This Sunday, 6 July, we mark Lammas with a Joint Benefice Service at Hookhouse Farm, Outwood. There will also be said Communion from the Book of Common Prayer at 8am in St Mary the Virgin, Horne.

This week’s online service is led by Revd Alan Bayes.

Seek ye first the kingdom of God
And His righteousness;
And all these things shall be added unto you.
Allelu, Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia,
Allelu, alleluia!

Ask, and it shall be given unto you;
Seek, and you shall find.
Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
Allelu, Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia,
Allelu, alleluia!

Man shall not live by bread alone,
But by every word
That proceeds out from the mouth of God.
Allelu, Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia,
Allelu, alleluia!

Collect Prayer for Lammastide
God our creator, you give seed for us to sow

through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Talk
by Revd Alan Bayes

The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.

O God, your Son made himself known to his disciples
in the breaking of bread:
open the eyes of our faith,
that we may see him in his redeeming work,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

Blessing

Dismissal
Tend the earth,
care for God’s good creation,
and bring forth the fruits of righteousness.
Thanks be to God.

I am the bread of life.
You who come to me shall not hunger;
and who believe in me shall not thirst.
No one can come to me
unless the Father beckons.
And I will raise you up,
and I will raise you up,
and I will raise you up on the last day.

The bread that I will give
is my flesh for the life of the world,
and if you eat of this bread,
you shall live for ever,
you shall live for ever.

Unless you eat
of the flesh of the Son of Man
and drink of his blood,
and drink of his blood,
you shall not have life within you.

I am the resurrection,
I am the life.
If you believe in me
even though you die,
you shall live for ever.

Yes, Lord, I believe
that you are the Christ,
the Son of God,
who has come
into the world.
