The Story of God’s People
A READING FROM THE BOOK OF JOB 38: 1-7
Read by Everod Miller

3. 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?”
Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s People:
Thanks be to God.
PSALM 104: 1-9, 25, 37 (sung)
Bless the LORD O my soul; *
O LORD my God how excellent is your greatness / you are
clothed with ma-jes-ty and splen-dour.
You wrap yourself with light as with a cloak *
and spread out the heavens like a cur-tain.
You lay the beams of your chambers in the wa-ters a-bove; *
you make the clouds your chariot / you ride on the wings of the
wind.
You make the winds your mes-sen-gers *
and flames of fire your ser-vants.
You have set the earth upon its foun-da-tions, *
so that it never shall move at a-ny time.
You covered it with the Deep as with a man-tle; *
the waters stood higher than the moun-tains.
At your rebuke they fled; *
at the voice of your thunder they has-ten’d a-way.

4. They went up into the hills and down to the val-leys
beneath, *
to the places you had ap-point-ed for them.
You set the limits that they should not pass; *
they shall not again co-ver the earth.
O LORD how man-i-fold are your works *
in wisdom you have made them all / the earth is full of your
crea-tures.
Bless the LORD O my soul. *
Hal-le-lu-jah!
Glory be to the Father and to the Son:
and to the Ho-ly Spi-rit.
As it was in the beginning is now and e-ver shall be:
world with-out end A-men.
A READING FROM THE BOOK OF HEBREWS 5:
1-10 Read by
Helen Taylor
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 forever,

5. 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 Mel-chizedek.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s People:
Thanks be to God.
Gospel Alleluia
Choir: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
All: Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

Gospeller: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to Mark 10: 35-45.
All: Glory be to thee, O Lord.
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came forward
to Jesus 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

6. 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.”
The Gospel of Christ. Praise be to thee, O Christ.

Bagpiper ROB CRABTREE is the special guest at
“Remembering”, our November 11 concert. He’s an
internationally known artist and teacher, having won several
competitions, including the Gold Medal in 1998 at Braemar,
Scotland. In 1999, his first recording, “The Piper’s Legacy,”
was nominated for a Juno award, and he has since released three
other albums. Rob Crabtree will join with our choir and soloists
to present a varied programme of music associated with

10. Remembrance Day, including some ‘sing-along’ pieces such as
‘The Maple Leaf Forever’ and “It’s a Long Way to Tipperary.”
We hope you’ll join us, and invite your friends and family
