INTRODUCTION
We give thanks for our individuality but also thank God for our families and friends and the joys of love and marriage.
COLLECT FOR THE 19th SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY
O God, forasmuch as without you we are not able to please you;
mercifully grant that your Holy Spirit
may in all things direct and rule our hearts;
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.
READINGS FOR TODAY (Page 688/9)
First Reading Genesis 2: 18 – 24
God designs human beings to be social creatures, not isolated individuals. They are made to live in harmony with each other, with the rest of the created world, and with God.
Second Reading Hebrews 1: 1 – 4; 2: 5 – 12
Jesus is the perfect reflection of God, showing us what we human beings were designed for. By sharing our lives and our suffering, Jesus opens up the way for us to share in his glory.
Gospel St. Mark 10: 2 – 16
Jesus’ teaching on divorce and on the value of children puts them in the context of God’s purposes in creating human beings.
POST-COMMUNION PRAYER
Holy and blessed God, you have fed us with the body and blood of your Son
and filled us with your Holy Spirit:
may we honour you, not only with our lips but in lives
dedicated to the service of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 16th 2018
A warm welcome to visitors who join us today. Please take our love and prayers to your home parish.
INTRODUCTION
In this Eucharist we come together to listen and learn again the nature of God, not to tell Him what we want but to receive what He offers us.
COLLECT FOR THE 16th SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY
O Lord, we beseech you mercifully to hear the prayers
of your people who call upon you;
and grant that they may both perceive and know what things they ought to do, and also may have grace and power faithfully to fulfil them;
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.
READINGS FOR TODAY – Proper 19 (Lectionary Page 671/673)
First Reading Isaiah 50: 4-9a
The prophet knows that he really is teaching what he has learned from God, even though everyone around him despises and disregards him.
Second Reading James 3: 1-12
This is a solemn warning about the dangers of careless and unkind speech. Anyone who talks, whether to teach or to gossip, will be held responsible for the outcome of their words.
Gospel St. Mark 8: 27-end
The disciples say what other people think about Jesus, but harder to say who they think he is, and harder still to allow him to teach them the meaning of his vocation.
POST-COMMUNION PRAYER
Almighty God, you have taught us through your Son
that love is the fulfilling of the law:
grant that we may love you with our whole heart
and our neighbours as ourselves;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

INTRODUCTION
In his ministry Jesus displays love and compassion. We who have put our faith in him must try and follow that example as we receive his pardon and peace.
THE COLLECT
God, who in generous mercy sent the Holy Spirit
upon your Church in the burning fire of your love:
grant that your people may be fervent in the fellowship of the gospel
that, always abiding in you,
they may be found steadfast in faith and active in service;
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
THE READINGS (Lectionary Page 665/666)
First Reading Isaiah 35:4-7a
As God will punish the wicked, so he will reward his chosen. His reign will bring blessings of plenty, of joy and health.
Second Reading James 2:1-10, 14-17
Readings from the letter of James relate our faith to how we behave. If we claim to be Christians our faith should be demonstrated in the way we treat others – especially the poor.
Gospel St. Mark 7:24-37
Mark’s Gospel turns to a new phase of Jesus’ ministry – his going to Gentiles. We find this perfectly natural, but the difficulties it posed for the Jews of the early Church are evident in this story.
POST COMMUNION PRAYER
Keep, O Lord, your Church, with your perpetual mercy; and, because without you our human frailty cannot but fall, keep us ever by your help from all things hurtful, and lead us to all things profitable to our salvation;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

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.
THE READINGS (Lectionary Page 660/661 – Proper 17)
First Reading Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 6-9
Moses calls on the Israelites to respond to God’s love by obeying his commandments: this mutual relationship will bring them to the Promised Land.
Second Reading James 1:17-end
God’s call is to obey the fundamental law. A living relationship with God delivers us from the slavery of sin. We put this into practice by helping others.
Gospel St. Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23
When they censure his disciples for neglecting rituals, Jesus reminds the Pharisees of the basis of God’s law: to honour him with our hearts.
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

NEW BISHOP OF TRURO – It was announced on Thursday that the new Bishop of Truro will be the Revd Canon Philip Mounstephen who will be the 16th Bishop of Truro. He will be consecrated Bishop later this year and a service in Truro Cathedral to welcome him as Bishop will take place early in 2019.
WELCOME TO FR STEPHEN HOLMES – This coming week we look forward to welcoming Fr. Stephen Holmes and his wife Izzy to Padstow, to take up his new post as Rector of the United Benefice.
As a gesture to welcome them to the Benefice we would like to make up some welcome boxes from the Parishes. These could contain items such as Jams, chutneys, biscuits, tinned produce, wine, local ale, toiletries etc., welcome them to the Benefice. (I know Kirsten was extremely appreciative of her welcome box when she moved to her Parish). If you would like to donate something to this, please give your donations to your churchwardens, or drop them into me at the Benefice office. We will then make up a box and drop it to them.
We look forward to meeting Fr Stephen and Izzy very soon.
