Recalling his death, proclaiming his resurrection, and looking for his coming again in glory, we offer you, Father, this bread and this cup. Send your Holy Spirit upon us and upon these gifts, that all who eat and drink at this table may be one body and one holy people, a living sacrifice in Jesus Christ, our Lord. Through Christ, with Christ, and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory is yours, almighty Father, now and forever. Amen.
Our Father…
We break this bread,… to share in the body of Christ.
We, being many, are one body, for we all share in the one bread.
O Lamb of God, who takest away the sin of the world: Have mercy upon us (repeat).
O Lamb of God, who takest away the sin of the world: Grant us thy peace.
Holy Communion
All people are most welcome to come forward to receive God’s Blessing. Those baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are invited to receive His gift to His people: Holy Communion. Those who choose not to partake of either Bread or Wine because they have not been baptized, or for any other reason, are invited to cross their arms over their chests and be reminded of our Lord’s unaccountable love for all people, regardless of their situation. Do know how welcome you are to join us.
Music during Holy Communion
Lamb of God
Your only Son no sin to hideBut You have sent Him from Your side
To walk upon this guilty sod
And to become the Lamb of God
Chorus
Oh Lamb of God sweet Lamb of God
I love the holy Lamb of God
Oh wash me in His precious blood
My Jesus Christ the Lamb of God / Your gift of love they crucified
They laughed and scorned Him as He died
The humble King they named a fraud
And sacrificed the Lamb of God
I was so lost I should have died
But You have brought me to Your side
To be led by Your staff and rod
And to be called a lamb of God
Jesus, name above all names
Jesus, name above all names
Beautiful Savior, glorious Lord.
Emmanuel, God is with us.
Blessed Redeemer, Living word.

St. Mark’s has a deep heart for our ministry with children and their families. In a world full of judgement and oppression we wish to bless them, and introduce them to a Lord of love and goodness. Living well and generously is hard work, and learning the basics is essential. Saying grace at meals, the Lord’s Prayer, learning about Jesus, and who He is and what He did and does: it all helps to form the character of our children – and ourselves.
We need someone, or a team, to lead our Children’s’ ministry. And so we need to pray that someone will come forward to do so: that we might continue what we have begun: to bless our children, and their families, through the gift of Jesus Christ.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, you sent your Son Jesus Christ our Lord amongst us, that we might learn of you, and the love you have for us. In a harsh and difficult world we pray you would raise up teachers and leaders for our children’s ministry, that we might continue to offer that which you have given us: Good News in Jesus Christ. We pray that you will open our eyes and our hearts to discern who it is who will come to us, that our children and those not yet with us might be blessed by their ministry. Send, we pray, your Spirit to them that they will come to us, that together we might honour that which you have begun here so many years ago: a community committed to offering, and hearing, hope and life in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Final Blessing
May the peace of God, which passes all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and glory of God; and the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, be upon you and remain with you and all those for whom you have prayed, this day and always. Amen.
The Recessional Hymn: #397 Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness
The Dismissal
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. All Thanks be to God!

Our Sunday school has finished for the summer. Child care is available in the Parish Hall during the service, but one parent must be present with our child care giver to support her with the children. Please, if you send your child (ren) over, ensure that you and the other parents work out between yourselves who will remain in the Parish Hall. We hope to have Sunday School up again very soon.

Processional – #341 God of Mercy, God of Grace
Welcome, and we give thanks for all we are, in Jesus Christ!
We are deeply pleased to have you worship with us this morning!
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship
of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. And also with you.
We pause, in silence, and then begin in prayer, standing:
Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hidden. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Gloria in Excelsis
GLORY be to God on high, and in earth peace, good will towards men. We praise thee, we bless thee, we worship thee, we glorify thee, we give thanks to thee for thy great glory, O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty.
O Lord, the only-begotten Son, Jesu Christ; O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, that takest away the sin of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou that takest away the sin of the world, receive our prayer. Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father, have mercy upon us.
For thou only art holy; thou only art the Lord; thou only, O Christ, with the Holy Ghost, art most high in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
the collect
LET thy merciful ears, O Lord, be open to the prayers of thy humble servants; and that they may obtain their petitions make them to ask such things as shall please thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The First Reading:Ephesians 6:10-18(p.1146 in pew Bible)
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.

Psalm 67 Deus misereatur
1 May God be merciful to us and bless us, *
show us the light of his countenance and come to us.
2 Let your ways be known upon earth, *
your saving health among all nations.
3 Let the peoples praise you, O God; *
let all the peoples praise you.
4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, *
for you judge the peoples with equityand guide all the nations upon earth.
5 Let the peoples praise you, O God; *
let all the peoples praise you.
6 The earth has brought forth her increase; *
may God, our own God, give us his blessing.
7 May God give us his blessing, *
and may all the ends of the earth stand in awe of him.
The Second Reading:Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32 (p.1107 in pew Bible)
I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew.
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. Just as you were once disobedient to God but have now received mercy because of their disobedience, so they have now been disobedient in order that, by the mercy shown to you, they too may now receive mercy. For God has imprisoned all in disobedience so that he may be merciful to all.

The Gradual Hymn: # 543Unto the Hills around do I lift up
The Holy Gospel: Matthew 15:10 -28(p.948 in pew Bible) Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ
Jesus called the crowd to him and said to them, “Listen and understand: it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles.” Then the disciples approached and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard what you said?” He answered, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if one blind person guides another, both will fall into a pit.” But Peter said to him, “Explain this parable to us.” Then he said, “Are you also still without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth enters the stomach, and goes out into the sewer? But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this is what defiles. For out of the heart come evil intentions, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander. These are what defile a person, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile.”
Jesus left that place and went away to the district of Tyre and Sidon. Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came out and started shouting, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is tormented by a demon.” But he did not answer her at all. And his disciples came and urged him, saying, “Send her away, for she keeps shouting after us.” He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” But she came and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.” He answered, “It is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.” She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.” Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed instantly.

Sermon –The Rector
The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again 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.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
