 THE FIFTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY           4 September 2005

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:  Lord God, defend your Church from all false teaching and give to your people knowledge of your truth, that we may enjoy eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.   AMEN

Readings:  Ezekiel 33:7-11        Romans 13:8-end        Matthew 18:15-20

Post Communion:  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

We pray this week
