Today we celebrate saints in heaven and on earth, for we are all part of the family of God.
As Charles Wesley wrote: –
One family, we dwell in him, one Church, above, beneath; though now divided by the stream, the narrow stream of death.
Our Christmas Fair will soon be here and if it is to be as big a success as usual we need your help. Donations of raffle and tombola prizes, including bottles for the bottle tombola, good condition toys and soft toys, baby toys, bars of chocolate for a bran tub, jewellery, bric-a-brac, are all needed to stock the stalls. If you have anything to donate there is a box at the back of church. Also we have lots of raffle tickets to sell at only 50p a ticket. First prize is our huge hamper containing lots of Christmas goodies and there are many other prizes. Please buy some tickets and sell some to your friends if you can.
THE COLLECT.
Almighty God, you have knit together your elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of your Son Christ our Lord: grant us grace so to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living that we may come to those inexpressible joys that you have prepared for those who truly love you; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
THE GOSPEL.
32When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him, ‘Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.’ 33When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. 34He said, ‘Where have you laid him?’ They said to him, ‘Lord, come and see.’ 35Jesus began to weep. 36 So the Jews said, ‘See how he loved him!’ 37But some of them said, ‘Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?’ 38 Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it. 39Jesus said, ‘Take away the stone.’ Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, ‘Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead for four days.’ 40Jesus said to her, ‘Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?’ 41So they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upwards and said, ‘Father, I thank you for having heard me. 42I knew that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me.’ 43When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come out!’ 44The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, ‘Unbind him, and let him go.’ Amen
