Mothering Sunday
A warm welcome to visitors who join us today. Please take
our love and prayers to your home parish.
Introduction
On Mothering Sunday we give thanks to God for our own mothers and those who have cared for us, for Mother Church and for God’s loving parenthood.
THE COLLECT
God of compassion, whose Son Jesus Christ, the child of Mary,
shared the life of a home in Nazareth, and on the cross drew the whole human family to himself: strengthen us in our daily living that in joy and in sorrow we may know the power of your presence to bind together and to heal; 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
POST-COMMUNION PRAYER
Loving God, as a mother feeds her children at the breast you feed us in this sacrament with the food and drink of eternal life: help us who have tasted your goodness to grow in grace within the household of faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
TODAY’S READINGS – (Page 830-833)
First Reading Exodus 2:1–10
God used three women’s gifts to save Moses: his mother’s faith, his sister’s intelligence and the compassion of Pharaoh’s daughter. He can use our gifts, too.
Second Reading Colossians 3: 12-17
We all know that love should be the hallmark of Christian living. Here,
Paul tells us what that love is to be like in practice.
Gospel St. John 19:25-27
In his dying moments, Jesus fulfils his family responsibilities by providing for
the welfare of his mother.

Introduction
We pray that our presence here today and all our other actions, may prove our intention to follow Jesus day by day, and will be found pleasing to God.
THE COLLECT
Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy
but first he suffered pain,
and entered not into glory before he was crucified:
mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross,
may find it none other than the way of life and peace;
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
POST-COMMUNION PRAYER
Merciful Lord, grant your people grace to withstand the temptations
of the world, the flesh and the devil,

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

SUNDAY MARCH 17th: The Second Sunday of Lent
A warm welcome to visitors who join us today. Please take
our love and prayers to your home parish.
Introduction
By God’s presence and power, we have been made citizens of God’s heavenly Kingdom. Let us worship the living God, whose life amongst us moves us to hear and heed his words, and draws us closer to home in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
THE COLLECT
Almighty God, you show to those who are in error the light of your truth, that they may return to the way of righteousness:
grant to all those who are admitted into the fellowship of Christ’s religion, that they may reject those things that are contrary to their profession, and follow all such things as are agreeable to the same;
through our Lord Jesus Christ, who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
POST-COMMUNION PRAYER
Almighty God, you see that we have no power of ourselves to help ourselves: keep us both outwardly in our bodies, and inwardly in our souls; that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
TODAY’S READINGS (Page 820-822)
First Reading Genesis 15. 1-12, 17-18
The prophetic call to Abram and to his descendants about the promised land, their future Homeland.

SUNDAY MARCH 10th : The First Sunday of Lent
A warm welcome to visitors who join us today. Please take
our love and prayers to your home parish.
Introduction
In Lent we renew our desire to fulfil God’s purposes. Let us turn to God in prayer and repent of the same human pride which crucified our Lord.
THE COLLECT
Almighty God, whose Son Jesus Christ fasted forty days in the wilderness,
and was tempted as we are, yet without sin:
give us grace to discipline ourselves in obedience to your Spirit;
and, as you know our weakness, so may we know your power to save;
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 .
POST-COMMUNION PRAYER
Lord God, you have renewed us with the living bread from heaven;
by it you nourish our faith, increase our hope, and strengthen our love:
teach us always to hunger for him who is the true and living bread,
and enable us to live by every word that proceeds from out of your mouth;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
TODAY’S READINGS (Page 816/819)
First Reading Deuteronomy 26.1-11
The ancient Israelites regularly reminded themselves of the relationship
between themselves and a loving, generous God, who had chosen to make
himself known to them. A recital of his past saving acts acknowledged that
they were constantly in his debt and must give him praise and honour.
Second Reading Romans 10.8b-13
St Paul stresses the continuity of the new revelation of God in Christ with the
covenant described in the Old Testament. Yet salvation has now become
available to all who confess their faith in the God who gives life and
overcomes death.
Gospel St. Luke 4.1-13
The human Jesus had to resist the chance to see himself as more powerful
than God: in the desert places of the Christian year, especially Lent, we must
also learn to resist, recognising the true nature of temptation.

A warm welcome to visitors who join us today. Please take our love and prayers to your home parish.
Introduction
As Jesus prayed, the disciples saw his face shine with the glory of the Lord. In our worship today, may we see the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
THE COLLECT
Almighty Father,
whose Son was revealed in majesty
before he suffered death upon the cross:
give us grace to perceive his glory,
that we may be strengthened to suffer with him
and be changed into his likeness, from glory to glory;
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
POST-COMMUNION PRAYER
O holy God,
we behold your glory in the face of Jesus Christ:
grant that we who are partakers at his table
may reflect his life in word and deed,
that all the world may know his power to change and save;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
TODAY’S READINGS (Page 807/809)
First Reading Exodus 34:29-35
Interceding with God for his rebellious people and receiving the commandments, Moses’ face radiated God’s glory. This frightened the Israelites so he wore a veil.
Second Reading 2 Corinthians 3:12-4:2
The new covenant in Christ allows us unveiled access to God, whose Spirit enables us increasingly to reflect his glory as we turn to him in confidence.
Gospel St. Luke 9:28-36
Like Moses, Jesus radiates the glory of God, but he is the Son, outshining both
Moses and Elijah, as the new covenant eclipses the Law and the Prophets.
NEWS & EVENTS

Jars will be available to collect from both churches at the beginning of Lent.
