Offertory Hymn 252 The day thou gavest Lord is ended
A Reading from the Book of the Prophet Zephaniah; Zephaniah 1.7, 12-18<br />
Be silent before the Lord GOD! For the day of the LORD is at hand;<br />
the LORD has prepared a sacrifice, he has consecrated his guests.<br />
At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps,<br />
and I will punish the people who rest complacently on their dregs,<br />
those who say in their hearts,<br />
‘The LORD will not do good, nor will he do harm.’<br />
Their wealth shall be plundered, and their houses laid waste.<br />
Though they build houses, they shall not inhabit them;<br />
though they plant vineyards, they shall not drink wine from them.<br />
The great day of the LORD is near, near and hastening fast;<br />
the sound of the day of the LORD is bitter, the warrior cries aloud there.<br />
That day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish,<br />
a day of ruin and devastation, a day of darkness and gloom,<br />
a day of clouds and thick darkness, a day of trumpet blast and battle cry<br />
against the fortified cities and against the lofty battlements.<br />
I will bring such distress upon people that they shall walk like the blind;<br />
because they have sinned against the LORD,<br />
their blood shall be poured out like dust, and their flesh like dung.<br />
Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them<br />
on the day of the LORD’s wrath;<br />
in the fire of his passion the whole earth shall be consumed;<br />
for a full, a terrible end he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.<br />
Reader: This is the word of the Lord.<br />
Response: Thanks be to God.<br />
A Reading from the first Letter of Paul to the Thessalonians:<br />
I Thessalonians 5.1-11<br />
Concerning the times and the seasons, brothers and sisters, you do not need to have<br />
anything written to you. For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord<br />
will come like a thief in the night. When they say, ‘There is peace and security’, then<br />
sudden destruction will come upon them, as labour pains come upon a pregnant<br />
woman, and there will be no escape! But you, beloved, are not in darkness, for that<br />
day to surprise you like a thief; for you are all children of light and children of the<br />
day; we are not of the night or of darkness. So then, let us not fall asleep as others<br />
do, but let us keep awake and be sober; for those who sleep sleep at night, and<br />
those who are drunk get drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be<br />
sober, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of<br />
salvation. For God has destined us not for wrath but for obtaining salvation through<br />
our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep we<br />
may live with him. Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as<br />
indeed you are doing.<br />
Reader: This is the word of the Lord.<br />
Response: Thanks be to God.
The Gospel - Sung by all<br />
Choir:<br />
All:<br />
<strong>St</strong>ay awake and stand ready, because you do not know<br />
the hour when the Son of Man is coming. Matthew 24.42,44<br />
Alleluia, Alleluia….<br />
Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew:<br />
Response: Glory be to thee, O Lord<br />
Matthew 25.14-30<br />
Jesus said to his disciples,<br />
‘The kingdom of heaven is as if a man, going on a journey, summoned his slaves and<br />
entrusted his property to them; to one he gave five talents, to another two, to<br />
another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. The one who had<br />
received the five talents went off at once and traded with them, and made five<br />
more talents. In the same way, the one who had the two talents made two more<br />
talents. But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the<br />
ground and hid his master’s money. After a long time the master of those slaves<br />
came and settled accounts with them. Then the one who had received the five<br />
talents came forward, bringing five more talents, saying, “Master, you handed over<br />
to me five talents; see, I have made five more talents.” His master said to him, “Well<br />
done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will<br />
put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.” And the one<br />
with the two talents also came forward, saying, “Master, you handed over to me<br />
two talents; see, I have made two more talents.” His master said to him, “Well done,<br />
good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put<br />
you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.” Then the one who<br />
had received the one talent also came forward, saying, “Master, I knew that you<br />
were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not<br />
scatter seed; so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you<br />
have what is yours.” But his master replied, “You wicked and lazy slave! You knew,<br />
did you, that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter? Then<br />
you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and on my return I would<br />
have received what was my own with interest. So take the talent from him, and give<br />
it to the one with the ten talents. For to all those who have, more will be given, and<br />
they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they<br />
have will be taken away. As for this worthless slave, throw him into the outer<br />
darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”<br />
Reader: This is the Gospel of the Lord.<br />
Response: Praise be to thee, O Christ.

9.30 SERVICE : TIME TO REVIEW: Back in September we introduced a few alterations<br />
to the way we run the 9.30 Sung Eucharist:<br />
· the Family Worship area moved to the north aisle<br />
· all but a few of the chairs were removed from West End<br />
· and we started receiving Communion in <strong>St</strong> John’s Chapel<br />
It’s time to hear from you about what works well and what doesn’t! I would<br />
appreciate your comments by the end of <strong>November</strong> please. Dan Tyndall.
