Amen. Please be seated for the readings and the Psalm. Please stand for the Sequence Hymn. The First Reading Job 19:23-27a O that my words were written down! O that they were inscribed in a book! O that with an iron pen and with lead they were engraved on a rock forever! For I know that my Redeemer lives, and that at the last he will stand upon the earth; and after my skin has been thus destroyed, then in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see on my side, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. Psalm 17:1-9 (sung by choir) Exaudi, Domine 1 HEAR the right, O LORD, consider my complaint, * and hearken unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips. 2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; * and let thine eyes look upon the thing that is equal. 3 Thou hast proved and visited mine heart in the night season; thou hast tried me, and shalt find no wickedness in me; * for I am utterly purposed that my mouth shall not offend. 4 As for the works of men, * by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the destroyer. 5 O hold thou up my goings in thy paths, * that my footsteps slip not. 6 I have called upon thee, O God, for thou shalt hear me: * incline thine ear to me, and hearken unto my words. 7 Show thy marvellous loving-kindness, thou that art the Saviour of them which put their trust in thee, * from such as resist thy right hand. 8 Keep me as the apple of an eye; * hide me under the shadow of thy wings, 9 From the ungodly, that trouble me; * mine enemies compass me round about, to take away my soul. The Second Lesson 2 Thessalonians 2:1-5,13-17 As to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we beg you, brothers and sisters, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as though from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is already here. Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the lawless one is revealed, the one destined for destruction. He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, declaring himself to be God. Do you not remember that I told you these things when I was still with you? But we must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the first fruits for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and through belief in the truth. For this purpose he called you through our proclamation of the good news, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by our letter. Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and through grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope, comfort your hearts and strengthen them in every good work and word. Sequence Hymn (America) Hymnal 717 My country ‘tis of thee The Gospel may be preceded by an Alleluia verse sung responsively by the cantor and the congregation. Introduction to the Gospel (standing) Luke 20:27-38 Deacon: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke. People: Glory be to thee, O Lord Some Sadducees, those who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and asked him a question, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the widow and raise up children for his brother. Now there were seven brothers; the first married, and died childless; then the second and the third married her, and so in the same way all seven died childless. Finally the woman also died. In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had married her.” Jesus said to them, “Those who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage; but those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. Indeed they cannot die anymore, because they are like angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection. And the fact that the dead are raised Moses himself showed, in the story about the bush, where he speaks of the Lord as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Now he is God not of the dead, but of the living; for to him all of them are alive.” Deacon: The Gospel of the Lord. People: Praise be to thee, O Christ. Please be seated for the sermon. Sermon The Very Rev. Kevin Morris Nicene Creed (standing) I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible; And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Ghost the Lord, and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spake by the Prophets. And I believe one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church; I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. Prayers of the People (standing) Rite 1 BCP Page 328 Confession of Sin (standing or kneeling) Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, maker of all things, judge of all men: We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we from time to time most grievously have committed, by thought, word, and deed, against thy divine Majesty, provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; the remembrance of them is grievous unto us, the burden of them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father; for thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, forgive us all that is past; and grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life, to the honor and glory of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

  • Remembrance Sunday
    Remembrance Sunday Invite parishioners to wear uniform (Regular & Reserve Forces, Cadets, Scouts and Guides) and/or to wear their own medals (on the left) or the medals of close relatives (on the right). Those in uniform could be involved with the Act of Remembrance (reading, laying the wreath etc.) and with the Mass (welcoming, reading, collection, offertory procession, extraordinary ministers of holy communion). Flags and banners could also be processed in and out at the beginning and end of Mass. Encourage parishioners to talk about relatives who have died in wars and conflicts during coffee after Mass (medals worn on the right are an indication for other people). Act of Remembrance This may take place 1. Before Mass begins 2. During Mass (incorporated into the Prayer of the Faithful) 3. Following the Prayer After Communion and before the Blessing and Dismissal Option 1 is the most common but options 2 and 3 could be used especially when the Mass begins at 1030 or 1000, so that the silence occurs close to/at 1100. A Sample Act of Remembrance is given at Appendix 1. A roll of honour of those who have died in war and conflict from the parish could also be incorporated into the Act of Remembrance before the silence (immediately before “They shall grow not old”). Last Post & The Rouse (Music at Appendix II). Consider possible contacts for buglers (school music departments or local cadet units) or recordings from You Tube could be used (versions are available which incorporate the silence – 1 minute silence - 2 minute silence). Wreath laying (this could be done in front of the altar, at a war memorial, or below a memorial window).

  • 1 Remembrance Sunday Homily, November 12Th 2017 Amos 5:18-24
    1 Remembrance Sunday Homily , November 12 th 2017 Amos 5:18-24, also John 15:9-17 and Matthew 25:1-13. Remembrance Sunday is part of the Church of England and Anglican Church Calendar, to remember those who died in military service to bring freedom and stability. Different Countries have different days – the Netherlands it is of course on May 4 th . But the Anglican Church follows the Sunday closest to 11 th November, remembering particularly those died in World War One and World War Two but those in subsequent wars and involvements as recently as Afghanistan and Iraq. I thought to look at Remembrance Sunday it would help to look at it through the lens of another act of remembrance, 2 commanded by Jesus to be held, remembering that last Supper. That act is called by different names, Holy Communion, the Last Supper, the Lord’s Supper, Mass, Eucharist. I believe it helps us reflect on remembering, on being thankful and being agents of change… At the heart of the Lord’s Supper, or Communion, is remembrance . We recall in this, the night before Jesus died on Good Friday, he had a meal with his friends, a meal where he washed their feet, taught them, told them that he would soon be betrayed by one of them, and be killed. He commanded them to love each other as modelled his own expression of love to them – which would be shown on Calvary. He asked the church to remember what was about to happen to him – like the bread he broke, and the wine that was poured, his body would be broken and his blood shed – his death was for them and for each of us, Jesus said: “there is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” (John 15).

A Light In the Darkness As I write this piece, we have passed the autumnal equinox and the nights are now longer than the days. It is no coincidence that as a church we move, in the liturgical calendar, into seasons of light and darkness which continue into the New Year. Beginning with Allhallowtide, a triduum comprising of All Hallows Eve, All Hallows Day (All Saints Day) and All Souls Day. But before we come to the remembrance of how different people served God in their lives and through example, we start with a trickier (excuse the pun) feast. All Hallows Eve, or to give it its more common name ‘Halloween’. There is much debate about the growing holiday of Halloween. To some it’s an opportunity for communities to come together, to talk to people in their neighbourhood they wouldn’t normally speak to, for fun and parties.

  • Introduction to Assembly We Remember This War On
    Introduction to assembly We remember this war on Remembrance Day. We bring to mind not just those people who fought and died in World War One a hundred years ago but also those affected by World War Two and by other wars since 1945. Remembrance is not a word we use every day. In everyday life, we say we 'remember' something like a friend's birthday. Things around us help us to remember people or places. Photos remind us of a party or maybe a holiday. An old toy, a football programme, clothes now too small for us ... these things remind us of the past. 'Remembrance' suggests something more important, a significant experience that can be shared. Some people might ask ‘Why November the eleventh?’ It was at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month that World War One ended in 1918. At eleven o'clock on a Monday morning, the guns fell silent. The killing stopped. This was the armistice - an agreement to stop fighting. When World War One was over, people wanted to mark the event on a special day, so they chose Armistice Day. Today many people observe Remembrance Sunday but they also have a time for silent reflection on Armistice Day, the eleventh of November, no matter what day of the week it falls on. Those images you saw when coming into the hall will be familiar to many of you. Some of us take part in Remembrance Sunday events around the country, while others watch at home on television. It is a time to pause.

  • The Magazine of Portsmouth Methodist Church
    The Magazine of Portsmouth Methodist Church November 2020 Minister - Rev. John Mills - Tel. 02392 731858 www.portsmouthmethodists.org.uk Reg. Charity No. 1178715 Message from the Manse November, the month of remembrance. This year our service of remembering for loved ones actually takes place on All Saint’s Day, November 1st, the middle day of the traditional season of Allhallowtide which encompasses Halloween and All Souls Day (November 2nd). Of course, on November 11th we have Armistice Day and this year Remembrance Sunday falls on November 8th. I wonder whether this year there will be an added poignancy to remembrance as we look back across this year with the knowledge that some 43,000 people in Britain alone have died from Covid-19 and well over a million worldwide? It can be a gloomy time, even a sad time. Even the weather may add to the atmosphere, it’s often at the start of November that we get the first real wintry days. However, it’s a time that, faced with death, we can also celebrate and be thankful for life. An important part of Remembrance Sunday is the recognition that in dying those sailors, soldiers and air personnel of previous generations helped secure the life and freedoms we enjoy today. When we remember our own lost loved ones we can also give thanks for the life they gave us; literally in the case of our parents, more figuratively in the case of partners and friends. This year in remembering the NHS staff and other key workers who have lost their lives we can also be thankful that they were committed to preserving life for others, even at risk to themselves.
