 THE LAST SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY                       23 October 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:  Merciful God, teach us to be faithful in change and uncertainty, that trusting in your word and obeying your will we may enter the unfailing joy of Jesus Christ our Lord.   AMEN   
Readings: Leviticus 19:1-2, 15-18    1 Thessalonians 2:1-8    Matthew 22:34-end
Post Communion:  God of all grace, your son Jesus Christ fed the hungry with the bread of his life and the word of his kingdom:  renew your people with your heavenly grace, and in all our weakness sustain us by your true and living bread;  who is alive and reigns, now and for ever.   AMEN
