We gather today on the traditional territory of the Algonquin nation. May we always dwell on this land with respect and peace.

Organ Prelude:  Slow Aire    R. Vaughan Williams

Grace   The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.  And also with you.

Greeting    The Reverend Canon David Clunie 

Collect   Almighty God, who through the teaching of your servant Ralph enlightened and enabled all your Church to understand the truth in Jesus Christ, raise up among us teachers of your word, that we, set free by truth from unbelief, may come to know our great salvation; through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.  Amen.

Reading:  Genesis 32:22-31 read by Serge Belet  
The same night he got up and took his two wives, his two maids, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. He took them and sent them across the stream, and likewise everything that he had. Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he struck him on the hip socket; and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. Then he said, ‘Let me go, for the day is breaking.’ But Jacob said, ‘I will not let you go, unless you bless me.’ So he said to him, ‘What is your name?’ And he said, ‘Jacob.’ Then the man said, ‘You shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with humans, and have prevailed.’ Then Jacob asked him, ‘Please tell me your name.’ But he said, ‘Why is it that you ask my name?’ And there he blessed him. So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, ‘For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life is preserved.’ The sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, limping because of his hip.  

Psalm:  119:97-104    music by Timothy Piper 
Refrain:  How sweet are your words, they are sweeter than honey. Through your words, I gain understanding, they live in me.          

                                                                                                                           
The Gospel:  Luke 18:1-8
Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart. He said, ‘In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor had respect for people. In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him and saying, “Grant me justice against my opponent.” For a while he refused; but later he said to himself, “Though I have no fear of God and no respect for anyone, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice, so that she may not wear me out by continually coming.” ’ And the Lord said, ‘Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God grant justice to his chosen ones who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long in helping them? I tell you, he will quickly grant justice to them. And yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?’

Musical Interlude    Slow Dance   R. Vaughan Williams

Sermon:  The Reverend Canon David Clunie

Musical Interlude

The Saviour’s Love  (from Twelve Traditional Carols from Herefordshire)      R. Vaughan Williams

Have you not heard of our dear Saviour’s love,
And how He suffered like a harmless dove,
And if we in our wickedness remain,
We crucify our blessed Lord again.

If you were going to be put to death,
It would be hard to find a friend on earth
Who would lay down his life to set you free;
But Christ did shed His precious blood for thee.

Consider what our Lord did undergo,
For to preserve us from the gulf of woe;
Repent in time, your wickedness refrain;
Christ will not shed His precious blood again.
