The Story of God’s People
A READING FROM THE SECOND BOOK OF
SAMUEL 11: 26 - 12: 13a
read by Esma Brathwaite
When the wife of Uriah heard that her husband was
dead, she made lamentation for him. When the
mourning was over, David sent and brought her to

3. his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a
son. But the thing that David had done displeased
the Lord, 1and the Lord sent Nathan to David. He
came to him, and said to him, “There were two men
in a certain city, the one rich and the other poor. The
rich man had very many flocks and herds; but the
poor man had nothing but one little ewe lamb, which
he had bought. He brought it up, and it grew up
with him and with his children; it used to eat of his
meagre fare, and
drink from his cup, and lie in his bosom, and it was
like a daughter to him. Now there came a traveller to
the rich man, and he was loath to take one of his
own flock or herd to prepare for the wayfarer who
had come to him, but he took the poor man’s lamb,
and prepared that for the guest who had come to
him.” Then David’s anger was greatly kindled
against the man. He said to Nathan, “As the Lord
lives, the man who has done this deserves to die; he
shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this
thing, and because he had no pity.” Nathan said to
David, “You are the man! Thus says the Lord, the
God of Israel: I anointed you king over Israel, and I
rescued you from the hand of Saul; I gave you your
master’s house, and your master’s wives into your
bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of
Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have
added as much more. Why have you despised the
word of the Lord, to do what is evil in his sight? You
have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword,
and have taken his wife to be your wife, and
have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites.
Now therefore the sword shall never depart from

4. your house, for you have despised me, and have
taken the wife of Uriah
the Hittite to be your wife. Thus says the Lord: I will
raise up trouble against you from within your own
house; and I will take your wives before your eyes,
and give them to your neighbour, and he shall lie
with your wives in the sight of this very sun. For you
did it secretly; but I will do this thing before all
Israel,
and before the sun.” David said to Nathan, “I have
sinned against the Lord.”
Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s People:
Thanks be to God.
PSALM 51:1-13 (Please remain seated.)
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your loving-
kindness;
in your great compassion blot out my
offences.
Wash me through and through from my
wickedness
and cleanse me from my sin.
For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
Against you only have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight.
And so you are justified when you speak
and upright in your judgement.
Indeed, I have been wicked from my birth,
a sinner from my mother’s womb.
For behold, you look for truth deep within me,
and will make me understand wisdom secretly.
Purge me from my sin, and I shall be pure;

5. wash me, and I shall be clean indeed.
Make me hear of joy and gladness,
that the body you have broken may rejoice.
Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence
and take not your holy Spirit from me.
Give me the joy of your saving help again
and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son:
and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be:
world without end. Amen.
A READING FROM THE LETTER OF PAUL TO THE EPHESIANS 4:
1-16
read by Teresa Johnson
I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead
a life worthy of the calling to which you have been
called, with all humility and gentleness, with
patience, bearing with one another in love, making
every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the
bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just
as you were called to the one hope of your calling,
one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and
Father of all, who is above all and through all and in
all. But each of us was given grace according to the
measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore it is said, “When
he ascended on high he made captivity itself a
captive; he gave gifts to his people.” (When it says,
“He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had

6. also descended into the lower parts of the earth? He
who descended is the same one who ascended far
above all the heavens, so that he might fill all
things.) The gifts he gave were that some would be
apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some
pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the
work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,
until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of
the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the
measure of the full stature of Christ. We must no
longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown
about by every wind of doctrine, by people’s
trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming.
But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in
every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from
whom the whole body, joined and knit together by
every ligament with which it is equipped, as each
part is working
properly, promotes the body’s growth in building
itself up in love.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s People:
Thanks be to God.
The Gospel
The Lord be with you: And also with you.
The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to
John 6: 24-35.
Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his
disciples were there, they themselves got into the
boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

7. When they found him on the other side of the sea,
they said to him, “Rabbi, when
did you come here?” Jesus answered them, “Very
truly, I tell you, you are looking for me, not because
you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the
loaves. Do not work for the food
that perishes, but for the food that endures for
eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it
is on him that God the Father has set his seal.” Then
they said to him, “What must we
do to perform the works of God?” Jesus answered
them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in
him whom he has sent.” So they said to him, “What
sign are you going to give us then, so that we may
see it and believe you? What work are you
performing? Our ancestors ate the manna in the
wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread
from heaven to eat.’” Then Jesus said to them, “Very
truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the
bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives
you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of
God is that which comes down from heaven and
gives life to the world.” They said to him, “Sir, give
us this bread always.” Jesus said to them, “I am the
bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be
hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be
thirsty.”

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE HYMNS?
Over the next few weeks I’ll be working on the choosing of
music (hymns, anthems, organ music, etc.) for the September to
Christmas period, and would appreciate your input, especially
hymn recommendations. Do you have favourites that we
haven’t sung for a while? Please let me know. There’s a sheet
at the back of the church on which you can write them down
(anonymously if you prefer), and I’ll do my best to incorporate
them into a service this fall/early winter.
Selecting hymns for services isn’t just a process of
plucking them out of the air (although sometimes in desperation
this is the case!). I try, as far as possible, to link them to the
gospel and other readings of the day. To choose them in
advance for a period of 3 or 4 months is a task that takes many
hours of reading the lessons, ruminating, researching and
juggling so that there is a good balance of old and new, familiar
and unfamiliar, and so on. Over the past couple of years we’ve
been introduced to several hymns new to St. Barnabas’
congregation, and this will continue. Eventually, these new
hymns often become old favourites! Your help in this will be
appreciated!

SUMMER SATURDAYS
The Saturday concert series continues next week (August 11th)
with jazz pianist Kevin Henkel and percussionist Sidnei Santos.
It begins at 12:30 PM and lasts about 45 minutes.

12. The final concert in the series will feature our own Fiona
Strachan on August 18th at 12:30 PM.
There will also be a bake sale on August 18th.
There will be no concert on Saturday August 25th.
The Organ
We’re very excited that phase one of the planned organ
restoration has begun. The work will take approximately three
more weeks and will involve major repairs and cleaning
(something that hasn’t been done in several decades). We
should be able to use at least part of the instrument during this
period; if not, the piano will be brought into action. So please,
bear with us for the next few weeks or so.
Neil is happy to answer any questions you might have
(if he can!). Feel free to speak to him following the service, or
you can email him at nshoulton@gmail.com.
