news for pews

ALL SAINTS’ DAY 2 November 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: God of holiness, your glory is proclaimed in every age: as we rejoice in the faith of your saints, inspire us to follow their example with boldness and joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN

Readings: Isaiah 56 3-8 Hebrews 12.18-24 Matthew 5.1-12

Post Communion: God, the source of all holiness and giver of all good things: may we who have shared at this table as strangers and pilgrims here on earth be welcomed with all your saints to the heavenly feast on the day of your kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord 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

for the lonely, the anxious, the bereaved; and amongst the sick for Judith Hill, Jenny Luckhurst, Michael Taylor, Jim Lawrenson, Brenda Quarmby, Ann Gibb, Pat Large, Basil Jones, Audrey Conway

for those who have died recently:

and at their anniversaries pray for: Tony Tame, Paula Newman, Gordon King, Bessie Gascoigne, John Miller

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 on the South side of Shrublands Road
