We meet together anticipating God’s blessing on the years ahead. At the beginning of any new ministry, a priest is appointed to their new role in a service that gives the community an opportunity to welcome them, and allows priest and people to commit themselves to the ministry ahead and to pray for God’s leading in it. Some features of this service have their origins in the Middle Ages; others are comparatively new. This reminds us both that Christian ministry has been offered for centuries, and that the unchanging Gospel has to be proclaimed afresh for each succeeding generation. The ministry to which James is being appointed is to the parishes and the wider community. The role of the Anglican parish priest is to care for the whole community and also to nurture the faithful. He works with all those in the local community, whether they are people of faith or not. Therefore within this service, the welcome is made by both church people and representatives of the wider community. In this service, James is presented to the Bishop and then presented to the community by the Bishop. The Bishop will remind James of the responsibility for the care of the churches which is shared with the Bishop and Incumbent. The Archdeacon will install James giving him day to day oversight for St Mark’s. James is then welcomed by representatives of the churches and the wider community. - 3 - About the Reverend James Curry Fr James trained for the priesthood at Ripon College Cuddesdon near Oxford and was ordained in Birmingham Cathedral in 1993. He served two curacies in the Birmingham Diocese. He was appointed Team Vicar in Jarrow in the Diocese of Durham, Rector of three rural churches in Aberdeenshire for seven and a half years and for the last four years Priest-in-Charge of two churches near Huddersfield. James is married to Alice who is a Methodist Local Preacher. Music at this service The organist is John Marriot, Director of Music at St Peter & St Paul, Mansfield. The singing is led by the joint choirs of Mansfield St Peter & St Paul and Mansfield St Mark. - 4 - Order of Service The Gathering and Introduction A welcome from the Revd David Fudger, Vicar of Mansfield St Peter & St Paul and Mansfield St Mark. Processional Hymn Please stand to sing Lord, for the years Your love has kept and guided, Urged and inspired us, cheered us on our way, Sought us and saved us, pardoned and provided, Lord of the years, we bring our thanks today. Lord, for that word, The word of life which fires us, Speaks to our hearts and sets our souls ablaze, Teaches and trains, rebukes us and inspires us, Lord of the word, receive Your people's praise. Lord, for our land In this our generation, Spirits oppressed by pleasure, wealth and care; For young and old, for commonwealth and nation, Lord of our land, be pleased to hear our prayer. Lord, for our world, When we disown and doubt Him, Loveless in strength, and comfortless in pain; Hungry and helpless, lost indeed without Him, Lord of the world, we pray that Christ may reign. Lord for ourselves; In living power remake us, Self on the cross and Christ upon the throne; Past put behind us, for the future take us, Lord of our lives, to live for Christ alone. - 5 - Greeting Please remain standing The Bishop says: Grace, mercy and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you And also with you Please sit The Bishop brings his greetings and introduces the service. Then we all pray: God our Father, Lord of all the world, we thank you that through your Son you have called us into the fellowship of your universal Church: hear our prayer for your faithful people that in their vocation and ministry each may be an instrument of your love: and give to your servant, James, the needful gifts of grace; through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. Presentation The Archdeacon leads the priest to stand before the Bishop who is seated in his chair. The Archdeacon says Bishop, I present James to be licensed as Associate Priest at St Peter & St Paul and St Mark, Mansfield. The Declaration of Assent and Oaths Registrar The Church of England is part of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, worshipping the one true God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It professes the faith uniquely revealed in the Holy Scriptures and set forth in the catholic Creeds, which faith the Church is called upon to proclaim afresh in each generation. Led by the Holy Spirit, it has borne witness to Christian truth in its historic formularies, the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, the Book of Common Prayer and the ordering of Bishops, Priests and Deacons. In the declaration you are about to make, will you affirm - 6 - your loyalty to this inheritance of faith as your inspiration and guidance under God in bringing the grace and truth of Christ to this generation and making him known to those in your care? Priest I, James Sebastian Curry, do so affirm, and accordingly declare my belief in the faith which is revealed in the holy Scriptures and set forth in the catholic Creeds, and to which the historic formularies of the Church of England bear witness; and in public prayer and administration of the Sacraments I will use only the forms of service authorised or allowed by Canon. Taking a New Testament, the Priest faces the people and says I swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, her heirs and successors according to law; so help me God. Turning to the Bishop, the Priest says I swear by almighty God that I will pay true and canonical obedience to the Bishop of Southwell & Nottingham and his successors, in all things lawful and honest; so help me God. Please remain seated as the Declarations are signed. Song Please stand to sing 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 - 7 - 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 Please remain standing The Gospel Reading John 21:15-17 Hear the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John Glory to you, O Lord Jesus and Peter When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my lambs.’ A second time he said to him, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Tend my sheep.’ He said to him the third time, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me?’ Peter felt hurt because he said to him the third time, ‘Do you love me?’ And he said to him, ‘Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my sheep.’ This is the gospel of the Lord Praise to you, O Christ Please sit The Sermon The Rt Revd Tony Porter, Bishop of Sherwood. - 8 - The Licensing The Priest stands before the Bishop Bishop Dearly beloved in the Lord, the Declaration of Assent, the Oaths of Allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen, and the Oaths of Canonical Obedience to the Bishop having been taken and subscribed before us as the law requires: we propose now in the name of God, and in the presence of this congregation, to licence to the benefice Mansfield St Peter and St Paul and Mansfield St Mark, our well-beloved in Christ, James, and we ask you to join together with us in prayer to Almighty God, that he would grant to his servant grace to perform his solemn duties aright.

    Wednesday 16Th October 2019 Dear Friends, Following My Recent Announcement That the Venerable David Picken Will Be Moving on In

    Wednesday 16th October 2019 Dear Friends, Following my recent announcement that the Venerable David Picken will be moving on in mid-January 2020 to take up his new appointment as the Archdeacon of Lancaster, I can now confirm the interim arrangements which will enable a smooth transition until a new archdeacon is appointed. The Revd Canon Mark Adams, Vicar of the Beck & Trent Benefice and currently Area Dean for Southwell & Newark in the Newark Archdeaconry, has agreed to be interim Assistant Archdeacon for the Newark archdeaconry with a particular focus on providing support to Area Deans as well as in managing the appointment process with parishes in vacancy. The Venerable Phil Williams, Archdeacon of Nottingham, will support the Newark Archdeaconry in relation to any statutory archidiaconal matters that arise, though Mark will be the first point of contact. I am pleased to let you know that The Revd Andrew Porter, Vicar of Holy Trinity Church, Southwell will act as Assistant Area Dean for Newark & Southwell during this interim period. There will be a handover period for David, Mark and Andrew through December, prior to David’s last day on 16th January. Please note that there will be a Farewell Service in Southwell Minster on Wednesday 15th January, at 7.30pm, to give thanks for David’s ministry in the diocese and pray for him and Cathy as they prepare for God’s new calling for them to serve in the Diocese of Blackburn. May I take this opportunity to express my thanks to both Mark and Andrew for the gifts they will bring during this interim period.

    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.

    Trinity 14 20

    A very warm welcome to all our visitors, especially if you are visiting us for the first time. There will be many of our church family who will not yet feel able to worship with us in church—though they will continue to join us as we live-stream the service as we have done for the last months. We are also much constrained in what we are able to do to ensure the safety of all who are present in the Priory today. It is mandatory to wear face masks in the Priory. You will be guided to your seats by a steward, and we ask you to take your seat in the pew to which you are guided. Unfortunately, singing is not yet permitted, so there will be no hymns, though we are able to appreciate the organ—and now the choral music. The collection plate will be at the back of Church or you can make an electronic payment, or join our Planned Giving Scheme. Holy Communion will be given (only in one kind) at the chancel step, please follow the direction of the stewards, and keep social distancing as you line up and return to your seat via the side aisles. At the end of the service, please wait, as we will be leaving church starting with the back rows first. (unless you wish to stay to the end of the organ voluntary.) Due to the new restrictions please do not socialise after the service. We continue to do all we can to ensure the safety of our congregation members, and are grateful for your patience as we work through these challenging times together as the people of God in this place.
