THE COLLECT AND READINGS THE COLLECT O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as He is pure; that, when He comes again with power and great glory, we may be made like Him in His eternal and glorious kingdom; where He lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. THE LESSON A Reading from the Word of God written in the First Book of the Kings Chapter 17 beginning at the 8th verse Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah, "Arise, go to Zar'ephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to feed you." So he arose and went to Zar'ephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks; and he called to her and said, "Bring me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink." And as she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, "Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand." And she said, "As the LORD your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of meal in a jar, and a little oil in a cruse; and now, I am gathering a couple of sticks, that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die." And Eli'jah said to her, "Fear not; go and do as you have said; but first make me a
!3
little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterward make for yourself and your son. For thus says the LORD the God of Israel, `The jar of meal shall not be spent, and the cruse of oil shall not fail, until the day that the LORD sends rain upon the earth.'" And she went and did as Eli'jah said; and she, and he, and her household ate for many days. The jar of meal was not spent, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD which he spoke by Eli'jah. Reader: ALL:
Here ends the Reading. Thanks be to God.
PSALM 146 Lauda, anima mea. 1.Hallelujah! Praise the Lord, O my soul!* I will praise the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. 2.Put not your trust in rulers, nor in any child of earth, * for there is no help in them. 3.When they breathe their last, they return to earth, * and in that day their thoughts perish. 4.Happy are they who have the God of Jacob for their help!* whose hope is in the Lord their God. 5.Who made heaven and earth, the seas, and all that is in them; * who keeps his promise for ever; 6.Who gives justice to those who areoppressed, * and food to those who hunger. 7.The Lord sets the prisoners free; the Lord opens the eyes of the blind;* the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down; 8.The Lord loves the righteous; the Lord
!4
cares for the stranger; * he sustains the orphan and widow, but frustrates the way of the wicked. 9.The Lord shall reign for ever,* your God, O Zion, throughout all generations. Hallelujah! Glory to the Father, and to the Son;*and to the Holy Spirit; As it was in the beginning is now:*and shall be forever. Amen. THE EPISTLE A Reading from the Word of God written in the Letter to the Hebrews Chapter 9 beginning at the 24th verse Christ has entered, not into a sanctuary made with hands, a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the Holy Place yearly with blood not his own; for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the age to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. Reader: All:
Here ends the Reading Thanks be to God.

THE HOLY GOSPEL The Lord be with you. And also with you A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark Glory to Christ our Saviour. At that time in his teaching Jesus said, "Beware of the scribes, who like to go about in long robes, and to have salutations in the market places and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honour at feasts, who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation." And he sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the multitude putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. And a poor widow came, and put in two copper coins, which make a penny. And he called his disciples to him, and said to them, "Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. For they all contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, her whole living." The Gospel of Christ Praise to Christ our Lord. From the Rector’s Notebook Greetings: Today is Remembrance Sunday. It is a time when we in Barbados along with the other countries of the Commonwealth pause to remember those who sacrificed themselves to preserve the freedoms to which we have become accustomed. The National Service of Remembrance held at The Cenotaph in National Heroes’ Square, Bridgetown this morning ensures that no-one is forgotten as the nation honours all who have suffered or died in war.

Each year we are deeply touched as we witness the participation of the veterans in the Remembrance Sunday Parade. During the month of October we would have made donations and respectively received a poppy. The funds donated go towards the veterans as we seek to enable them to live their lives as comfortably as possible. The poppy has become a powerful symbol of remembrance. According to the website of the British Legion, Canadian doctor, Lt Col John McCrae in the spring of 1915, was inspired by the sight of poppies growing in battle fields, to write a now famous poem called 'In Flanders Fields’. McCrae’s poem in turn inspired an American academic, Moina Michael to make and sell red silk poppies which were then taken to the United Kingdom and became an excellent source of both fund raising and remembering. The poem itself is a stark reminder of the horror of war, the first verse goes:In Flanders' fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place: and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. Our remembrance ought to be self implicating and should remind us that human beings must learn to live in peace and harmony with each other. This was the vision of the prophets of the Old Testament as they anticipated the time when
!7
. . . they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. (Isaiah 2:4, Joel 3:10, Micah 4:3) The church on earth continues to pray for peace in the hearts of all and in the world. Your friend and priest, Noel A.

Poem by Robert Laurence Binyon (1869-1943), published in The Times newspaper on 21st September 1914.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

HEALTH CORNER by Dr. Sophia Marshall It's Movember! Therefore we will turn our attention to the men and the health challenges that they face. By the way, it's not too late to take the challenge and grow your moustache! The challenge was to raise funds by starting the month clean shaven, then growing and grooming your moustache until November 30. All proceeds will be forwarded to the Barbados Cancer Society (BCS) in support of their efforts. Did you know that 100 men die from Prostate Cancer in Barbados annually? Early detection is critical and the BCS offers diagnostic tests at a significantly subsidized rate as well as offers support to those battling with the disease. It's a worthy cause and imagine how handsome you will look with a nicely groomed moustache! Now this week we will examine the prostate gland and its role. The prostate is a gland found only in males. It is about the size of a walnut in younger men but gets much larger in older men. The prostate gland is located just below a man's bladder and surrounds the top portion of the urethra, the tube that drains urine from the bladder. The primary function of the prostate is to produce fluid in semen. This fluid nourishes and protects the sperm.
