2 Samuel 18:5-9, 15, 31-33

A reading from the first book of Samuel.

5 The king ordered Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, "Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom." And all the people heard when the king gave orders to all the commanders concerning Absalom.
6 So the army went out into the field against Israel; and the battle was fought in the forest of Ephraim.
7 The men of Israel were defeated there by the servants of David, and the slaughter there was great on that day, twenty thousand men.
8 The battle spread over the face of all the country; and the forest claimed more victims that day

than the sword.

9 Absalom happened to meet the servants of David. Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak. His head caught fast in the oak, and he was left hanging between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under him went on.
15 And ten young men, Joab'sarmor-bearers, surrounded Absalom and struck him, and killed him.
31 Then the Cushite came; and the Cushite said, "Good tidings for my lord the king! For the LORD has vindicated you this day, delivering you from the power of all who

rose up against you."

32 The king said to the Cushite, "Is it well with the young man Absalom?" The Cushite answered, "May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise up to do you harm, be like that young man."
33 The king was deeply moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept; and as he went, he said, "O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! Would I had died instead of you, O Absalom, my son, my son!"

This is the word of the Lord

Thanks be to God

Psalm1308.30am only

R Out of the depth I cry to you, O Lord.

Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications!R

If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered.R

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;my soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning, more than those who watch for the morning.R

O Israel, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there is steadfast love, and with him is great power to redeem.
It is he who will redeem Israel from all its iniquities.R

new testament Reading

Ephesians 4.25 – 5.2

A reading from the letter of Paul to the Ephesians.

25 Putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbours, for we are members of one another.

26 Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,

27 and do not make room for the devil.

28 Thieves must give up stealing;

rather let them labour and work honestly with their own hands, so as to have something to share with the needy.

29 Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear.

30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption.

31 Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice,

32 and be kind to one another,tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.

1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children,

2 and live in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

This is the word of the Lord

Thanks be to God

Gospel Reading

John 6.35, 41–51

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord.I know them, and they follow me.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

The Lord be with you

And also with you

Hear the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.

Glory to you O Lord

35 Jesus said to the crowd, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.’

41 Then the Jews began to complain about him because he said, ‘I am the bread that came down from heaven.’

42 They were saying, ‘Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, “I have come down from heaven”?’

43 Jesus answered them, ‘Do not complain among yourselves.

44 No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me;and I will raise that person up on the last day.

45 It is written in the prophets, “And they shall all be taught by God.”Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.

46 Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.

47 Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life.

48 I am the bread of life.

49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.

51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.’

This is the Gospel of the Lord

Praise to you, O Christ

FOOD BANK

Lindsay Park Baptist Church, together with all the churches in Kingsbury, hope to open a satellite to the Brent food bank atLindsay Parkin September. Plans are for one afternoon a week (day to be confirmed, but Monday to Thursday) for about three hours. Six helpers will be

needed each time, to meet and greet, fill bags with food and make tea. It is hoped we can find at least 12 helpers, thus making it a fortnightly commitment. If you would like to be involved in this work of Christ's mission, please see Angela Hopkins.

Course in Christian Studies Our diocese is offering this course – a two year journey exploring the Christian Faith, in five week modules on Tuesday evenings. If two years is a bit daunting you can always try it out one module at a time. It starts in September and the venue will be organised according to the location of the participants. Contact Natasha for more information, it would be great to have some from our church attending!
