THE BULLETIN
Sunday 21 June 2015
Trinity 3
Job 38:1-11; 2 Corinthians 6:1-13; Mark 4.35-end
Almighty God, you have broken the tyranny of sin
and have sent the Spirit of your Son into our hearts
whereby we call you Father:
give us grace to dedicate our freedom to your service,
that we and all creation may be brought
to the glorious liberty of the children of God;
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. Amen.
Job 38:1-11: The Lord Answers Job
Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind:
‘Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
Gird up your loins like a man,
I will question you, and you shall declare to me.
Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell me, if you have understanding.
Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone
when the morning stars sang together
and all the heavenly beings shouted for joy?
Or who shut in the sea with doors when it burst out from the womb?—
when I made the clouds its garment,
and thick darkness its swaddling band,
and prescribed bounds for it, and set bars and doors,
and said, “Thus far shall you come, and no farther,
and here shall your proud waves be stopped”?’
2 Corinthians 6:1-13
As we work together with him, we urge you also not to accept the grace of
God in vain. For he says,
‘At an acceptable time I have listened to you,
and on a day of salvation I have helped you.’
See, now is the acceptable time; see, now is the day of salvation! We are
putting no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no fault may be found with our
ministry, but as servants of God we have commended ourselves in every way:
through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings,
imprisonments, riots, labours, sleepless nights, hunger; by purity, knowledge,
patience, kindness, holiness of spirit, genuine love, truthful speech, and the
power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for
the left; in honour and dishonour, in ill repute and good repute. We are
treated as impostors, and yet are true; as unknown, and yet are well known; as
dying, and see—we are alive; as punished, and yet not killed; as sorrowful, yet
always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet
possessing everything.
We have spoken frankly to you Corinthians; our heart is wide open to you.
There is no restriction in our affections, but only in yours. In return—I speak
as to children—open wide your hearts also.
Mark 4.35-end: Jesus Stills a Storm
On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, ‘Let us go across to the
other side.’ And leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them in the
boat, just as he was. Other boats were with him. A great gale arose, and the
waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already being swamped. But he
was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and said to him,
‘Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?’ He woke up and rebuked the
wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace! Be still!’ Then the wind ceased, and there
was a dead calm. He said to them, ‘Why are you afraid? Have you still no
faith?’ And they were filled with great awe and said to one another, ‘Who then
is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?’
Next week’s Readings are: Wisdom of Solomon 1:13-15;2:23-24;
2 Corinthians 8:7-end; Mark 5.21-end

attend please let the Office know .... office@allsaintspock.plus.com
Emily Finch Bus Stop Coffee Morning - Many thanks to everyone who
helped make this a successful event which raised in excess of £231.
Open Church at All Saints Shiptonthorpe on Saturdays 27 June, 4 and 18
July from 2 till 4 pm for tea, coffee and cakes. All are welcome.
Volunteers Needed
We could do with some more people to help serve coffee, both on
Tuesday mornings and on Sunday after the service. It would only be
once every six weeks if we have more people on the rota and it would
relieve the strain on our regular helpers. Please try and help as people
look forward to this service. Contact Pat Herbert on
303605 if you can help.
