The Parish Church of Saint Thomas of Canterbury Brentwood WEEKLY BULLETIN THEBAPTISMOFCHRIST–11thJanuary2015 We welcome, in the name of Jesus Christ, any newcomers to our church today. Please make yourself known to one of the priests or the people who gave you the service books. Younger children may be taken into the crèche in the Church Centre for a time-out as necessary (through the doors on the right near the organ). After the 10.00am Mass please come through to the Church Centre for tea or coffee and to meet other members of the congregation. At holy communion, if you do not normally receive the blessed sacrament you are invited to come to the altar for a blessing, carrying the yellow booklet as a sign; and we do ask everyone to try and keep a time of quiet prayerfulness during this part of the service. 8.00am MASS 6.00pm CHORAL EVENSONG Readings as at 10.00am Responses: Ferial Psalms 46 47 Readings: Isaiah 42: 1-9 Ephesians 2: 1-10 Office Hymn: 48 Canticles: The Berkshire Service - Malcolm Archer Anthem: As water to the thirsty - T Brian Coleman Hymns: 425 431 Organ: The Holy Boy - John Ireland 6DP$GDPV 10.00am SOLEMN MASS Introductory Rite (yellow booklet page 4) Entrance Hymn: 137 Kyrie: William Harris in F Gloria: John Merbecke Collect: Eternal Father, who at the baptism of Jesus revealed him to be your Son, anointing him with the Holy Spirit: grant to us, who are born again by water and the Spirit, that we may be faithful to our calling as your adopted children; 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.
