Hymn: TiS 597
1. Master, speak, thy servant heareth,
waiting for thy gracious word,
longing for thy voice that cheereth;
Master, let it now be heard.
I am listening, Lord, for thee:
what hast thou to say to me?
2. Speak to me by name, O Master,
let me know it is to me;
speak, that I may follow faster,
with a step more firm and free,
where the shepherd leads the flock
in the shadow of the rock.
3. Master, speak: and make me ready,
when thy voice is truly heard,
with obedience glad and steady
still to follow every word.
I am listening, Lord, for thee:
Master, speak, O speak to me!
3
Greeting: The Lord be with you.
AND ALSO WITH YOU. (see Ruth 2:4)
Sentence: Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present,
nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in
all creation, will be able to separate us from the love or God in Christ Jesus
our Lord. Romans 8.38-39
Prayer of Preparation:
As we gather as God's people let us pray together:
Almighty God,
to whom all hearts are open,
all desires known,
and from whom 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.
The Summary of the Commandments:
‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the
Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your
mind, and with all your strength.’ Jesus said: ‘This is the great and first
commandment. And a second is like it: you shall love your neighbour as
yourself.’

Kyrie eleison (Kew Setting)
The Confession
Let us confess our sins in penitence and faith, confident in God's
forgiveness.
Merciful God, our maker and our judge,
we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed,
and in what we have failed to do:
we have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves;
we repent, and are sorry for all our sins.
Father, forgive us.
Strengthen us to love and obey you
in newness of life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Absolution {Celebrant}
Almighty God, who has promised forgiveness to all who turn to him
in faith: pardon you and set you free from all your sins, strengthen
you in all goodness and keep you in eternal life, through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.

Prayer of the Day
O God, the fount of wisdom,
you have revealed to us in Christ
the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price:
grant us your Spirit's gift of discernment,
that, in the midst of the things of this world,
we may learn to value the priceless worth of your kingdom,
and be ready to renounce all else
for the sake of the precious gift you offer.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD
Readings from 'New Revised Standard Version' (NRSV)
First Reading: Genesis 29:15-28
15 Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my kinsman, should you
therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?" 16 Now
Laban had two daughters; the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of
the younger was Rachel. 17 Leah's eyes were lovely, and Rachel was graceful
and beautiful. 18 Jacob loved Rachel; so he said, "I will serve you seven years
for your younger daughter Rachel." 19 Laban said, "It is better that I give her to
you than that I should give her to any other man; stay with me." 20 So Jacob
served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because
of the love he had for her.
21 Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my
time is completed." 22 So Laban gathered together all the people of the place,
and made a feast. 23 But in the evening he took his daughter Leah and brought
her to Jacob; and he went in to her. 24 (Laban gave his maid Zilpah to his
daughter Leah to be her maid.) 25 When morning came, it was Leah! And
Jacob said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with
you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?" 26 Laban said, "This is not
done in our country--giving the younger before the firstborn. 27 Complete the
week of this one, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me
another seven years." 28 Jacob did so, and completed her week; then Laban
gave him his daughter Rachel as a wife.
Response: Hear the word of the Lord, THANKS BE TO GOD
7
Psalm: 105:1-8
1 O give thanks to the Lord and call upon his name:
tell among the peoples what things he has done.
2 Sing to him, O sing praises:
and be telling of all his marvellous works.
3 Exult in his holy name:
and let those that seek the Lord be joyful in heart.
4 Seek the Lord and his strength:
O seek his face continually.
5 Call to mind what wonders he has done:
his marvellous acts, and the judgements of his mouth,
6 O seed of Abraham his servant:
O children of Jacob his chosen one.
7 For he is the Lord our God:
and his judgements are in all the earth.
8 He has remembered his covenant for ever:
the word that he ordained for a thousand generations
8
Second Reading: Romans 8:26-39
26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how
to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for
words. 27 And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of
the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will
of God.
28 We know that all things work together for good for those who love
God, who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he
foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in
order that he might be the firstborn within a large family. 30 And those
whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also
justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified.
31 What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is
against us? 32 He who did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up for
all of us, will he not with him also give us everything else? 33 Who will
bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to
condemn? It is Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised, who is at the
right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. 35 Who will separate us
from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or
famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written,
"For your sake we are being killed all day long;
we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered."
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who
loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height,
nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us
from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Response: Hear the word of the Lord,
THANKS BE TO GOD

Gradual Hymn: TiS 654
1. When love is found and hope comes home,
sing and be glad that two are one.
When love explodes and fills the sky,
praise God and share our Maker’s joy,
2. When love has flower’d in trust and care,
build both each day, that love may dare
to reach beyond home’s warmth and light,
to serve and strive for truth and right.
3. When love is tried as loved-ones change,
hold still to hope, though all seems strange,
till ease returns, and love grows wise
through listening ears and opened eyes.
4. When love is torn, and trust betrayed,
pray strength to love till torments fade,
till lovers keep no score of wrong,
but hear through pain love’s Easter song.
5. Praise God for love, praise God for life,
in age or youth, in calm or strife.
Lift up your hearts! Let love be fed
through death and life in broken bread.
10
We stand for the reading of the Holy Gospel as a sign of respect as we greet
our Lord who is present in His Holy Word.
The Lord be with you
AND ALSO WITH YOU
The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Saint Matthew chapter 13
beginning at the 44th
verse.
GLORY TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.
44 "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone
found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that
field.
45 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls;
46 on finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and
bought it.
47 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea
and caught fish of every kind; 48 when it was full, they drew it ashore, sat
down, and put the good into baskets but threw out the bad. 49 So it will be at
the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the
righteous 50 and throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be
weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 "Have you understood all this?" They answered, "Yes." 52 And he said to
them, "Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven
is like the master of a household who brings out of his treasure what is new
and what is old." 53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he left that place.
54 He came to his hometown and began to teach the people in their
synagogue, so that they were astounded and said, "Where did this man get this
wisdom and these deeds of power? 55 Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not
his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon
and Judas? 56 And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get
all this?" 57 And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "Prophets
are not without honor except in their own country and in their own house." 58
And he did not do many deeds of power there, because of their unbelief.
Gospel Response: This is the gospel of the Lord,
PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.

ALLELUIA
Sung by
Choir &
Congregation
• SERMON (Copies of the sermon are available at the back of church)
12
THE NICENE CREED
Let us together affirm the faith of the Church.
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,
was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary
and became truly human.
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 and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son
is worshipped and glorified,
who 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.
13
THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE
Let us pray for all people and for the Church throughout the world.
Each petition of intercession or thanksgiving concludes with,
Lord in your mercy, HEAR OUR PRAYER.

Advisory Group on Authorised Lay Ministry; St Faith’s Burwood; St Luke’s

Hbn, Geraldine McF, Miriam A, Jean S, Lowan A, Robert D, Mia C, Jan T, Ray

and Gwlad W and all who care for them.
We remember before God with thanksgiving the life of John Holberton
(1999) as we come to the anniversary of his entry into your nearer presence.
Almighty God, you have promised to hear our prayers.
Grant that what we have asked in faith
We may by your grace receive,
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
14
THE GREETING OF PEACE (all stand)
{Celebrant} We are the body of Christ.
His Spirit is with us.
The peace of the Lord be always with you.
And also with you.
Offertory Hymn: TiS 678
1. God beyond glory,
gracious and holy,
in whose rare image each life is
made,
love is the treasure,
love is the measure
of all your Son on earth displayed.
2. Binding each other,
father to mother,
parents to children and friend to
friend,
love, in its sharing,
love, in its caring
dares to begin what none dare end.
3. Here, in your presence,
love is the essence
sealing the vows shared by husband
and wife,
this love confessing,
send them your blessing
to guard and guide their chosen life.
4. When joys are deepest,
where paths are steepest,
whatever figures in years to come,
let love in duty
and love in beauty
embrace their hearts, their hopes,
their home.
15
Offertory Prayer: Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation. Through
your goodness we have these gifts to share. Accept and use our offerings for
your glory and for the service of your kingdom.
BLESSED BE GOD FOR EVER.
THE PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING
Priest: The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.
Priest: Lift up your hearts:
People: We lift them to the Lord.
Priest: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People: It is right to give him thanks and praise...
Priest: ... Forever praising you and singing:
16
Priest: …. do this as often as you drink it in remembrance of me
Priest: … in songs of never ending praise:
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.
17
THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD AND THE COMMUNION
{Celebrant} We break this bread to share in the body of Christ.
We who are many are one body,
For we all share in the one bread.
The choir sings the Agnus Dei
Come let us take this holy sacrament of the body and blood of Christ in
remembrance that he died for us, and feed on him in our hearts by faith
with thanksgiving.
Baptised Christians who receive communion in their own church
are invited to share communion with us.
Communion wine may be received:
(a) from the common cup from the first of the two Eucharistic Assistants.
(b) by intinction from the second of the Eucharistic Assistants where a small
part of the wafer is carefully dipped in the wine, or
(c) from an individual glass on request from the first Eucharistic Assistant.
Or you may choose to receive the wafer only (Communion in one kind).
The Choir Sings “Ave Verum”, Byrd.
THE SENDING OUT OF GOD'S PEOPLE
Post-Communion Prayer
Prayer of self-offering
Father, we offer ourselves to you
as a living sacrifice
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Send us out in the power of your Spirit
to live and work to your praise and glory. AMEN
18
Final Hymn: TiS 411
1. Filled with the Spirit’s power, with one accord
the infant church confessed its risen Lord:
O Holy Spirit, in the church today
no less your power of fellowship display.
2. Now with the mind of Christ set us on fire,
that unity may be our great desire:
give joy and peace; give faith to hear your call,
and readiness in each to work for all.
3. Widen our love, good Spirit, to embrace
in your strong care all those of every race:
like wind and fire with life among us move
till we are known as Christ’s, and Christians prove.
Blessing
Dismissal Go in peace to love and serve the Lord:
IN THE NAME OF CHRIST. AMEN

GENERAL NOTICES
Calling all sewers: Ladies, do you have a length of material in your cupboard
which you are not going to make up? MU Australia has a Sewing Project, and
is asking for donations of material and sewing aids - threads, buttons, zips,
scissors, etc - so that women from Malawi who have settled here can be
helped to learn new skills. Also, two women from Malawi are being brought
to Victoria in August to be trained as instructors, and they will go back home
to teach their friends how to sew. All this is part of our Mission. Can you
help? Joan Brooking (9853 5175) would be happy to pick up anything you
can donate.
Trinity Helpers: occasionally parishioners are in need of help with transport
for medical appointments, shopping or other day to day activities. If you
would be prepared to go on a list of Happy Helpers to be asked when
needed, please give your name to Roy.
Ladies lunch: Past and present MU members, and past members of other
ladies groups, are invited to attend the 11 am Communion Service on
Wednesday 3rd
August, and meet together for lunch at the home of Nell
Eddy. More details from Rosemary Nairn 9859 2278
Next Sunday: (5th
Sunday of the month) Breakfast & Morning tea will be in
the Vicarage.
A retiring collection will support a Mothers Union (MU) project.
Trinity Times articles for next edition are due by 4th
August.
Building Report: The Diocesan Property Committee have given support for
some aspects of the Master Plan (new building on High St, lease of halls,
improvements to Pakington St car park), but have asked for more
information about other aspects ( Peel St car park options, parish
requirements in the new building, heritage issues). We are awaiting
clarification about what the next steps are.

'Wrapped in love': is a program where donated wool is knitted into squares

ordinating this activity and is looking for 8 ply wool/yarn and size 8 needles.
Parishioners willing to knit squares or sew squares together are also needed.
