8:00am Holy Communion

The Order of Service is contained in the separate Service Book.

Collect Almighty Lord and everlasting God,

we beseech you to direct, sanctify and govern

both our hearts and bodies

in the ways of your laws

and the works of your commandments;

that through your most mighty protection, both here and ever,

we may be preserved in body and soul;

through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,

who is alive and reigns with you,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever. Amen.

First Reading – Genesis 18.1-10a*

The LORD appeared to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the entrance of

his tent in the heat of the day. He looked up and saw three men standing near him.

When he saw them, he ran from the tent entrance to meet them, and bowed down

to the ground. He said, ‘My lord, if I find favour with you, do not pass by your

servant. Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under

the tree. Let me bring a little bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and after that

you may pass on – since you have come to your servant.’ So they said, ‘Do as you

have said.’ And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, ‘Make ready

quickly three measures of choice flour, knead it, and make cakes.’ Abraham ran to

the herd, and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to the servant, who hastened

to prepare it. Then he took curds and milk and the calf that he had prepared, and set

it before them; and he stood by them under the tree while they ate. They said to

Abraham, ‘Where is your wife Sarah?’ And he said, ‘There, in the tent.’ Then one

said, ‘I will surely return to you in due season, and your wife Sarah shall have a son.

Second Reading – Colossians 1.15-28

Christ is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; for in him all

things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether

thrones or dominions or rulers or powers – all things have been created through

him and for him. He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the

dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything. For in him all the

4

fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him God was pleased to reconcile

to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the

blood of his cross. And you who were once estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil

deeds, he has now reconciled in his fleshly body through death, so as to present you

holy and blameless and irreproachable before him – provided that you continue

securely established and steadfast in the faith, without shifting from the hope

promised by the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature

under heaven. I, Paul, became a servant of this gospel. I am now rejoicing in my

sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am completing what is lacking in Christ’s

afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church. I became its servant according

to God’s commission that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully

known, the mystery that has been hidden throughout the ages and generations but

has now been revealed to his saints. To them God chose to make known how great

among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you,

the hope of glory. It is he whom we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching

everyone in all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ.

Gospel – Luke 10.38-42

Now as Jesus and his disciples went on their way, he entered a certain village, where

a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary,

who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to what he was saying. But Martha was

distracted by her many tasks; so she came to Jesus and asked, ‘Lord, do you not care

that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me.’ But

the Lord answered her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many

things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will

not be taken away from her.’

Post Communion Prayer

Strengthen for service, Lord,

the hands that have taken holy things;

may the ears which have heard your word

be deaf to clamour and dispute;

may the tongues which have sung your praise

be free from deceit;

may the eyes which have seen the tokens of your love

shine with the light of hope;

and may the bodies which have been fed with your body

be refreshed with the fullness of your life;

glory to you for ever. Amen.

and are mindful of all that we have failed to do.

For the sake of Jesus, who died for us,

forgive us for all that is past,

The Collect

Lord Jesus Christ,

we thank you that in this wonderful sacrament

you have given us the memorial of your passion:

grant us so to reverence the sacred mysteries

of your body and blood

that we may know within ourselves

and show forth in our lives

the fruits of your redemption;

for you are alive and reign with the Father

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever. Amen.

¶ We Hear God’s Word

First Reading – 1 Corinthians 11.23-26

Beloved: I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord

Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread, and when he

had given thanks, he broke it and said, ‘This is my body that is for you. Do this

in remembrance of me.’ In the same way he took the cup also, after supper,

saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you

drink it, in remembrance of me.’ For as often as you eat this bread and drink

the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

This is the word of the Lord.

All Thanks be to God.

Hymn

1. I come with joy, a child of God,

forgiven, loved, and free,

the life of Jesus to recall,

in love laid down for me.

2. I come with Christians far and near

to find, as all are fed,

the new community of love

in Christ's communion bread.

8

3. As Christ breaks bread and bids us share,

each proud division ends.

The love that made us, makes us one,

and strangers now are friends.

4. The Spirit of the risen Christ,

unseen, but ever near,

is in such friendship better known:

alive among us here.

5. Together met, together bound,

by all that God has done,

we'll go with joy, to give the world,

the love that makes us one.

Gospel Reading – John 6.51-58

Remain standing

Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.

All Glory to you, O Lord.

Jesus said to the Jews: ‘I am the living bread that came down from heaven.

Whoever eats of this bread will live for ever; and the bread that I will give for

the life of the world is my flesh.’ The Jews then disputed among themselves,

saying, ‘How can this man give us his flesh to eat?’ So Jesus said to them, ‘Very

truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood,

you have no life in you. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have

eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; for my flesh is true food

and my blood is true drink. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide

in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the

Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me. This is the bread that

came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they

died. But the one who eats this bread will live for ever.’

This is the Gospel of the Lord.

All Praise to you, O Christ.

¶ Admission to First Communion

The candidates stand before the priest with their parents, godparents or

sponsors

In Baptism we are made members of Christ’s family. As members of that

family we gather together to share in the meal which he gave us as a sign

of his living presence among us. We do this in obedience to Jesus’

command which he gave at his last supper with his friends on the night

before he died.

Today is an important stage in your Christian journey which began at

your baptism. We welcome you as you receive Communion for the first

time.

The priest addresses the children by name

Have you been baptised in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy

Spirit.

I have.

Do you wish to be admitted to Holy Communion and share regularly in

this sacrament?

I do.

The priest addresses the parents and sponsors

Will you help these children grow in faith and come to confirmation?

We will.

The priest addresses the congregation

Will you welcome these children as communicant members of Christ’s

family and support them with your friendship and prayers?

All We will.

The priest says to each child

With the permission of the Bishop of Peterborough, I welcome you to

the sacrament of Holy Communion. May God bless you as you continue

with us on your journey of faith.

Amen.

10

Profession of Faith

The president addresses the congregation

Let us affirm,

together with these who are being admitted to Holy Communion,

our common faith in Jesus Christ.

Do you believe and trust in God the Father,

source of all being and life,

the one for whom we exist?

All We believe and trust in him.

Do you believe and trust in God the Son,

who took our human nature,

died for us and rose again?


Do you believe and trust in God the Holy Spirit,

who gives life to the people of God

and makes Christ known in the world?


This the faith of the Church.

All This is our faith.

We believe and trust in one God,

Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

¶ We Pray

Prayers of Intercession

These responses may be used

Lord, in your mercy

All hear our prayer

And at the end

Merciful Father,

All accept these prayers

for the sake of your Son,

our Saviour Jesus Christ.

Amen.

11

The Peace

We are the body of Christ.

In the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body.

Let us then pursue all that makes for peace

and builds up our common life.

The peace of the Lord be always with you

All and also with you.

Let us offer one another a sign of peace.

All may exchange a sign of peace.

Offertory Hymn

1. Behold the Lamb who bears our sins away,

slain for us: and we remember

the promise made that all who come in faith

find forgiveness at the cross.

So we share in this bread of life,

and we drink of his sacrifice,

as a sign of our bonds of peace

around the table of the King.

2. The body of our Saviour, Jesus Christ,

torn for you: eat and remember

the wounds that heal, the death that brings us life,

paid the price to make us one.



as a sign of our bonds of love


3. The blood that cleanses every stain of sin,

shed for you: drink and remember

he drained death’s cup that all may enter in

to receive the life of God.



as a sign of our bonds of grace


4. And so with thankfulness and faith we rise

to respond and to remember

our call to follow in the steps of Christ

as his Body here on earth.

As we share in his suffering,

we proclaim: Christ will come again!

And we’ll join in the feast of heaven

¶ We Share in Holy Communion

Remain standing

With this bread that we bring

All We shall remember Jesus.

With this wine that we bring


Bread for his body,

Wine for his blood,

Gifts from God to his table we bring.


The Lord be with you

All and also with you.

Lift up your hearts.

All We lift them to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

All It is right to give thanks and praise.

Lord of all life, you created the universe,

where all living things reflect your glory.

You give us this great and beautiful earth,

to discover and to cherish.

And now we give you thanks

because when his hour had come,

in his great love he gave this supper to his disciples,

that we might proclaim his death,

and feast with him in his kingdom.

You made us all,

each wonderfully different,

to join with the angels

and sing your praise:

All Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,

heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest.

13

We thank you, loving Father,

because, when we turned away,

you sent Jesus, your Son.

He gave his life for us on the cross

and shows us the way to live.

Send your Holy Spirit

that these gifts of bread and wine

may be for us Christ's body and his blood.

On the night before he died,

when darkness had fallen,

Jesus took bread.

He gave thanks, broke it,

and shared it with his disciples, saying:

'This is my body, given for you.

Do this to remember me.'

After they had eaten, he took the cup of wine,

gave thanks, and shared it with his disciples, saying:

'This is my blood, poured out for you and for many,

for the forgiveness of sins.'

So Father, with this bread and this cup

we celebrate his love, his death, his risen life.

As you feed us with these gifts,

send your Holy Spirit,

and change us more and more

to be like Jesus our Saviour.

Help us, Father, to love one another,

as we look forward to that day

when suffering is ended,

and all creation is gathered in your loving arms.

And now with all your saints

we give you glory,

through Jesus Christ,

in the strength of the Spirit,

today and for ever.

All Amen.

14

The Lord’s Prayer

Sit or kneel

As our Saviour has taught us, so we pray

All Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name;

thy kingdom come;

thy will be done;

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation;

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,

the power and the glory,

for ever and ever.

Amen.

Breaking of the Bread

The president breaks the consecrated bread.

We break this bread to share in the body of Christ.

All Though we are many, we are one body,

because we all share in one bread.

Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world,

have mercy on us, have mercy on us.


have mercy on us, have mercy on us.


grant us peace, grant us peace.

Giving of Communion

The president invites all to share in communion with appropriate words.

All praise to you, our God and Father,

¶ We Go To Serve God

Final Hymn

1. Sent forth by God’s blessing, our true faith confessing,

the People of God from his dwelling take leave.

The supper is ended: O now be extended

the fruits of this service in all who believe.

The seed of his teaching, our hungry souls reaching,

shall blossom in action for God and for all.

His grace did invite us, his love shall unite us

to work for his kingdom and answer his call.

2. With praise and thanksgiving to God ever living,

the tasks of our everyday life we will face,

our faith ever sharing, in love ever caring,

rejoicing to welcome our partners in grace.

One feast that has fed us, one light that has led us,

unite us as one in his life that we share.

Then may all the living, with praise and thanksgiving,

give honour to Christ and his name that we bear.

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.

All In the name of Christ. Amen.

Anthem

In the heart where love is abiding, God is in that heart.

And the love of Christ has made us all of one heart.

Then with joyful and with glad hearts let us thank him.

Let us fear God and remember all his goodness.

Let us love each other with a pure and clean heart.

In the heart where love is abiding, God is in that heart.

May no quarrelling or dispute come between us.

Let us see your face, O Lord Christ, now, among us.

Let us sing, with all the an-gels, praise to Jesus

in a song of joy that wells up from a clean heart.

In the heart where love is abiding, God is in that heart. Amen.

Prayers and Readings

The new edition, from July to

November is now available to pick up

from Oakham Church. It gives

suggestions for daily reading and

prayer from 10th July to 12th

November 2016. You can also

download a copy from the website.

Christian Aid Week

Churches Together raised £2,800 this

year – a lower amount than last year,

but using fewer collectors. Brooke and

Langham both collected more than last

year. Christian Aid likes different ways

to raise money, and were glad that we

made almost £1,000 with our Lent

Lunches. The Methodist Church are

holding ‘Open Gardens’ for a charge.

Details for the week are still to be

published. Peter Townsend.

Faculty Applications

Oakham PCC have applied for

permissions for two projects to be

undertaken in the autumn.

A. A development of the memorial

garden on the south side of the

church: Following a generous offer

from Oakham in Bloom, it is proposed

to replant the south side garden as a

memorial space. We are grateful for all

who, up to now, have kept this area

looking so beautiful, particularly,

particularly Graham Scothern for his

recent work, and we are sure that this

new scheme will only enhance this area

of the churchyard.

B. Proposal for the replacement of the

boiler: A new boiler is proposed to be

installed in the upstairs parish office.

Public notification was displayed on

Wednesday 22 June. Parishioners

have until 20 July to lodge any

objections. More detailed plans are

available for inspection in the parish

office or on the website.

Come and Chat

Bereavement Support

Group

For the last 3 years we have been

running a Bereavement Support group

in the Parish Hall. It has been for

people of all faiths or none, for those

recently bereaved or those who are

still aching after many years.

However, particularly since Hildred

left, it has become clear that we are

not meeting people’s needs, so the

meetings on the first Thursday of the

month in the Parish Hall will now

stop. We are planning to re-launch

the service in the autumn, in a

different format. To help provide

something useful, we have drawn up a

short questionnaire to ask those who

are bereaved what would help.

If you have lost a loved one – recently

or further back, please fill in one of

the Questionnaires which will be at

the back of Oakham Church, or from

the website. Sian Cheverton.
