Hymn: TiS 620
1. O Jesus Christ, may grateful hymns be rising
in every city for your love and care;
inspire our worship, grant the glad surprising
that your blest Spirit rouses everywhere.
2. Grant us new courage, sacrificial, humble,
strong in your strength to venture and to dare,
to lift the fallen, guide the feet that stumble,
seek out the lonely and God’s mercy share.
3. Show us your Spirit, brooding o’er each city,
as once you wept above Jerusalem,
seeking to gather all in love and pity,
and healing those who touch your garment’s hem.
Greeting: The Lord be with you.
AND ALSO WITH YOU. (see Ruth 2:4)
3
Sentence: The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand;
repent, and believe in the gospel. Mark 1.15
Prayer of Preparation:
As we gather as God's people let us pray together:
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 Summary of the Commandments:
‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the
Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all
your mind, and with all your strength.’ Jesus said: ‘This is the great and
first commandment. And a second is like it: you shall love your
neighbour as yourself.’
Kyrie eleison (Dudman)

The Confession
Christ the grace of God has dawned upon the world with healing for all.
Let us bring our weaknesses and infirmities to him, confessing our sins 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.
The Absolution (Celebrant)
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.

Gloria [Dudman]

Prayer of the Day
Bountiful God,
through your Son you have called us to repent of our sin,
to believe the good news,
and to celebrate the coming of your kingdom:
teach us, like Christ’s first apostles,
to hear the call to discipleship,
and, forsaking old ways,
to proclaim the gospel of new life to a broken world;
through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD
Readings from 'New Revised Standard Version' (NRSV)
First Reading: Jonah 3.1-10
1 The word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time, saying,
2 "Get up, go
to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you." 3 So Jonah set out and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD.
Now Nineveh was an exceedingly large city, a three days' walk across. 4 Jonah began to go into the city, going a day's walk. And he cried out, "Forty
days more, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!" 5 And the people of Nineveh
believed God; they proclaimed a fast, and everyone, great and small, put on
sackcloth.
6 When the news reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne,
removed his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7 Then
he had a proclamation made in Nineveh: "By the decree of the king and his
nobles: No human being or animal, no herd or flock, shall taste anything.
They shall not feed, nor shall they drink water. 8 Human beings and animals
shall be covered with sackcloth, and they shall cry mightily to God. All shall
turn from their evil ways and from the violence that is in their hands. 9 Who
knows? God may relent and change his mind; he may turn from his fierce
anger, so that we do not perish."
10
When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil ways,
God changed his mind about the calamity that he had said he would bring
upon them; and he did not do it.
Response: Hear the word of the Lord, THANKS BE TO GOD
7
Psalm 62.5-12
5 Nevertheless, my soul, wait in silence for God:
for from him comes my hope.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation:
my strong tower, so that I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my deliverance and my glory:
God is my strong rock and my shelter.
8 Trust in him at all times, O my people:
pour out your hearts before him, for God is our refuge.
9 The children of Adam are but breath, the children of earth are a lie:
place them in the scales and they fly upward, they are as light as air.
10 Put no trust in extortion, do not grow worthless by robbery:
if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11 God has spoken once, twice have I heard him say:
that power belongs to God,
12 That to the Lord belongs a constant goodness:
for you reward each one of us according to our works.
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 7.29-31
29
I mean, brothers and sisters, the appointed time has grown short;
from now on, let even those who have wives be as though they had
none, 30
and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and
those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy
as though they had no possessions, 31
and those who deal with the
world as though they had no dealings with it. For the present form of
this world is passing away.
Response: Hear the word of the Lord,
THANKS BE TO GOD

Gradual Hymn: TiS 136
1. There’s a wideness in God’s
mercy
like the wideness of the sea,
and forgiveness in his justice
sealed for us on Calvary.
2. There is plentiful redemption
in the blood that has been shed;
there is joy for all the members
in the sorrows of the Head.
3. For the love of God is broader
than the measures of our mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4. But we make his love too narrow
by false limits of our own,
and we magnify his strictness
with a zeal he will not own.
5. If our love were but more simple
we should take him at his word;
and our lives would be illumined
by the goodness of our Lord.
9
We stand for the reading of the Holy Gospel as a sign of respect as we greet
our Lord who is present in His Holy Word.
The Lord be with you
AND ALSO WITH YOU
The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Saint Mark chapter 1
beginning at the 14th
verse.
GLORY TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.
14
Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the
good news of God, 15
and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom
of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news."
16
As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his
brother Andrew casting a net into the sea--for they were fishermen. 17
And Jesus said to them, "Follow me and I will make you fish for
people." 18
And immediately they left their nets and followed him. 19
As
he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother
John, who were in their boat mending the nets. 20
Immediately he called
them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men,
and followed him.
Gospel Response: This is the gospel of the Lord,
PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.

The Nicene Creed
Let us together affirm the faith of the Church.
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.
11

{Celebrant} We are the body of Christ. His Spirit is with us.

[A greeting of peace is exchanged with those around us]
Offertory Hymn: TiS 595
1. O Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
Lord, be for ever near me,
my master and my friend:
I shall not fear the battle
if you are by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if you will be my guide.
2. Still let me feel you near me:
the world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
and tempting sounds I hear;
my foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, draw me nearer,
and shield my soul from sin.
3. O let me hear you speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will;
Lord, speak to reassure me,
to chasten or control;
O speak, and make me listen,
true guardian of my soul.
4. Lord, let me see your footmarks
and in them plant my own;
that I may follow boldly
and in your strength alone;
O guide me, call me, draw me,
uphold me to the end;
and then in heaven receive me,
my Saviour and my friend.
Offertory Prayer: Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation.
Through your goodness we have these gifts to share. Accept and use our
offerings for your glory and for the service of your kingdom.
BLESSED BE GOD FOR EVER.
