THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
Our Lord Jesus Christ
said, “If you love me, keep my commandments; happy are those who hear the word
of God and keep it.” Hear then these
commandments which God has given to his people, and take them to heart.
I am the Lord your God;
you shall have no other gods but me.
You shall love the Lord
your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with
all your strength. Amen. Lord have mercy.
You shall not make for
yourself any idol.
God is spirit, and those
who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.
Amen. Lord have
mercy.
You shall not dishonour
the name of the Lord your God.
You shall worship him with
awe and reverence. Amen. Lord have mercy.
Remember the Lord’s day
and keep it holy.
Christ is risen from the
dead: set your mind on things that are above, not on things that are on the
earth. Amen. Lord have mercy.
Honour your father and
mother.
Live as servants of God;
honour all people; love each other. Amen.
Lord have mercy.
You shall not commit
murder.
Be reconciled to each
other; overcome evil with good. Amen.
Lord have mercy.
You shall not commit
adultery.
Know that your body is a
temple of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Lord have mercy.
You shall not steal. Be honest in all that you do and care for
those in need.
Amen. Lord have
mercy.
You shall not be a false
witness. Let everyone speak the truth. Amen. Lord have mercy.
You shall not covet
anything which belongs to your neighbour.
Remember the words of the
Lord Jesus: It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Love your neighbour as
yourself, for love is the fulfilling of the law.
Amen. Lord have
mercy.
Lord, have mercy on us, and write all these your laws
in our hearts.

Notices
We
would like to try out a sort of ‘mentoring’ system for our young people. What we need are willing adults volunteering
to have a young person come and sit with them, either when they come in from
Rocks, or during the All Age Services.
What is expected of you? Help
your ‘charge’ engage in and follow the service.
[Note the very helpful guide to Holy Communion on the book rack in the
porch.] We hope this will not only
enable all ages to get more out of the services, but also allow better
interaction between the ages in our congregation. If you are interested, please speak to
Sarah.
If you have any photos of
Parish/Church life, send them to Paul or Sarah via email and they will be
posted on the parish blog site.
Vocations Day
