8:00am Holy Communion 10:30am Parish Communion* The Order of Service is contained in the separate Service Book.

Opening Hymn*

1. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! early in the morning our song shall rise to thee; holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty! God in three persons, blessed Trinity! 2. Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore thee, casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee, which wert and art and evermore shalt be. 3. Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide thee, though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see, only thou art holy, there is none beside thee perfect in power, in love, and purity. 4. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! all thy works shall praise thy name in earth and sky and sea; holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty! God in three persons, blessed Trinity! Words: Reginald Heber (1783-1826) Music: Nicaea, John Bacchus Dykes (1823-1876) (Ancient & Modern â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 276)

Collect Almighty and everlasting God, you have given us your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity and in the power of the divine majesty to worship the Unity: keep us steadfast in this faith, that we may evermore be defended from all adversities; 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.

First Reading – Proverbs 8.1-4,22-31 Does not wisdom call, and does not understanding raise her voice? On the heights, beside the way, at the crossroads she takes her stand; beside the gates in front of the town, at the entrance of the portals she cries out: ‘To you, O people, I call, and my cry is to all that live. The LORD created me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of long ago. Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water. Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth – when he had not yet made earth and fields, or the world’s first bits of soil. When he established the heavens, I was there, when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep, when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, then I was beside him, like a master worker; and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always, rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the human race.

Second Reading – Romans 5.1-5* Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.

Gradual Hymn*

1. May the grace of Christ our Saviour, and the Father's boundless love, with the Holy Spirit's favour, rest upon us from above.

2. Thus may we abide in union with each other and the Lord, and possess, in sweet communion, joys which earth cannot afford.

Words: based on 2 Corinthians 13.14, John Newton (725-1807) Music: Waltham (Albert), melody by Heinrich Albert (1604-1651), harmony adapted from Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) (Ancient & Modern – 726)

Gospel – John 16.12-15 Jesus said to his disciples: ‘I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.’

Offertory Hymn*

1. How shall I sing that majesty which angels do admire? Let dust in dust and silence lie; sing, sing, ye heavenly choir. Thousands of thousands stand around thy throne, O God most high; ten thousand times ten thousand sound thy praise; but who am I?

3/ Enlighten with faith’s light my heart, inflame it with love’s fire; then shall I sing and bear a part with that celestial choir. I shall, I fear, be dark and cold, with all my fire and light; yet when thou dost accept their gold, Lord, treasure up my mite.

2. Thy brightness unto them appears, while I thy footsteps trace; a sound of God comes to my ears, but they behold thy face. They sing, because thou art their sun; Lord, send a beam on me; for where heaven is but once begun there alleluias be.

4. How great a being, Lord, is thine, which doth all beings keep! Thy knowledge is the only line to sound so vast a deep. thou art a sea without a shore, a sun without a sphere; thy time is now and evermore, thy place is everywhere. Word: John Mason (1646-1694) Music: Coe Fen, Ken Naylor (1931-1991) (Ancient & Modern – 663)

Post Communion Prayer Almighty and eternal God, you have revealed yourself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and live and reign in the perfect unity of love: hold us firm in this faith, that we may know you in all your ways and evermore rejoice in your eternal glory, who are three Persons yet one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Final Hymn*

1. Hallow the Father's Name! Through all our hopes and fears his heart of love is still the same amid the changing years: who formed us in his grace and keeps us by his power, who calls his church to seek his face and serve this present hour.

3. Welcome the Spirit blest, whose fruitful gifts increase the grace of God made manifest in love and joy and peace! A new resolve impart to serve our neighbours' need, intent to bind the broken heart and see the captive freed.

2. Glory to Christ the Son, the Prince of life who died, the Servant who salvation won, the Saviour glorified! Teach us to hear his call and tell his truth abroad, who gave himself to save us all and reigns our risen Lord.

4. Honour and power and might, dominion, love and praise, be unto him who reigns in light through everlasting days: from earth to realms above, from sea to starlit sky, exalt one Trinity of love in majesty on high! Words: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b 1926) Music: Diademata, George Job Elvey (1816-1893) ÂŠ 2006 Timothy Dudley-Smith (A House of Praise, part 2)

This Week MONDAY 23 MAY 7:30pm – CHURCH EUROPEAN REFERENDUM MEETING Empingham Methodist Chucrh Fed up of the hype, politicians scoring points or not sure what to do? How will we vote in the EU referendum, and on what basis do we

decide? Is there a ‘Christian’ perspective? Paul Morrison from Methodist Church House will be coming to lead discussion on the document prepared by the Joint Public Issues Team of the Methodist, Baptist, URC and Church of Scotland Churches. We are constantly being bombarded with arguments on one side or the other. This will not be an opportunity for more argument! It will simply be a time to explore and clarify the values that may guide us in our decisions, with others who are seeking what to do on the 23rd.

Thank You from Revd Hildred Crowther Dear Friends, I can't thank you enough for the wonderful send off and the most generous cheque you presented to me at my leaving service at All Saints. It's been such a privilege to get to know you all and very humbling that you have allowed me to be alongside you to share in your times of joy as well as in more difficult and painful times in your lives. A heartfelt thank you also to all the children and leaders in Sunday School for making me such a beautiful card and to all of you for such kind words as I left. The memories of serving amongst you and simply being with you and alongside you will remain with me for a very long time. With my love and prayers for you all, Hildred.

Clock Restoration Appeal A fundraising appeal to preserve the historic clock in Oakham church tower has been launched with a front page article in the Rutland Mercury.

For more details about the clock and the appeal please see the website.
