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:  Gracious Father, by the obedience of Jesus you brought salvation to our wayward world:  draw us into harmony with your will, that we may find all things restored in him, our Saviour Jesus Christ   AMEN

All Saints’  Readings:  Isaiah 66:10-14     Luke 10:1-11,16-20

Post Communion:  Eternal God, comfort of the afflicted and healer of the broken, you have fed us at the table of life and hope:  teach us the ways of gentleness and peace, that all the world may acknowledge the kingdom of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord.    AMEN

We pray this week
