We welcome all who
worship here today. If you are a
newcomer please speak to one of the welcomers or to one of the clergy. We invite you to complete a card which you
will find in your pew, or on the table near the door of the church, and hand it
to one of the welcomers. Communicant
members of all Churches are welcome to receive Holy Communion. If you are not receiving Communion please
come to the altar rail for a blessing and carry a book so the minister knows.
Collect: Risen Christ, you filled your disciples with boldness and fresh hope: strengthen us also to proclaim your risen life and fill us with your peace, to the glory of God the Father. AMEN
Readings: Acts
3.12-19 1 John 3.1-7 Luke 24.36b-48
Post
Communion: Living God, your Son made
himself known to his disciples in the breaking of bread: open the eyes of our faith, that we may see
him in all his redeeming work; who is
alive and reigns, now and for ever.
AMEN
We pray this week
for Christopher our
Bishop and for Christopher and Richard his suffragans
for the Centre for the elderly at Gossoms End, for
the Hospice of St Francis and for the Iain Rennie Hospice at home, for those
who need care and for those who provide care in many ways.

who are being baptised today at All Saints’ and for their parents and
godparents.
for Emma Bailey, Charlotte Beaumont, Rachael Dell,
