10.30 THE PARISH MASS
Opening Hymn NEH 499
Thy Kingdom come, O God,
Thy rule, O Christ, begin;
Break with Thine iron rod
The tyrannies of sin.
Where is Thy reign of peace,
And purity, and love?
When shall all hatred cease,
As in the realms above?
When comes the promised time
That war shall be no more—
Oppression, lust, and crime,
Shall flee Thy face before?
We pray Thee, Lord, arise,
And come in Thy great might;
Revive our longing eyes,
Which languish for Thy sight.
Men scorn Thy sacred Name,
And wolves devour Thy fold;
By many deeds of shame
We learn that love grows cold.
O’er heathen lands afar
Thick darkness broodeth yet:
Arise, O Morning Star,
Arise, and never set!
℣ In the name of the Father, and of the Son, ✠ and of the Holy Spirit.
℟ Amen.

The Gloria
Glory be to God in heaven,
songs of joy and peace we bring,
thankful hearts and voices raising,
to creation’s Lord we sing:
Lord, we thank you, Lord, we bless you,
glory be to God our King,
glory be to God our King.
Lamb of God, who on your shoulders
bore the load of this world’s sin,
only Son of God the Father,
you have brought us peace within:
Lord, have mercy, Christ have mercy,
now your glorious reign begin,
now your glorious reign begin.
You, O Son of God, are holy,
you we praise with one accord;
none in heav’n or earth is like you,
only you are Christ the Lord –
with the Father, and the Spirit,
ever worshipped and adored,
ever worshipped and adored.
The Collect
O God, protector of those who hope in you,
without whom nothing has firm foundation,
nothing is holy, bestow in abundance your mercy upon us
and grant that, with you as our ruler and guide,
we may use the good things that pass
in such a way as to hold fast even now
to those that ever endure.
Through our lord Jesus Christ, your son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
R. Amen
First Reading (Reference: 2 Kings 2:42-44)
Theme: They will eat and have some left over.
A man came from Baal-shalishah, bringing Elisha, the man of God, bread from the first-fruits, twenty barley loaves and fresh grain in the ear. Give it to the people to eat, Elisha said. But his servant replied, How can I serve this to a hundred men? Give it to the people to eat he insisted for the Lord says this, They will eat and have some left over. He served them; they ate and had some over, as the Lord had said.

Gospel (Reference: John 6:1-15)
Theme: Jesus gave out as much as was wanted to all who were sitting ready.
℣. The Lord be with you
℟ And with your spirit.
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John
✠ Glory to you, O Lord.
Jesus went off to the other side of the Sea of Galilee - or of Tiberias - and a large crowd followed him, impressed by the signs he gave by curing the sick. Jesus climbed the hillside, and sat down there with his disciples. It was shortly before the Jewish feast of Passover. Looking up, Jesus saw the crowds approaching and said to Philip, 'Where can we buy some bread for these people to eat?' He only said this to test Philip; he himself knew exactly what he was going to do. Philip answered, 'Two hundred denarii would only buy enough to give them a small piece each.' One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said, 'There is a small boy here with five barley loaves and two fish; but what is that between so many?' Jesus said to them, 'Make the people sit down.' There was plenty of grass there, and as many as five thousand men sat down. Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and gave them out to all who were sitting ready; he then did the same with the fish, giving out as much as was wanted. When they had eaten enough he said to the disciples, 'Pick up the pieces left over, so that nothing gets wasted.' So they picked them up, and filled twelve hampers with scraps left over from the meal of five barley loaves. The people, seeing this sign that he had given, said, 'This really is the prophet who is to come into the world.' Jesus, who could see they were about to come and take him by force and make him king, escaped back to the hills by himself.
℣ The Gospel of the Lord.
℟ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Please sit for the Address and then stand for the Creed and Prayer of the Faithful
The Creed
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Offertory Hymn 19
All hail the power of Jesus’ Name!
Let angels prostrate fall, let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown Him Lord of all.
Crown Him, ye morning stars of light,
who fixed this floating ball;
Now hail the strength of Israel’s might,
and crown Him Lord of all.
Crown Him, ye martyrs of your God,
who from His altar call;
Extol the Stem of Jesse’s Rod,
and crown Him Lord of all.
Ye seed of Israel’s chosen race,
ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him Who saves you by His grace,
and crown Him Lord of all.
Hail Him, ye heirs of David’s line,
whom David Lord did call,
The God incarnate, Man divine,
and crown Him Lord of all,
Sinners, whose love can ne’er forget
the wormwood and the gall,
Go spread your trophies at His feet,
and crown Him Lord of all..
Let every tribe and every tongue
before Him prostrate fall
And shout in universal song
the crownèd Lord of all.

The Post Communion Prayer
Post Communion Hymn 40
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun
