The Proclamation of the Word
A READING FROM THE BOOK OF HOSEA
Read by Teresa Johnson
When the Lord first spoke through Hosea, the Lord said to
Hosea, “Go, take for yourself a wife of whoredom and have
children of whoredom, for the land commits great whoredom by
forsaking the Lord.” So he went and took Gomer, daughter of
Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son. And the Lord
said to him, “Name him Jezreel; for in a little while I will punish
the house of Jehu for the blood of Jezreel, and I will put an end to
the kingdom of the house of Israel. On that day I will break the
bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.” She conceived again and
bore a daughter. Then the Lord said to him, “Name her Lo-
ruhamah, for I will no longer have pity on the house of Israelor
forgive them. But I will have pity on the house of Judah, and I will
save them by the Lord their God; I will not save them by bow, or
by sword, or by war, or by horses, or by horsemen.” When she
had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived
and bore a son. Then the Lord said, “Name him Lo-ammi, for you
are not my people and I am not your God.” Yet the number
of the people of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which can
be neither measured nor numbered; and in the place where it was
said to them, “You are not my people,” it shall be said to them,
“Children of the living God.” HOSEA 1:2–10
The word of the Lord: Thanks be to God.
PSALM 85 (said responsively)
You have been gracious to your land, O Lord,
you have restored the good fortune of Jacob.
You have forgiven the iniquity of your people
and blotted out all their sins.
You have withdrawn all your fury
and turned yourself from your wrathful indignation.
Restore us then, O God our Saviour;
let your anger depart from us.
Will you be displeased with us for ever?
will you prolong your anger from age to age?
Will you not give us life again,
that your people may rejoice in you?
Show us your mercy, O Lord,
and grant us your salvation.
I will listen to what the Lord God is saying,
for he is speaking peace to his faithful people
and to those who turn their hearts to him.
Truly, his salvation is very near to those who fear him,
that his glory may dwell in our land.
Mercy and truth have met together;
righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Truth shall spring up from the earth,
and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
The Lord will indeed grant prosperity,
and our land will yield its increase.
3. Righteousness shall go before him,
and peace shall be a pathway for his feet.
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 LETTER OF PAUL TO THE COLOSSIANS
Read by Fiona Strachan
As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to
live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him and established
in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and
empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the
elemental spirits of the universe, and not according to Christ. For
in him the whole fullness of deity
dwells bodily, and you have come to fullness in him, who is the
head of every ruler and authority. In him also you were
circumcised with a spiritual circumcision, by putting off the body
of the flesh in the circumcision of Christ; when you were buried
with him in baptism, you were also raised with him through faith
in the power of God, who raised him from the dead. And when
you were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh,
God made you alive together with him, when he forgave us all our
trespasses, erasing the record that stood against us with its legal
demands. He set this aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the
rulers and authorities and made a public example of them,
triumphing over them in it.
Therefore do not let anyone condemn you in matters of food and
drink or of observing festivals, new moons, or sabbaths. These are
only a shadow of what is to come, but the substance belongs to
Christ. Do not let anyone disqualify you, insisting on self-
abasement and worship of angels, dwelling on visions, puffed up
without cause by a human way of thinking, and not holding fast to
the head, from whom the whole body, nourished and held
together by its ligaments and sinews, grows with a growth that
is from God. COLOSSIANS 2:6–19
The word of the Lord: Thanks be to God.
Gradual Hymn 40 “O spirit of the living God”
The Gospel
Gospeller: The Lord be with you.
All: And also with you.
Gospeller: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to Luke.
All: Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus was praying in a certain place, and after he had finished, one
of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught
his disciples.” He said to them, “When you pray, say:
Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us
each day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves
forgive everyone indebted to us. And do not bring us to the time
of trial.” And he said to them, “Suppose one of you has a friend,
and you go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me
three loaves of bread; for a friend of mine has
arrived, and I have nothing to set before him.’ And he answers
from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door has already been locked,
and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give you
anything.’ I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him
anything because he is his friend, at least because of his
persistence he will get up and give him whatever he needs. So I say
to you, Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find;
knock, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who
asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone
who knocks, the door will be opened. Is there anyone among you
who, if your child asks for a fish, will give a snake instead of a
fish? Or if the child asks for an egg, will give a scorpion? If you
then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to
those who ask him!” LUKE 11:1–13
Gospeller: The Gospel of Christ:
All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

The Lord’s Prayer (sung) McNeil Robinson
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name,
your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in
heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from evil,
For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and
for ever. Amen.
The Breaking of the Bread
Celebrant: We break this bread,
All: Communion in Christ’s body once broken
Celebrant: Let your church be the wheat which bears its
fruit in dying
All: If we have died with him, we shall live with
him; if we hold firm, we shall reign with him.
Doxology (All stand as able)
Presider: All your works praise you, O Lord.
All: And your faithful servants bless you.
Gracious God
we thank you for feeding us
with the body and blood of your Son
Jesus Christ.
May we, who share his body,
live his risen life; we, who drink his cup,
bring life to others; we, whom the Spirit lights,
give light to the world.
Keep us firm in the hope you have set before
us, so that we and all your children shall be
free, and the whole earth live to praise your
name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

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) with Mara
Harris. 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
On Saturday, August 10th
St. Barnabas will be opening the
doors to welcome visitors to our church between 11 AM and 4
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 2PM 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 Signage Expected
Be on watch for a whole new look on the Danforth. New
signage is in preparation and should be ready for installation
soon. This will 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 green sign which will be given honourable
retirement and perhaps repurposed indoors.
6. Gardeners Continue to be Welcome
Several members have contributed time and plants to the parish
garden. Please feel free to come by and pull a few weeds and
root around in the ground. Access can be arranged care of the
church office.
