Dear Parishioners, What can mustard seeds teach us about the kingdom of God? The tiny mustard seed literally grew to be a tree which attracted numerous birds because they loved the little black mustard seed it produced. God's kingdom works in a similar fashion. It starts from the smallest beginnings in the hearts of men and women who are receptive to God's word. And it works unseen and causes a transformation from within. Just as a seed has no power to change itself until it is planted in the ground, so we cannot change our lives to be like God until God gives us the power of his Holy Spirit. The Lord of the Universe is ever ready to transform us by the power of his Spirit. Are you ready to let God change you by his grace and power? The kingdom of God produces a transformation in those who receive the new life, which Jesus Christ offers. When we yield to Jesus Christ, our lives are transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us. Peter Chrysologous (400-450 AD), an early church father, explained how the "tree of the cross" spread its branches throughout the world and grew into a worldwide community of faith offering its fruit to the whole world: It is up to us to sow this mustard seed in our minds and let it grow within us into a great tree of understanding reaching up to heaven and elevating all our faculties; then it will spread out branches of knowledge, the pungent savour of its fruit will make our mouths burn, its fiery kernel will kindle a blaze within us inflaming our hearts, and the taste of it will dispel our unenlightened repugnance. Yes, it is true: a mustard seed is indeed an image of the kingdom of God. Christ is the kingdom of heaven. Sown like a mustard seed in the garden of the virginâ€™s womb, he grew up into the tree of the cross whose branches stretch across the world. Crushed in the mortar of the passion, its fruit has produced seasoning enough for the flavouring and preservation of every living creature with which it comes in contact. As long as a mustard seed remains intact, its properties lie dormant; but when it is crushed they are exceedingly evident. So it was with Christ; he chose to have his body crushed, because he would not have his power concealedâ€Ś. Christ became all things in order to restore all of us in himself. The man Christ received the mustard seed which represents the kingdom of God; as man he received it, though as God he had always possessed it. He sowed it in his garden, that is in his bride, the Church. The Church is a garden extending over the whole world, tilled by the plough of the gospel, 2

fenced in by stakes of doctrine and discipline, cleared of every harmful weed by the labor of the apostles, fragrant and lovely with perennial flowers: virgins’ lilies and martyrs’ roses set amid the pleasant verdure of all who bear witness to Christ and the tender plants of all who have faith in him. Such then is the mustard seed which Christ sowed in his garden. When he promised a kingdom to the patriarchs, the seed took root in them; with the prophets it sprang up; with the apostles it grew tall; in the Church it became a great tree putting forth innumerable branches laden with gifts. And now you too must take the wings of the psalmist’s dove, gleaming gold in the rays of divine sunlight, and fly to rest for ever among those sturdy, fruitful branches. No snares are set to trap you there; fly off, then, with confidence and dwell securely in its shelter. (1) Do you allow the seed of God's word to take deep root in your life and transform you into a fruit-bearing disciple of Jesus Christ? Yours in Christ, Fr Robert 1) Peter Chrysologous Sermon 98:PL52, 474-76 http://liturgy.slu.edu/11OrdB061718/theword_journey.html Peter Chrysologous (c. 400-50), who was born at Imoly in Italy, became a bishop of Ravenna. He was highly esteemed by the Empress Galla Placidia, in whose presence he preached his first sermon as bishop. He was above all a pastor, and many of his sermons have been preserved.

Hymn: Son of God, eternal Saviour NEH 498

1. Son of God, eternal Saviour, source of life and truth and grace, Son of Man, whose birth incarnate hallows all our human race, thou, our Head, who, throned in glory, for thine own dost ever plead, fill us with thy love and pity; heal our wrongs, and help our need. 2. As thou, Lord, hast lived for others, so may we for others live; freely have thy gifts been granted, freely may thy servants give: thine the gold and thine the silver, thine the wealth of land and sea, we but stewards of thy bounty, held in solemn trust for thee.

3. Come, O Christ, and reign among us, King of love, and Prince of peace; hush the storm of strife and passion, bid its cruel discords cease; by thy patient years of toiling, by thy silent hours of pain, quench our fevered thirst of pleasure, shame our selfish greed of gain. 5. Son of God, eternal Saviour, source of life and truth and grace, Son of Man, whose birth incarnate hallows all our human race, thou who prayedst, thou who willest, that thy people should be one, grant, O grant our hope's fruition: here on earth thy will be done.

Invocation:

Blessed be God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Blessed be God's kingdom, now and for ever.

Greeting:

The Lord be with you. And also with you.

Sentence: In Christ, God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us. The Collect for Purity: As we gather as God's people let us pray together: Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hidden: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy name, through 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.’ Lord, have mercy upon us, and write all these thy laws in our hearts, we beseech thee.

The Confession Let us confess our sins in penitence and faith, confident in God's forgiveness. Merciful God, our maker and our judge, we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, and in what we have failed to do: we have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves; we repent, and are sorry for all our sins. Father, forgive us. Strengthen us to love and obey you in newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The Absolution 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. ~ The Sunday School now departs to the Memorial Chapel. Any children in the congregation are welcome to join them. ~

The Collect Almighty God, without you we are unable to please you: mercifully grant that your Holy Spirit may in all things direct and rule our hearts; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD Readings from 'New Revised Standard Version' (NRSV) First Reading: Ezekiel 17:22-24 22 Thus

says the Lord GOD: I myself will take a sprig from the lofty top of a cedar; I will set it out. I will break off a tender one from the topmost of its young twigs; I myself will plant it on a high and lofty mountain. 23 On the mountain height of Israel I will plant it, in order that it may produce boughs and bear fruit, and become a noble cedar. Under it every kind of bird will live; in the shade of its branches will nest winged creatures of every kind. 24 All the trees of the field shall know that I am the LORD. I bring low the high tree, I make high the low tree; I dry up the green tree and make the dry tree flourish. I the LORD have spoken; I will accomplish it.

Response:

Hear the word of the Lord, Thanks be to God. 8

Psalm: 92:1-5

Second Reading: A reading from the second letter of Paul to the Corinthians, Chapter 5 beginning at the 6th verse. 6 So

we are always confident; even though we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lordâ€” 7 for we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 Yes, we do have confidence, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9 So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. 10 For all of us must appear before the judgement seat of Christ, so that each may receive recompense for what has been done in the body, whether good or evil. 2 Corinthians 5:6-10 Response:

Hear the word of the Lord, Thanks be to God.

Gradual Hymn: We love the place, O God NEH 471

1 We love the place, O God, wherein thine honour dwells; the joy of thine abode all earthly joy excels.

5 We love the word of life, the word that tells of peace, of comfort in the strife, and joys that never cease.

2 We love the house of prayer, wherein thy servants meet; and thou, O Lord, art there thy chosen flock to greet.

6 We love to sing below for mercies freely given; but O, we long to know the triumph-song of heaven.

3 We love the sacred font; for there the holy Dove to pour is ever wont his blessing from above.

7 Lord Jesus, give us grace on earth to love thee more, in heaven to see thy face, and with thy saints adore.

4 We love thine altar, Lord; O what on earth so dear? for there, in faith adored, we find thy presence near. 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. ALLELUIA Sung by Choir & Congregation

The Lord be with you, and also with you. The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Saint Mark chapter 4 beginning at the 26th verse.

He also said, ‘The kingdom of God is as if someone would scatter seed on the ground, 27 and would sleep and rise night and day, and the seed would sprout and grow, he does not know how. 28 The earth produces of itself, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head. 29 But when the grain is ripe, at once he goes in with his sickle, because the harvest has come.’ 30 He also said, ‘With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable will we use for it? 31 It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; 32 yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.’ 33 With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it; 34 he did not speak to them except in parables, but he explained everything in private to his disciples. Mark 4:26-34 26

Gospel Response: This is the gospel of the Lord,

SERMON

(copy of sermon available at back of church and on web)

The Nicene Creed Let us together affirm the faith of the Church. We believe in one God, the Father, the almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE Let us pray for all people and for the Church throughout the world. Each petition of intercession or thanksgiving concludes with, Lord in your mercy, Hear our prayer. We pray for: all who work for peace and justice. We pray for: Church of the Province of Myanmar (Burma) (Abp Stephen Than Myint Oo); Diocese of Brisbane (Abp Phillip Aspinall, Regional Bps Jeremy Greaves, Cameron Venables, John Roundhill, Clergy & People); Anglican Boys' Soc - CEBS (Bruce Anderson, Secretary); Parish of St John the Evangelist Epping (Margaret Hartley, Carole Lloyd- Flanders); Church of the Ascension Springvale – pastoral visit (Bp Paul Barker); St Michael’s Carlton North – pastoral visit (Bp Genieve Blackwell); Parish of Jika Jika – pastoral visit (Bp Philip Huggins). We pray for our ministry team: Robert, Robert, Pam and Leonie, for Rick and Michael (with responsibility for the TGS congregation), for the choir and Sunday School, and all who serve within the parish. We pray for our Archbishop Philip and Bishop Genieve. We pray for Trinity Grammar School: the students, staff and parents that peace and stability will continue during this time of new beginnings with the new school council and the seeking of a new Headmaster. We pray for those in need, and for those who care for them: Almighty God, you have promised to hear our prayers. Grant that what we have asked in faith We may by your grace receive, Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Children’s Show, Tell and Discuss.

THE GREETING OF PEACE (all stand) {Celebrant} We are the body of Christ. His Spirit is with us. The peace of the Lord be always with you. And also with you.

Offertory Hymn: Lightâ€™s abode, celestial Salem NEH 401

1. Light's abode, celestial Salem, Vision dear whence peace doth spring, Brighter than the heart can fancy, Mansion of the highest King; O, how glorious are the praises Which of thee the Prophets sing.

4. O how glorious and resplendent, Fragile body, shalt thou be, When endued with so much beauty, Full of health, and strong, and free, Full of vigour, full of pleasure That shall last eternally!

2. There for ever and for ever Alleluia is outpoured; For unending, for unbroken Is the feast-day of the Lord; All is pure and all is holy That within thy walls is stored.

5. Now with gladness, now with courage, Bear the burden on thee laid, That hereafter these thy labours May with endless gifts be paid, And in everlasting glory Thou with joy may'st be arrayed.

3. There no cloud nor passing vapour Dims the brightness of the air; Endless noon-day, glorious noonday, From the Sun of suns is there; There no night brings rest from labour, There unknown are toil and care.

6. Laud and honour to the Father, Laud and honour to the Son, Laud and honour to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever One, One in love, and One in splendour, While unending ages run.

Offertory Prayer: Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation. Through your goodness we have these gifts to share. Accept and use our offerings for your glory and for the service of your kingdom. Blessed be God for ever.

THE GREAT THANKSGIVING Priest: People: Priest: People: Priest: People: Priest:

The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts: We lift them to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give him thanks and praise... ... Forever praising you and singing:

Priest: â€Ś. do this as often as you drink it in remembrance of me

Priest: in songs of never ending praise:

As our Saviour Christ has taught us, we are confident to pray,

THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD AND THE COMMUNION {Celebrant} We break this bread to share in the body of Christ. We who are many are one body, for we all share in the one bread. The Choir sings the Agnus Dei Draw near with faith. Receive the body of our Lord Jesus Christ which he gave for you, and his blood which he shed for you. Eat and drink in remembrance that he died for you, and feed on him in your hearts by faith with thanksgiving. The Choir sings: â€œBe still for the presence of the Lordâ€?. Baptised Christians who receive Holy Communion in their own church are invited to share communion with us. The consecrated wine may be received: a) from the common cup which is the tradition of the Anglican Church since the Reformation (as outlined in the Book of Common Prayer 1662) by drinking or intinction of the bread. b) from an individual glass upon request. Or you may choose to receive the bread only as Holy Communion in one kind.

Once you have received communion you may wish to pray the following prayer in thanksgiving: Thanks be to you, our Lord Jesus Christ, for all the benefits which you have given us, for all the pains and insults which you have borne for us. Most merciful Redeemer, Friend and Brother, may we know you more clearly, love you more dearly, and follow you more nearly, day by day. Amen. (Richard of Chichester 1197-1253 AD)

Final Hymn: God moves in a mysterious way NEH 365

1. God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform; he plants his footsteps in the sea and rides upon the storm. 2. Deep in unfathomable mines of never-failing skill he treasures up his bright designs, and works his sovereign will. 3. You fearful saints, fresh courage take: the clouds you so much dread are big with mercy, and shall break in blessings on your head.

4. Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, but trust him for his grace; behind a frowning providence he hides a smiling face. 5. His purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour; the bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower. 6. Blind unbelief is sure to err, and scan his work in vain; God is his own interpreter, and he will make it plain. William Cowper 1731â€“1800

THE SENDING OUT OF GOD'S PEOPLE Post-Communion Prayer Prayer of self-offering Father, we offer ourselves to you as a living sacrifice through Jesus Christ our Lord. Send us out in the power of your Spirit to live and work to your praise and glory. Blessing

Dismissal Go in peace to love and serve the Lord: In the name of Christ. Amen

Access around the Church: Please note that there is no longer any access in or out of the Chapel door. If you need to go to the Vicarage (for breakfast, morning tea, bathroom) you will have to go out the Pakington Street entrance, walk up the street to the North end (Vicarage end) of the Church and walk along the pathway to the Vicarage. Access to the Church: Through the Pakington Street entrance. Access to the Church office and Vicarage: At the North end of the Church off Pakington Street. There are two alternatives for access - stairs and a pathway, both outside the Church office. Access to the Memorial Garden: We apologise but there is no access to the Memorial Garden at this time. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE GOSPEL OF ST MARK? Sometime ago I raised the prospect of picking up from one my sermons and offering to run a different sort of bible study. This one would focus on the Gospel of St Mark in its entirety. Rather than trying to do the whole study in one long process I am suggesting 3 x five-week sessions with 2 or 3 weeks breaks in between. As there are 16 chapters this lends itself to good bite size chunks of 5 chapters. I recently rediscovered a Markan commentary I bought several years ago called, “Binding the Strongman” and it brought a whole new perspective to the gospel for me. The difference is partly to be found in the subtitle “A political reading of Mark’s story of Jesus.” Since its publication in 1988, Binding the Strong Man has been widely recognized as a landmark in contemporary biblical criticism. Applying a multidisciplinary approach called socio-literary method, Myers integrates literary criticism, sociohistorical exegesis, and political hermeneutics in his investigation of Mark as a manifesto of radical discipleship. As my time is somewhat freer now, I would be prepared to offer them up to 3 times during the week, one after the 10 am Eucharist on Sunday, another in the day time during the week and another on a weeknight. Each lasting no more than an hour. There will be a signup sheet at the back of the Church for the next 2-3 weeks.

HYMN SELECTIONS AT HOLY TRINITY KEW Since becoming Vicar at Holy Trinity Kew I have been keenly observing and implementing innovations, additions and resurrections of important and great hymns into our collection of generally used hymns for public worship. This has resulted in us regaining a great tradition of English hymns befitting our choir, organ and musical reputation. We have continued to use hymns from the Australian Hymn Book (1977) and Together in Song (1999) now out of print, but used where useful. However, I have increasingly used selections from the English Hymnal (1906 &1933) and New English Hymnal (1986) to enrich, reenliven and broaden our musical tradition to match that of the great English choral parish churches and cathedrals of the Anglican Communion. The English Hymnal is a hymn book which was published in 1906 for the Church of England by Oxford University Press. It was edited by the clergyman and writer Percy Dearmer and the composer and music historian Ralph Vaughan Williams, and is a highly significant publication in the history of Anglican church music. The preface to the hymnal began with the statement, "A collection of the best hymns in the English language." Much of the contents was used for the first time at St Mary's Primrose Hill in north London, and the book could be considered a musical companion to Dearmer's book on English ceremonial, The Parson's Handbook. The high quality of the music is due largely to the work of Vaughan Williams as musical editor. The standard of the arrangements and original compositions made it the most influential hymnal of the 20th century. The hymnal included the first printing of several arrangements and hymn settings by Vaughan Williams. Among the most famous are Sine Nomine, a new tune to "For All the Saints"; and "Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones", a new text for the hymn tune Lasst uns erfreuen. The hymnal also includes many original plainsong melodies (in plainsong notation). The book is a characteristic green colour and was traditionally associated with churches with a strong choral tradition. When the book was published, High and Broad churches used Hymns Ancient and Modern, and Evangelical churches normally used the Hymnal Companion to the Book of Common Prayer. The hymnal has, however, been adopted not only in various movements of Anglicanism but also in several other denominations such as some Roman Catholic churches. A new edition of the musical content of The English Hymnal was issued in 1933, which principally had better accompaniments by JH Arnold to the plainsong melodies, and a supplement to the Hymnal, English Praise, in 1975. 24

The New English Hymnal is a hymn book and liturgical source first published in 1986. It was published by the Canterbury Press (now SCM Canterbury Press). It is a successor to, and published in the same style as, the 1906 and 1933 English Hymnal. It inherits much music from the earlier books, and although a few hymns are dropped many newer or re-written hymns are added, most of which had previously appeared in the intervening supplement English Praise. Although the words of several hymns have been altered slightly, it nonetheless enjoys continuing favour in a considerable number of cathedrals and collegiate chapels worldwide and it is a significant publication in Anglican church music. In its Preface the editors make their position clear on modern Christian hymns and songs: “The post-war surge in hymn-writing has not been ignored, but we regard much of it as poor in quality and ephemeral in expression. In particular, while the social gospel is an important element in Christian teaching, its translation into verse can be so contemporary that it quickly becomes dated. It remains true that the offering of objective praise and worship to God, the lover of mankind, is the ultimate ground of man's love of his fellow-man. By including a section headed 'The Kingdom of God' and similar hymns elsewhere in the book, we have not overlooked the social duty of Christians, but we believe that its application to immediate needs can often be better expressed in sermons and prayers than in hymnody.” The then chairman of the English Hymnal Company, George Timms, was its general editor. The musical editor was Anthony Caesar-who is an English priest (who trained at St Stephen’s House Oxford) organist and composer, with significant assistance from Arthur Hutchings (Professor of Music University of Durham) Christopher Dearnley (organist St Paul’s London) Martin Draper, Colin Roberts and Michael Fleming (Warden of the Royal School of Church Music). I hope that the above information assists you in understanding the musical movement in the current and ongoing selection of hymns at Holy Trinity Kew and how we are placed within the great church musical tradition of the Anglican Church. Holy Trinity Kew has been a member of the Royal School of Church Music since 1937, a mere ten years after its foundation in England in 1927 and as such is a major inheritor of a fine Anglican choral music tradition, most effectively reflected in the English Hymnal and New English Hymnal.
