Ave verum corpus, natum,
de Maria Virgine,
Vere passum, immolatum
In cruce pro homine,
Cuius latus perforatum
Vero fluxit sanguine
Esto nobis praegustatum
Mortis in examine.
O Clemens, O dulcis Jesu, fili Mariae.
Jesu, Word of God Incarnate,
Of the Virgin Mary born,
On the cross Thy sacred body
For us men with nails was torn.
Cleanse us, by the blood and water
Streaming from thy pierced side;
Feed us with thy body broken,
Now and in death’s agony.
O clement, O sweet Jesu, Son of Mary.
NOTICE SHEET FOR 10 May 2015 – Easter 6
9.15 am Sung Eucharist
Celebrant and Preacher: Canon Michael Burns
Theme:
We are to love one another as Jesus loves us.
Readings:
Acts 10/44-end p 1105 read by Judith Reeve
This passage marks a decisive moment in the Church’s life: when
Jewish Christians were challenged to accept gentile converts for the
first time. The move was made – with difficulty. Such moments of
the widening of vision are always difficult – down to our own day.
1 John 5/1-6 p 1228 read by Judith Reeve
Obedience as a Christian is to be no burden because it springs from
love, which comes in turn from God’s love for us made plain in the
offering of his life by Jesus.

LAST SUNDAY’S SERMON on Finance and Stewardship is on the website, as are the
letter and leaflet circulated to all – www.kcm-church.org.uk. Please collect your
envelope today. Jean Emmans will be available next week to answer questions and to
give out packs of free giving envelopes and Gift Aid forms.
CHRISTIAN AID WEEK runs from 10 to 16 May 2015. Volunteers to help distribute and
collect envelopes will be welcomed by David Hartland and Phil Townsend, who coordinate KCM's response to this important week. Christian Aid is now virtually the only
major charity still collecting house-to-house. Although knocking on strangers' doors
can be quite daunting many find it rewarding and enjoyable, particularly when done in
pairs. So do volunteer to help.
THE OPEN DOOR CAFÉ has made a £500 donation to US for relief work in Nepal.
