Collect Lord of all power and might, the author and giver of all good things: graft in our hearts the love of your name, increase in us true religion, nourish us with all goodness, and of your great mercy keep us in the same; 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.
First Reading – Isaiah 55.1-5 (page 742) Second Reading – Romans 9.1-5 (page 1135) Gospel – Matthew 14.13-21 (page 981) Post Communion Prayer Lord God, whose Son is the true vine and the source of life, ever giving himself that the world may live: may we so receive within ourselves the power of his death and passion that, in his saving cup, we may share his glory and be made perfect in his love; for he is alive and reigns, now and for ever. Amen.

The Complete Guide to the Parish Churches of Rutland Author Andrew Swift, a geologist with a passion for historical buildings, has just published a new book, The Complete Guide to the Parish Churches of Rutland. This book follows two earlier books featuring churches in Leicestershire. Andrew Swift spent two years visiting all 50 parish churches in the county researching their history in preparation for the book which consists of over 100 full colour pages. The book looks at the features, history and general design of each building plus anything else that seemed interesting to him. Andrew, who lives in Leicester, has written around 400 words on each of the churches and taken about 15 photographs of each church to illustrate his book – Braunston features on the front cover.

The forward has been contributed by Bishop Donald and is available at The Cathedral Bookshop, Walkers in Oakham and Stamford, also at Rutland County Museum and the Castle. Andrew is happy to post books directly (and sign them if desired). You can contact him on 0116 2833127. The price is £15 (plus £4 for postage if ordered directly). I sent for my book as soon as I heard about it and can recommend it as a not too technical but interesting account of our County churches. As I deliver The Friends’ posters around the 10 churches in The Oakham Team Ministry I will certainly look at each one with more interest, insight and knowledge. I have also booked Andrew to speak at a Friends’ event in 2015. Beryl Kirtland

News from a former chorister We have heard this week, through the website, from John Green, member of the choir at All Saints Oakham from 1968-72 during the incumbency of Revd A D LowryCorry and choirmastership of Derek Thomas. John is currently organist, treasurer and Deanery Synod member at St Thomas with All Saints, Bedford, Leigh in the Diocese of Manchester and recalls having to play the Merbecke Gloria as fast as possible to avoid being left behind by the congregation!
Clerical visitor Following a visit to St Andrew’s Hambleton last week we received the following message from Revd Russell Dewhurst via the ‘A Church Near You’ website: I just wanted to write and to say how good it was to worship at St Andrew's on Sunday. I was staying at the hotel in the village while going to a friend's wedding, and I really appreciated the service. The warmth and welcome were spot on, the singing-- especially for a small congregation-- was really good and easy to join in, there was a great sermon, and I found the whole service uplifting, joyful, and a real benefit. Thank you to everyone at St Andrew's for making me feel welcoming and for being just what a parish church should be. It's what the Church of England is all about! Russell is currently the incumbent at St Mary’s Ewell in Surrey.
Lee – 10 Years In September, Lee will have been at All Saints for 10 years and we would like to celebrate this with him. Any contributions for this would be greatly appreciated – please see either Margaret or Alison.
