Reader: A Reading from the Second Book of Samuel.
The king ordered Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, "Deal gently for my sake with the
young man Absalom." And all the people heard when the king gave orders to all the
commanders concerning Absalom. So the army went out into the field against Israel; and
the battle was fought in the forest of Ephraim. The men of Israel were defeated there by the
servants of David, and the slaughter there was great on that day, twenty thousand men. The
battle spread over the face of all the country; and the forest claimed more victims that day
than the sword. Absalom happened to meet the servants of David. Absalom was riding on
his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak. His head caught fast
in the oak, and he was left hanging between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under
him went on. And ten young men, Joab's armour-bearers, surrounded Absalom and struck
him, and killed him. Then the Cushite came; and the Cushite said, "Good tidings for my
lord the king! For the Lord has vindicated you this day, delivering you from the power of
all who rose up against you." The king said to the Cushite, "Is it well with the young man
Absalom?" The Cushite answered, "May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise
up to do you harm, be like that young man." The king was deeply moved, and went up to
the chamber over the gate, and wept; and as he went, he said, "O my son Absalom, my son,
my son Absalom! Would I had died instead of you, O Absalom, my son, my son!"

The Gospel
Priest:   The Lord be with you.                People: And also with you.
Priest:   The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.
All:

Jesus said to the people, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry,
and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty." Then the Jews began to complain about
him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven." They were saying, "Is
not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say,
'I have come down from heaven'?" Jesus answered them, "Do not complain among
yourselves. No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise
that person up on the last day. It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught by
God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me. Not that anyone
has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. Very truly, I
tell you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the
manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so
that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven.
Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the
world is my flesh."

Sermon: The Rev. Canon Steven Mackison                                           Please be seated
                                  A moment of silence is observed.

The Nicene Creed                                                                    Please stand
Priest: Let us confess our faith as we say,
All:    We believe in one God, the Father, the almighty, maker of heaven and earth,
        of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only
        Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light,
        true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father.
        Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down
        from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the
        Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius
Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in
        accordance with the scriptures; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the
        right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and
        the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the
        Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father. With the Father and the
        Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets. We
        believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one
        baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead,
        and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Confession and Absolution
Ministrant: Dear friends in Christ, God is steadfast in love and infinite in mercy; he
            welcomes sinners and invites them to his table. Let us confess our sins,
            confident in God’s forgiveness.
Priest:   Most merciful God,
All:      we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by
          what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you
          with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves. We are
          truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
          have mercy on us and forgive us, that we may delight in your will, and walk
          in your ways, to the glory of your name. Amen.

Priest:   Almighty God have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins,
          confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and keep you in eternal life; through
          Jesus Christ our Lord.
All:      Amen.

The Peace                                                                      Please stand
Priest: The peace of the Lord be always with you.
People: And also with you.

Ministrant: Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
            and pay thy vows unto the Most High. (Psalm 50:14)

            Christ, our Saviour and Redeemer. He is your living Word, through whom you
            have created all things. By the power of the Holy Spirit he took flesh of the Virgin
            Mary and shared our human nature. He lived and died as one of us, to reconcile us
            to you, the God and Father of all. In fulfilment of your will he stretched out his
            hands in suffering, to bring release to those who place their hope in you; and so he
            won for you a holy people. He chose to bear our griefs and sorrows, and to give
            up his life on the cross, that he might shatter the chains of evil and death, and
            banish the darkness of sin and despair. By his resurrection he brings us into the
            light of your presence. Now with all creation we raise our voices to proclaim the
            glory of your name.

Priest:   Holy and gracious God, accept our praise, through your son our Saviour Jesus
          Christ; who on the night he was handed over to suffering and death, took bread
          and gave you thanks, saying, “Take, and eat” this is my body which is broken for
          you.” In the same way he took the cup, saying, “This is my blood which is shed
          for you. When you do this, you do it in memory of me.” Remembering, therefore,
          his death and resurrection, we offer you this bread and this cup, giving thanks that
          you have made us worthy to be in your presence and serve you. We ask you to
          send your Holy Spirit upon the offering of your holy Church. Gather into one all
          who share in these sacred mysteries, filling them with the Holy Spirit and
          confirming their faith in the truth, that together we may praise you and give you
          glory through your Servant, Jesus Christ. All glory and honour are yours, Father
          and Son, with the Holy Spirit in the holy Church, now and for ever.
All:      Amen.

Hail, true body, born of the Virgin Mary, having truly suffered, sacrificed on the cross for mankind,
from whose pierced side water and blood flowed: Be for us a foretaste [of the Heavenly banquet]
in the trial of death! O sweet Jesus, O holy Jesus, O Jesus, son of Mary, have mercy on me. Amen.

Priest:      Eternal God, grant to your Church the unity and peace that we have tasted in this
             eucharist, the fruit of your life-giving Spirit. We ask this in the name of Jesus
             Christ our Lord.
All:         Amen.
Priest:      Glory to God
All:         whose power working in us can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine.
             Glory to God from generation to generation, in the Church and in Christ Jesus
             for ever and ever. Amen.
