THE
PARISH OF BERKHAMSTED St
Peter’s with All Saints’ |
ST PETER, THE APOSTLE 29 June 2003
Eucharistic
Prayer F or G may be used at Holy Communion Services today
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 Almighty God, who inspired your apostle Saint Peter to confess Jesus as Christ and Son of the living God: build up your Church upon this rock, that in unity and peace it may proclaim one truth and follow one Lord, your Son our saviour Christ, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. AMEN
Readings: Ezekiel 3.22-end 1 Peter 2.19-25
Matthew 16.13-19
Post Communion: 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
We pray this week
for Christopher our Bishop and for Christopher and
Richard his suffragans
for
Freddie James Whale being baptised today at All Saints’ and for his parents and
godparents
for
the lonely, the anxious, the bereaved; and
amongst the sick for Judith Hill, Jim Lawrenson, Brenda Quarmby, Michael
Taylor, Susanne Kirkby, Muriel Norman, Christina Billington
for
those who have died recently:
and
at their anniversaries pray for: Pamela
Dewar, Henry Green
We give
thanks for our communion with all the Saints, especially the Blessed Virgin
Mary and St Peter our patron.
At All Saints’ the weekly
prayers are for everyone who lives in Castle Gateway
PLEASE TAKE THIS PEW LEAFLET AWAY WITH YOU as a reminder of dates, subjects for prayer
