Church at Home the Sixth Sunday After Trinity Before the Service Church at Home The Sixth Sunday after Trinity Before the Service A very warm welcome to the Diocese of Oxford’s Church at Home: the Diocesan Service for the Sixth Sunday after Trinity. The president at today’s Eucharist is the Rt Revd Colin Fletcher Bishop of Dorchester and the address is given by Rev’d Verena Breed, Team Rector of Bicester. We are delighted that the Gospel is read this morning by the Rt Revd Eggoni Pushpa Lalitha, Bishop of Nandyal. Nandyal, which is located in the state of Andhra Pradesh, is one of our international link dioceses. Like us, it has been working on new forms of ministry during lockdown – and now both has an online presence through its cathedral and is beginning to re-open its church buildings, which are located in communities that range from large cities to rural villages. We pray for each other in these endeavours; the Church at Home service affords us a unique opportunity to connect with not only our Brothers and Sisters in Christ from around the diocese but also from around the world. We are deeply grateful to all who made this service possible; for gifted readers, musicians, preachers and all who have contributed, including those from two schools in the Diocese, in Headington and Waddesdon; and from Radley, Oxford, Twyford, Bicester, Dorchester and India. Although many of our churches are now open for limited worship it is wonderful that we can still gather ‘online’ together as a Diocese with Church at Home. We remember all those still suffering from the Covid19 pandemic and other countries who are still experiencing spikes in their infection rates. We pray for all those continuing to put their lives at risk working in the NHS and in the front-line service. And we pray for wisdom and guidance for all leaders in the world as we navigate this new reality and fght for justice and equality for all. Our service opens with the words of Psalm 23, sung by the choir of Waddesdon Secondary School: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 2 The Gathering President In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. All Amen. President The Lord be with you All and also with you. The President welcomes the congregation. Hymn recorded remotely by the Cathedral Singers of Christ Church mixed by James Potter The church’s one Foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord; she is his new creation, by water and the word: from heaven he came and sought her to be his holy Bride; with his own blood he bought her, and for her life he died. Elect from every nation, yet one o’er all the earth, her charter of salvation, one Lord, one faith, one birth; one holy name she blesses, partakes one holy food, and to one hope she presses, with every grace endued. 3 ’Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war, she waits the consummation of peace for evermore; till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest, and the great church victorious shall be the church at rest. Yet she on earth hath union with God the Three in One, and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won. O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with thee. Words: S J Stone (1839–1900) Music: Aurelia, S S Wesley (1810–76) Confession God so loved the world that he gave his only Son Jesus Christ to save us from our sins, to be our advocate in heaven, and to bring us to eternal life. Let us confess our sins in penitence and faith, frmly resolved to keep God’s commandments and to live in love and peace with all. All Almighty God, our heavenly Father, we have sinned against you and against our neighbour in thought and word and deed, through negligence, through weakness, through our own deliberate fault. We are truly sorry and repent of all our sins. 4 For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, who died for us, forgive us all that is past and grant that we may serve you in newness of life to the glory of your name. Amen. Absolution President Almighty God, who forgives all who truly repent, have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, confrm and strengthen you in all goodness, and keep you in life eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord. All Amen. Gloria in Excelsis Mozarabic chant Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly King, O God almighty Father. Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For You alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen. 5 The Collect President Let us pray. Silence is kept. President Merciful God, you have prepared for those who love you such good things as pass our understanding: pour into our hearts such love toward you that we, loving you in all things and above all things, may obtain your promises, which exceed all that we can desire; 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. All Amen. 6 The Liturgy of the Word Sit comfortably to listen to God speaking through the Scriptures. First Reading Isaiah 44: 6–8 (NRSV) read by Sam Pullen from the parish of Radley A reading from the Prophecy of Isaiah. Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: I am the frst and I am the last; besides me there is no god. Who is like me? Let them proclaim it, let them declare and set it forth before me. Who has announced from of old the things to come? Let them tell us what is yet to be. Do not fear, or be afraid; have I not told you from of old and declared it? You are my witnesses! Is there any god besides me? There is no other rock; I know not one. Reader This is the word of the Lord. All Thanks be to God. 7 Psalm 86: 11–end Tone IV 11 Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; knit my heart to you, that I may fear your name. 12 I will thank you, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and glorify your name for evermore; 13 For great is your steadfast love towards me, for you have delivered my soul from the depths of the grave. 14 O God, the proud rise up against me and a ruthless horde seek after my life; they have not set you before their eyes. 15 But you, Lord, are gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and full of kindness and truth. 16 Turn to me and have mercy upon me; give your strength to your servant and save the child of your handmaid. 17 Show me a token of your favour, that those who hate me may see it and be ashamed; because you, O Lord, have helped and comforted me. 8 Gospel Reading Matthew 13:24–30, 36–43 (NRSV) read by the Rt Revd Eggoni Pushpa Lalitha Bishop of Nandyal Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. All Glory to you, O Lord. Jesus put before the crowd another parable: ‘The kingdom of heaven may be compared to someone who sowed good seed in his feld; but while everybody was asleep, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away. So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared as well. And the slaves of the householder came and said to him, “Master, did you not sow good seed in your feld? Where, then, did these weeds come from?” He answered, “An enemy has done this.” The slaves said to him, “Then do you want us to go and gather them?” But he replied, “No; for in gathering the weeds you would uproot the wheat along with them. Let both of them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Collect the weeds frst and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples approached him, saying, ‘Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the feld.’ He answered, ‘The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man; the feld is the world, and the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the weeds are the children of the evil one, and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.

  • Fresh Expression Pilgrimage
    Fresh Expression Pilgrimage From Friday September 4 through to Wednesday September 16, my husband Andy and I made a Fresh Expressions Pilgrimage to England. On our journey we talked to clergy and lay leaders about Fresh Expressions of Church as well as how many traditional Anglican churches are re‐ imaging themselves to bring the Gospel message afresh to those in their parishes and to those who have yet to hear the good news. Following is a brief summary of our travels. This is only a summary so if questions arise please contact us for a more detailed conversation. Note: There are 11 different stories in this document. By Sue Kalbfleisch. Moot: creative and explorative Christian activity in the city The Moot community, lead by Rev’d Ian Mobsby, is located in St. Mary Woolnoth Church, in the heart of London’s financial district. The group meets from 6:30 onward on Sunday evenings beginning with refreshments and then worship begins at 7:00. This area of London is a “ghost town” on Saturdays and Sundays with restaurants and shops being closed, so everyone travels in to Moot. On Sunday evening there were about 25 worshippers at Moot including folk from the area as well as some German youth leaders and a priest from New Zealand. Worship included an adapted Compline service with a time of meditation. Ian joined the participants and Jon Oliver, a pioneer ministry student on a summer placement from Cambridge, led the service. Moot is a safe place for people who have issues in their lives – it is non‐judgmental, inclusive, welcoming, and engaging.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.

  • Church at Home the Seventeenth Sunday After Trinity Before the Service
    Church at Home The Seventeenth Sunday after Trinity Before the Service A very warm welcome to Church at Home this seventeenth Sunday after Trinity. Today, we mark a significant moment in the life of our Diocese, as the Bishop of Dorchester, the Rt Revd Colin Fletcher, retires this weekend. Bishop Colin has exercised episcopal oversight in the Dorchester Area covering much of Oxfordshire since 2000, and is the longest-serving Suffragan Bishop in the Church of England. He has also served with distinction as Acting Bishop of Oxford during two long vacancies. As Bishop Steven Croft has acknowledged: “Bishop Colin has helped to shape the Diocese of Oxford as much as anyone across the last 20 years.” We are honoured and delighted that our President today is Bishop Colin, with the address by the Ven. Judy French, Archdeacon of Dorchester. The theme of our service is the Lord’s Vineyard – a rich metaphor appearing numerous times in the scriptures, including in the book of the prophet Isaiah and the Gospels. Our readings today challenge us to consider our labour and our ways of living in the Lord’s Vineyard, and to ask whether these produce good fruit – the fruits of God’s Kingdom. On this, the last Sunday in Creationtide – the period in the annual church calendar dedicated to God as Creator and Sustainer of all life – we reflect further on our responsibility to tend and care for the Vineyard of all Creation that the Lord has gifted us. As we prepare to gather – physically-distanced and yet drawn together around the Word and Table of the Lord – we continue to remember in prayer all those whose lives are currently being turned upside down by the disruption and threat of both the climate crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic – across the world, within our nation, in our local communities, and our churches.
