Welcome to St Timothy’s
Welcome. We are glad you are here!
Our Nursery is open just prior to the 10:00am Service, and you are
welcome to drop off children from 6 months to pre-school age.
Our program for Children in JK to Grade 6 will start at the very
beginning of the Service. Children are asked to join in the opening
procession, behind the Choir, and follow the leaders out. Our
program will begin with music in Soward Hall, then continue in
our new space, The Loft!
The stairs to The Loft are beside the Nursery. Parents are most
welcome to join us to see our new Church School home.
If you arrive after the Service has begun, please accompany your
child to the program.
Hearing devices are available at the back of the Church.
Scent Free Environment
Please be mindful that some people have sensitivities to perfume and other
heavily-scented products. We ask that parishioners try as much as possible to
avoid wearing highly-scented products to church.

Presider:
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
And the love of God,
And the fellowship of the Holy Spirit,
Be with you all.
All:
And also with you.
The Collect of the day
All:
Almighty and everlasting God, whose will it is to
restore all things in your well-beloved Son, our Lord
and King, grant that the peoples of the earth, now
divided and enslaved by sin, may be freed and
brought together under his gentle and loving rule;
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
The Proclamation of the Word
A reading from the book of Ezekiel
Elaine Hill
For thus says the Lord GOD: I myself will search for my sheep,
and will seek them out. 12As shepherds seek out their flocks when
they are among their scattered sheep, so I will seek out my sheep.
I will rescue them from all the places to which they have been
scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness. 13I will bring
them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries,
and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them on
the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the
inhabited parts of the land. 14I will feed them with good pasture,
and the mountain heights of Israel shall be their pasture; there
they shall lie down in good grazing land, and they shall feed on
rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15I myself will be the
shepherd of my sheep, and I will make them lie down, says the
11
3
Lord GOD. 16I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed,
and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, but
the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them with justice.
20 Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD to them: I myself will judge
between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. 21Because you pushed
with flank and shoulder, and butted at all the weak animals with
your horns until you scattered them far and wide, 22I will save my
flock, and they shall no longer be ravaged; and I will judge
between sheep and sheep.
23 I will set up over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he
shall feed them: he shall feed them and be their shepherd. 24And I,
the LORD, will be their God, and my servant David shall be prince
among them; I, the LORD, have spoken.

A reading from Paul’s letter to the Ephesians
Ginny Lyon
I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love
towards all the saints, and for this reason 16I do not cease to give
thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. 17I pray that the
God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a
spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him, 18so
that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what
is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his
glorious inheritance among the saints, 19and what is the
immeasurable greatness of his power for us who believe,
according to the working of his great power. 20God put this power
to work in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated
him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21far above all rule
and authority and power and dominion, and above every name
15

that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come.
22And he has put all things under his feet and has made him the
head over all things for the church, 23which is his body, the
fullness of him who fills all in all.

Matthew 25:31-46 please turn to the reader
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
The Holy Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ,
according to Matthew.
Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
‘When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels
with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. 32All the
nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people
one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the
goats, 33and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at
the left. 34Then the king will say to those at his right hand, “Come,
you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared
for you from the foundation of the world; 35for I was hungry and
you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to
drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36I was naked and
you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in
prison and you visited me.” 37Then the righteous will answer him,
“Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food,
or thirsty and gave you something to drink? 38And when was it
that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave
31
5
you clothing? 39And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison
and visited you?” 40And the king will answer them, “Truly I tell
you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members
of my family, you did it to me.” 41Then he will say to those at his
left hand, “You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal
fire prepared for the devil and his angels; 42for I was hungry and
you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to
drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and
you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not
visit me.” 44Then they also will answer, “Lord, when was it that
we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in
prison, and did not take care of you?” 45Then he will answer them,
“Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of
these, you did not do it to me.” 46And these will go away into
eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.’

Hear, O Israel
Hear, O Israel,
the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Love the Lord your God
with all your heart,
with all your soul,
with all your mind,
and with all your strength.
This is the first and the great commandment.
The second is like it:
Love your neighbour as yourself.
There is no commandment greater than these.

The Celebration of the Eucharist
Passing the Plate
Many of our parishioners choose to make their financial contribution to
the Church via pre-authorized giving and, as a result do not put
anything on the Offering Plate when it is passed around. For
information about this contact the church office. We understand that our
offerings to God involve more than money.

infinitely more than we can ask or imagine. Glory to
God from generation to generation, in the Church
