NOTICES
Ascension Day
Today is the solemn Christian feast of the
Ascension, when we give thanks for the life with
God that Jesus draws us to be part of with him.
Like many other churches we are celebrating this
great day in our Sunday Parish Eucharist. Today is
also a baptism Sunday and we welcome Maya.
All-Age Pentecost Workshop
Our next All-Age service will be for Pentecost, on
Sunday 24th May. We hope that lots of you will
come to help celebrate the birthday of the Church.
We’ll prepare the music, prayers and some drama
at a workshop on Friday 22nd, from 5pm 6.30pm, followed by refreshments. We want this
to be as ‘all age’ as possible so everybody – adults,
children and teenagers – is very welcome.
Hornsey Parish Church Sewing Bee
We are looking for volunteers to join the Hornsey
Parish Church Sewing Bee to help make curtains
for the Church Hall and so complete our making
Space for God refurbishment. Please help us!
Lotte will be on hand to give guidance and
encouragement, and with a good team it shouldn’t
take too long. Please let Tracey or Lotte know if you
want to join the Bee.
Quiet Day at Pleshey Saturday June 6th
This Quiet Day is an oasis of peace and calm in an
otherwise busy schedule. Cost is just £5. There is a
sign-up sheet at the back of the church.
Christian Aid Week
Thanks to everyone who supported the Coffee
Morning last week which raised £180. Well done to
the organisers.
Christian Aid envelopes are
available in church and can be handed to the
Ministry Team, today or next Sunday, who will
pass them on. This will then be added to the money
already raised at the Lent lunches.
Parish Fellowship
Parish Fellowship meets again this month at 2pm
in the Church Room. This time our speaker will be
Louise Pendoyly from the Church of England
Children’s Society. All are very welcome.
Weekend Retreat 9th -11th October
Our weekend retreat is also taking place at Pleshey,
a very beautiful retreat house in Essex. This is an
opportunity to enjoy some silence and have an
opportunity to pray and reflect in less distracting
surroundings. The cost will be £170. Please speak
to Debbie Langdon Davies. There are bursaries
available if the cost is prohibitive – see Fr Bruce.
There is a sign-up sheet at the back of the church
National Pilgrimage to Walsingham
Monday 25th May is the annual National
Pilgrimage to Walsingham, where our very own Fr
Ben will be serving as a Deacon. A bus is being
organised through Holy Innocents – for more
details please talk to Tim Rooke.
Confirmation
Our parish confirmation will be on Sunday 12th
July this year. If you would like to find out more
about being a confirmation candidate please speak
to Naomi, Fr Bruce, Fr Ben or Tom.
Hornsey Pensioners
Next meeting is themed Should hearing loss be an

about the local deafness agency in North Finchley
‘Hearing Connect’. Arrive from 1.30pm for a
2pm start, Wednesday 20th May in the Marian
Centre.
New Pilgrim Course
This June we are hoping to run the Pilgrim course
at Church, a fellowship course about sharing the
big questions of faith held in small house groups.
We're finalising days and times, but if you'd like to
know more please sign up on the sheet at the back
of church.
Haringey Foodbank
The Food Bank takes place at Holy Trinity Church
every Sunday between 1.30pm and 3.30pm.
If you are interested in helping, please contact
Mari-Wyn
on
07904
959771
or
[email protected]. Non-perishable food
donations can be left in the box at the back of
church, near the font. At the moment, we are short
of sugar, tinned fruit, tinned vegetables, and oil,
but we have more than enough pasta.
Recorder Consort
We are re-launching the recorder consort which
there used to be here - both for the fun of playing
music together and in order to contribute to the
very occasional service or other event. Age is
unimportant, but players should be able to play
music of moderate difficulty one or two to a part
with limited rehearsals, so it is unlikely to suit
school players unless they have a fair bit of musical
experience. Time commitment will be limited. If
you are interested, please contact Chris Ward via
[email protected] or 8348-0921

that shall not pass away,

FIRST READING
A reading from the Book of Daniel (7:9-14)
As I watched,
thrones were set in place,
and an Ancient One took his throne;
his clothing was white as snow,
and the hair of his head like pure wool;
his throne was fiery flames,
and its wheels were burning fire.
A stream of fire issued
and flowed out from his presence.
A thousand thousand served him,
and ten thousand times ten thousand stood
attending him.
The court sat in judgement,
and the books were opened.
I watched then because of the noise of the arrogant
words that the horn was speaking. And as I watched,
the beast was put to death, and its body destroyed and
given over to be burned with fire. As for the rest of the
beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives
were prolonged for a season and a time. As I watched
in the night visions,
I saw one like a human being
coming with the clouds of heaven.
And he came to the Ancient One
and was presented before him.
To him was given dominion
and glory and kingship,
that all peoples, nations, and languages
should serve him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
PSALM 47
Response (All): Sing praises to God, sing
praises to God, the King of all the earth.
Choir: Clap your hands together, all your peoples;
O sing to God with shouts of joy.
For the Lord Most High is to be feared;
he is the great King over all the earth.
Response (all)
Choir: He subdued the peoples under us
and the nations under our feet.
He has chosen our heritage for us,
the pride of Jacob, whom he loves.
Response (all)
Choir: God has gone up with a merry noise,
the Lord with the sound of the trumpet.
O Sing praises to God, sing praises;
sing praises to our King, sing praises.
Response (all)
Choir: For God is the King of all the earth;
sing praises with all your skill.
God reigns over the nations;
God has taken his seat upon his holy throne.
Response (all)
Choir: The nobles of the peoples are gathered
together
with the people of the God of Abraham.
For the powers of the earth belong to God
and he is very highly exalted.
Response (all)
SECOND READING
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (1:1-11)
In the first book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that
Jesus did and taught from the beginning until the day
when he was taken up to heaven, after giving
instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles
whom he had chosen. After his suffering he presented
himself alive to them by many convincing proofs,
appearing to them over the course of forty days and
speaking about the kingdom of God. While staying
with them, he ordered them not to leave Jerusalem,
but to wait there for the promise of the Father. ‘This’,
he said, ‘is what you have heard from me; for John
baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the
Holy Spirit not many days from now.’
So when they had come together, they asked him,
‘Lord, is this the time when you will restore the
kingdom to Israel?’ He replied, ‘It is not for you to
know the times or periods that the Father has set by
his own authority. But you will receive power when
the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my
witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and
to the ends of the earth.’ When he had said this, as
they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took
him out of their sight. While he was going and they
were gazing up towards heaven, suddenly two men in
white robes stood by them. They said, ‘Men of Galilee,
why do you stand looking up towards heaven? This
Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven,
will come in the same way as you saw him go into
heaven.’.
Reader: This is the word of the Lord
Response (all): Thanks be to God
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
Choir: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
All: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Cantor: Go and make disciples of all nations, says the
Lord. Remember, I am with you always, to the end of
the age.
All: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
GOSPEL READING
Hear the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ according
to St Luke (24:44-end)
Then he said to them, ‘These are my words that I
spoke to you while I was still with you—that
everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the
prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled.’ Then he
opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and
he said to them, ‘Thus it is written, that the Messiah is
to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day,
and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be
proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from
Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And see,
I am sending upon you what my Father promised; so
stay here in the city until you have been clothed with
power from on high.’
Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and, lifting up
his hands, he blessed them. While he was blessing
them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into
heaven. And they worshipped him, and returned to
Jerusalem with great joy; and they were continually in
the temple blessing God.
Reader: This is the Gospel of the Lord
Response (all): Praise to you O Christ
POST COMMUNION PRAYER
God our Father, you have raised our humanity
in Christ and have fed us with the bread of
heaven: mercifully grant that, nourished with
such spiritual blessings, we may set our hearts
in the heavenly places; through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.
