Healing Eucharist - Sunday 14th June 2026 - Revd Jo Nicholson Presiding and Preaching

As well as being the 2nd Sunday after Trinity, 14th June is also RSCM Music Sunday ... but then every Sunday is Music Sunday at Holy Trinity, Ventnor! And you can join in at home with the hymns, whose words you will find in the order of service below: OPENING HYMN: When, in our music, God is glorified (tune: Engelberg - Sir Charles V Stanford; words by Fred Pratt Green) 1. When in our music God is glorified, And adoration leaves no room for pride, It is as though the whole creation cried: Alleluia! 2. How oft, in making music, we have found A new dimension in the world of sound, As worship moved us to a more profound Alleluia! 3. So has the Church, in liturgy and song, In faith and love, through centuries of wrong, Borne witness to the truth in ev’ry tongue, Alleluia! 4. And did not Jesus sing a psalm that night When utmost evil strove against the light? Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight: Alleluia! 5. Let ev’ry instrument be tuned for praise, Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise, And may God give us faith to sing always: Alleluia! INTRODUCTION PRAYERS OF PENITENCE GLORIA IN EXCELSIS COLLECT Old Testament reading: Exodus 19: 2-8a “And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him. And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.” Epistle: Romans 5: 1-8 “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” (GRADUAL) HYMN: NEH 334 All people that on earth do dwell 1. All people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; Him serve with fear, his praise forth tell, Come ye before him, and rejoice. 2. The Lord, ye know, is God indeed, Without our aid he did us make; We are his folk, he doth us feed, And for his sheep he doth us take. 3. O enter then his gates with praise, Approach with joy his courts unto; Praise, laud, and bless his name always, For it is seemly so to do. 4. For why? the Lord our God is good: His mercy is for ever sure; His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure. 5. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom heaven and earth adore, From men and from the Angel-host Be praise and glory evermore. A-men. Gospel: Saint Matthew 9.35 - 10.8 “These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” SERMON CREED INTERCESSIONS HEALING LAYING-ON OF HANDS PEACE OFFERTORY HYMN: 408 Love divine, all loves excelling (tune: Love Divine) 1. Love Divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heaven, to earth come down, Fix in us thy humble dwelling, All thy faithful mercies crown. 2. Jesus, thou art all compassion, Pure unbounded love thou art; Visit us with thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart. 3. Come, almighty to deliver, Let us all thy life receive; Suddenly return, and never, Never more thy temples leave. 4. Thee we would be always blessing, Serve thee as thy hosts above, Pray, and praise thee, without ceasing, Glory in thy perfect love. 5. Finish, then thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see thy great salvation, Perfectly restored in thee, 6. Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise! EUCHARISTIC PRAYER GIVING OF COMMUNION (CHOIR) COMMUNION HYMN: HYMN: NEH 243 At even, when the sun was set 1. At even when the sun was set The sick, O Lord, around thee lay; O, in what divers pains they met! O with what joy they went away! 2. Once more 'tis eventide, and we Oppressed with various ills draw near; What if thy form we cannot see? We know and feel that thou art here ... PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION CLOSING HYMN: NEH 499 Thy kingdom come, O God 1. Thy kingdom come, O God, Thy rule, O Christ, begin; Break with thy iron rod The tyrannies of sin. 2. Where is thy reign of peace And purity and love? When shall all hatred cease, As in the realms above? 3. When comes the promised time That war shall be no more, And lust, oppression, crime, Shall flee thy face before? 4. We pray thee Lord, arise, And come in thy great might; Revive our longing eyes, Which languish for thy sight. 5. O'er lands both near and far Thick darkness broodeth yet: Arise, O morning Star, Arise, and never set. BLESSING and DISMISSAL
