Collect for the Week O God, you declare your almighty power most chiefly in showing mercy and pity: mercifully grant to us such a measure of your grace, that we, running the way of your commandments, may receive your gracious promises, and be made partakers of your heavenly treasure; 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

NEWS

New!! Pimperne Village School Letter Link We would like to create a link between the Worshippers at St Peter's Church and the children at Pimperne school. The idea is for you to write a letter or post card that will be sent to the school. The children will reply by sending a picture or a letter to be displayed in Church. This is a guide for your correspondence, but you don't have to stick to it – When I was your age my favourite Bible story was ...... My school was in the village/city/town...... I walked ?? miles to school every day My favourite lesson was ...... My favourite game was...... My best friend was...... My school day started with assembly every morning ...... The thing I liked most about school was ...... You get the idea? You may sign it with your name but please only show your address as Pimperne or Blandford Forum. We want to start a 'conversation' between the school children and the church. They are very interested in how things were for you when you were their age. It can be short or long. Entirely up to you. We would like to send these letters to the school this September so they can read them when they settle back in and know that we are still thinking about them. I can arrange to collect your letter and then take them all to the school for the start of term. For more info call or text Jacqui Torrance on 07950 753320 or leave a message on 480713, or email [email protected]

Opening of Churches for Private Prayer. The churches of St Peter, St Nicholas and Holy Trinity are open on Thursday mornings from 10am to Noon. Please follow the guidance posted at the entrances to each Church. This is in line with the current guidance issued by the Government, H&S Executive and CofE. When the Churches are closed our church porches will still be available as Prayer Spaces for private prayer. If you would like us to pray for someone or a situation, you are welcome to write it down (it can be anonymous), place it in an envelope provided and put it in the basket which can be found in the Church porches of St Peter, Pimperne, Holy Trinity, Stourpaine and St Nicholas, Durweston. I will collect them on Saturday morning. Unfortunately, due the current restrictions, we are not able to provide pens and paper. Information about our services, morning and evening prayer can be found on our website http://www.psdbenefice.org.uk.

New!! Church and Zoom Services - All times change in September! The Sunday service rota from 23 August to 27 September can be found on page 5 and on the Website; please read! Services are open to all and everyone across the Benefice.

If you are thinking of attending a Church service, please could you consider the following: . Hymn books, Bibles and service orders have been safely stored away. If you are attending the BCP service, please could you bring a copy of the Prayer Book with you. For other services there will be a take-away service sheet for you to keep. . Social distancing in church remains at two metres. This means we may need to restrict the number of people attending the service. . You will be asked to wait at the door; the church warden or sides person will direct you to your seat. . The wearing of face coverings is mandatory when attending Church Services. . At the end of the service, please remain seated until you are asked to leave by the church warden or sides person. . The toilets at St Peter’s and St Nicholas’ churches will not be open for use. . There will be a retiring collection at the end of the service. Please place your gift in the basket as you leave. However, there is high level risk of cross contamination associated with coins and notes. If this is your usual way of giving, could you perhaps now consider paying by standing order? If you would like more information on this method of payment, please contact your church treasurer: St Peters - Velda Andrews Holy Trinity - Caro Mackay St Nicholas - John Young

The completed risk assessment for ‘opening churches for worship’ can be found on the Benefice website.

Hymns for Sunday 23rd August 2020

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim till all the world adore his sacred name.

1 Come, let us follow where our Captain trod, our King victorious, Christ the Son of God.

2 O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree, as thou hast promised, draw us unto thee.

3 Let every race and every language tell of him who saves our souls from death and hell.

4 Set up thy throne, that earth's despair may cease beneath the shadow of its healing peace.

5 For thy blest cross which doth for all atone creation's praises rise before thy throne.

Michael Robert Newbolt (1874-1956), George William Kitchin (1827-1912) © Holder untraced

Be still, for the presence of the Lord, the Holy One is here; come bow before Him now with reverence and fear. in Him no sin is found, we stand on holy ground; be still, for the presence of the Lord, the Holy One is here.

Be still, for the glory of the Lord is shining all around; He burns with holy fire, with splendour He is crowned. How awesome is the sight, our radiant King of light! Be still, for the glory of the Lord is shining all around.

Be still, for the power of the Lord is moving in this place; He comes to cleanse and heal, to minister His grace. No work too hard for Him, in faith receive from Him; be still, for the power of the Lord is moving in this place.

***************************************************************************************************

1 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! early in the morning our song shall rise to thee; holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty! God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity!

2 Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore thee, casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee, which wert and art and evermore shalt be.

3 Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide thee, though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see, only thou art holy, there is none beside thee perfect in power, in love, and purity.

4 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God almighty! all thy works shall praise thy name in earth and sky and sea; holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty! God in three Persons, blessed Trinity.

Reginald Heber (1783-1826)

1 All creatures of our God and King lift up your voice and with us sing, Alleluia, alleluia. Thou burning sun with golden beam, thou silver moon with softer gleam, O praise him, O praise him, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

2 Thou rushing wind that art so strong, ye clouds that sail in heaven along, O praise him, alleluia. Thou rising morn, in praise rejoice, ye lights of evening, find a voice; Chorus

3 Thou flowing water, pure and clear, make music for thy Lord to hear, Alleluia, alleluia. Thou fire so masterful and bright, that givest us both warmth and light: Chorus

4 Let all things their creator bless, and worship him in humbleness; O praise him, alleluia. Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son, and praise the Spirit, Three in One; Chorus

William Henry Draper (1855-1933) based on Laudato sii, O me signore St Francis of Assisi's Canticle of the Sun
