8:00am Holy Communion 10:30am Family Communion* The Order of Service is contained in the separate service booklet.
Opening Hymn* 1. O God beyond all praising, we worship you today and sing the love amazing that songs cannot repay; for we can only wonder at every gift you send, at blessings without number and mercies without end: we lift our hearts before you and wait upon your word, we honour and adore you, our great and mighty Lord.
2. Then hear, O gracious Saviour, accept the love we bring, that we who know your favour may serve you as our king; and whether our tomorrows be filled with good or ill, we’ll triumph through our sorrows and rise to bless you still: to marvel at your beauty and glory in your ways, and make a joyful duty our sacrifice of praise. Words: Michael Perry (1942-1996) Music: Thaxted, from The Planets, Gustav Holst (1874-1934) Š Mrs B Perry/Jubilate Hymns (Ancient & Modern - 743)
Collect God of compassion, whose Son Jesus Christ, the child of Mary, shared the life of a home in Nazareth, and on the cross drew the whole human family to himself: strengthen us in our daily living that in joy and in sorrow we may know the power of your presence to bind together and to heal; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Old Testament Reading – 1 Samuel 1.20-28 Hannah conceived and bore a son. She named him Samuel, for she said, ‘I have asked him of the LORD.’ The man Elkanah and all his household went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and to pay his vow. But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, ‘As soon as the child is weaned, I will bring him, that he may appear in the presence of the LORD, and remain there for ever; I will offer him as a nazirite for all time.’ Her husband Elkanah said to her, ‘Do what seems best to you, wait until you have weaned him; only - may the LORD establish his word.‘ So the woman remained and nursed her son, until she weaned him. When she had weaned him, she took him up with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine. She brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh; and the child was young. Then they slaughtered the bull, and they brought the child to Eli. And she said, ‘Oh, my lord! As you live, my lord, I am the woman who was standing here in your presence, praying to the LORD. For this child I prayed; and the LORD has granted me the petition that I made to him. Therefore I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he lives, he is given to the LORD.‘ She left him there for the LORD.
New Testament Reading – Colossians 3.12-17 As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Gradual Hymn* 1. Fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers, all those who love us, for whom we care: help and befriend them, keep and defend them, Jesus our Saviour, this is our prayer.
4
2. And for those others, fathers and mothers, children who hunger, they must be fed: we would be caring, readily sharing, one with another our daily bread.
3. Sisters and brothers, fathers and mothers, we who together offer our praise: hear our thanksgiving, God ever living, may we walk with you all of our days. Words: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b 1926) Music: Bunessan, Gaelic folk melody, arr John Barnard (b 1948) (Ancient & Modern – 136))
Gospel Reading – John 19.25-27 Standing near the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, ‘Woman, here is your son.’ Then he said to the disciple, ‘Here is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.
Offertory Hymn* All our blessings, all our joys with thankful hearts we sing, true, compassionate, loving God accept the praise we bring.
2. For fellowship and friendship we both receive and give, for those who’ve shared our journey and taught us how to live.
1. For parents and for children, for husbands, wives, and friends, for those whose care enfolds us with love that never ends.
3. For all who’ve shared our sorrow, walked with us in our pain, who’ve held our hand through darkness and showed us light again.
Words: Revd Ally Barrett, Vicar of Buckden and the Offords, St Neots (b 1975) Music: All things bright and beautiful, W H Monk (1823-1889) © A M Barrett

Communion Hymns* 1. Put peace into each other’s hands and like a treasure hold it, protect it like a candle-flame, with tenderness enfold it.
3. Put peace into each other’s hands like bread we break for sharing; look people warmly in the eye: our life is meant for caring.
2. Put peace into each other’s hands with loving expectation; be gentle in your words and ways, in touch with God’s creation.
4. Give thanks for strong–yet tender–hands, held out in trust and blessing. Where words fall short, let hands speak out, the heights of love expressing.
5. Reach out in friendship, stay with faith in touch with those around you. Put peace into each other’s hands: the Peace that sought and found you. Word: Fred Kaan (1929-2009) Music: St Columba (Erin), Petrie Collection of the Ancient Music of Ireland 1855, harmonised by Compilers of Church of Ireland Church Hymnal 1874 © 1989, 2001 Stainer & Bell Ltd (Ancient & Modeern – 566)
O Lord, my heart is not proud, nor haughty my eyes. I have not gone after things too great, nor marvels beyond me. Truly I have set my soul in silence and peace; at rest, as a child in its mother’s arms, so is my soul. Words: From Psalm 131 in The Grail Psalter Music: Margaret Rizza (b 1929) © 1963 The Grail (England) (Ancient & Modern – 843)
Post Communion Prayer Loving God, as a mother feeds her children at the breast you feed us in this sacrament with the food and drink of eternal life: help us who have tasted your goodness to grow in grace within the household of faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
