Please come and joins us for a cuppa, friendship, and a chat.
Church Open St Isan’s will be open on Thursday 31stOctober and Friday 01st November between 10am and 4pm. We can only do this with your support, so if you are able to help by volunteering as a steward, (2-hour slots), please complete the form at the back of church (or in the hall).
Thanksgiving Day is next Sunday for St Isan’s. If you have not had a letter yet, either after last week’s service or in the post, please see Marilyn or visit https://parishofllanishen.org.uk/news/thanksgiving
Advance Notice: The Llanishen Players are pleased to announce that they will be hosting an Afternoon Tea with Entertainment on Saturday 07th December in the Parish Hall. Tickets, priced at £7, will go on sale on Sunday 03rdNovember.
Sunday Club St Isan’s has had an offer from the Diocesan Growth Enablers to help us set up a Sunday Club for our younger members to be held twice a month during the 10.30 am service. This, or course, will not be able to start before the heating is done, but we are hoping to begin in January.
To make this happen we need volunteers to help out – it would be great if we could get a team so that not everybody has to be available for every session. If you would like to help us make this very important ministry happen, please let Elaine know.

This weeks readings
Collect 123
Grant, we beseech you, merciful Lord, to your faithful people pardon and peace, that they may be cleansed from all their sins and serve you with a quiet mind; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Job 38. 1-7
Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind: ‘Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up your loins like a man, I will question you, and you shall declare to me.
‘Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements – surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it? On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone when the morning stars sang together and all the heavenly beings shouted for joy?
Responsorial Psalm 104. 1-10
R: Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Bless the Lord, / O my soul. O Lord, how excellent is / is your greatness! You are clothed with majes / ty and honour, wrapped in light as / in a garment.
R: Bless the Lord, O my soul.
You spread out the heavens / like a curtain and lay the beams of your dwelling place in the wa / ters above. You make the / clouds your chariot and ride on the wings / of the wind.
R: Bless the Lord, O my soul.
You make the / winds your messengers and flames of / fire your servants. You laid the foundations / of the earth, that it never should move at / any time.
R: Bless the Lord, O my soul.
You covered it with the deep / like a garment: the waters stood high a/bove the hills. At your re/buke they fled: at the voice of your thunder they has/tened away.
R: Bless the Lord, O my soul.
They rose up to the hills and flowed down to the val/leys beneath: to the place which you / had appointed for them. You have set them their bounds that they / should not pass: nor turn again to co/ver the earth.
R: Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Hebrews 5. 1-10
Every high priest chosen from among mortals is put in charge of things pertaining to God on their behalf, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He is able to deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is subject to weakness; and because of this he must offer sacrifice for his own sins as well as for those of the people. And one does not presume to take this honour, but takes it only when called by God, just as Aaron was.
So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest, but was appointed by the one who said to him, ‘You are my Son, today I have begotten you’; as he says also in another place, ‘You are a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchizedek.’
In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.
Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered; and having been made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him, having been designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
V: Hear what the spirit is saying to the Church
R: Thanks be to God
Please stand for the Gospel
V: Listen to the Gospel of Christ according to St Mark
R: Glory to you, O Lord
Mark 10. 35-45 The Request of James and John
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came forward to him and said to him, ‘Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.’
And he said to them, ‘What is it you want me to do for you?’ And they said to him, ‘Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.’
But Jesus said to them, ‘You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?’ They replied, ‘We are able.’
Then Jesus said to them, ‘The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.’
When the ten heard this, they began to be angry with James and John.
So Jesus called them and said to them, ‘You know that among the Gentiles those whom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them.
But it is not so among you; but whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all.
For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.’
V: This is the Gospel of the Lord
R: Praise to you, O Christ
Post Communion Prayer 124
Father of light, in whom is no change or shadow of turning, you give us every good and perfect gift and have brought us to birth by your word of truth: may we be a living sign of that kingdom where your whole creation will be made perfect in Jesus Christ our Lord.
