Welcome to our service of Holy Communion for Sunday 29 August, the 13th after Trinity. This morning we consider what Jesus had to say about being inwardly and outwardly pure – in our words and actions. Rev Sue presides and ALM Carol O preaches.
We begin with the hymn “I Cannot Tell”, sung for us here by Maureen and accompanied by Tom:

ALM Carol’s reflection is available to you here.
The anthem during the distribution of communion was “Create in me a Clean Heart, O God”, sung by Carol and Tom:
The text is:
Create in me a clean heart, O God; renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from Thy presence, O Lord; and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.
Restore unto me, the joy of Thy salvation and uphold me with Thy willing spirit, O God.
Then I will teach transgressors Thy ways, and sinners shall be converted unto Thee.
Create in me a clean heart, O God; renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from Thy presence, O Lord; and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.
Create in me a clean heart, O God.
We conclude with the hymn “Christ be our Light”:
