Blessed be God, the
holy and undivided Trinity, one God:
this is your world and we are your people;

The Deacon offers the Bidding and the Community
responds with the Kyrie.
When we have
willfully misused your gifts of creation:
Kyrie, Kyrie, eleison. [ii]
When we have seen
the ill-treatment of others
and have not gone
to their aid:
Kyrie, Kyrie, eleison.
When we have
condoned evil and dishonesty
and failed to
strive for justice:
Kyrie, Kyrie, eleison.
When we have heard
the good news of Christ
but have failed to
share it with others:
Kyrie, Kyrie, eleison.
When we have not
loved you with all our heart
nor our neighbours
as ourselves:
Kyrie, Kyrie, eleison.
The Collect of the Day
Let us pray.
O God our defender,
storms rage around and within us
and cause us to be afraid.
Rescue your people from despair,
deliver your sons and daughters from fear,
and preserve us in the faith of your Son,
Jesus Christ,
The
Proclamation of the Word
The First Reading
A reading from the First
Book of Kings (19.9-18).
19.8 At that place [Elijah] came to a cave, and spent the night there.
Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “What are you
doing here, Elijah?” 10 He
answered, “I have been very zealous for the Lord,
the God of hosts; for the Israelites have forsaken your covenant, thrown down
your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they
are seeking my life, to take it away.”
11 He said, “Go out and
stand on the mountain before the Lord,
for the Lord is about to pass by.”
Now there was a great wind, so strong
that it was splitting mountains and breaking rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake,
but the Lord was not in the
earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the
fire a sound of sheer silence. 13
When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood
at the entrance of the cave. Then there
came a voice to him that said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 14 He answered, “I have been very
zealous for the Lord, the God of
hosts; for the Israelites have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars,
and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they are seeking my life,
to take it away.” 15 Then the
Lord said to him, “Go, return on
your way to the wilderness of Damascus; when you arrive, you shall anoint
Hazael as king over Aram. 16
Also you shall anoint Jehu son of Nimshi as king over Israel; and you shall
anoint Elisha son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah as prophet in your place. 17 Whoever escapes from the sword
of Hazael, Jehu shall kill; and whoever escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha
shall kill. 18 Yet I will
leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and
every mouth that has not kissed him.”
Hear what the
Spirit is saying to the Church.
Thanks be to God.
The Psalm
Psalm 85.8-13 from Songs for the Holy One.
Refrain (sung twice): Holy
One, help us to listen and follow your teachings.
I will listen to
what God is says.
You surely speak of well-being for loving and
loyal people,
who do not turn
again to foolish ways.
Your saving help is near for those who revere
you,
that your glory may dwell in our land.
Refrain: Holy
One, help us to listen and follow your teachings.
Faithful love and
truth have met together;
true justice and well-being have kissed each
other.
Truth springs from
the earth;
true justice looks down from heaven.
Holy One, you will
indeed grant prosperity
and our land will
yield her harvests.
True justice goes before you
and prepares a pathway for your footsteps.
Refrain: Holy
One, help us to listen and follow your teachings.
The Second Reading
A reading Paul’s
Letter to the Romans (10.5-15).
10.5 Moses writes
concerning the righteousness that comes from the law, that “the person who does
these things will live by them.” 6
But the righteousness that comes from faith says, “Do not say in your heart,
‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down) 7
“or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the
dead).
8 But what does it say? “The
word is near you, on your lips and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith
that we proclaim); 9 because if you confess with your lips that
Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you
will be saved. 10 For one
believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth
and so is saved. 11 The
scripture says, “No one who believes in him will be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction
between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who
call on him. 13 For,
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
14 But how are they to
call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom
they have never heard? And how are they
to hear without someone to proclaim him? 15 And how are they to proclaim him
unless they are sent? As it is written,
“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
Hear what the
Spirit is saying to the Church.
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 Matthew (14.22-33).
Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
14.22 Immediately [Jesus]
made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, while
he dismissed the crowds. 23
And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up the mountain by himself to
pray. When evening came, he was there
alone, 24 but by this time the boat, battered by the waves, was far
from the land, for the wind was against them. 25 And early in the morning he came
walking toward them on the sea. 26
But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying,
“It is a ghost!” And they cried out in
fear. 27 But immediately
Jesus spoke to them and said, “Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.”
28 Peter answered him,
“Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” 29 He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat, started walking
on the water, and came toward Jesus. 30
But when he noticed the strong wind, he became frightened, and beginning to
sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31
Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, “You of
little faith, why did you doubt?” 32
When they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 And those in the boat worshiped
him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
The Gospel of
Christ.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer over the Gifts
Let us pray.
God of all creation,
all you
have made is good,
and your
love endures forever.
You
bring forth bread from the earth
and
fruit from the vine.
Nourish
us with these gifts,
so that
we might be for the world
signs of
your gracious presence in Jesus Christ,
our
Saviour and Lord. Amen. [v]
The Thanksgiving at the Table
The Lord be with you.
And also
with you.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift
them to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is
right to give our thanks and praise.
We give you thanks and praise, almighty God, for the
gift of a world full of wonder, and for our life which comes from you. By your power you sustain the universe.
Glory to
you for ever and ever.
You created us to love you with all our heart, and
to love each other as ourselves, but we rebel against you by the evil that we
do.
In Jesus, your Servant, you bring healing to our
world and gather us into one great family.
Therefore, with all who serve you on earth and in heaven, we praise your
wonderful name, as we sing,
Holy,
holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your
glory. Hosanna in the highest.
We give you thanks and praise, loving Creator,
because in sending Jesus, your Beloved, to us you showed us how much you love
us. He cares for the poor and the
hungry. He suffers with the sick and the
rejected.
Betrayed and forsaken, he did not strike back but
overcame hatred with love. On the cross
he defeated the power of sin and death.
By raising him from the dead you show us the power of your love to bring
new life to all your people.
Glory to
you for ever and ever.
On the night before he gave up his life for us,
Jesus, at supper with his friends, took bread, gave thanks to you, broke it,
and gave it to them, saying, “Take this, all of you, and eat it: this is my body which is given for you.”
After supper, Jesus took the cup of wine, said the
blessing, gave it to his friends, and said, “Drink this, all of you: this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the
new and eternal covenant, which is shed for you and for all people. Do this in memory of me.”
Glory to
you for ever and ever.
Gracious God, with this bread and wine we celebrate
the death and resurrection of Jesus, and we offer ourselves to you in him.
Send your Holy Spirit on us and on these gifts, so that we may know the presence of Jesus
in the breaking of bread, and share in the life of the family of your children.
Glory to
you for ever and ever.
Giver of life, you call us to be your servants; fill
us with the courage and love of Jesus, so that all the world may gather in joy
at the table of your kingdom.
We sing your praise, God our Creator, through Jesus,
our Lord, in the power of the Holy Spirit, now and for ever.
The Lord’s Prayer
As our Saviour
taught us, let us pray,
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 us 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
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.
These are the gifts
of God for the people of God.
Thanks be to God.

Forth of the Community

so that we may proclaim your redeeming love to the
world
and continue forever in the risen life of Jesus
Christ, our Lord. Amen. [viii]
Glory to God,
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.
