HYMN 418

COLLECT

Almighty God,

whose only Son has opened for us

a new and living way into your presence:

give us pure hearts and steadfast wills

to worship you in spirit and in truth;

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

OLD TESTAMENT Amos 8.4-7 read by David Sharpin

Hear this, you that trample on the needy, and bring to ruin the poor of the land,

saying, ‘When will the new moon be over so that we may sell grain; and the

sabbath, so that we may offer wheat for sale? We will make the ephah small and

the shekel great, and practise deceit with false balances, buying the poor for silver

and the needy for a pair of sandals, and selling the sweepings of the wheat.’ The

Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob: Surely I will never forget any of their deeds.

PSALM 113

Give praise, you servants of the Lord :

O praise the Name of the Lord.

Blessèd be the Name of the Lord :

From this time forth for evermore.

From the rising of the sun to its setting :

Let the name of the Lord be praised.

The Lord is high above all nations :

And his glory above the heavens. Response

Who is like the Lord our God that has his throne so high :

yet humbles himself to behold the things of heaven and earth

He raises the poor from the dust.

And lifts the needy from the ashes,

To set them with princes :

with the princes of his people.

He makes the barren woman a place in the house :

And makes her a joyful mother of children. Response

NEW TESTAMENT I Timothy 2.1-7 read by Shirley-Margaret Lloyd

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings

should be made for everyone, for kings and all who are in high positions, so that

we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity. This is right and

is acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, who desires everyone to be saved

and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God; there is also

one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human, who gave

himself a ransom for all - this was attested at the right time. For this I was

appointed a herald and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher

of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

GOSPEL READING Luke 16.1-13

Choir Alleluia, alleluia.

All Alleluia, alleluia.

Choir Open our heart, O Lord, to accept the words of your Son.


Hear the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke

Then Jesus said to the disciples, ‘There was a rich man who had a manager, and

charges were brought to him that this man was squandering his property. So he

summoned him and said to him, “What is this that I hear about you? Give me an

account of your management, because you cannot be my manager any longer.”

Then the manager said to himself, “What will I do, now that my master is taking

the position away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to

beg. I have decided what to do so that, when I am dismissed as manager, people

may welcome me into their homes.” So, summoning his master’s debtors one by

one, he asked the first, “How much do you owe my master?” He answered, “A

hundred jugs of olive oil.” He said to him, “Take your bill, sit down quickly, and

make it fifty.” Then he asked another, “And how much do you owe?” He replied,

“A hundred containers of wheat.” He said to him, “Take your bill and make it

eighty.” And his master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted

shrewdly; for the children of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own

generation than are the children of light. And I tell you, make friends for

yourselves by means of dishonest wealth so that when it is gone, they may

welcome you into the eternal homes. ‘Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful

also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. If

then you have not been faithful with the dishonest wealth,* who will entrust to

you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to

another, who will give you what is your own? No slave can serve two masters; for

a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and

despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.’

This is the Gospel of the Lord

ANTHEM Blessed city, heavenly Salem Edward Cuthbert Bairstow (1874-1946)

Blessed city, heav’nly Salem,

vision dear of peace and love,

who of living stones art builded

in the height of heaven above

and by angel hands apparelled

as a bride doth earthward move.

Out of heaven from God descending

new and ready to be wed

to thy Lord whose love espoused thee,

fair adorned shalt thou be led.

All thy gates and all thy bulwarks

of pure gold are fashioned.

Bright thy gates of pearl are shining,

Ttey are open evermore,

and their well-earned rest attaining

thither faithful souls do soar

who for Christ’s dear name in this world

pain and tribulation bore.

Many a blow and biting scupture

polished well those stones elect

in their places now compacted

By the heavenly architect,

nevermore to leave the temple

which with them the Lord hath decked.

To this temple when we call thee

come, O Lord of Hosts, today:

with thy wonted loving-kindness

hear thy servants as they pray

and thy fullest benediction

shed within its walls always.

community. If you are interested in hearing more please contact Mary Morris

07949 685 683 / [email protected] or Matt O’Grady 01483

remove it. https://www.guildford-cathedral.org/safeguarding

Shape of Sundays from 6 October

As from 6 October the 11.30am service on the first Sunday of the month will be a

traditional rite Choral Eucharist. This will reduce the number of Sundays during


http://www.guildford-cathedral.org/




the year when the Order One traditional rite is replaced with Order Two

contemporary rite. The 9.45am Cathedral Eucharist will be a shorter service and

one which has more congregational participation so will be more accessible for

those who have never been to church or who have fallen out of the habit and

would like to be able to introduce their children or grandchildren to worship. This

development will enhance what we offer on Sundays. We will continue to offer

Choral Mattins on the third, fourth and fifth Sundays of the month. As a cathedral

community we recognised last year that together ‘we need to grow the

congregation’. Chapter has invested in a whole new area of Family Engagement,

which is already bearing much fruit and also continued to invest in outreach. We

will review these changes in a year. Thank you to everyone for their comments

and questions. It will be helpful for us all to be aware of how our engagement

with God through worship is strengthened and nourished and to continue to

reflect upon this question together.

The Rosary: The Glorious Mysteries – Sunday 20 October, 11.30am

The Rosary is intended to encourage meditation on key incidents from the

Gospels and allow reflection on the implications of the Incarnation. The themes

of the Rosary are divided into Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and Luminous mysteries.

Whilst the repeated prayers invoke the Blessed Virgin Mary, the intention is to

meditate on Christ, her son, and his love for us. The Rosary is an established

meditation amongst catholic Anglicans but can be helpful to all, whatever their

tradition within the Church of England. The Glorious Mysteries include the

Resurrection and Ascension of Our Lord, the sending of the Holy Spirit at

Pentecost & the Assumption. The Rosary will be led by Donald Thompson in the

Lady Chapel and will last approximately 40 minutes. All are welcome to join us

for this period of quiet prayer and meditation. Please contact Donald

[email protected] if you would like more information or have any questions.

Bronze Age Flint Knife

Guildford Museum has lent us one of their fascinating bronze age treasures and it

is the oldest exhibit ever displayed in the Treasury. In 1986 when Michael Adie

was the Bishop of Guildford, his gardener discovered `something different-

remarkably sharp` in amongst the leeks he was forking. It turned out to be a

piece of flint knapped down one side and dating from about 2000 BC to 800 BC.

You can view this by visiting the Cathedral Treasury.
