The Proclamation of the Word
A READING FROM THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH
Read by Teresa Johnson
Hear the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all the families of
the house of Israel. Thus says the Lord: What wrong did your
ancestors find in me that they went far from me, and went after
worthless things, and became worthless themselves? They did not
say, “Where is the Lord who brought us up from the land of Egypt,
who led us in the wilderness, in a land of deserts and pits, in a land
of drought and deep darkness, in a land that no one passes through,
where no one lives?” I brought you into a plentiful land to eat its
fruits and its good things. But when you entered you defiled my
land, and made my heritage an abomination. The priests did not say,
“Where is the Lord?” Those who handle the law did not know me;
the rulers transgressed against me; the prophets prophesied
by Baal, and went after things that do not profit. Therefore once
more I accuse you, says the Lord, and I accuse your children’s
children. Cross to the coasts of Cyprus and look, send to Kedar
and examine with care; see if there has ever been such a thing. Has
a nation changed its gods, even though they are no gods? But my
people have changed their glory for something that does not
profit. Be appalled, O heavens, at this, be shocked, be utterly
desolate, says the Lord, for my people have committed two evils:
they have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and dug out
cisterns for themselves, cracked cisterns that can hold no water.
JEREMIAH 2:4–13
The word of the Lord: Thanks be to God.
PSALM 81: 1, 10-16 (said responsively)
Sing with joy to God our strength
and raise a loud shout to the God of Jacob.
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land
of Egypt and said,
“Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.”
And yet my people did not hear my voice,
and Israel would not obey me.
So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their hearts,
to follow their own devices.
Oh, that my people would listen to me!
that Israel would walk in my ways!
I should soon subdue their enemies
and turn my hand against their foes.
Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him,
and their punishment would last for ever.
But Israel would I feed with the finest wheat
and satisfy him with honey from the rock.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son:
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be:
world without end Amen.
A READING FROM THE LETTER TO THE HEBREWS
Read by Esma Brathwaite

3. Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to
strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without
knowing it. Remember those who are in prison, as though you
were in prison with them; those who are being tortured, as though
you yourselves were being tortured. Let marriage be held in
honour by all, and let the marriage bed be kept undefiled; for God
will judge fornicators and adulterers. Keep your lives free from the
love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has
said, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” So we can say with
confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can
anyone do to me?” Remember your leaders, those who spoke the
word of God to you; consider the outcome of their way of life,
and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today
and forever. Through him, then, let us continually offer a sacrifice
of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name. Do
not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such
sacrifices are pleasing to God. HEBREWS 13:1–8, 15–16
The word of the Lord: Thanks be to God.
Gradual Hymn 592 “Where cross the crowded ways of life”
The Gospel
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.
On one occasion when Jesus was going to the house of a leader of
the Pharisees to eat a meal on the sabbath, they were watching him
closely. When he noticed how the guests chose the places of
honour, he told them a parable. “When you are invited by
someone to a wedding banquet, do not sit down at the place of
honour, in case someone more distinguished than you has been
invited by your host; and the host who invited both of you may
come and say to you, ‘Give this person your place,’ and then in
disgrace you would start to take the lowest place. But when you
are invited, go and sit down at the lowest place, so that when your
host comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher’; then you
will be honoured in the presence of all who sit at the table with
you. For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who
humble themselves will be exalted.”
He said also to the one who had invited him, “When you give a
luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers
or your relatives or rich neighbours, in case they may invite you in
return, and you would be repaid. But when you give a banquet,
invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will
be blessed, because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at
the resurrection of the righteous.” LUKE 14:1, 7–14
Gospeller: The Gospel of Christ:
All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer of Confession p. 239
Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of
all things and judge of all people: We acknowledge and
confess our manifold sins and wickedness, Which from time
to time most grievously have committed, By thought, word
and deed, Against thy divine majesty. We do earnestly
repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings. Have
mercy upon us, most merciful Father; For thy Son our Lord
Jesus Christ’s sake, Forgive us all that is past; And grant
that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee In newness
of life, To the honour and glory of thy name; Through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer (sung) McNeil Robinson
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
Celebrant: “I am the bread of life,” says the Lord.
“Whoever comes to me will never be hungry;
whoever believes in me will never thirst.”
All: Taste and see that the Lord is good;
happy are they who trust in him!
Prayer after Communion: Almighty God, you renew us at your
table with the bread of life. May your holy food strengthen us
in love and help us to serve you in each other. We ask this in
the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Doxology (All stand as able)
Presider: Glory to God,
All: whose power, working in us,
can do infinitely more
than we can ask or imagine.
Glory to God from generation to generation,
in the Church and in Christ Jesus,
for ever and ever. Amen.
