Our service begins with clergy at the back of the church,
the congregation standing as the following is read:
Holy Week begins today on a note of triumph. The crowds on the
very first Palm Sunday welcomed Jesus enthusiastically with hymns of
joy. We also know that their cry changed in the days following as events
led to the death and resurrection of Jesus.
We begin today by recalling Jesus’ coming to the Holy City of Jerusalem,
as recorded in the 12th
Chapter of John’s Gospel:
12
The next day a large crowd was in Jerusalem for Passover. When they
heard that Jesus was coming for the festival, 13
they took palm branches
and went out to greet him. They shouted, "Hooray! God bless the one
who comes
in the name of the Lord!
God bless the King
of Israel!"
14
Jesus found a donkey and rode on it, just as the Scriptures say,
15
"People of Jerusalem,
don't be afraid!
Your King is now coming,
and he is riding
on a donkey."
16
At first, Jesus' disciples did not understand. But after he had been
given his glory, they remembered all this. Everything had happened
exactly as the Scriptures said it would.

Hymn: TiS 244
1. Trotting, trotting through Jerusalem,
Jesus sitting on a donkey’s back,
children waving branches, singing:
‘Happy is he that comes in the name of the Lord!’
2. Many people in Jerusalem
thought he should have come on a mighty horse
leading all the Jews to battle:
‘Happy is he that comes in the name of the Lord!’
3. Many people in Jerusalem
were amazed to see such a quiet man
trotting, trotting on a donkey:
‘Happy is he that comes in the name of the Lord!’
4. Trotting, trotting through Jerusalem,
Jesus sitting on a donkey’s back;
let us join the children singing:
‘Happy is he that comes in the name of the Lord!’
Eric James Reid
1936–70

Greeting: The Lord be with you.
AND ALSO WITH YOU. (see Ruth 2:4)

Sentence: At the name of Jesus, every knee shall bend, in heaven and on
earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is
Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2.10-11
Prayer of Preparation:
As we gather as God's people let us pray together:
God of love and peace, you know what we think and feel.
Touch our hearts that our thoughts and actions may be good so that we
may love you and honour you, through Jesus 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
Let us confess our sins in penitence and faith, confident in God's
forgiveness.
God of mercy and grace,
we have sometimes thought wrong things,
and done wrong things and
we have not always loved each other as we should.
We are sorry.
Forgive us and help us to love and obey you ,
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.
Prayer of the Day
Everlasting God,
in your tender love for the human race
you sent your Son to take our nature,
and to suffer death upon the cross:
in your mercy
enable us to share in his obedience to your will
and in the glorious victory of his resurrection;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen

THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD Readings from CEV
First Reading: Phillipians 2:8-11
8Christ was humble. He obeyed God and even died on a cross.
9Then God gave Christ the highest place and honored his name
above all others. 10
So at the name of Jesus everyone will bow down, those in heaven, on
earth, and under the earth. 11
And to the glory of God the Father everyone will openly agree,
"Jesus Christ is Lord!"
Response: Hear the word of the Lord,
THANKS BE TO GOD
Psalm 31:9, 16-18
Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble:
my eye wastes away for grief, my throat also and my inward parts.
But in you, Lord, have I put my trust:
I have said ‘You are my God.’
All my days are in your hand:
O deliver me from the power of my enemies and from my persecutors.
Make your face to shine upon your servant:
and save me for your mercy’s sake.

Gradual Hymn: TiS 348
1. Ride on, ride on in majesty;
hark, all the tribes hosanna cry!
O Saviour, meek, pursue your road
with palms and scattered
garments strowed.
2. Ride on, ride on in majesty,
in lowly pomp ride on to die;
O Christ, your triumphs now begin
o’er captive death and conquered
sin.
3. Ride on, ride on in majesty;
the wingèd squadrons of the sky
look down with sad and
wondering eyes
to see the approaching sacrifice.
4. Ride on, ride on in majesty;
your last and fiercest strife is nigh;
the Father on his sapphire throne
awaits his own anointed Son.
5. Ride on, ride on in majesty,
in lowly pomp ride on to die;
bow your meek head to mortal
pain,
then take, O God, your power and
reign!

1791–1868 alt.

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 14
beginning at the 22nd
verse.
GLORY TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.
22
During the meal Jesus took some bread in his hands. He blessed the
bread and broke it. Then he gave it to his disciples and said, "Take this. It
is my body."
23
Jesus picked up a cup of wine and gave thanks to God. He gave it to
his disciples, and they all drank some. 24
Then he said, "This is my blood,
which is poured out for many people, and with it God makes his
agreement. 25
From now on I will not drink any wine, until I drink new
wine in God's kingdom."26
Then they sang a hymn and went out to the
Mount of Olives.
27
Jesus said to his disciples, "All of you will reject me, as the Scriptures
say,
`I will strike down
the shepherd,
and the sheep
will be scattered.'
28
But after I am raised to life, I will go ahead of you to Galilee."
29
Peter spoke up, "Even if all the others reject you, I never will!"
30
Jesus replied, "This very night before a rooster crows twice, you will
say three times that you don't know me."
31
But Peter was so sure of himself that he said, "Even if I have to die
with you, I will never say that I don't know you!"
All the others said the same thing.
Gospel Response: This is the gospel of the Lord
PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.

THE BAPTISM
When Jesus had risen from the dead, he commanded his followers to go
and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. We have come together today in
obedience to that command. In baptism, we are joined to Christ, and made
members of his Church.
Baptism of children is a celebration of new life and the promise of
eternal life, and an acknowledgement of their need for care and protection.
While we focus on the grace of God given to those who are baptized, we
also acknowledge that spiritual growth depends on parents and godparents,
and the wider circle of family and friends, who are the examples and
influence that mould a child’s character. In this service of baptism we bring
Harry and Amelia into God’s presence that they may be enfolded in the grace
of the Holy Spirit.
Parents and Godparents who bring children for baptism must express
their own trust and commitment to the promises of God, and their intention
to bring up the children in the faith and practice of the Church.
The Baptism party gather around the font.
The parents and godparents are asked the questions:
Q/ Before God and this congregation, you must affirm your belief in God
and so I ask: Do you Believe in God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit?
A/ I do.
Q/ Will you accept the responsibilities placed upon you in bringing Harry
and Amelia for baptism?
A/ I will.
Q/ By your prayers and example, by your friendship and love, will you
encourage them in the life and faith of the Christian community?
A/ I will.
Q/ As your life will be an example to Harry and Amelia, will you turn
away from evil thoughts, words and actions?
A/ I will.
Q/ Will you affirm Christian values, especially those of honesty,
compassion and mercy? A/ I will.
12
Priest to the congregation: You have heard our brothers and sisters
respond to Christ. Will you support them in this calling?
ALL: WE WILL.
Priest: Almighty God lead you in the light of Christ to his everlasting
kingdom. AMEN.
Prayers and Blessing of the water
[Let us pray:] Grant, merciful God, that Harry and Amelia may be so
united with Christ in baptism that your new nature may be raised up in
them where the fruit of your Spirit may grow and flourish. Give to family
and friends the desire to share what you have revealed in your Holy
Gospel.
We give you thanks that at the beginning of creation your Holy
Spirit moved upon the waters to bring forth light and life. With water
you cleanse and replenish the earth; and through the waters of the Red
Sea you led your people by Moses out of slavery into freedom, and
brought them through the river Jordan into the land of promise. We give
you thanks for your Son, Jesus Christ: for his baptism by John, for his
anointing in the Holy Spirit, and that through the deep waters of death
Jesus delivered us from our sins and was raised to new life in triumph.
We give you thanks for the grace of the Holy Spirit who leads us to your
kingdom.
And now we give you thanks that you have called Harry Christopher
McShane and Amelia Jean McShane to new birth in your Church through
the waters of baptism.
+ Pour out your Holy Spirit in blessing and sanctify this water
so that all who are baptized may be made one with Christ in his death
and resurrection, through Jesus Christ our Lord, AMEN.
13
An affirmation of faith
Priest: I ask the congregation to join with the parents and godparents in
affirming the faith of the church.
Do you believe in God the Father?
A/: I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
Do you believe in God the Son?
A/: I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was
conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under
Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the
dead. On the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into
heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father; from there he will
come to judge the living and the dead.
Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit?
A/: I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion
of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the
life everlasting. AMEN.
The baptism
Priest: Harry Christopher / Amelia Jean, I baptize you in the name of the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, AMEN.
I sign you with the sign of the cross to show that you are marked as
Christ’s own forever.
(Oil that has been blessed by a bishop is used in anointing to symbolize
being chosen in God, as were the priests and prophets of the Old
Testament, and the New Testament understanding that we are all
anointed in the Spirit through belief in Christ.)
14
Live as a disciple of Christ; fight the good fight, finish the race,
keep the faith.
ALL: Confess Christ crucified, proclaim his resurrection, look for his
coming in glory.
Priest: God has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.
ALL: Shine as a light in the world to the glory of God the Father.
Priest: God has called you into his church.
ALL: We therefore receive and welcome you as a member with us of
the body of Christ, as a child of the one heavenly Father, and as an
inheritor of the kingdom of God.
Prayers for the child, parents and godparents
Merciful God, in your infinite love you have made a new
covenant with us in Jesus Christ, promising to be our God and the God of
our children. Enable all who are baptised in your name to live as your
faithful people.
Fulfil your promises for Harry and Amelia, we pray, and grant
that they may grow in your faith and service.
We pray for Jackie and Richard, that in your Spirit of wisdom,
their family may grow in your love, and their home share in the joy of
your eternal kingdom.
And we pray for Harry’s and Amelia’s godparents, Belinda &
Andrew and Camille & Christopher; enable them to share with their
godchildren what you have revealed to us of your love in your holy
gospel. We ask this in the name of our Saviour Jesus Christ, AMEN.
THE GREETING OF PEACE (all stand)
{Celebrant} We are the body of Christ.
His Spirit is with us.
The peace of the Lord be always with you.
And also with you.
[A greeting of peace is exchanged with those around us]

Offertory Hymn: TiS 658
1. I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin
my hand will save.
I who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?
Here I am, Lord;
is it I, Lord?
I have heard you
calling in the night;
I will go, Lord,
if you lead me.
I will hold your
people in my heart.
2. I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have borne my people’s pain;
I have wept for love of them.
They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone,
give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak my word to them.
Whom shall I send?
Here I am, Lord...
3. I, the Lord of wind and flame,
I will tend the poor and lame,
I will set a feast for them.
My hand will save.
Finest bread I will provide
till their hearts are satisfied.
I will give my life to them.
Whom shall I send?
Here I am, Lord...

Final Hymn: TiS 545
1. Shout for joy! The Lord has let us feast;
Heaven’s own fare has fed the last and least;
Christ’s own peace is shared again on earth;
God the Spirit fills us with new worth.
2. No more doubting, no more senseless dread:
God’s good self has graced our wine and bread;
all the wonder heaven has kept in store.
now is ours to keep for evermore.
3. Celebrate with saints who dine on high,
witnesses that love can never die.
‘Hallelujah!’— thus their voices ring:
nothing less in gratitude we bring.
4. Praise the Maker, praise the Maker’s Son,
praise the Spirit — three yet ever one;
praise the God whose food and friends avow
heav’n starts here! The kingdom beckons now!
