Hymn: TiS 555

1. Put all your trust in God,

in duty’s path go on;

walk in God’s strength with faith and hope,

so shall your work be done.

Commit your ways to him,

your work into his hands,

and rest on his unchanging word,

who heaven and earth commands.

2. Though years on years roll on,

God’s covenant shall endure;

though clouds and darkness hide his path,

the promised grace is sure.

Give to the winds your fears;

hope, and be undismayed:

God hears your sighs and counts your tears;

God shall lift up your head.

3. Through waves and clouds and storms

his power will clear your way:

await his time; so shall this night

soon end in joyous day.

Leave to God’s sovereign sway

to choose and to command;

so shall you wondering own, his way

how wise, how strong his hand.

3

Greeting: The Lord be with you.

AND ALSO WITH YOU. (see Ruth 2:4)

Sentence: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never

come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Lamentations 3.22–23

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 (Kew Setting)

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.

5

Prayer of the Day

O Christ for whom we search,

our help when help has failed:

give us courage to expose our need and ask to be made whole,

that, being touched by you,

we may be raised to new life

in the power of your name. Amen.

THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD Readings from 'New Revised Standard Version' (NRSV)

First Reading: : 2 Corinthians 8:7-11 (CEV)

You do everything better than anyone else. You have stronger faith. You

speak better and know more. You are eager to give, and you love us

better. Now you must give more generously than anyone else. I am not

ordering you to do this. I am simply testing how real your love is by

comparing it with the concern that others have shown. You know that

our Lord Jesus Christ was kind enough to give up all his riches and

become poor, so that you could become rich. A year ago you were the

first ones to give, and you gave because you wanted to. So listen to my

advice. I think you should finish what you started. If you give according

to what you have, you will prove that you are as eager to give as you

were to think about giving.

Response: Hear the word of the Lord,

THANKS BE TO GOD

Psalm 130

1 Out of the depths have I called to you, O Lord:

Lord, hear my voice;

2 O let your ears consider well:

the voice of my supplication.

3 If you, Lord, should note what we do wrong:

who then, O Lord, could stand?

4 But there is forgiveness with you:

so that you shall be feared.

5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits for him:

and in his word is my hope.

6 My soul looks for the Lord:

more than watchmen for the morning, more, I say, than watchmen for

the morning.

7 O Israel, trust in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy:

and with him is ample redemption.

8 He will redeem Israel:

from the multitude of their sins.

7

Gradual Hymn: TiS 683

1. God! When human bonds are

broken

and we lack the love or skill

to restore the hope of healing,

give us grace and make us still.

2. Through that stillness, with your

Spirit

come into our world of stress,

for the sake of Christ forgiving;

all the failures we confess.

3. You in us are bruised and broken:

hear us as we seek release

from the pain of earlier living;

set us free and grant us peace.

4. Send us, God of new beginnings,

humbly hopeful into life.

Use us as a means of blessing:

make us stronger, give us faith.

5. Give us faith to be more faithful,

give us hope to be more true,

give us love to go on learning:

God! Encourage and renew!

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 5

beginning at the 24th

verse.

GLORY TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Many people followed Jesus and kept crowding around. In the crowd was a

woman who had been bleeding for twelve years. She had gone to many

doctors, and they had not done anything except cause her a lot of pain. She

had paid them all the money she had. But instead of getting better, she only

got worse. The woman had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him in

the crowd and barely touched his clothes. She had said to herself, “If I can just

touch his clothes, I will get well.” As soon as she touched them, her bleeding

stopped, and she knew she was well.

Gospel Response: This is the gospel of the Lord

PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Alleluia (sung by choir and congregation together)

TALK

Let us together affirm the faith of the Church.

We believe in God the Father

who made us and loves us.

We believe in Jesus Christ,

the Son of God,

who saves us and loves us.

We believe in the Holy Spirit,

who loves us and gives us life.

Offertory Hymn: TiS 154

1. Great is your faithfulness, O God my Father,

in you no shadow of turning we see;

you never fail and your love is unchanging:

as you have been you for ever will be.

Great is your faithfulness,

great is your faithfulness,

morning by morning new mercies we see;

all we have needed your hand has provided:

great is your faithfulness, Lord God, to me.

2. Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,

sun, moon and stars in their courses above,

join with all nature in unspoken witness

to your great faithfulness, mercy and love.

3. Pardon for sin and a peace that’s enduring,

your living presence to cheer and to guide,

strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow —

these are the blessings your love will provide.

GENERAL NOTICES

High Altar flowers today are in loving Memory of Teddy Teh from Pip.

Trading table: Today.

Birthday: Lyn Stanley (Tuesday), Elizabeth Brooker (Wednesday), Nell

Eddy (Thursday)

Closing date for Trinity Times 19 July. Please leave items in office or

email to ireneshorthouse@primus.com.au

Food Bank: The Food Bank Centre in Footscray that provides the bulk of

the emergency food for relief centres such as Anglicare's Mission House

will be closed for two weeks in early July to install new computer

systems and the training of staff. This is always a time of high demand

for food at Mission House as clients need to apply any spare cash to

paying heating bills. to help fill the gap it would be appreciated if

parishioners could increase their giving

of food (or cash in lieu) at this time or at least bring forward their normal

giving until the bulk supplies resume from Foodbank. The following

items are especially popular and in current lowish supply:

Breakfast cereal, tins of tuna, biscuits of all sorts, tea bags and pasta

sauce
