MOTHERING SUNDAY 21 March 2004
Eucharistic Prayer A may be 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: God of love, passionate and strong, tender and careful: watch over us and hold us all the days of our life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN
Readings (St Peter’s): Exodus
2:1-10 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 Luke 2:33-35
(All
Saints’): 2 Corinthians
5:16-21 Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32
Post Communion: Loving God, as a mother feeds her children
at the breast you feed us in this sacrament with the food and drink of eternal
life: help us who have tasted your
goodness to grow in grace within the household of faith; through Jesus Christ
our Lord. AMEN
