8:00am Holy Communion 10:30am Parish Communion* The Order of Service is contained in the separate Service Book.
Opening Hymn*
1. We have a gospel to proclaim, good news for all throughout the earth; the gospel of a Saviour’s name: we sing his glory, tell his worth.
4. Tell of that glorious Easter morn: empty the tomb, for he was free. He broke the power of death and hell that we might share his victory.
2. Tell of his birth at Bethlehem, not in a royal house or hall but in a stable dark and dim, the Word made flesh, a light for all.
5. Tell of his reign at God’s right hand, by all creation glorified. He sends his Spirit on his Church to live for him, the Lamb who died.
3. Tell of his death at Calvary, hated by those he came to save, in lonely suffering on the cross; for all he loved his life he gave.
6. Now we rejoice to name him King: Jesus is Lord of all the earth. This gospel-message we proclaim: we sing his glory, tell his worth.
Words: Edward Joseph Burns (b 1938) Music: Fulda, from Sacred Melodies 1815, William Gardiner (1770-1853) (Ancient & Modern – 507)
Collect Almighty God, who looked upon the lowliness of the Blessed Virgin Mary and chose her to be the mother of your only Son: grant that we who are redeemed by his blood may share with her in the glory of your eternal kingdom; 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 61.10,11 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my whole being shall exult in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. For as the earth brings forth its shoots, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.
Second Reading* – Galatians 4.4-7 When the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as children. And because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, ‘Abba! Father!’ So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir, through God.
Gradual Hymn*
1. Ye who own the faith of Jesus sing the wonders that were done, when the love of God the Father o'er our sin the victory won, when he made the Virgin Mary Mother of his only Son. Hail Mary, full of grace.
3. Wherefore let all faithful people tell the honour of her name, let the church in her foreshadowed part in her thanksgiving claim; what Christ's Mother sang in gladness let Christ's people sing the same. Hail Mary, full of grace.
2. Blessèd were the chosen people out of whom the Lord did come, blessèd was the land of promise fashioned for his earthly home; but more blessèd far the Mother she who bare him in her womb. Hail Mary, full of grace.
4. Praise, O Mary, praise the Father, praise thy Saviour and thy Son, praise the everlasting Spirit, who hath made thee ark and throne; o'er all creatures high exalted, lowly praise the Three in One. Hail Mary, full of grace. Words: Vincent Stuckey Stration Coles (I845-I929) Music: Daily Daily, melody from a French Paroissien (Ancient & Modern – 318)

Gospel – Luke 1.46-55 ‘My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, for he has looked with favour on the lowliness of his servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts. He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, according to the promise he made to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants for ever.’
Offertory Hymn*
1. Sing we of the blessèd Mother who received the angel’s word, and obedient to his summons bore in love the infant Lord; sing we of the joys of Mary at whose breast that child was fed who is Son of God eternal and the everlasting Bread.
3. Sing again the joys of Mary when she saw the risen Lord, and in prayer with Christ’s apostles, waited on his promised word: from on high the blazing glory of the Spirit's presence came, heavenly breath of God’s own being, manifest through wind and flame.
2. Sing we, too, of Mary’s sorrows, of the sword that pierced her through, when beneath the cross ofJesus she his weight of suffering knew, looked upon her Son and Saviour reigning high on Calvary’s tree, saw the price of man's redemption paid to set the sinner free.
4. Sing the chiefest joy of Mary when on earth her work was done, and the Lord of all creation brought her to his heavenly home: Virgin Mother, Mary blessed, raised on high and crowned with grace, may your Son, the world's redeemer, grant us all to see his face. Words: George B Timms (1910-1997) Music: Abbot’s Leigh, Cyril Taylor (1907-1991) © from English Praise 1975, Oxford University Press (Ancient & Modern – 315)

Communion Hymns*
1. Her Virgin eyes saw God incarnate born, when she to Bethlem came that happy morn: how high her raptures then began to swell, none but her own omniscient Son can tell. 2. As Eve, when she her fontal sin reviewed, wept for herself and all she should include, blest Mary, with man's Saviour in embrace, joyed for herself and for all human race. 3. All saints are by her Son's dear influence blest; she kept the very fountain at her breast: the Son adored and nursed by the sweet Maid a thousandfold oflove for love repaid. 4. Heaven with transcendent joys her entrance graced, near to his throne her Son his Mother placed; and here below, now she's of heaven possest, all generations are to call her blest. Words: Thomas Ken (1637-1711) Music: Farley Castle, from Sandys’s A Paraphrase upon the Psalms of David 1638 (Ancient & Modern – 314)
1. Virgin-born, we bow before thee: blessèd was the womb that bore thee; Mary, mother meek and mild, blessèd was she in her child.
3. Blessèd she by all creation, who brought forth the world’s Salvation blessèd they, for ever blest, who love thee most and serve thee best.
2. Blessèd was the breast that fed thee; blessèd was the hand that led thee; blessèd was the parent’s eye that watched thy slumbering infancy.
4. Virgin-born, we bow before thee: blessèd was the womb that bore thee; Mary, mother meek and mild, blessèd was she in her child.
Words: Reginald Heber (1783-1826) Music: Quem Pastores, German 15th century melody, adapted by Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) (Ancient & Modern – 317)

Post Communion Prayer God most high, whose handmaid bore the Word made flesh: we thank you that in this sacrament of our redemption you visit us with your Holy Spirit and overshadow us by your power; strengthen us to walk with Mary the joyful path of obedience and so to bring forth the fruits of holiness; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Final Hymn*
1. Let us build a house where love can dwell and all can safely live, a place where saints and children tell how hearts learn to forgive. Built of hopes and dreams and visions, rock of faith and vault of grace; here the love of Christ shall end divisions: All are welcome, all are welcome all are welcome in this place 2. Let us build a house where prophets speak and words are strong and true, where all God’s children dare to seek to dream God’s reign anew. Here the cross shall stand as witness and as symbol of God’s grace; here as one we claim the faith of Jesus.
3. Let us build a house where love is found in water, wine and wheat: a banquet hall on holy ground where peace and justice meet. Here the love of God, through Jesus, is revealed in time and space; as we share in Christ the feast that frees us 4. Let us build a house where hands will reach beyond the wood and stone to heal and strengthen, serve and teach, and live the Word they’ve known. Here the outcast and the stranger bear the image of God’s face; let us bring an end to fear and danger:
5. Let us build a house where all are named their songs and visions heard and loved and treasured, taught and claimed, as words within the Word. Build of tears and cries and laughter, prayers of faith and songs of grace, let this house proclaim from floor to rafter Words & Music: Marty Haugen (b 1950) © 1994 GIA Publications Inc (Ancient & Modern – 365)

Harvest Festival
At my first baptism on Thursday 6 August, it was very special to be using the shell given to me by Oakham, and I would like to thank everyone and as you will see from the photograph it is being put to good use! I baptised two young women (half sisters) who developed a connection with church through the toddler group. One of them is now wanting to have her baby baptised and wants her sister to be a godmother but neither of them had been baptised themselves. It was such a privilege to do and despite having been at many baptisms I was amazed at how different it felt to actually be the one saying the words... I have since baptised an adorable 10 month old last Sunday week, again an amazing privilege as there were about 50 people most of whom have no connection with church. Hope all is well and if you're at Bouverie or in
