A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Romans: The life and death of each of us has its influence on others; if we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord, so that alive or dead we belong to the Lord. This explains why Christ both died and came to life, it was so that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

We shall all have to stand before the judgement seat of God; as scripture says: By my life – it is the Lord who speaks – every knee shall bend before me, and every tongue shall praise God. It is to God, therefore that each of us must give an account of himself. This is the word of the Lord.All: Thanks be to God. [The choir:] Twenty-Third Psalm” FROM CHILDHOOD’S HOUR” – Edgar Allan PoeRead by David Irving, Esq.

From Childhood’s hour I have not beenAs others were – I have not seenAs others saw – I could not bringMy passions from a common spring.From the same source I have not takenMy sorrow; I could not awakenMy heart to joy at the same tone;And all I lov’d, I lov’d alone.Then – in my childhood – in the dawnOf a most stormy life – was drawnFrom ev’ry depth of good and illThe mystery which binds me still:From the torrent, or the fountain,From the red cliff of the mountain,From the sun that ’round me

roll’dIn its autumn tint of gold – From the lightning in the skyAs it passed me flying by – From the thunder and the storm,And the cloud that took the form(When the rest of Heaven was blue)Of a demon in my view.GOSPELJohn: 6:37 – 40Read by the Rev. Mike MellorJesus said to the crowd: ‘All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I shall not turn him away; because I have come from heaven, not to do my own will, but to do the will of the one who sent me.

Now the will of him who sent me is that I should lose nothing of all that he has given to me, and that I should raise it up on the last day.Yes, it is my Father’s will that whoever sees the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and that I shall raise him up on the last day.’ This is the Gospel of the Lord.All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
