THE
SECOND SUNDAY OF CHRISTMAS 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 our
Father, in love you sent your Son that the world may have life: lead us to seek him among the outcast and
to find him in those in need, for Jesus Christ’s sake AMEN Post
Communion: All praise to you, almighty God and
heavenly king, who sent your Son into the world to take our nature upon him
and to be born of a pure virgin: grant
that, as we are born again in him, so he may continually dwell in us and
reign on earth as he reigns in heaven, now and for ever. AMEN We pray this week within the Anglican
Communion for another year of Grace 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 Douglas Hartley,
May Kempster, Michael Taylor, Brenda Quarmby, Jenny Cracknell,
Angela Morris, Liz Baxendale, Brenda Cust, Phil
Day, Priscilla Coombs for those who have died recently: and at their anniversaries pray for: Nik Pears, Bertrand Chambers, David Jackson 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 Oakwood + The
Spinney PLEASE TAKE THIS PEW LEAFLET AWAY WITH YOU as a reminder of dates,
