Hymn: TiS 555
1. Put all your trust in God, in duty’s path go on; walk in God’s strength with faith and hope, so shall your work be done. Commit your ways to him, your work into his hands, and rest on his unchanging word, who heaven and earth commands. 2. Though years on years roll on, God’s covenant shall endure; though clouds and darkness hide his path, the promised grace is sure. Give to the winds your fears; hope, and be undismayed: God hears your sighs and counts your tears; God shall lift up your head. 3. Through waves and clouds and storms his power will clear your way: await his time; so shall this night soon end in joyous day. Leave to God’s sovereign sway to choose and to command; so shall you wondering own, his way how wise, how strong his hand. 2
Greeting: The Lord be with you. AND ALSO WITH YOU. (see Ruth 2:4) Sentence: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3.22–23 Prayer of Preparation: As we gather as God's people let us pray together:
God of love and peace, you know what we think and feel. Touch our hearts that our thoughts and actions may be good so that we may love you and honour you, through Jesus 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. God of mercy and grace, we have sometimes thought wrong things, and done wrong things and we have not always loved each other as we should. We are sorry. Forgive us and help us to love and obey you , 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.
4
Prayer of the Day O Christ for whom we search, our help when help has failed: give us courage to expose our need and ask to be made whole, that, being touched by you, we may be raised to new life in the power of your name. Amen. 5
THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD Readings from 'New Revised Standard Version' (NRSV)
First Reading: : 2 Corinthians 8:7-11 (CEV) You do everything better than anyone else. You have stronger faith. You speak better and know more. You are eager to give, and you love us better. Now you must give more generously than anyone else. I am not ordering you to do this. I am simply testing how real your love is by comparing it with the concern that others have shown. You know that our Lord Jesus Christ was kind enough to give up all his riches and become poor, so that you could become rich. A year ago you were the first ones to give, and you gave because you wanted to. So listen to my advice. I think you should finish what you started. If you give according to what you have, you will prove that you are as eager to give as you were to think about giving. Response: Hear the word of the Lord, THANKS BE TO GOD Psalm 130 1 Out of the depths have I called to you, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice; 2 O let your ears consider well: the voice of my supplication. 3 If you, Lord, should note what we do wrong: who then, O Lord, could stand? 4 But there is forgiveness with you: so that you shall be feared. 5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits for him: and in his word is my hope. 6 My soul looks for the Lord: more than watchmen for the morning, more, I say, than watchmen for the morning. 7 O Israel, trust in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy: and with him is ample redemption. 8 He will redeem Israel: from the multitude of their sins. 6
Gradual Hymn: TiS 683
1. God! When human bonds are broken and we lack the love or skill to restore the hope of healing, give us grace and make us still.
4. Send us, God of new beginnings, humbly hopeful into life. Use us as a means of blessing: make us stronger, give us faith. 5. Give us faith to be more faithful, give us hope to be more true, give us love to go on learning: God! Encourage and renew!
2. Through that stillness, with your Spirit come into our world of stress, for the sake of Christ forgiving; all the failures we confess.
Frederik Herman Kaan 1929– Words and music by permission Stainer & Bell, London
3. You in us are bruised and broken: hear us as we seek release from the pain of earlier living; set us free and grant us peace.

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 Mark chapter 5 beginning at the 24th verse. GLORY TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST. Many people followed Jesus and kept crowding around. In the crowd was a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years. She had gone to many doctors, and they had not done anything except cause her a lot of pain. She had paid them all the money she had. But instead of getting better, she only got worse. The woman had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him in the crowd and barely touched his clothes. She had said to herself, “If I can just touch his clothes, I will get well.” As soon as she touched them, her bleeding stopped, and she knew she was well. Gospel Response:
Alleluia
This is the gospel of the Lord PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.
(sung by choir and congregation together)
TALK Let us together affirm the faith of the Church. We believe in God the Father who made us and loves us. We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who saves us and loves us. We believe in the Holy Spirit, who loves us and gives us life. 8

Offertory Hymn: TiS 154
1. Great is your faithfulness, O God my Father, in you no shadow of turning we see; you never fail and your love is unchanging: as you have been you for ever will be. Great is your faithfulness, great is your faithfulness, morning by morning new mercies we see; all we have needed your hand has provided: great is your faithfulness, Lord God, to me. 2. Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, sun, moon and stars in their courses above, join with all nature in unspoken witness to your great faithfulness, mercy and love. 3. Pardon for sin and a peace that’s enduring, your living presence to cheer and to guide, strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow — these are the blessings your love will provide.

GENERAL NOTICES High Altar flowers today are in loving Memory of Teddy Teh from Pip. Trading table: Today. Birthday: Lyn Stanley (Tuesday), Elizabeth Brooker (Wednesday), Nell Eddy (Thursday) Closing date for Trinity Times 19 July. Please leave items in office or email to ireneshorthouse@primus.com.au Food Bank: The Food Bank Centre in Footscray that provides the bulk of the emergency food for relief centres such as Anglicare's Mission House will be closed for two weeks in early July to install new computer systems and the training of staff. This is always a time of high demand for food at Mission House as clients need to apply any spare cash to paying heating bills. to help fill the gap it would be appreciated if parishioners could increase their giving of food (or cash in lieu) at this time or at least bring forward their normal giving until the bulk supplies resume from Foodbank. The following items are especially popular and in current lowish supply: Breakfast cereal, tins of tuna, biscuits of all sorts, tea bags and pasta sauce
