The Proclamation of the Word
A READING FROM THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH
Read by Sue Ann Elite
At the beginning of the reign of King Jehoiakim son of Josiah of
Judah, this word came from the Lord: Thus says the Lord: Stand
in the court of the Lord’s house, and speak to all the cities of
Judah that come to worship in the house of the Lord; speak to
them all the words that I command you; do not hold back a word.
It may be that they will listen, all of them, and will turn from their
evil way, that I may change my mind about the disaster that I
intend to bring on them because of their evil doings. You shall say
to them: Thus says the Lord: If you will not listen to me, to walk
in my law that I have set before you, and to heed the words of my
servants the prophets whom I send to you urgently—though you
have not heeded—then I will make this house like Shiloh, and I
will make this city a curse for all the nations of the earth. The
priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah
speaking these words in the house of the Lord. And when
Jeremiah had finished speaking all that the Lord had commanded
him to speak to all the people, then the priests and the prophets
and all the people laid hold of him, saying, “You shall die! Why
have you prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, ‘This house
shall be like Shiloh, and this
city shall be desolate, without inhabitant’?” And all the people
gathered around Jeremiah in the house of the Lord. Then
Jeremiah spoke to all the officials and all the people, saying, “It is
the Lord who sent me to prophesy against this house and this city
all the words you have heard. Now therefore amend your ways
and your doings, and obey the voice of the Lord your God,
and the Lord will change his mind about the disaster that he has
pronounced against you. But as for me, here I am in your hands.
Do with me as seems good and right to you. Only know for
certain that if you put me to death, you will be bringing innocent
blood upon yourselves and upon this city and its inhabitants, for
in truth the Lord sent me to you to speak all these words in your
ears.” JEREMIAH 26:1–9, 12–15
The word of the Lord: Thanks be to God.
PSALM 31: 1-7, 16 (said responsively)
In you, O Lord, have I taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame;
deliver me in your righteousness.
Incline your ear to me;
make haste to deliver me.
Be my strong rock, a castle to keep me safe,
for you are my crag and my stronghold;
or the sake of your name, lead me and guide me.
Take me out of the net that they have secretly set for me,
for you are my tower of strength.
Into your hands I commend my spirit,
for you have redeemed me, O Lord, O God of truth.
I hate those who cling to worthless idols,
and I put my trust in the Lord.
I will rejoice and be glad because of your mercy;
for you have seen my afflictions; you know my distress.
Make your face to shine upon your servant,

3. and in your loving-kindness save me.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son:
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be:
world without end Amen.
A READING FROM THE BOOK OF ACTS
Read by Darryl Nakamoto
Stephen, full of grace and power, did great wonders and signs
among the people. Then some of those who belonged to the
synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), Cyrenians,
Alexandrians, and others of those from Cilicia and Asia, stood
up and argued with Stephen. But they could not withstand the
wisdom and the Spirit*
with which he spoke. Then they secretly
instigated some men to say, ‘We have heard him speak
blasphemous words against Moses and God.’ They stirred up
the people as well as the elders and the scribes; then they
suddenly confronted him, seized him, and brought him before
the council. They set up false witnesses who said, ‘This man
never stops saying things against this holy place and the law; for
we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth*
will destroy
this place and will change the customs that Moses handed on to
us.’ And all who sat in the council looked intently at him, and
they saw that his face was like the face of an angel. Then the
high priest asked him, ‘Are these things so?’ And Stephen
replied: ‘Brothers*
and fathers, listen to me. The God of glory
appeared to our ancestor Abraham when he was in
Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran, and said to him, “Leave
your country and your relatives and go to the land that I will
show you.” When they heard these things, they were enraged
and they ground their teeth at Stephen.*
But filled with the Holy
Spirit, he gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus
standing at the right hand of God. ‘Look,’ he said, ‘I see the
heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand
of God!’ But they covered their ears, and with a loud shout all
rushed together against him. Then they dragged him out of the
city and began to stone him; and the witnesses laid their coats at
the feet of a young man named Saul. While they were stoning
Stephen, he prayed, ‘Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.’ Then he
knelt down and cried out in a loud voice, ‘Lord, do not hold this
sin against them.’ When he had said this, he died.*
And Saul
approved of their killing him. ACTS 6: 8–7:3, 7: 54–8:1
The word of the Lord: Thanks be to God.
Gradual Hymn 484 “In Christ there is no east or west” (St.
Bernard # 607)
The Gospel
Gospeller: The Lord be with you.
All: And also with you.
Gospeller: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to Matthew.
All: Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus said, “I send you prophets, sages, and scribes, some of
whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your
synagogues and pursue from town to town, so that upon you
may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood
of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah,
whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. Truly I
tell you, all this will come upon this generation. Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are
sent to it! How often have I desired to gather your children
together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were
not willing! See, your house is left to you, desolate. For I
tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is the one
who comes in the name of the Lord.’” MATTHEW 23:34–39
Gospeller: The Gospel of Christ:
All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

LIFE AND MINISTRY OF OUR COMMUNITY
Church School
Our church school members will be meeting in The Study
(through the doors by the chapel and turn right). Members
return at Communion to rejoin their families.
At Communion, on an experimental basis, the gates at the rail
are being left open. This is to facilitate those receiving
communion standing. It also enables the Communion ministers
to enter and leave the Sanctuary as needed. If you require the
assistance of the Communion rail, please use those at the sides.
No Monday Night Bible study through July and August
Monday night Bible study will resume in The Study on
Monday, September 9th
at 7:00 PM.
August Book Club
Our next book is Jamie Ford's The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter
and Sweet, an historical-fiction bestseller (2009) about the love
and friendship of a Chinese boy and a Japanese girl during the
Japanese internment in World War II. We will gather to discuss
it in The Study on Tuesday, August 6th
, beginning at 10:30
AM. All are welcome, no previous experience necessary.
Open for Taste of the Danforth
This Saturday, August 10th
, St. Barnabas will be opening the

PM. We will need volunteers to welcome the many who come
in. We need volunteers at these times: 11 AM to 12:30 PM;
12:30 PM to 2 PM and 2 PM to 4 PM. If you are able to assist
us, please write your name, phone number and time you would
like to be at the church on the sheet on the back table.
New basket needed for our Deacon’s Cupboard
Does anyone have a large and attractive wicker basket that
would be suitable to hold food donations for our Deacon’s
Cupboard? If you do, please call Mary in the church office and
arrange to bring it in sometime.
New Signs
New signs have been installed and are already being commented
on by the community! They include a new LED sign (digital
display) at the corner of Hampton and Danforth, new directional
signage for the office entrance, and a new sign to replace the
faded and peeling wooden sign near the Chester door.
Gardeners Continue to be Welcome
