Collect

Almighty God,

whose only Son has opened for us

a new and living way into your presence:

give us pure hearts and steadfast wills

to worship you in spirit and in truth;

through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,

who is alive and reigns with you,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever. Amen.

First Reading – Isaiah 35.4-7a

Say to those who are of a fearful heart, ‘Be strong, do not fear! Here is your God.

He will come with vengeance, with terrible recompense. He will come and save you.’

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped; 6then

the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the speechless sing for joy. For

waters shall break forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert; the burning

sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water.

Second Reading – James 2.1-10,14-17

My brothers and sisters, do you with your acts of favouritism really believe in our

glorious Lord Jesus Christ? For if a person with gold rings and in fine clothes comes

into your assembly, and if a poor person in dirty clothes also comes in, and if you

take notice of the one wearing the fine clothes and say, ‘Have a seat here, please,’

while to the one who is poor you say, ‘Stand there,’ or, ‘Sit at my feet,’ have you not

made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? Listen,

my beloved brothers and sisters. Has not God chosen the poor in the world to be

rich in faith and to be heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love

him? But you have dishonoured the poor. Is it not the rich who oppress you? Is it

not they who drag you into court? Is it not they who blaspheme the excellent name

that was invoked over you? You do well if you really fulfil the royal law according to

the scripture, ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ But if you show partiality,

you commit sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever keeps

the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it. What good

is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works? Can

faith save you? If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says

to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,’ and yet you do not supply their

bodily needs, what is the good of that? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

Gospel – Mark 7.24-37

Jesus set out and went away to the region of Tyre. He entered a house and did not

want anyone to know he was there. Yet he could not escape notice, but a woman

whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately heard about him, and she

came and bowed down at his feet. Now the woman was a Gentile, of Syrophoenician

origin. She begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. He said to her, ‘Let

the children be fed first, for it is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to

the dogs.’ But she answered him, ‘Sir, even the dogs under the table eat the

children’s crumbs.’ Then he said to her, ‘For saying that, you may go – the demon

has left your daughter.’ So she went home, found the child lying on the bed, and the

demon gone. Then he returned from the region of Tyre, and went by way of Sidon

towards the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis. They brought to him a

deaf man who had an impediment in his speech; and they begged him to lay his hand

on him. He took him aside in private, away from the crowd, and put his fingers into

his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue. Then looking up to heaven, he sighed

and said to him, ‘Ephphatha,’ that is, ‘Be opened.’ And immediately his ears were

opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. Then Jesus ordered them to

tell no one; but the more he ordered them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.

They were astounded beyond measure, saying, ‘He has done everything well; he even

makes the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.’

Post Communion Prayer

Lord God, the source of truth and love,

keep us faithful to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship,

united in prayer and the breaking of bread,

and one in joy and simplicity of heart,

in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

most welcome: simply phone Diana

Ellard on 07779 413889. If all goes

well there we will extend to sessions

not in a Care Home.

Thankyou from

Debbie Marsh

At my first baptism on Thursday 6

August, it was very special to be using

the shell given to me by Oakham, and

I would like to thank everyone and as

you will see from the photograph it is

being put to good use! I baptised two

young women (half sisters) who

developed a connection with church

through the toddler group. One of

them is now wanting to have her baby

baptised and wants her sister to be a

godmother but neither of them had

been baptised themselves. It was such

a privilege to do and despite having

been at many baptisms I was amazed

at how different it felt to actually be

the one saying the words... I have

since baptised an adorable 10 month

old last Sunday week, again an amazing

privilege as there were about 50

people most of whom have no

connection with church. Hope all is

well and if you're at Bouverie or in

Northampton for any reason please

call and see us. Best wishes, Debbie.

Médecins Sans

Frontières

A big thank-you to all who bought

from and brought to the stall on 8

August, which raised £137.77,

including a collection for Water Aid,

in support of the crisis in Nepal.

Yvette Nicolle-Anderiesz.
