GATHERING IN GOD’S NAME

Please stand for the Processional Hymn. THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN Sung by all, standing.

Ye servants who once bore the light of Gospel truth o'er heathen night, alleluia, alleluia; still may your work that light impart, to glad our eyes and cheer our heart; alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

O God, by whom to them was given the key that shuts and opens heaven, alleluia, alleluia; our chains unbind, our loss repair, and grant us grace to enter there; alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

That when as judge thy Son shall come, to bring his ransomed people home, alleluia, alleluia; he may with them pronounce us blest, and place us in thine endless rest; alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Latin, c. 10th century, tr. Richard Mant (1776-1848) adapted from New English Hymnal 214

THE GREETING

Blessed be God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Blessed be God’s Kingdom, now and forever.

The Lord be with you. And also with you.

THE PRAYER OF PREPARATION

Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hidden: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen. The people are seated or kneel.

THE CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION

We are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses.

Let us therefore run our race, laying aside every weight and bringing our sins to the Lord in penitence and faith.

Merciful God, our maker and our judge, we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, and in what we have failed to do: we have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves; we repent and are sorry for all our sins. Father, forgive us. Strengthen us to love and obey you in newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Almighty God, who has promised forgiveness to all who turn to him in faith: pardon you and set you free from all your sins, strengthen you in all goodness and keep you in eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

All stand to sing

HYMN OF PRAISE Gloria in exclesis Deo Christ Church Mass – Philip Matthias (b.1954)

THE COLLECT OF THE DAY

Let us pray.

Almighty God, whose apostles Peter and Paul glorified you in their death as in their lives: grant that your Church, inspired by their teaching and example, and knit together in unity by your Spirit, may ever stand firm upon the one foundation, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD The people are seated for the readings and psalm.

THE FIRST READING Ezekiel 34.11-16 Ms Jenny Liggett

11 For thus says the Lord GOD: I myself will search for my sheep, and will seek them out. 12As shepherds seek out their flocks when they are among their scattered sheep, so I will seek out my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places to which they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness. 13I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited parts of the land. 14I will feed them with good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel shall be their pasture; there they shall lie down in good grazing land, and they shall feed on rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will make them lie down, says the Lord GOD. 16I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, but the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them with justice. Hear the word of the Lord: thanks be to God.

PSALM 87 Chant: Anthony Gregory Murray (1905-92) Reproduced from Together in Song 52 by permission

The choir introduces the antiphon, then all repeat.

He has founded it upon a holy hill : and the Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things shall be spoken of you: O Zion city of our God. Response

I might speak of my kindred in Egypt or Babylon: in Philistia, Tyre or Nubia, wherein each was born. But of Zion it shall be said: many were born in her, he that is Most High has established her. Response

When the Lord draws up the record of the nations: he shall take note where everyone was born. And the singers and the dancers together: shall make their song to your name. Response

THE SECOND READING 2 Timothy 4.1-8 Canon Kate Drummond

In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I solemnly urge you: proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favourable or unfavourable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching. For the time is coming when people will not put up with sound doctrine, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander away to myths. As for you, always be sober, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, carry out your ministry fully.

As for me, I am already being poured out as a libation, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. From now on there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have longed for his appearing. Hear the word of the Lord: thanks be to God.

The people stand to sing and remain standing for the Gospel.

THE HOLY GOSPEL St John 21.15-20

The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to St Matthew: Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my lambs.’ 16A second time he said to him, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Tend my sheep.’17He said to him the third time, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me?’ Peter felt hurt because he said to him the third time, ‘Do you love me?’ And he said to him, ‘Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my sheep. 18Very truly, I tell you, when you were younger, you used to fasten your own belt and to go wherever you wished. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten a belt around you and take you where you do not wish to go.’ 19(He said this to indicate the kind of death by which he would glorify God.) After this he said to him, ‘Follow me.’

For the Gospel of the Lord: praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. The people are seated at the invitation of the preacher.

THE NICENE CREED

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE Mrs Pat Blake, Ms Mia Lucas, Mr Reinaldo Adjiputro & Mr Damian Neylon

After each intercession, In your mercy, hear our prayer.

The president prays the concluding collect, and the people respond,

Almighty God, you have promised to hear our prayers. Grant that what we have asked in faith, we may by your grace receive, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Love sounds the depths of grief and pain and gathers all who weep and mourn; this loving presence will remain and life anew sustain: God's love embraces all!

3

Love spans the breadth of faith and fear where questions dance with mystery, as wisdom holds us ever near and sings in accents clear: God's love embraces all!

5

Love permeates this holy ground and lights a fire of awe within; love speaks in stillness and in sound and shares this truth profound: God's love embraces all!

The president recalls the Last Supper, and a minister introduces the following acclamation

Let us proclaim the mystery of faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again. The prayer continues, and concludes: ... in songs of never-ending praise: Blessing and honour and glory and power are yours, for ever and ever. Amen.

Freedom give to those in bondage, lift the burdens caused by sin. Give new hope, new strength and courage, grant release from fears within. Light for darkness; joy for sorrow; love for hatred; peace for strife; these and countless blessings follow as the Spirit gives new life.

In the streets of every city where the bruised and lonely dwell, let us show the Saviour’s pity, let us of his mercy tell; to all lands and peoples bringing all the richness of thy word, till the world, thy praises singing, hails thee Christ, Redeemer, Lord.

Chapter’s Finance Committee has identified that we would need to raise an additional $50,000 each year for the next five years to make this appointment.
