Almighty and everlasting God,
by whose Spirit the whole body of the Church
is governed and sanctified:
hear our prayer which we offer for all your faithful people,
that in their vocation and ministry
they may serve you in holiness and truth
to the glory of your name;
through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Isaiah 66.10-14
A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah.
10 Rejoice with Jerusalem,
and be glad for her,
all you who love her;
rejoice with her in joy,
all you who mourn over her –
11 that you may nurse and be satisfied
from her consoling breast;
that you may drink deeply with delight
from her glorious bosom.
12 For thus says the LORD:
I will extend prosperity to her like a river,
and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing stream;
and you shall nurse and be carried on her arm,
and dandled on her knees.
13 As a mother comforts her child,
so I will comfort you;
you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 You shall see, and your heart shall rejoice;
your bodies shall flourish like the grass;
and it shall be known
that the hand of the LORD is with his servants,
and his indignation is against his enemies.
Psalm 66.1-8
R Come now and see the works of God who holds our souls in life.
1 Be joyful in God, all you lands;
sing the glory of his name;
sing the glory of his praise.
2 Say to God, ‘How awesome are your deeds!
because of your great strength
your enemies cringe before you.
3 All the earth bows down before you,
sings to you, sings out your name.’ R
4 Come now and see the works of God,
how wonderful he is in his doing towards all people.
5 He turned the sea into dry land,
so that they went through the water on foot,
and there we rejoiced in him. R
6 In his might he rules for ever;
his eyes keep watch over the nations;
let no rebel rise up against him.
7 Bless our God, you peoples;
make the voice of his praise to be heard;
8 Who holds our souls in life,
and will not allow our feet to slip. R
Galatians 6.7-16
A reading from the letter of Paul to the Galatians.
7 Do not be deceived;
God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow.
8 If you sow to your own flesh,
you will reap corruption from the flesh;
but if you sow to the Spirit,
you will reap eternal life from the Spirit.
9 So let us not grow weary in doing what is right,
for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up.
10 So then, whenever we have an opportunity,
let us work for the good of all,
and especially for those of the family of faith.
11 See what large letters I make when I am writing in my own hand!
12 It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh
that try to compel you to be circumcised –
only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13 Even the circumcised do not themselves obey the law,
but they want you to be circumcised
so that they may boast about your flesh.
14 May I never boast of anything
except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,
by which the world has been crucified to me,
and I to the world.
15 For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything;
but a new creation is everything!
16 As for those who will follow this rule –
peace be upon them, and mercy,
and upon the Israel of God.
Alleluia! Anyone who welcomes me, says the Lord, welcomes the one who sent me. Alleluia!
Luke 10.1-11,16-20
Hear the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke.
1 The Lord appointed seventy others
and sent them on ahead of him in pairs
to every town and place where he himself intended to go.
2 He said to them,
‘The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few;
therefore ask the Lord of the harvest
to send out labourers into his harvest.
3 Go on your way.
See, I am sending you out like lambs into the midst of wolves.
4 Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals;
and greet no one on the road.
5 Whatever house you enter,
first say, “Peace to this house!”
6 And if anyone is there who shares in peace,
your peace will rest on that person;
but if not, it will return to you.
7 Remain in the same house,
eating and drinking whatever they provide,
for the labourer deserves to be paid.
Do not move about from house to house.
8 Whenever you enter a town and its people welcome you,
eat what is set before you;
9 cure the sick who are there, and say to them,
“The kingdom of God has come near to you.”
10 But whenever you enter a town
and they do not welcome you,
go out into its streets and say,
11 “Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet,
we wipe off in protest against you.
Yet know this: the kingdom of God has come near.”
16 Whoever listens to you listens to me,
and whoever rejects you rejects me,
and whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.’
17 The seventy returned with joy, saying,
‘Lord, in your name even the demons submit to us!’
18 He said to them,
‘I watched Satan fall from heaven like a flash of lightning.
19 See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions,
and over all the power of the enemy;
and nothing will hurt you.
20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this,
that the spirits submit to you,
but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.’
Grant, O Lord, we beseech you,
that the course of this world may be so peaceably ordered
by your governance,
that your Church may joyfully serve you
in all godly quietness;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

A HUGE THANK YOU – to Sheila, Derek, James, Eddie, Dave and everyone who provided salads desserts and made last Sunday night such a huge success!
Thank you from - Fr Andy says: "I would like to thank all the people of St George's for the wonderful reception in church last Sunday. I was overwhelmed by all the cards and gifts given by the children and adults after the 10 o'clock service. I also want to thank Fr Stuart, Laura and all who helped to make the hog roast such a lovely evening. I know that I could not have got through the last three years of theological training without the support of the people of St George's. It will be my pleasure to try and show my gratitude through service during the months and years ahead. God Bless you all."
Dear Friends, I sincerely thank you for your hearty welcome to St George's. The events of last week built to such an amazing crescendo at Saturday's ordination that I was all but emotionally rung dry. Ceremoniously grand as it was, they didn't quite manage however to top the personalised fanfare that greeted both Andy and I as we took our first few steps down the aisle. That and our exit to Widor's Toccata will linger long in my memory. The children's gifts and cards adorn my study and I look forward to
putting name, to face, to card over the coming few weeks. Sincere thanks go to all for your preparations for my arrival, from books, to flowers, to maps and of course... the keys to the safe. Never in my born days have I had a fatted calf killed in my honour and it served as a vibrant introduction to the social life of St George's of which so many of you have spoken. Lastly; thanks for the biretta...an inspired choice! Peace,
Mthr Rebekah
Notice from the wardens - "We need some more stewards to help out at services. If you would like to volunteer for this task please ask Sheila Price or one of the stewards what is involved."
The Ladies Group- (With husbands, partners , friends) will be having a cream tea while cruising the Chichester Ship Canal on Friday 9th July .The ship leaves the basin at 2.30 so please be there in good time.
We have some spare seats and would welcome anyone who would like to join us, the cost is £10.00 per head.
Please contact me Margaret Barratt on 01243 776243 to reserve a seat, this also applies to any members who have not yet contacted me. Thank you.
A message from Jo to the Georgettes - There seems to be great enthusiasm for our canoeing trip in a few weeks which is absolutely great! If the weather is like this it will be even better! Just so I have an idea how much stuff to be bring please can you let me know if you are planning to come. Also it will be a 'rescue yourself' canoeing session, this basically means that if you fall in you will need to be able to swim to the side of the canal in your buoyancy aid and climb out, preferably taking your canoe with you! If you are worried about whether you can swim that far it is fine but please let me know before hand so I can make sure are paired with the right person. Legal bit - you will be taking part in the activity at your own risk, although the equipment belongs to Releasing Potential they will have no liability over the event. It is borrow a boat and have a go session. Hope this makes sense and doesn't scare anyone! If you have any questions just ask me. Cheers Jo
Parish Holiday – Every effort has been made to include every member of our church family so we can get away from everything together. Fred Corbin will be running the usual savings scheme as in previous years. Please do talk to Pat Sparkes if you have any questions .

Sound System Update – members of the PCC welcomed representatives from Bose and AB Audio Visual a few weeks ago. Members were very impressed by both the technical specification and the sensitive nature in which any installation would be carried out. The PCC will discuss further any possible future steps and will report to the congregation before submitting a ‘faculty application'.
Did you know – we collect tin foil and stamps for charities, School vouchers (Tesco's & Sainbury's) for Rumboldwhyke School and starting this week we will supporting St Paul's in their collection of Milk Bottle Tops for the Chestnut Tree Hospice. All the collecting points are at the back of Church.

Ride & Stride - If anyone would like to take part in the Sussex Historic Churches Trust Ride and Stride on Saturday September 11th please contact Steve Blighton for more details. The event caters for all ages and abilities as you plot your own route around as many churches and chapels as you can manage either within Chichester or further a field.
Centenary Centre re-decoration – the Probation Service will be starting to repaint the Centre over the summer months (on Saturdays). We are already very grateful for all they do for us in our churchyards and we look forward to have a newly repainted centre as well. It is important for us as a community to look after the assets we have and so we are delighted that this work will be done. The Probation Service will do this work with no charge; however, we do need to pay for all the materials involved. If you would like to contribute towards meeting these costs please talk to either Les or Sheila.
