New Congregational setting
This month we are learning a new Communion setting for regular use at
Melbourne. At the beginning of the 10.30 service today, the Choir and I will
introduce us to the St Mary's Setting by Revd. Anthony Caesar, concentrating
on the Sanctus, Benedictus & Agnus Dei before we sing those later on in the
service. There is a Congregational edition of the music available which we
shall use to help learn it and that will be available each week too. During
Communion today the choir will sing the Gloria from this setting before we
introduce that in a similar fashion next week.

Anthony Caesar was Subdean of the Chapels Royal from 1979 to 1991, having
previously been Canon Precentor and Vice-Dean of Winchester Cathedral.
During this period he was also the music editor of our hymnbook, the New
English Hymnal. In the 1991 Queen's Birthday Honours he was promoted to
Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO).

Choir Trips
There will be a trip to Chester on Saturday 29th October but the next trip will
be on Saturday 20th August to Windsor and St. George's Chapel at the Castle,
where the Choir will be singing the services on both the Saturday and Sunday
of that weekend - Mark and Helen are looking forward to seeing everyone.
This will be the usual daytrip, leaving at 8.45a.m. and returning from
Windsor at 6.30p.m. after Evensong in the Chapel. If anyone is interested in
staying for the weekend as part of the Choir's group accommodation, do be in
touch with me as soon as possible. There isn't a coach arranged for our
weekend trips so you would need your own transport if wanting to stay
longer than a day. [email protected] , 01543 258777 or after a service.
The sign-up list for the daytrip is now on the noticeboard. The cost will be £20
each but, if booked and paid for by 17th July, will be at the reduced rate of
£18 each.

Congratulations to the Ramathon runners!
Rachel and Andrew Coupe successfully completed the Derby Ramathon on
Sunday 5th June. This was Rachel's first run (at any distance) and she would
like to thank those who supported and sponsored her in aid of the Christian
children's charity that she supports. Our daughter Helen was able to cheer
Rachel and Andrew on as well, with a "flying" visit from Kenya where she
works for Save the Children.
Nigel Coupe
Paul Fletcher-Read complete his half-marathon in 1 hour 59 minutes and 17
seconds and although found it a test of endurance plans to run in the Great
North Run in September. He has raised £225 for Macmillan Cancer Support

It is not too late to donate to either of these very worthy charities so please
see one of the runners or the Church Wardens.

The Readings at 8am and 10.30am:
The First Reading: Galatians 3.23 – end
Now before faith came, we were imprisoned and guarded under the law
until faith would be revealed. Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until
Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has
come, we are no longer subject to a disciplinarian, for in Christ Jesus you are
all children of God through faith. As many of you as were baptized into
Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is no longer Jew or Greek,
there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of
you are one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are
Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise.
The Gospel Reading: Luke 8.26 -39
Then they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
As he stepped out on land, a man of the city who had demons met him. For a
long time he had worn no clothes, and he did not live in a house but in the
tombs. When he saw Jesus, he fell down before him and shouted at the top of
his voice, ‘What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I
beg you, do not torment me’— for Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to
come out of the man. (For many times it had seized him; he was kept under
guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds
and be driven by the demon into the wilds.) Jesus then asked him, ‘What is
your name?’ He said, ‘Legion’; for many demons had entered him. They
begged him not to order them to go back into the abyss.
7
Now there on the hillside a large herd of swine was feeding; and the demons
begged Jesus to let them enter these. So he gave them permission. Then the
demons came out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd rushed
down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
When the swineherds saw what had happened, they ran off and told it in the
city and in the country. Then people came out to see what had happened, and
when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had
gone sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were
afraid. Those who had seen it told them how the one who had been possessed
by demons had been healed. Then all the people of the surrounding country
of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them; for they were seized with great
fear. So he got into the boat and returned. The man from whom the demons
had gone begged that he might be with him; but Jesus sent him away, saying,
‘Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.’ So he
went away, proclaiming throughout the city how much Jesus had done for
him.
A Prayer for the Benefice during this time of Vacancy
Holy God, you have welcomed each one of us in Jesus
and called us to be His body in this place;
Send us your Holy Spirit at this time of uncertainty and change,
to fill us with vision, energy and faithfulness in prayer,
that we may be true to our calling to bring new life to our community.
Guide with your heavenly wisdom
those who are to choose a new Incumbent for this parish,
that the one we receive may be a wise and gentle shepherd of your people:
ready to serve us with joy, to build us up in faith,
and to lead by example in loving obedience to your Son,
our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Amen
