We will be celebrating Harvest Festival this Sunday so there will be different collects and readings used in church. These are the collect and readings set for the 17th Sunday after Trinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Almighty God,
you have made us for yourself,
and our hearts are restless till they find their rest in you:
pour your love into our hearts and draw us to yourself,
and so bring us at last to your heavenly city
where we shall see you face to face;
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Numbers 11.4\u20136,10\u201316,24\u201329<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4<\/sup> The rabble among them had a strong craving; and the Israelites also wept again, and said, \u2018If only we had meat to eat! 5<\/sup>We remember the fish we used to eat in Egypt for nothing, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; 6<\/sup>but now our strength is dried up, and there is nothing at all but this manna to look at.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n 10<\/sup> Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, all at the entrances of their tents. Then the Lord became very angry, and Moses was displeased. 11<\/sup>So Moses said to the Lord, \u2018Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why have I not found favour in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me? 12<\/sup>Did I conceive all this people? Did I give birth to them, that you should say to me, \u201cCarry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a sucking child\u201d, to the land that you promised on oath to their ancestors? 13<\/sup>Where am I to get meat to give to all this people? For they come weeping to me and say, \u201cGive us meat to eat!\u201d 14<\/sup>I am not able to carry all this people alone, for they are too heavy for me. 15<\/sup>If this is the way you are going to treat me, put me to death at once\u2014if I have found favour in your sight\u2014and do not let me see my misery.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n 16<\/sup> So the Lord said to Moses, \u2018Gather for me seventy of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; bring them to the tent of meeting, and have them take their place there with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 24<\/sup> So Moses went out and told the people the words of the Lord; and he gathered seventy elders of the people, and placed them all around the tent. 25<\/sup>Then the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke to him, and took some of the spirit that was on him and put it on the seventy elders; and when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied. But they did not do so again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 26<\/sup> Two men remained in the camp, one named Eldad, and the other named Medad, and the spirit rested on them; they were among those registered, but they had not gone out to the tent, and so they prophesied in the camp. 27<\/sup>And a young man ran and told Moses, \u2018Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.\u2019 28<\/sup>And Joshua son of Nun, the assistant of Moses, one of his chosen men, said, \u2018My lord Moses, stop them!\u2019 29<\/sup>But Moses said to him, \u2018Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the Lord\u2019s people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit on them!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mark 9.38\u201350<\/p>\n\n\n\n 38<\/sup> John said to him, \u2018Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.\u2019 39<\/sup>But Jesus said, \u2018Do not stop him; for no one who does a deed of power in my name will be able soon afterwards to speak evil of me. 40<\/sup>Whoever is not against us is for us. 41<\/sup>For truly I tell you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ will by no means lose the reward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 42<\/sup> \u2018If any of you put a stumbling-block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea. 43<\/sup>If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than to have two hands and to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire.45<\/sup>And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and to be thrown into hell.47<\/sup>And if your eye causes you to stumble, tear it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and to be thrown into hell,48<\/sup>where their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 49<\/sup> \u2018For everyone will be salted with fire.50<\/sup>Salt is good; but if salt has lost its saltiness, how can you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.\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\/2021-09-26<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sunday 26th September – Seventeenth Sunday after Trinity We will be celebrating Harvest Festival this Sunday so there will be different collects and readings used in church.
