DESCRIPTION:A Service of Holy Communion with Hymns from Complete Anglican 
 Hymns Old & New\n\n205 Glorious things of Thee are spoken\n67  Be still fo
 r the presence of the Lord\n315 Immortal love\n494 O God our help in ages 
 past\n\nThe Collect\n	Bountiful God\, giver of all gifts\,\n	who poured yo
 ur Spirit upon your servant Barnabas\n	and gave him grace to encourage oth
 ers:\n	help us\, by his example\,\n	to be generous in our judgements\,\n	a
 nd unselfish in our service\;\n	through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord\,\n
 	who is alive and reigns with you\n	in the unity of the Holy Spirit\, one 
 God\, now and for ever.\n\nReadings:    Job 29.11-16\;     Acts 11.19-30\;
      John 15.12-17\n\nJob 29.11-16\nWhen the ear heard\, it commended me\,
 \n    and when the eye saw\, it approved\;\nbecause I delivered the poor w
 ho cried\,\n    and the orphan who had no helper.\nThe blessing of the wre
 tched came upon me\,\n    and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy
 .\nI put on righteousness\, and it clothed me\;\n    my justice was like a
  robe and a turban.\nI was eyes to the blind\,\n    and feet to the lame.\
 nI was a father to the needy\,\n    and I championed the cause of the stra
 nger.\n\nActs 11.19-30\nNow those who were scattered because of the persec
 ution that took place over Stephen travelled as far as Phoenicia\, Cyprus\
 , and Antioch\, and they spoke the word to no one except Jews. But among t
 hem were some men of Cyprus and Cyrene who\, on coming to Antioch\, spoke 
 to the Hellenists also\, proclaiming the Lord Jesus. The hand of the Lord 
 was with them\, and a great number became believers and turned to the Lord
 . News of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem\, and they sent
  Barnabas to Antioch. When he came and saw the grace of God\, he rejoiced\
 , and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast d
 evotion\; for he was a good man\, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. An
 d a great many people were brought to the Lord. Then Barnabas went to Tars
 us to look for Saul\, and when he had found him\, he brought him to Antioc
 h. So it was that for an entire year they associated with the church and t
 aught a great many people\, and it was in Antioch that the disciples were 
 first called ‘Christians’.\nAt that time prophets came down from Jerus
 alem to Antioch. One of them named Agabus stood up and predicted by the Sp
 irit that there would be a severe famine over all the world\; and this too
 k place during the reign of Claudius. The disciples determined that accord
 ing to their ability\, each would send relief to the believers living in J
 udea\; this they did\, sending it to the elders by Barnabas and Saul.\n\nJ
 ohn 15.12-17\n\n‘This is my commandment\, that you love one another as I
  have loved you. No one has greater love than this\, to lay down one’s l
 ife for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. 
 I do not call you servants any longer\, because the servant does not know 
 what the master is doing\; but I have called you friends\, because I have 
 made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. You did not
  choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit\, fru
 it that will last\, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him 
 in my name. I am giving you these commands so that you may love one anothe
 r.\n\n\nWe pray for all who live and work in Baring Road\, Edinburgh Close
 \, Mountbatten Avenue\, The Green and the parish of St. John\, Northwood.\

 riendly services that last approximately 1 hour and are live streamed on Y
 ouTube. Well behaved dogs are welcome. Please ask for Gluten-Free Communio
 n.\nRefreshments are served afterwards.
