The Fourth Sunday After Pentecost 7 July 2019 Anglican Parish of Caloundra - Glasshouse Country The Churches of: St Andrew’s, 46 Upper Gay Terrace, Caloundra, St Thomas’, 31 Bray Road, Mooloolah and the Mary MacKillop Centre, 160 Peachester Road, Beerwah The Fourth Sunday after Pentecost 7 July 2019 The candle burns this week for Rev’d Craig Moody, who died last week, and for his family in mourning WELCOME TO WORSHIP Welcome to worship. We hope your time here will be a blessing for you. We would like to give you information about the various ministries of the Parish: please ask one of the Welcomers or Sidespersons for a Parish Information Pack. SUNDAYS FOLLOWING PENTECOST We are now in the part of the church’s year known as ‘Ordinary time’, that is time outside of the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter. The term comes from the Latin Tempus Per Annum ("time throughout the year"). ‘Ordinary’ doesn’t mean unexceptional or uninteresting, but customary, regular or orderly. Through the season we celebrate the mystery of Christ in all its aspects, and the liturgical colour of green points to our Christian hope and life. PRAYER OF THE DAY God of the covenant, in our baptism you called us to proclaim the coming of your kingdom: give us courage, as you gave it to the apostles, that we may faithfully witness to your love and peace in every circumstance of life; in the name of Jesus Christ our Redeemer, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. FIRST READING Isaiah 66.10-14 A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah ‘Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice greatly with her, all you who mourn over her. For you will feed and be satisfied at her comforting breasts; you will drink deeply and delight in her overflowing abundance.’ For this is what the Lord says: ‘I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream; you will feed and be carried on her arm and dandled on her knees. As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.’ When you see this, your heart will rejoice and you will flourish like grass; the hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants, but his fury will be shown to his foes. Hear the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. PSALM 66:1-8 Response: All the earth shall worship you, O Lord. Be joyful in God, all the earth; sing the glory of his name; sing the glory of his praise. 2 Say to God, ‘How awesome are your deeds! Because of your great strength your enemies shall bow before you. ‘All the earth shall worship you, sing to you, sing praise to your name.’ ………… Response Come now and behold the works of God, how wonderful he is in his dealings with humankind. He turned the sea into dry land; the river they passed through on foot; there we rejoiced in him. In his might he rules for ever; his eyes keep watch over the nations; let no rebel rise up against him. ………… Response Bless our God, O you peoples; make the voice of his praise to be heard, Who holds our souls in life: and suffers not our feet to slip.………... Response SECOND READING Galatians 6:1-18 A reading from the letter of Paul to the Galatians Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ. If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load. Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor. Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand! Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh. May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation. Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule – to the Israel of God. From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen. Hear the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. 3 GOSPEL Luke 10.1-12, 17-24 The Lord be with you. And also with you. The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke, chapter 10, beginning at the 1st verse. Glory to you Lord Jesus Christ. After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. He told them, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road. ‘When you enter a house, first say, “Peace to this house.” If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house. ‘When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you. Heal those there who are ill and tell them, “The kingdom of God has come near to you.” But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, “Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: the kingdom of God has come near.” I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town. The seventy-two returned with joy and said, ‘Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.’ He replied, ‘I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.’ At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, ‘I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do. ‘All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.’ Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, ‘Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.’ This is the Gospel of the Lord Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.

While most of us are caring and welcoming, many are unaware of actions and words that can cause others to feel excluded or not valued. The course of 4 sessions, each of 3-4 hours, builds participants’ understanding and skills gradually, providing an opportunity for them to use what they have learned in their daily interactions, whether at home, work, school, in the community, at church or at social and sports clubs: everywhere, in fact.

  • Ordained Ministry in the Diocese of Bendigo
    Ordained Ministry in the Diocese of Bendigo Revised October 2015 The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest Matthew 9.37-38 2 Contents Introduction 4 A message from the Archbishop of Canterbury 6 Have you got a vocation, a call from God? 7 What are the marks of a vocation? 7 What would you be called to? 10 Expressions of Ordained Ministry 12 Have you got what it takes? 15 The Board of Ministry Selection Process 20 What about training? 22 Post ordination 23 Other information 24 For further information 24 Some prayers for vocation 25 3 Introduction Bishop Andrew Curnow AM Bishop of Bendigo The Diocese of Bendigo welcomes your interest in ministry in this Diocese. Ministry is undertaken by all God’s people in both lay and ordained roles within the Church and wider community. This booklet is primarily aimed at those enquiring about ordained ministry, but reading it will affirm your lay ministry and may also encourage your interest in ordination. Ordained ministers have a particular responsibility to ensure that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is modeled, passed on, explained and lived out. This is their vocation or calling. Each enquirer must therefore be identified by the Church as called by Christ for their distinctive ministry and to be able to personally acknowledge Christ’s call. In the Diocese of Bendigo the question of ordination is very much at the discretion of the Bishop, but to assist him in this process the Bishop has established a Board of Ministry.
