The Greeting The Lord be with you and also with you.

The Presentation of the Lammas Loaf Brothers and sisters in Christ, the people of God in ancient times presented to the Lord an offering of first-fruits as a sign of their dependence upon God for their daily bread. At this Lammastide, we bring a newly baked loaf as our offering in thanksgiving to God for his faithfulness. Jesus said, ‘I am the bread of life; those who come to me shall never be hungry, and those who believe in me shall never thirst.’

The Lammas loaf is brought to the president. Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation; you bring forth bread from the fields and give us the fruits of the earth in their seasons. Accept this loaf, which we bring before you, made from the harvest of your goodness. Let it be for us a sign of your fatherly care. Blessed are you, Lord our God, worthy of our thanksgiving and praise. Blessed be God for ever.

Confession As those who know the generosity of God, let us confess our sins, especially the ways in which we take his good gifts for granted. Lord, you give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our trespasses. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Lord, you give us this day our daily bread. Let us not be led into temptation. Christ, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, you give us this day our daily bread. Deliver us from evil. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Almighty God, who forgives all who truly repent, have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and keep you in life eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

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.

Gradual Hymn 1. Break thou the bread of life, dear Lord, to me, as thou didst break the loaves beside the sea: beyond the sacred page I seek thee, Lord; my spirit pants for thee, O living Word!

3. O send thy Spirit, Lord, now unto me, that he may touch my eyes, and make me see: show me the truth concealed within thy word, and in thy book revealed I see thee, Lord.

2. Thou art the bread of life, O Lord, to me, thy holy word the truth that saveth me. Give me to eat and live with thee above; teach me to love thy truth, for thou art love.

4. Bless thou the truth, dear Lord, to me, to me, as thou didst bless the bread by Galilee: then shall all bondage cease, all fetters fall, and I shall find my peace, my all in all!

The Liturgy of the Word Reading – Matthew 14:13-21

Feeding the Five Thousand Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns. When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them and cured their sick. When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late; send the crowds away so that they may go

into the villages and buy food for themselves.” Jesus said to them, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” They replied, “We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish.” And he said, “Bring them here to me.” Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Sermon Living beyond your means

Creed Let us declare our faith in God. We believe in God the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named. We believe in God the Son, who lives in our hearts through faith, and fills us with his love. We believe in God the Holy Spirit, who strengthens us with power from on high. We believe in one God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

The Liturgy of the Sacrament The Peace

Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness. The peace of the Lord be always with you. And also with you.

Offertory Hymn 1. Restore, O Lord, the honour of your name, in works of sovereign power come shake the earth again, that all may see, and come with reverent fear to the living God, whose kingdom shall outlast the years.

3. Bend us, O Lord, where we are hard and cold, in your refiner’s fire: come purify the gold. Though suffering comes and evil crouches near, still our living God is reigning, he is reigning here.

2. Restore, O Lord, in all the earth your fame, and in our time revive the church that bears your name. And in your anger, Lord, remember mercy, O living God, whose mercy shall outlast the years.

4. Restore, O Lord, the honour of your name, in works of sovereign power come shake the earth again, that all may see, and come with reverent fear to the living God, whose kingdom shall outlast the years.

Preparation of the Table Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation: through your goodness we have this bread to set before you, which earth has given and human hands have made. It will become for us the bread of life. Blessed be God for ever. Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation: through your goodness we have this wine to set before you, fruit of the vine and work of human hands. It will become for us the cup of salvation. Blessed be God for ever.

The Eucharistic Prayer The Lord is here. His Spirit is with us. Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give thanks and praise. Blessed are you, Lord God, our light and our salvation; to you be glory and praise for ever. From the beginning you have created all things and all your works echo the silent music of your praise. In the fullness of time you made us in your image, the crown of all creation. You give us breath and speech, that with angels and archangels and all the powers of heaven we may find a voice to sing your praise: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts. The whole earth is full of his glory, the whole earth is full of his glory, the whole earth is full of his glory, holy is the Lord.

How wonderful the work of your hands, O Lord. As a mother tenderly gathers her children, you embraced a people as your own. When they turned away and rebelled your love remained steadfast. From them you raised up Jesus our Saviour, born of Mary, to be the living bread, in whom all our hungers are satisfied. He offered his life for sinners, and with a love stronger than death he opened wide his arms on the cross. On the night before he died, he came to supper with his friends and, taking bread, he gave you thanks. He broke it and gave it to them, saying: Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me. At the end of supper, taking the cup of wine, he gave you thanks, and said: Drink this, all of you;

this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me. Christ is the bread of life: When we eat this bread and drink this cup we proclaim your death Lord Jesus, until you come in glory. Father, we plead with confidence his sacrifice made once for all upon the cross; we remember his dying and rising in glory, and we rejoice that he intercedes for us at your right hand. Pour out your Holy Spirit as we bring before you these gifts of your creation; may they be for us the body and blood of your dear Son. As we eat and drink these holy things in your presence, form us in the likeness of Christ, and build us into a living temple to your glory. Remember, Lord, your Church in every land. Reveal her unity, guard her faith, and preserve her in peace. Bring us at the last with St Peter and St Paul and all the saints to the vision of that eternal splendour for which you have created us; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, by whom, with whom, and in whom, with all who stand before you in earth and heaven, we worship you, Father almighty, in songs of everlasting praise: Blessing and honour and glory and power be yours for ever and ever. Amen.

The Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prayer As our Saviour taught us, so we pray Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Breaking of the Bread We break this bread to share in the body of Christ. Though we are many we are one body because we all share in one bread.

Giving of Communion God’s holy gifts for God’s holy people. Jesus Christ is holy, Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father Most merciful Lord, your love compels us to come in. Our hands were unclean, our hearts were unprepared; we were not fit even to eat the crumbs from under your table. But you, Lord, are the God of our salvation, and share your bread with sinners. So cleanse and feed us with the precious body and blood of your Son, that he may live in us and we in him; and that we, with the whole company of Christ, may sit and eat in your kingdom. Amen.

Communion Hymn 1. With a prayer you fed the hungry, with a cry you stilled the storm; with a look you had compassion on the desp’rate and forlorn. With a touch you healed the leper, with a shout you raised the dead; with a word expelled the demons, with a blessing broke the bread. Love incarnate, love divine, captivate this heart of mine till all I do speaks of you.

2. As a sheep before the shearer you were silent in your pain; you endured humiliation at the hands of those you’d made. And as hell unleashed its fury you were lifted on a tree, crying, ‘Father God, forgive them, place their punishment on me.’ 3. I will feed the poor and hungry, I will stand up for the truth; I will take my cross and follow to the corners of the earth. And I ask that you so fill me with your peace, your pow’r, your breath, that I never love my life so much to shrink from facing death.

Post Communion Prayer O God, your Son made himself known to his disciples in the breaking of bread: open the eyes of our faith, that we may see him in his redeeming work, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The Dismissal Final Hymn

1. Proclaim, proclaim the story, the news of him who came that he might die! Make known to all his glory, Lift up his name on high!

2. He comes to reign for evermore, come kneel adore, bow down in awe; lift up your hearts and worship Christ, whom God has crowned as Lord!

3. Sing out, sing out hosanna! Rejoice and greet the King of kings! Lift high his royal banner, lift up your voice and sing. Words: Nick Fawcett (b 1957) Music: Te Deum Prelude, Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1636-1704) © 1999 Kevin Mayhew Ltd (Easy Anthems for Choirs)

Blessing May God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the source of all goodness and growth, pour his blessing upon all things created, and upon you his children, that you may use his gifts to his glory and the welfare of all peoples; and the blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among you and remain with you always. Amen.

The Dismissal Tend the earth, care for God’s good creation, and bring forth the fruits of righteousness. Go in the peace of Christ. Thanks be to God.

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.
