
the Literature table. If you have any queries please speak to Ros
Prentice.
Items for inclusion in Pews News should be emailed to
Anne Cuthbertson, anne2202@blueyonder.co.uk, preferably by
the preceding Sunday.

Collect & Readings for:
Remembrance Sunday
The whole congregation says all bold text
First Reading
Gospel Reading
Amos 5:18-24
A reading from the book of the prophet Amos
Collect
God, our refuge and strength,
bring near the day when wars shall cease
and poverty and pain shall end,
that earth may know the peace of heaven
through Jesus Christ our Lord
Amen.
Alas for you who desire the day of the Lord!
Why do you want the day of the Lord?
It is darkness, not light; as if someone fled
from a lion, and was met by a bear;
or went into the house and rested a hand
against the wall, and was bitten by a snake.
Is not the day of the Lord darkness, not light,
and gloom with no brightness in it?
I hate, I despise your festivals, and I take no
delight in your solemn assemblies.
Even though you offer me your burntofferings and grain-offerings, I will not
accept them; and the offerings of well-being
of your fatted animals I will not look upon.
Take away from me the noise of your songs;
I will not listen to the melody of your harps.
But let justice roll down like waters, and
righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
This is the Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Matthew 25:1-13
Hear the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to Matthew.
Glory to you, O Lord
‘Then the kingdom of heaven will be like this.
Ten bridesmaids took their lamps and went to
meet the bridegroom. Five of them were
foolish, and five were wise. When the foolish
took their lamps, they took no oil with them;
but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps.
As the bridegroom was delayed, all of them
became drowsy and slept. But at midnight
there was a shout, “Look! Here is the
bridegroom! Come out to meet him.” Then all
those bridesmaids got up and trimmed their
lamps. The foolish said to the wise, “Give us
some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.”
But the wise replied, “No! there will not be
enough for you and for us; you had better go
to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.”
And while they went to buy it, the bridegroom
came, and those who were ready went with
him into the wedding banquet; and the door
was shut. Later the other bridesmaids came
also, saying, “Lord, lord, open to us.” But he
replied, “Truly I tell you, I do not know you.”
Keep awake therefore, for you know neither
the day nor the hour.
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, O Christ
