The Collect Almighty God, whose Son Jesus Christ fasted forty days in the wilderness, and was tempted as we are, yet without sin: give us grace to discipline ourselves in obedience to your Spirit; and , as you know our weakness, so may we know your power to save; 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. Amen.

Old Testament Reading Deuteronomy 26. 1—11 read by Hugh Taylor

A reading from The Book of Deuteronomy. Let us listen for the Word of the Lord

When you have come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance to possess, and you possess it, and settle in it, you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you harvest from the land that the Lord your God is giving you, and you shall put it in a basket and go to the place that the Lord your God will choose as a dwelling for his name. You shall go to the priest who is in office at that time, and say to him, ‘Today I declare to the Lord your God that I have come into the land that the Lord swore to our ancestors to give us.’ When the priest takes the basket from your hand and sets it down before the altar of the Lord your God, you shall make this response before the Lord your God: ‘A wandering Aramean was my ancestor; he went down into Egypt and lived there as an alien, few in number, and there he became a great nation, mighty and populous. When the Egyptians treated us harshly and afflicted us, by imposing hard labour on us, we cried to the Lord, the God of our ancestors; the Lord heard our voice and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression. The Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with a terrifying display of power, and with signs and wonders; and he brought us into this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. So now I bring the first of the fruit of the ground that you, O Lord, have given me.’ You shall set it down before the Lord your God and bow down before the Lord your God. Then you, together with the Levites and the aliens who reside among you, shall celebrate with all the bounty that the Lord your God has given to you and to your house.

For the word of the Lord Thanks be to God

New Testament Reading Romans 10. 8b—13 read by Ruby Grant-Hudson

A reading from The Letter of Paul to the Romans. Let us listen for the Word of the Lord

‘The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart’ (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. The scripture says, ‘No one who believes in him will be put to shame.’ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. For, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’

For the word of Lord Thanks be to God Psalm Psalm 91

1.He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Who abides under the shadow of the Almighty, He will say to the Lord ‘You are my refuge and my stronghold My God in whom I trust.’

2.For he will deliver you from the snare of the hunter And from the destroying curse. He will cover you with his wings, and you will be safe under his feathers: His faithfulness will be your shield and defence.

3.You shalt not be afraid of any terror by night or of the arrow that flies by day, Of the pestilence that walks about in the darkness or the plague that destroys at noonday. A thousand may fall beside you, and ten thousand at your right hand But you it shall not touch: your own eyes shall see and look on the reward of the ungodly.

4.The Lord himself is your refuge, you have made the Most High your stronghold. Therefore no harm will befall you nor will any scourge come near your tent. For he will command his angels to keep you in all his ways. They will bear you up in their hands lest you dash your foot against a stone.

5.You will tread on the lion and the adder: The young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot. ‘He has set his love upon me, and therefore I will deliver him: I will lift him out of danger, because he has known my name.

6.‘When he calls upon me I will answer him I will be with him in trouble, I will rescue him and bring him to honour. With long life I will satisfy him And fill him with my salvation.’

Gospel Reading Luke 4. 1—13 read by Ross Gunderson

Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke. Glory to you, O Lord

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing at all during those days, and when they were over, he was famished. The devil said to him, ‘If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a loaf of bread.’ Jesus answered him, ‘It is written, “One does not live by bread alone.” Then the devil led him up and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And the devil said to him, ‘To you I will give their glory and all this authority; for it has been given over to me, and I give it to anyone I please. If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.’ Jesus answered him, ‘It is written, “Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.” Then the devil took him to Jerusalem, and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, ‘If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, for it is written, “He will command his angels concerning you, to protect you”, and “On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.” Jesus answered him, ‘It is said, “Do not put the Lord your God to the test.” ’ When the devil had finished every test, he departed from him until an opportune time.

This is the Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, O Christ

Communion Voluntary Dolce (3rd mvmt from Symphony n.4) — Charles Marie Widor

Post Communion Collect Lord God, you have renewed us with the living bread from heaven; by it you nourish our faith, increase our hope, and strengthen our love: teach us always to hunger for him who is the true and living bread, and enable us to live by every work that proceeds from out of your mouth; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

PRAYER MATTERS: If there is anyone you would like us to pray for in church, or whose anniversary of death you would like remembered, please email or call the parish office, or see one of the clergy. Likewise, if you know of anyone who would appreciate a visit, or Home Communion, please get in touch.

 From the Parish Cycle of Prayer: The residents of Jarvis Road, Thorncombe Road, Glengarry Road and Hillsborough Road.

 In the Anglican Cycle of Prayer: We Pray for The Bishop of Manicaland and The Anglican Church of Mutare Archdeaconry; Holy Name, Sakubva and the The Revd P Mabhunu St Werburgh’s, Jindwi & Werurgh’s high school, primary school & clinic and the The Revd JN Kuwani, St. Augustine’s Mission, Penalonga and Rev’d S. D. Nagurupira & Rev’d R Kawome, Mutare South Archdeaconry and The Ven. G. T. Sambona, Holy Cross ShundureChapelry and The Revd P Chikuruwo, Ngomasha School, St. ’s Murehwa Chapelry and The Revd G Chauza, and the Anglican Communion as a whole.

 For the Suffering Church: We pray for the Church in Afghanistan where there is no visible church. All Afghan believers are secret converts from Islam. Leaving Islam is seen as apostasy, which brings shame on the family and community. If one is suspected of converting to Christianity they are arrested and buildings that are suspected of being used by the underground church are closed down or damaged. No one is exempt, not even expatriate Christians.

 For those who have asked for our prayers: We pray for Christ’s strength and healing to touch upon all those who suffer, among them: Valerie Austin, the Bailey family, Vera Chowen, John Brothwood, Dennis Corcoran, Christopher Parker, Sheila Riddle, Desmond Warner, for Dan Oliver’s family, Helen Pattison’s parents, Jonathan Carroll, Craig and Cathy Myers. We hold before God those whose struggles are known to Him alone.

 For those who have died: We pray for all our departed loved ones and thank God for their lives. Among those who have recently died we pray for Mary Skinner, Dominic McGrath, Janet Myers, Dan Oliver and Val Fielden. We pray for those with no one to pray for them, and for those whose year’s mind falls at this time. SEVENDAYS: Friday 19th February 10.00am Women’s Bible Study with Crèche (Eileen Francis Library)

 PECAN FOOD BANK (NOW CALLED SOUTHWARK FOOD BANK) Things have changed a bit with arrangements for the Food Bank. Firstly thank you so much for your generous food donations which have been hugely appreciated. However, St Barnabas is no longer a collection point for the food so the need for donations has decreased and the need is now more for money in order to cover Food Bank expenses such as the maintenance and upkeep of the Food Bank van and expensive storage costs. If you put your money donation into a yellow envelope marked Food Bank and fill in your contact details, we can acknowledge your donation. You can also give it to me directly and I’ll make sure the Food Bank receives your donation. Also volunteers are wanted for face to face support of clients coming to the Food Bank as well as an administrator who could offer 2 or 3 half days a week. Either speak to me or go on the Pecan website at www.pecan.org.uk and click on the Get Involved tab to fill in a volunteering application form. Again, thank you so much for supporting this much needed service. Teresa Marshall (07811 723499) PARISH STAFF TEAM St Barnabas with Christ’s Chapel, Dulwich
