A Reflection Poem by Malcolm Guite Matthew 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. The Giver of all gifts asks me to give! The Fountain from which every good thing flows, The Life who spends himself that all might live, The Root whence every bud and blossom grows, Calls me, as if I knew no limitation, As if I focused all his hidden force, To be creative with his new creation, To find my flow in him, my living source, To live as if I had no fear of losing, To spend as if I had no need to earn, To turn my cheek as if it felt no bruising, To lend as if I needed no return, As if my debts and sins were all forgiven, As if I too could body forth his Heaven. https://malcolmguite.wordpress.com/2016/10/11/living-as-if/ Accessed 24th July 2017

HYMN 362 Green Hymn Book (New English Hymnal) —Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; he whose word cannot be broken formed thee for his own abode. On the rock of ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou may’st smile at all thy foes. See! The streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters and all fear of want remove. Who can faint, when such a river ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace, which like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. Saviour, if of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name. Fading is the worldling’s pleasure, all his boasted pomp and show: solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion's children know.

The Liturgy of the Word OLD TESTAMENT READING Reader
Be seated
A reading from the First Book of Kings. At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, ‘Ask what I should give you.’ And Solomon said, ‘You have shown great and steadfast love to your servant my father David, because he walked before you in faithfulness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart towards you; and you have kept for him this great and steadfast love, and have given him a son to sit on his throne today. And now, O Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David, although I am only a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. And your servant is in the midst of the people whom you have chosen, a great people, so numerous they cannot be numbered or counted. Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, able to discern between good and evil; for who can govern this your great people?’ It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this. God said to him, ‘Because you have asked this, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches, or for the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern what is right, I now do according to your word. Indeed I give you a wise and discerning mind; no one like you has been before you and no one like you shall arise after you. 1 Kings 3:5-12

PSALM
A cantor sings the antiphon first; all repeat it thereafter. Your decrees are wonderful; therefore I obey them with all my heart.
When your word goes forth it gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. I open my mouth and pant; I long for your commandments. Antiphon Turn to me in mercy, as you always do to those who love your name. Steady my footsteps in your word; let no iniquity have dominion over me. Rescue me from those who oppress me, and I will keep your commandments. Antiphon HIGH MASS | 9
Let your countenance shine upon your servant and teach me your statutes. My eyes shed streams of tears, because people do not keep your law. Antiphon Psalm 119:129-136
EPISTLE READING Reader
A reading from the Letter of Paul to the Romans. Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn within a large family. And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified. What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, will he not with him also give us everything else? Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? It is Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, ‘For your sake we are being killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered.’ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:26-39

HOLY GOSPEL Celebrant Allll Celebrant Allll Celebrant Allll
All stand and turn to face the book of the Gospels The Lord be with you. And with thy spirit. The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. Glory be to thee, O Lord. The Gospel of Christ. Praise be to thee, O Christ. Jesus put before them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches." He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened. The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls; on finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and caught fish of every kind; when it was full, they drew it ashore, sat down, and put the good into baskets but threw out the bad. So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous and throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Have you understood all this?" They answered, "Yes." And he said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a household who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old." Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52

HYMN
Stand The People sing the hymn while the People’s gifts of bread, wine and money are brought forward. 628 Blue Hymn Book (Common Praise) — O Love, How Deep, How Broad, How High O love, how deep, how broad, how high! It fills the heart with ecstasy, that God, the Son of God, should take our mortal form for mortals' sake. God sent no angel to our race, of higher or of lower place, but wore the robe of human frame for us, and to this lost world came. For us he was baptized, and bore his holy fast, and hungered sore; for us temptations sharp he knew; for us the tempter overthrew. For us he prayed; for us he taught; for us his daily works he wrought: by words and signs and actions, thus still seeking not himself, but us.
HIGH MASS | 15
For us by wickedness betrayed, scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed, he bore the shameful cross and death; for us at length gave up his breath. For us he rose from death again; for us he went on high to reign; for us he sent his Spirit here to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer. To God whose boundless love has won salvation for us through the Son, to God the Father, glory be both now and through eternity.

Kneel
All glory be to thee, O Lord our God, who didst make us in thine own image; and, of thy tender mercy, didst give thine only Son Jesus Christ to take our nature upon him, and to suffer death upon the cross for our redemption. He made there a full and perfect sacrifice for the whole world; and did institute, and in his holy Gospel command us to continue, a perpetual memory of that his precious death and sacrifice, until his coming again; who, in the same night that he was betrayed, took bread; and, when he had given thanks to thee, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take, eat, this is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” + Likewise, after supper, he took the cup; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink this, all of you; for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for you and for many, for the remission of sins: Do this, as oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me.” + Wherefore, O Lord and heavenly Father, we thy people do celebrate and make, with these thy holy gifts which we now offer unto thee, the memorial thy Son hath commanded us to make; having in remembrance his blessed passion and precious death, his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension; and looking for his coming again with power and great glory.

The Thurible NOTES FROM THE CLERGY It was wonderful to celebrate St. James’ day with all of you last Sunday. Walking round the “Faith in Action” section of the Parish Hall and seeing all the stands that showed off current ministries flowing from, and associated with our church. I felt a sense of peace, knowing that we are at work in the world that God so loves. Thank you to all those of you that made the feast and time of fellowship possible, and a special thanks to Audrey, our volunteer coordinator. In preparation for this coming Sunday, I have been thinking a lot about the Kingdom of God, and where it is, what it looks like, how to recognize it. Last Sunday I witnessed many of you moving around the stands, speaking together with a sense of energy about the ways we can serve in God’s kingdom here and now. I am so grateful to all of you who actively serve (some in multiple capacities!), here in our church. When I attended Synod in May, one of the presentations really spoke to me. A priest in our diocese asked all the people in his congregation to commit one thing they could do in service to
the church. What one thing can each of us do here at St. James? Actively giving of ourselves is the only response that comes from knowing that we have, are and will continue to receive the free and unconditional love, mercy and grace of God. “We cannot speak of this grace, however, without also saying, and saying clearly, that this free gift demands a costly discipleship. Dietrich Bonhoeffer has taught us the dangers of “cheap grace”: “Cheap grace is the grace we bestow upon ourselves. Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession, absolution without personal confession.” 1
I heard Malcolm Guite at a poetry lecture last Wednesday and he talked about living as though we fully know the full gift of grace and forgiveness that God offers. We are a people called to give of the gifts that we have, even if that gift is as simple as taking the time to listen to someone else, or put chairs away after an event. The

freedom that comes from living, accepting this free gift from God is what enables us to be God’s hands and feet here and now. We all have something to offer to continue to make St. James’ a hospitable place of worship and service, which can thrive and grow. What is one thing you can do? Mother Lucy 1.
