Peter’s with All Saints’ |
THE
SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER 25
May 2003
Eucharistic Prayer E is being used at Holy Communion Services today
We welcome all who worship here
today. If you are a newcomer please
speak to one of the welcomers or to one of the clergy. We invite you to complete a card which you
will find in your pew, or on the table near the door of the church, and hand it
to one of the welcomers. Communicant
members of all Churches are welcome to receive Holy Communion. If you are not receiving Communion please
come to the altar rail for a blessing and carry a book so the minister knows.
Collect: Risen Christ, by the lakeside you renewed your call to your disciples: help your Church to obey your command and draw the nations to the fire of your love, to the glory of God the Father. AMEN
Readings: Acts 10.44-48 1 John 5.1-6 John
15.9-17
Post Communion: God, our Father, whose Son
Jesus Christ gives the water of eternal life:
may we thirst for you, the spring of life and source of goodness,
through him who is alive and reigns, now and for ever. AMEN
We pray this week
for Christopher our
Bishop and for Christopher and Richard his suffragans
for our Church Crèches, Sunday Schools, Pathfinder
and Young People’s Fellowship groups and for Little Fishes & Chuckles
toddler groups, for all who attend them and for all who help to run them
for the United Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel (and especially Andrew and Janice Proud working in Addis Ababa)
for Eve Isabella Kate Sibley, Elizabeth Freda
Berryman and Mia Sophie Muncer being baptised at St Peter’s today and for their
parents and godparents
for Steve Clarke & Nicola Boyes being married
at St Peter’s this week

Lawrenson, Christina Billington, Brenda Quarmby, Michael Taylor, Susanne
Kirkby, Doreen Jones, Muriel Norman
