O Lord, we beseech thee favourably to hear the prayers of thy people; that we, who are justly
punished for our offences, may be mercifully delivered by thy goodness, for the glory of thy Name;
through Jesus Christ our Saviour, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one
God, world without end, Amen.
MINSTER SUNDAY SCHOOL
Welcome to the Minster Sunday School and Crèche who meet during the 10.00 service.
Children and helpers, and any parents, who wish to do so, may follow the cross during the
Gradual hymn, and return just before Communion. The Sunday School and Crèche are available
to visitors as well as to regular members of the congregation. If, however, you prefer to keep
your children with you throughout the service, that is fine.

1 Corinthians 3.1-9
390 (T 493) Jesus, where’er thy people meet
Matthew 5.21-37
SP 217 (T i) I come with joy, a child of God
1.
I come with joy, a child of God,
forgiven, loved and free,
the life of Jesus to recall,
in love laid down for me.
3.
As Christ breaks bread, and bids us share,
each proud division ends.
The love that made us, makes us one,
and strangers now are friends.
2.
I come with Christians far and near
to find, as all are fed,
the new community of love
in Christ’s communion bread.
4.
The Spirit of the risen Christ,
unseen, but ever near,
is in such friendship better known,
alive among us here.
5.
Together met, together bound
by all that God has done,
we’ll go with joy, to give the world
the love that makes us one.

Collect
Post Communion
Almighty God,
who alone can bring order
to the unruly wills and passions of sinful
humanity:
give your people grace
so to love what you command
and to desire what you promise,
that, among the many changes of this world,
our hearts may surely there be fixed
where true joys are to be found;
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.
Merciful Father,
who gave Jesus Christ to be for us the bread of
life,
that those who come to him should never
hunger:
draw us to the Lord in faith and love,
that we may eat and drink with him
at his table in the kingdom,
where he is alive and reigns, now and for ever.
Communion motet
Final Hymn
O sacrum convivium Tallis
CP 581 Take my life, and let it be
1.
Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
4.
Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as thou shalt choose.
2.
Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of thy love;
Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for thee.
5.
Take my will, and make it thine:
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart: it is thine own;
It shall be thy royal throne.
3.
Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from thee.
6.
Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At thy feet its treasure-store;
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for thee.
Frances Ridley Havergal 1836-1879
Receiving Holy Communion. If you normally receive communion in your own church you
are welcome to receive communion here. If you don’t want to take communion but would like a
blessing, please bring your service booklet with you to let the minister know.
The normal practice in York Minster is to receive the wafer into the hand. If you prefer not to
drink from the common cup, please take the wafer only.
Gluten-free communion wafers are available at the communion station nearest the pulpit at the
front left of the Nave. If you require a gluten-free communion wafer, please inform a Steward and
make your way to the front of the Nave. When the time comes to receive communion, please ask
the priest for a gluten-free wafer.
Coffee and tea are served after the 10.00 service in the Chapter House.
All are welcome.

Exploring Christianity
We are beginning a new group for youngsters who want to think about and explore Christianity. It
is a group for those who would like to consider being Confirmed, but those who are Confirmed
already are welcome as are those who don’t want to consider Confirmation yet. The age group
we are looking for is youngsters between the ages of 11 and 13 though this is not a fixed rule. We
will meet weekly until Easter (except for half term) beginning on Monday 10th February at 6.30pm
for an hour in the Consistory Court (the vestry). I have four people who have signed up already
but there is room for more. I have a welcome letter and a plan of the meetings available if you
send me an email I will send a letter to you. Let me know if you are interested in joining.
Canon Michael
Pilgrim – Adults interested in Confirmation.
I am also running a course for adults, before Easter, using the new Church of England material
designed to help us on our Christian journey, ‘Pilgrim’. This is a series of short courses which
begins with one entitled ‘Turning to Christ’ which will last for 6 weeks. If there are any adults in
our community who would like to consider being Confirmed, this is for you. This group will meet
on Tuesday evenings 6.30pm – 8pm in the Consistory Court (the vestry) beginning on Tuesday 4th
March (Shrove Tuesday). Please let me know if you would like to join this group. I am going to
limit the size of the group to between 12 and 15 people, those considering Confirmation will have
priority and others are invited to join on a first come first serve basis. If you would like to join
please send me an email. Thank you, Canon Michael

The Concerts will have a selection of both sacred and secular music in order to provide an

Should anyone be planning a Spring break to Norfolk, the gents would be thrilled to see any
familiar faces at any of the venues.

Renewal of the Minster Community Roll
The Minster Community elects a new Committee every three years, in a process that includes the
election of Community representatives onto our Cathedral Council and York Deanery Synod.
The next elections will be carried out at the Community’s Annual Meeting on Thursday 22
May. Full details of the election process will be published well in advance in the Sunday Pewsheet,
on the Community section of the Minster website and in the Minster Bulletin.
– the Minster Community Committee discusses issues raised by the Community, and offers
comment and practical assistance to Chapter on a range of matters relating to the Minster’s
mission. The Committee operates a highly-valued system of flexible sub-committees and working
groups that together make a substantial contribution in supporting and building up many different
aspects of the life of the Minster family.
– the Cathedral Council is a key part of the Minster’s governing body. It is a ‘brains trust’ of
people connected in different ways to the Minster’s work, representing a wide range of local and
regional interests and expertise. Members are appointed by the Archbishop, nominated by
Chapter and elected by the College of Canons and the Minster Community. Council has the
power to request reports on any area of the Minster’s work, and its principal function is to advise
Chapter as a ‘critical friend’.
– the Deanery Synod is part of the internal governance structure of the Church of England. It
consists of clergy and elected lay people drawn from every parish in our local deanery. The
Deanery Synod elects representatives to the York Diocesan Synod and to the national General
Synod. Significant matters of church policy are referred to Deanery Synod by the other Synods for
consideration and comment. Deanery Synods are also a useful forum for the sharing of
information between churches locally, and the development and encouragement of local church
initiatives.
– the Minster Community Roll is our in-house electoral register. The current Roll (which
dates from 2010) is being closed and replaced, so that the 2014 elections can be run with the
benefit of reliably up-to-date names and contact details.
Everyone aged 16 and over who is a Minster worshipper, volunteer or member of staff
is warmly invited to join the Community Roll. To join the Roll, please complete one of the
new Application Forms (which also contain important information about our Pastoral Network
that will be launched at the Community’s Annual Meeting in May) and return it to: Chapter
Clerk, Church House, 10-14 Ogleforth, York, YO1 7JN. Application forms are available
from our website (http://www.yorkminster.org/get-involved/minstercommunity/spiritual/community-roll.html), from the Minster Community table in the Chapter
House Vestibule on Sunday mornings, and also from the Minster Vestry and Church House
Reception.
Please note that you must complete one of the new Community Roll Application Forms
and return it to the Chapter Clerk before Easter Day (Sunday 20 April) if you want to
take part in the Minster’s 2014 elections.
