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 The LORD says this: Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you that have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labour for that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to me; listen, so that you may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David. See, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples. See, you shall call nations that you do not know, and nations that do not know you shall run to you, because of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you.
Second Reading – Romans 9.1-5 I am speaking the truth in Christ – I am not lying; my conscience confirms it by the Holy Spirit –I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my own people, my kindred according to the flesh. They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, comes the Messiah, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
Gospel – Matthew 14.13-21 When Jesus heard that Herod had beheaded John the Baptist, he withdrew 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.
Communion Hymn Eat this bread, drink this cup, come to him and never be hungry. Eat this bread, drink this cup, trust in him and you will not thirst. 1. Christ is the bread of ilfe, the true bread sent from the Father. 2. Your ancestors ate manna in the desert, but this is the bread come down from heaven. 3. Eat his flesh and drink his blood, and Christ will raise you up on the last day. 4. Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever. 5. If we believe and eat this bread, we will have eternal life. Words: based on John 6, Taizé Community Music: Jacques Berthier (1923-1994) © Ateliers et Presse de Taizé (Anglican Hymns Old and New – 159)
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.

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.
