Prayers of Penitence
God our Father,
We come to you in sorrow for our sins.
For turning away from you, and ignoring your will for
our lives;
Father, forgive us:
save us and help us.
For behaving just as we wish, without thinking of you;
Father, forgive us:
save us and help us.
For failing you by what we do and think and say;
Father, forgive us:
save us and help us.
For letting ourselves be drawn away from you
by temptations in the world about us;
Father, forgive us:
save us and help us.
For living as if we were ashamed to belong to your Son;
Father, forgive us
save us and help us.
May the Father forgive us
by the death of his son
and strengthen us
to live in the power of the Spirit
all our days. Amen
Blessed is the Lord
for he has heard the voice of our prayer
therefore shall our hearts dance for joy
and in our song we will praise our God.
The Collect
Almighty God
In Christ you make all things new:
transform the poverty of our nature
by the riches of your grace,
and in the renewal of our lives
make known your heavenly glory:
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.
The Word of God
John 1. 43-51
The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, "Come with me!
(Philip was from Bethsaida, the town where Andrew and Peter lived.) Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one whom Moses wrote about in the book of the Law and whom the prophets also wrote about. He is Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth."
"Can anything good come from Nazareth?" Nathanael asked. "Come and see," answered Philip.
When Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, he said about him, "Here is a real Israelite; there is nothing false in him!"
Nathanael asked him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered, "I saw you when you were under the fig tree before Philip called you."
"Teacher," answered Nathanael, "you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"
Jesus said, "Do you believe just because I told you I saw you when you were under the fig tree? You will see much greater things than this!" And he said to them, "I am telling you the truth: you will see heaven open and God's angels going up and coming down on the Son of Man."
This is the word of the Lord
Thanks be to God
The Talk
Several years ago, Mags and I went on an amazing trip to China with our husbands, Ged and Kevin. Part of the trip was by boat along the Yangtze River. If you have been there, or seen pictures of the Yangtze, you will know that a long stretch of it passes through a very deep gorge with sheer rock faces on either side. The river is very fast flowing, carrying with it an air of menace with the possibility of survival being pretty low if you happened to fall in.
One day, while scouring the steep cliffs for wild life, we came across laterally formed caves cut into the sheer rock face and near the entrance, clothes drying on washing lines! Extending outwards from the floor of the cave, just above the river, was a wooden walkway fastened to the rock face. Imagining people living in such circumstances was, initially, shocking to the western eye raising comments like, ‘how awful’, ‘how do people live like that’, ‘what about the danger from the river’…? On reflection, however, looking at it in a more open minded way, then why should people not live there if there was a need or the wish to do so?
The area was stunningly beautiful, there was no overcrowding like there was in the big cities like Beijing and Shanghai and if a remote way of living, albeit hard, was required this was certainly a way of achieving it. The river provided employment like fishing, transport and the movement of goods. The terrain did not lend itself easily to the development of settlements. Frankly, judging the situation negatively was inappropriate to say the least given that we knew nothing about the circumstances of the people living there or where or how they preferred to live their lives. Perhaps, as travellers, we are inclined to compare different lands and cultures with our own, suggesting a superior edge that rather defeats the object of travel as a means of broadening the mind.
Part of the human condition is, at times, to be judgemental. Often, this attitude is not supported by hard facts or, more significantly, by understanding. We see this in our Gospel reading today. Philip was excited about telling Nathanael that the Messiah had come and that he was the son of Joseph from Nazareth. He was immediately ‘knocked back’ by Nathanael’s response, “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” All of those who had spoken to Jesus accepted him as the Messiah without reservation, but Nathanael had not had that conversation. Once Jesus had spoken to him, however, he knew that this man was indeed someone special and he believed that even though Jesus was born in humble circumstances in Nazareth, a small, ordinary hill town fairly close to the Sea of Galilee, he was indeed the Messiah.
This is an interesting Gospel story to contemplate. It reminds us to think about our attitude to places, people or situations that we may shrink away from because of preconceived opinions based on limited information or understanding. It is particularly problematic if, as people of God, such feelings should relate to people or situations within our own communities.
Within months of our time in China a new dam on the Yangtze was completed. The water level in the gorge was raised significantly and the probability that the cave dwellings had to be vacated, was highly likely. The Chinese government had built new, modern homes for those affected by the dam project, so all was not lost, but then maybe for some, perhaps it was.

The Creed
Do you believe and trust in God the Father?
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
Do you believe and trust in his Son Jesus Christ?
I believe and trust in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
Do you believe and trust in the Holy Spirit?
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen
Prayers of Intercession and Thanksgiving
Lord we come before you to say sorry, for any moments when we forgot you and let you down.
We are sorry for the times, we are first to give our own opinions, and fail to hear your voice.
O Lord, grant us the desire to have you as our Saviour, not just in the next world, but in this; that you will change and alter all that is within us that does not reflect your love.
That your nature may be formed and created in our hearts, that the Kingdom of God may be seen in our lives.
May the mind of Christ our Saviour, live in us from day to day, by his love and power controlling all we do and say.
May the peace of God our Father rule our lives in everything, that we may be calm to bring comfort to the sick and sorrowing.
May the love of Jesus fill us, as the waters fill the sea, ever exalting him who has called us, to this life of victory.
May his beauty rest upon us as we seek to win the lost, seeing only Jesus.
We thank you Lord that you have called us by name, may your blessing be upon us and guard our hearts and direct our thoughts in this coming week.
We give you thanks for all the people you have brought into our lives, that have made a difference and we Praise you for the blessings of relationships.
Lord help us to be a blessing to others, especially those who are hurt, grieving, sick or lost, gives us your words of wisdom and guidance that they may see only you.
We lift our hearts to you, our Father, Son and Holy Spirit ever reigning one God for ever and ever. Amen
The Lord’s Prayer
As our Saviour taught us, so we pray:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever. Amen.

‘O Valiant Hearts’ – Charles Harris
Performed by The Chapel Choir of the Royal Hospital Chelsea

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szJIZXxrsLQ
This music would have been played during Holy Communion.

‘Hymn to the Fallen’ – John Williams
Performed by The Central Band of the Royal Air Force
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnocxD5u2bA
