Almighty God,
who called your Church to bear witness
that you were in Christ reconciling the world to yourself:
help us to proclaim the good news of your love,
that all who hear it may be drawn to you;
through him who was lifted up on the cross,
and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ezekiel 33.7\u201311<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7<\/sup> So you, mortal, I have made a sentinel for the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. 8<\/sup>If I say to the wicked, \u2018O wicked ones, you shall surely die\u2019, and you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from their ways, the wicked shall die in their iniquity, but their blood I will require at your hand. 9<\/sup>But if you warn the wicked to turn from their ways, and they do not turn from their ways, the wicked shall die in their iniquity, but you will have saved your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 10<\/sup> Now you, mortal, say to the house of Israel, Thus you have said: \u2018Our transgressions and our sins weigh upon us, and we waste away because of them; how then can we live?\u2019 11<\/sup>Say to them, As I live, says the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from their ways and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways; for why will you die, O house of Israel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Matthew 18.15\u201320<\/p>\n\n\n\n 15<\/sup> \u2018If another member of the church sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone. If the member listens to you, you have regained that one.16<\/sup>But if you are not listened to, take one or two others along with you, so that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17<\/sup>If the member refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if the offender refuses to listen even to the church, let such a one be to you as a Gentile and a tax-collector. 18<\/sup>Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 19<\/sup>Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. 20<\/sup>For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n All collects and readings appointed for this day as well as the orders of Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer and Night Prayer can be found at almanac.oremus.org\/2020-09-06<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sunday 6th September – 13th Sunday after Trinity Collect Almighty God,who called your Church to bear witnessthat you were in Christ reconciling the world to yourself:help us to proclaim the good news of your love,that all who hear it may be drawn to you;through him who was lifted up on the cross,and reigns with you … <\/p>\nGospel<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
