The Proclamation of the Word
A READING FROM THE FIRST BOOK OF JEREMIAH
Read by Michael Miller
My joy is gone, grief is upon me, my heart is sick. Hark, the cry of
my poor people from far and wide in the land: Is the Lord not in
Zion? Is her King not in her? (“Why have they provoked
me to anger with their images, with their foreign idols?”) The
harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.” For
the hurt of my poor people I am hurt, I mourn, and dismay has
taken hold of me. Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no
physician there? Why then has the health of my poor people not
been restored? O that my head were a spring of water, and my
eyes a fountain of tears, so that I might weep day and night for the
slain of my poor people! JEREMIAH 8:18—9:1
The word of the Lord: Thanks be to God.
PSALM 79: 1-9 (Please remain seated for the psalm.)
O God, the heathen have come into your inheritance / they have
profaned your holy tem-ple; *
they have made Jerusalem a heap of rub-ble.
They have given the bodies of your servants as food for the
birds of the air, *
and the flesh of your faithful ones to the beasts of the field.
They have shed their blood like water on every side of
Je-ru-sa-lem, *
and there was no one to bu-ry them.
We have become a reproach to our neigh-bors, *
an object of scorn and derision to those a-round us.
How long will you be angry O LORD? *
will your fury blaze like fire for e-ver?
Pour out your wrath upon the heathen who have not known you *
and upon the kingdoms that have not call’d u-pon your Name.
For they have devoured Ja-cob *
and made his dwel-ling a ru-in.
Remember not our past sins / let your compassion be swift
to meet us; *
for we have been brought ve-ry low.
Help us O God our Savior for the glory of your Name; *
deliver us and forgive us our sins for your Name’s sake.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son:

3. and to the Ho-ly Spi-rit.
As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be:
world without end. Amen
A READING FROM THE FIRST LETTER OF PAUL TO TIMOTHY
Read by Sheila Miller
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all who are
in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in
all godliness and dignity. This is right and is acceptable in the sight
of God our Saviour, who desires everyone to be saved and to
come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God; there is
also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus,
himself human, who gave himself a ransom for all—this was
attested at the right time. For this I was appointed a herald and an
apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the
Gentiles in faith and truth. 1 TIMOTHY 2:1–7
The word of the Lord: Thanks be to God.
Gospel Alleluia
Choir: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
All: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Cantor: Live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel
of Christ: strive side by side for the faith of the
gospel.
All: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Gospeller: The Lord be with you.
All: And also with you.
Gospeller: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to Luke.
All: Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Then Jesus said to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a
manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was
squandering his property. So he summoned him and said to him,
‘What is this that I hear about you? Give me an accounting of your
management, because you cannot be my manager any longer.’
Then the manager said to himself, ‘What will I do,
now that my master is taking the position away from me? I am not
strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. I have decided
what to do so that, when I am dismissed as manager, people may
welcome me into their homes.’ So, summoning his master’s
debtors one by one, he asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my
master?’ He answered, ‘A hundred jugs of olive oil.’ He said to
him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it fifty.’ Then he
asked another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ He replied, ‘A
hundred containers of wheat.’ He said to him,
‘Take your bill and make it eighty.’ And his master commended
the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the
children of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own
generation than are the children of light. And I tell you, make
friends for yourselves by means of dishonest wealth so that when
it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal homes. Whoever
is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is
dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. If then you
have not been faithful with the dishonest wealth, who will entrust
to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful with what
belongs to another, who will give you what is
your own? No slave can serve two masters; for a slave will either
hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and
despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”

All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

4. Prayer of Confession
Most merciful God
we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
Have mercy on us and forgive us,
that we may delight in your will,
and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your name. Amen.
Almighty God have mercy upon you,
pardon and deliver you from all your sins,
confirm and strengthen you in all goodness,
and keep you in eternal life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
The Exchange of the Peace
(We greet and exchange the Peace of Christ with our
neighbours.)
The Celebration of the Eucharist
All who are baptized into Christ with water in the Name of the
Holy Trinity are welcome to receive Holy Communion. If you
will not be receiving, you are invited to come to the Communion
rail for a blessing. Please indicate this by crossing your arms.
Offertory Hymn “Dear Lord and Father of mankind”
(Repton)
Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
Forgive our foolish ways;
Reclothe us in our rightful mind,
In purer lives Thy service find,
In deeper reverence, praise.
In simple trust like theirs who heard,
Beside the Syrian sea,
The gracious calling of the Lord,
Let us, like them, without a word,
Rise up and follow Thee.
O Sabbath rest by Galilee,
O calm of hills above,
Where Jesus knelt to share with Thee
The silence of eternity,
Interpreted by love!
With that deep hush subduing all
Our words and works that drown
The tender whisper of Thy call,
As noiseless let Thy blessing fall
As fell Thy manna down.
Drop Thy still dews of quietness,
Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of Thy peace.
Breathe through the heats of our desire
Thy coolness and Thy balm;
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm.

5. (During this hymn the gifts of bread and wine are presented
and a collection is taken up.)
Prayer over the Gifts: God of power, the glory of your works
fills us with wonder and awe. Accept our offering this day,
and help us to live in peace and harmony with all your
creation, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Eucharistic Prayer 1 p. 193
The Lord’s Prayer (sung)
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name,
your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from evil,
For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and for
ever. Amen.
The Breaking of the Bread
Presider: “Creator of all, you gave us golden fields of
wheat, whose many grains have been gathered
and made into this one bread.”
All: “So may your Church be gathered from the
ends of the earth into your kingdom.”
Communion Hymn 439 “Blest are the pure in heart”
(Franconia)
Doxology (All stand as able)
Presider: Glory to God,
All: whose power, working in us,
can do infinitely more

6. Music Notes:
This morning we are introducing something new – a different
musical setting of those parts of the communion service that are
sung by the whole congregation. There are a couple of reasons
for this. The first is a desire to ‘set apart’ the penitential seasons
of Advent and Lent, during which we’ll use the New Plainsong
setting by David Hurd, and use the new one on all other non-
BCP Sundays. Secondly, it is always a good thing to learn new
music that will provide some variety in our worship. Given that
Anglicans don’t easily embrace change (generally speaking, of
course!), we’re asking that you give this music a chance to enter
your hearts and minds. For the first few weeks we’ll use only
the Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei from this service,
continuing with the New Plainsong Kyrie and Gloria. After
everyone is comfortable with those we’ll introduce you to the
Kyrie and Gloria.
The composer of the Holy Trinity Communion Service is
Christopher Tambling, born in England in 1964. After early
organ studies in Sussex, he went on to gain organ scholarships
to Canterbury Cathedral and St Peter's College, Oxford; he was
also organist of Pusey House. Since 1997 he has been the
Director of Music at Downside School near Bath. He is Organist
and Master of the Schola Cantorum of Downside Abbey, a 90-
strong choir of boys and girls drawn from the school, which
regularly sings for services, recordings and concerts. Tambling
is much in demand as a composer of accessible church and
organ music, and has undertaken many commissions for schools
and churches. He is a fellow of the Royal College of Organists.

8. COME TO CHURCH SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29th
Whom are you inviting next Sunday?
Inviting someone to come with you to church sounds like an easy
thing to do, but in fact it isn’t as easy as it sounds. There are
blockages we can come up against.
We can feel unequal to answering the challenging questions we
might be asked; extending an invitation can open up sensitive life
issues we don’t feel equal to tackling.
And underlying all of them there is the fear of rejection,
and what might happen to our relationship.
Is it really worth the risk? Well yes, I believe it is. I believe we can
actually grow in our faith by facing our fears and probing into the
discomfort level we may be feeling when it comes to extending an
invitation.
Let’s try to open up these blockages. First of all, we’re not being
asked to explain the world or to make excuses for God. All we’re
being asked to do is to invite a special person, who trusts us, whom
we know, to come with us to church. If asked, we can say in a few
words what belonging means to us, and leave it at that. We don’t
have to persuade or twist arms.
Success is one person inviting another person – and leaving the
answer up to them and God. All we need to do is invite, and provide
the opportunity. Remember Jesus’s reply to those who first came to
him with lots of questions: he told them come along with me and see.
“Come and see.” That’s our answer too.
And of course we need to pray – for ourselves and those we wish to
invite. Here’s a starter prayer:
Welcoming God, thank you life.
Thank you for making us and loving us.
Thank you for inviting us to know you.
Help us invite (your friend, family member, colleague’ name) to
St Barnabas so we can all grow in knowledge and love of you.
This we ask through Jesus your Son. Amen.
Next Sunday YOU are invited!
