THE FIRST READING: READER:
A Reading from the Word of God written in the book of Deuteronomy Chapter 30 beginning at the 15th verse.
See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, death and adversity. If you obey the commandments of the LORD your God that I am commanding you today, by loving the LORD your God, walking in his ways, and observing his commandments, decrees, and ordinances, then you shall live and become numerous, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to possess. But if your heart turns away and you do not hear, but are led astray to bow down to other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you shall perish; you shall not live long in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess. I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live, loving the LORD your God, obeying him, and holding fast to him; for that means life to you and length of days, so that you may live in the land that the LORD swore to give to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. !3
Reader: ALL:
Here ends the Reading Thanks be to God.
Psalm 119:1-8

THE EPISTLE READER:
A Reading from Paul’s 1st letter to the Corinthians Chapter 3 beginning at the 1st verse.
And so, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but rather as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for solid food. Even now you are still not ready, for you are still of the flesh. For as long as there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving according to human inclinations? For when one says, "I belong to Paul," and another, "I belong to Apollos," are you not merely human? What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you came to believe, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. The one who plants and the one who waters have a common purpose, and each will receive wages according to the labor of each. For we are God's servants, working together; you are God's field, God's building. Reader: ALL:
Here ends the Reading Thanks be to God.
THE HOLY GOSPEL The Lord be with you. And also with you. !4
A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew Glory to Christ our Saviour. Jesus said "You have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, 'You shall not murder'; and 'whoever murders shall be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that if you are angry with a brother or sister, you will be liable to judgment; and if you insult a brother or sister, you will be liable to the council; and if you say, 'You fool,' you will be liable to the hell of fire. So when you are offering your gift at the altar, if you remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother or sister, and then come and offer your gift. Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are on the way to court with him, or your accuser may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Truly I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny. "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to go into hell. "It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I say to you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. "Again, you have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, 'You shall not !5
swear falsely, but carry out the vows you have made to the Lord.’ But I say to you, Do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. Let your word be 'Yes, Yes' or 'No, No'; anything more than this comes from the evil one. The Gospel of Christ Praise to Christ our Lord.

HEALTH CORNER BY SOPHIA MARSHALL, PH.D Recently a young man was heard asking if ‘HIV still about the place?’ This question was quite troubling and therefore this week, we will turn our focus to some facts about HIV/ AIDS. According to the World Health Organisation: •
HIV infects cells of the immune system and compromises the body’s ability to fight off infections and other diseases.
•
AIDS (Acquired immune deficiency syndrome) refers to the most advanced stages of HIV infection.
•
HIV can be transmitted through: -
unprotected sexual intercourse (vaginal or anal) or oral sex with an infected person;
-
transfusions of contaminated blood or blood products or transplantation of contaminated tissue;
-
the sharing of contaminated injecting equipment and solutions (needles, syringes) or tattooing equipment;
-
through the use of contaminated surgical equipment and other sharp instruments;
-
the transmission between a mother and her baby during pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding.
•
An estimated 1.8 million children are living with HIV. 36.7 million people are living with HIV worldwide.
•
Elimination of mother-to-child-transmission is becoming a reality
