BAPTISM OF THE LORD /
027 1 st Sunday of the Epiphany/Te Rātapu Tuatahi i muri i te Whakaaturanga
Welcome to Christ Church Cathedral, Nelson.
+ Children are welcome at our services. There are toys in the Quiet Room.
Please feel free to take this publication away with you / leave for re-use.
Dear Cathedralites,
While it was pretty tough on Motueka orchardists who were inflicted upon with hail wreck-
ing their crops the weather has reminded us lately that summer has finally arrived. Patsy
and I spent a couple of nights at Motueka in our caravan and ventured up to the incredible
resurgence near Riwaka. Amazingly, the water travels underground from Harwoods Hole
at the top of Takaka hill. I was silly enough to jump into the deep hole at the entrance of
the cave and received an instant headache. The water was absolutely freezing. However,
it was also exhilarating.
This morning we start the preaching series called ECO, the Epistles in Chronological
Order. I have relied on the Rev. Ren Kempthorne for theological advice as to what the
correct order could be and I certainly appreciate his wisdom.
So today we start with Thessalonians. Thessalonica is in Northern Greece, the region of
Macedonia. In biblical times it numbered 200,000 and rivalled Constantinople as the most
important city. Under Alexander the Great’s influence his vision was to see the East and
Western worlds united with Thessalonica being a pivotal point due to its location. It was
ideally situated to encompass Asia in the east and Europe in the west.
This was also the vision that Paul had for Christianity, that it would unite east and west
and become a universal belief system, so that is what he endeavoured to do. Christianity
is now the largest religion in the world.
However, Paul, Silas and Timothy had their work cut out in the city of Thessalonica.
It was the Jewish believers who caused most aggravation. They were jealous at the
growth of Christianity so they plotted to cause a riot and to bring so-called justice against
these Christians who they accused of subordination. However, Paul, Silas and Timothy
prevailed and so can we when we have the strength and confidence to claim the good
news of Christ. As I heard quoted recently: ‘keep your eyes on the prize.’
I had an amazing experience a couple of Sunday nights ago when I was invited to attend
the inauguration of the Kerala Society. It was a big event at the Trafalgar Centre. Well, I
have never seen such exuberant dancing and frivolity for a long, long time. The Bolly-
wood style, the acrobatic dancers, the music and of course the food were all exhilarating.
What struck me most though, was that all this laughter and energy was without one ounce
of alcohol. Kerala Christians take seriously the importance of not falling for any addictions
especially alcohol. What a contrast that was to the New Year celebrations by many local
kiwis throughout New Zealand.
Congratulations to Jojo, one of our Cathedralites who is the treasurer of the Kerala
Society.
Get ready for the Deanery picnic on Sunday 24th January from 12 to 1.30pm. I promise
you all that I will cut the grass and roll the croquet green so everyone has a chance to
take out the prize this year. It is a grand picnic to come to because you meet up with other
people who belong to the Cathedral but who you may never see because they go to
different services. So, don’t miss out and be sure you come along. Please bring a seat
because hopefully we will run out of ours!
Have a great week.
In His service,
Mike

1 Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart,
be all else but naught to me, save that thou art;
be thou my best thought in the day and the night,
both waking and sleeping, thy presence my light.
2 Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word,
be thou ever with me and I with thee, Lord;
be thou my great Father and I thy true son;
be thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.
3 Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight;
be thou my whole armour, be thou my true might;
be thou my soul's shelter, be thou my strong tower:
O raise thou me heavenward, great Power of my power.
4 Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise:
be thou mine inheritance now and always;
be thou and thou only the first in my heart;
O Sovereign of heaven, my treasure thou art.
5 High King of heaven, thou heaven's bright Sun,
O grant me its joys after vict'ry is won;
great heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
still be thou my vision, O Ruler of all.

All Merciful God, we have sinned in what we have thought and said,
In the wrong we have done and in the good we have not done.

All Thanks be to God
We stand to sing the Gradual Hymn CP 93
1 When Jesus came to Jordan
to be baptized by John,
he did not come for pardon,
but as his Father’s Son.
He came to share repentance
with all who mourn their sins,
to speak the vital sentence
with which good news begins.
2 He came to share temptation,
our utmost woe and loss;
for us and our salvation
to die upon the cross.
So when the Dove descended
on him, the Son of Man,
the hidden years had ended,
the age of grace began.
3 Come, Holy Spirit, aid us
to keep the vows we make;
this very day invade us,
and every bondage break;
come, give our lives direction,
the gift we covet most
to share the resurrection
that leads to Pentecost.

We conclude our prayers by singing the Lord’s Prayer
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be
done, on earth as in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial, and deliver
us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and
forever. Amen
We stand to affirm our faith in the words of the Apostle’s Creed
All I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s 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, is seated at the right
hand of the Father, and will come again to judge the living and the dead.
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

Minister of Liturgy We worship God with our tithes and offerings as we sing CP 474
1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.
2 Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above
Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.
3 To all life thou givest, to both great and small;
in all life thou livest, the true life of all;
we blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
and wither and perish; but naught changeth Thee.
4 Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;
all laud we would render: O help us to see
'tis only the splendour of light hideth Thee.
W. Chalmers Smith
The Great Thanksgiving
Celebrant To you, Lord, belongs the greatness, and the power, and the glory,
and the victory and the majesty.
All All that is in the heavens and the earth is yours, and of your own we
give you.
Celebrant The Lord is here.
All God’s Spirit is with us.
Celebrant Lift up your hearts.
All We lift them to the Lord
Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
All It is right to offer thanks and praise.
10Celebrant It is right indeed, it is our joy and our salvation, holy Lord, almighty
Father, everlasting God, at all times and in all places to give you thanks
and praise through Christ your only Son.
You are the source of all life and goodness; through your eternal Word you have cre-
ated all things from the beginning and formed us in your own image; male and female
you created us.
In Him we see You, the eternal God, revealing Your glory in our flesh, for He is the
light of the nations who illuminates our darkness.
When we sinned and turned away you called us back to yourself and gave your Son to
share our human nature. By his death on the cross, He made the one perfect sacrifice for
the sin of the world and freed us from the bondage of sin. You raised him to life triumphant
over death: you exalted him in glory. In him you have made us a holy people by sending
upon us your holy and lifegiving Spirit.
Therefore, with the faithful who rest in him, with angels and archangels and all the
company of heaven, we proclaim your great and glorious name, for ever praising you
and singing:
Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore thee,
casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
which wert and art and evermore shalt be.
Please kneel or be seated
Celebrant All glory and thanksgiving to you, Holy Father, on the night before he died
your Son, Jesus Christ, took bread; when He had given you thanks,
He broke it, gave it to His disciples, and said: Take, eat, this is my body
which is given for you; do this to remember me.
After supper He took the cup; when He had given you thanks, He gave it to
them and said: Drink this, all of you, for this is my blood of the new covenant
which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins; do this as
often as you drink it, to remember me.
All sing Glory to you Lord Christ, your death we show forth,
your resurrection we proclaim, your coming we await. Amen.
Come Lord Jesus.
The Celebrant continues
Therefore, loving God, recalling your great goodness to us in Christ, his suffering and
death, his resurrection and ascension, and looking for his coming in glory, we celebrate
our redemption with this bread of life and this cup of salvation. Accept our sacrifice of
praise and thanksgiving which we offer through Christ our great high priest. Send your
Holy Spirit that these gifts of bread and wine which we receive may be to us the body
and blood of Christ, and that we, filled with the Spirit’s grace and power may be renewed
for the service of your kingdom. United in Christ with all who stand before you in earth
and heaven, we worship you, O God, in songs of everlasting praise.
11All sing Blessing honour and glory be yours, here and everywhere.
Now and forever. Amen.
The Communion
Celebrant We break this bread to share in the body of Christ.
All We who are many are one body, for we all share the one bread.
We do not presume to come to your holy table, merciful Lord, trusting
in our own righteousness, but in your great mercy. We are not worthy
even to gather the crumbs from under your table. But you are the same
Lord whose nature is always to have mercy. Grant us, therefore,
gracious Lord, so to eat the body of your dear Son, Jesus Christ, and
to drink his blood, that we may evermore dwell in him and he in us.
Amen.
Those in the sanctuary receive communion
The Invitation
The Celebrant invites the people saying
Draw near and receive the body and blood of our Saviour Jesus Christ in
remembrance that he died for us. Let us feed on him in our hearts by faith with
thanksgiving.
The congregation is invited to receive communion at the High Altar.
Please come up the centre aisle and return by the side aisles.
During communion: Flugalhorn solo ‘To God be the glory’
Jan Lewis accompanied by Adrienne McDowell.
Wafers will be offered. Gluten free available on request.
The common cup is offered, along with grape juice in thimbles.
Prayer after Communion
Celebrant Father of all, we give you thanks and praise, that when we were still far
off you met us in your Son and brought us home. Dying and living, he
declared your love, gave us grace and opened the gate of glory. May
we who share Christ’s body live his risen life; we who drink His cup
bring life to others, we whom the Spirit lights give life to the world.
All Keep us firm in the hope you have set before us, so we and all
your children shall be free, and the whole earth live to praise your
name. Amen.
The Blessing

12Minister of Liturgy Please stand to sing our final Hymn CP 81
1 Lord, for the years your love has kept and guided,
urged and inspired us, cheered us on our way,
sought us and saved us, pardoned and provided:
Lord of the years, we bring our thanks today.
2 Lord, for that Word, the Word of life which fires us,
Speaks to our hearts and sets our souls ablaze;
Teaches and trains, rebukes us and inspires us;
Lord of the Word, receive your people's praise.
3 Lord, for our land, in this our generation,
Spirits oppressed by pleasure, wealth and care;
For young and old, for commonwealth and nation,
Lord of our land, be pleased to hear our prayer.
4 Lord, for our world; when we disown and doubt him,
Loveless in strength, and comfortless in pain;
Hungry and helpless, lost indeed without him;
Lord of the world, we pray that Christ may reign.
5 Lord, for ourselves; in living power remake us
Self on the cross and Christ upon the throne,
Past put behind us, for the future take us;
Lord of our lives, to live for Christ alone.

Isaiah 42:1-9
1Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have
put my spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations. 2 He will not cry or
lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street; 3 a bruised reed he will not
break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth
justice. 4 He will not grow faint or be crushed until he has established justice in the
earth; and the coastlands wait for his teaching. 5 Thus says God, the LORD, who
created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what
comes from it, who gives breath to the people upon it and spirit to those who walk
in it:6 I am the LORD, I have called you in righteousness, I have taken you by the
hand and kept you; I have given you as a covenant to the people, a light to the
nations, 7 to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the
dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness. 8 I am the LORD, that is my
name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to idols. 9 See, the former things
have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth, I tell
you of them.
Ephesians 2:1-10
1
You were dead through the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once lived,
following the course of this world, following the ruler of the power of the air, the
spirit that is now at work among those who are disobedient. 3 All of us once lived
among them in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of flesh and senses,
and we were by nature children of wrath, like everyone else. 4 But God, who is rich
in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us 5 even when we were dead
through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you
have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the
heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come he might show the
immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by
grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the
gift of God— 9 not the result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are what
he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared
beforehand to be our way of life.
