SENTENCE

John 7.38

‘Let anyone who is thirsty come to me’, says the Lord; ‘and let the one who believes in me drink. For out of your heart shall flow rivers of living water.’

COLLECT

Almighty God, at the feast of Pentecost you sent your Holy Spirit to the disciples, filling them with joy and boldness to preach the gospel: empower us with that same Spirit to witness to your redeeming love and draw all people to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Amen.

FIRST Reading

Acts 2.1-21 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.

Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them.

All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.

Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem.

And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, ‘Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear,

each of us, in our own native language?

Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs – in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.’ All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, ‘What does this mean?’ But others sneered and said, ‘They are filled with new wine.’

But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, ‘Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say.

Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning.

No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: “In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist. The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day.

Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”’

For the word of the Lord, Thanks be to God.

Mass Readings Verses of the psalm are read alternately by a single reader and the congregation. A pause is observed at the colon for reflection. At Solemn High Mass, the choir sings the psalm.

Psalm 104 26. Lord, how various are your works: in wisdom you have made them all, and the earth is full of your creatures.

27. There is the wide, immeasurable sea: there move living things without number, great and small; 28. There go the ships, to and fro: and there is that Leviathan whom you formed to sport in the deep.

29. These all look to you:

to give them their food in due season.

30. When you give it to them, they gather it: when you open your hand they are satisfied with good things.

31. When you hide your face, they are troubled: when you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.

32. When you send forth your spirit they are created: and you renew the face of the earth.

33. May the glory of the Lord endure for ever: may the Lord rejoice in his works.

34. If he look upon the earth, it shall tremble: if he but touch the mountains, they shall smoke.

35. I will sing to the Lord as long as I live: I will praise my God while I have any being.

36. May my meditation be pleasing to him: for my joy shall be in the Lord.

Second reading

1 Corinthians 12.1-13 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.

You know that when you were pagans, you 4

were enticed and led astray to idols that could not speak. Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says ‘Let Jesus be cursed!’ and no one can say ‘Jesus is Lord’ except by the Holy Spirit.

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each one individually just as the Spirit chooses.

For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body – Jews or Greeks, slaves or free – and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

For the word of the Lord, Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION

Alleluia.

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful; and kindle in them the fire of your love.

Alleluia.

CHRIST CHURCH ST LAURENCE Railway Square, Sydney

Mass Readings Gospel

John 20. 19-23 The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.

Glory to you Lord Jesus Christ.

It was evening on the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you.’ After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side.

Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.’ When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.’

OFFERTORY SENTENCE

Give the command, my God, in accordance with your power: that godlike power whereby you act for us. Give the command from your temple in Jerusalem: and kings shall bring you tribute.

COMMUNION SENTENCE

They were all filled with the Holy Spirit: and they spoke of the great things God has done. Alleluia

This is the Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.

COMMUNION MOTET Holy Spirit, Truth divine Andrew Carter (b.1939) Holy Spirit, truth divine, dawn upon this soul of mine; Voice of God and inward light, wake my spirit, clear my sight.

Holy Spirit, love divine, glow within this heart of mine. Kindle every high desire, purify me with your fire.

Holy Spirit, power divine, fill and nerve this will of mine. Boldly may I always live, bravely serve, and gladly give.

Holy Spirit, law divine, reign within this soul of mine. Be my law, and I shall be firmly bound, forever free.

Holy Spirit, peace divine, still this restless heart of mine. Speak to calm this tossing sea, grant me your tranquility.

Holy Spirit, joy divine, gladden now this heart of mine. In the desert ways I sing - spring, O Living Water, spring!

SUNDAY NOTICES

Notes from the Belltower

On Sunday 28 May you may have heard the bells at CCSL being rung for two striking competition entries: the novices’ striking competition on six bells for the Laura Ivey Trophy which Perth inaugurated in 2014, as well as the ten bell striking competition inaugurated five years ago.

These performances were recorded and have been submitted for judging at the Australian & New Zealand Association of Bellringers (ANZAB) Festival to be held 8-13 June 2017. This year the Festival will take place in the Macarthur Region of NSW, based at Castlereagh, Camden, Menangle and Bowral, with tours to Sydney and Katoomba.

As part of the Festival, CCSL has the pleasure of hosting special ringing on Trinity Sunday (11 June) before the Solemn Procession and Evensong. Ringers from all over Australia and overseas will be ringing before the service from 5:00 – 6:30 pm, so if you come a bit early, you may get to hear some very good ringing.

Washing Roster for Cana Shelter

We are looking for a few more volunteers to join this roster. Collect one bag of sheets and pillow slips about every couple of months. Wash, dry and fold (no ironing needed) and return when convenient to you. Interested or want more information?

Please email Lyn on lbannerman@ozemail. com.au

Confirmation and Reception

On Sunday 23 July we will welcome our regional Bishop, The Right Rev’d Dr Michael Stead. Bishop Michael will preach at the 9.00am and 10.30am Masses, and will confer the sacrament of Confirmation at Solemn High Mass on that day. If you would 6

like to be a candidate for Confirmation or Reception into the Anglican Church, please contact the parish office by email, office@ccsl.org.au, or speak directly with a member of the clergy.

SUNDAY NOTICES Parish Hall

Following the recent renovation and upgrading of the Parish Hall there has been greater interest in the use of our facilities by organisations outside of the parish. As well as raising revenue for the parish, this has the benefit of raising the profile of CCSL in the wider community. To assist with this, the wardens are keen to hear from anyone

who would be interested in assisting as a verger/caretaker for external hall bookings, particularly with bookings outside of office hours. Those who serve as caretakers will be paid an honorarium (payable by the hirers).

Please contact the Parish Office (office@ ccsl.org.au 9211 0560) if you would like to register your interest.
