COLLECT
Almighty God, whose blessed
apostles Peter and Paul glorified
you in their death as in their life:
grant that your Church, inspired
by their teaching and example,
and made one by your Spirit,
may ever stand firm upon the
one foundation, Jesus Christ our
Lord, who is alive and reigns
with you in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and for
ever. Amen.
GATHERING:
We have a gospel to proclaim
Good news for men
in all the earth;
The gospel of a Saviour’s name:
We sing His glory, tell His worth.
Tell of His birth at Bethlehem,
Not in a royal house or hall
But in a stable dark and dim:
The Word made flesh, a light for all.
Tell of His death at Calvary,
Hated by those He came to save;
In lonely suffering on the cross
For all He loved His life He gave.
Tell of that glorious Easter morn:
Empty the tomb, for He was free.
He broke the power
of death and hell
That we might share His victory.
Tell of His reign at God’s right hand,
By all creation glorified;
He sends His Spirit on His Church
To live for Him, the Lamb who died.
Now we rejoice to name Him King:
Jesus is Lord of all the earth.
This gospel message we proclaim:
We sing His glory, tell His worth.
OFFERTORY:
The church's one Foundation
is Jesus Christ her Lord;
she is His new creation,
by water and the Word;

 Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
Will you let my life be grown
In you and you in me?
 Perfect submission, all is at rest,


 I in my Saviour am happy and blest,

Will you leave yourself behind Watching and waiting,
If I but call your name?

Will you care for cruel and kind
 Filled with His goodness,
And never be the same? lost in His love
Will you risk the hostile stare

Should your life attract or scare?

Will you let me answer prayer
In you and you in me?

FIRST READING
The First reading is from the book of
Acts.
King Herod started persecuting
certain members of the Church. He
beheaded James the brother of
John, and when he saw that this
pleased the Jews he decided to
arrest Peter as well. This was during
the days of Unleavened Bread, and
he put Peter in prison, assigning four
squads of four soldiers each to guard
him in turns. Herod meant to try
Peter in public after the end of
Passover week. All the time Peter
was under guard the Church prayed
to God for him unremittingly.
  On the night before Herod was to
try him, Peter was sleeping between
two soldiers, fastened with double
chains, while guards kept watch at
the main entrance to the prison.
Then suddenly the angel of the Lord
stood there, and the cell was filled
with light. He tapped Peter on the
side and woke him. ‘Get up!’ he said
‘Hurry!’ – and the chains fell from
his hands. The angel then said, ‘Put
on your belt and sandals.’ After he
had done this, the angel next said,
‘Wrap your cloak round you and
follow me.’ Peter followed him, but
had no idea that what the angel did
was all happening in reality; he
thought he was seeing a vision. They
passed through two guard posts one
after the other, and reached the iron
gate leading to the city. This opened
of its own accord; they went through
it and had walked the whole length
of one street when suddenly the
angel left him. It was only then that
Peter came to himself. ‘Now I know
it is all true’ he said. ‘The Lord really
did send his angel and has saved me
from Herod and from all that the
Jewish people were so certain would
happen to me.’
This is the word of the Lord.
Acts 12

SECOND READING
The Second Reading is from St Paul’s
Second letter to Timothy.
My life is already being poured away
as a libation, and the time has come
for me to be gone. I have fought the
good fight to the end; I have run the
race to the finish; I have kept the
faith; all there is to come now is the
crown of righteousness reserved for
me, which the Lord, the righteous
judge, will give to me on that Day;
and not only to me but to all those
who have longed for his Appearing.
  The Lord stood by me and gave
me power, so that through me the
whole message might be proclaimed
for all the pagans to hear; and so I
was rescued from the lion’s mouth.
The Lord will rescue me from all evil
attempts on me, and bring me safely
to his heavenly kingdom. To him be
glory for ever and ever. Amen.
This is the word of the Lord.
2 Tim 4
