Primrose Hill. His first mass will be in our church
on Wednesday 24th June at 7.30pm. If you would
like to contribute to a gift for Fr Ben to mark this

Quiet Day at Pleshey Saturday June 6th
This Quiet Day is an oasis of peace and calm in an
otherwise busy schedule. We leave church at 9am,
back home by 5pm. Cost is just £5, with bring and
share picnic lunch. There is a sign-up sheet at the
back of the church.
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
Christian Aid
Christian Aid envelopes can still be handed in.
Contributions will be added to the money already
raised at the Lent lunches and the Coffee Morning.
Big Lunch Community Picnic
The Big Lunch is a nation-wide picnic on the 1st
Sunday in June, every year, encouraging us to get
to know our local community.
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
Please join us on 7th June at Priory Common
Orchard N8 at 1pm. Enjoy freshly picked salad
from the community garden, and music from
Stacey Cohen. Bring a flask of hot water to make
fresh herbal teas.
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.
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.

The Food Bank takes place at Holy Trinity Church
every Sunday between 1.30pm and 3.30pm.

FIRST READING
A reading from the Prophet Isaiah (6:1-18)
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord
sitting on a throne, high and lofty; and the hem of his
robe filled the temple. Seraphs were in attendance
above him; each had six wings: with two they covered
their faces, and with two they covered their feet, and
with two they flew. And one called to another and
said:
‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory.’
The pivots on the thresholds shook at the voices of
those who called, and the house filled with smoke.
And I said: ‘Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of
unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips;
yet my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!’
Then one of the seraphs flew to me, holding a live coal
that had been taken from the altar with a pair of tongs.
The seraph touched my mouth with it and said: ‘Now
that this has touched your lips, your guilt has departed
and your sin is blotted out.’ Then I heard the voice of
the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go
for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I; send me!’
Response (All): May the Lord bless his people
with peace.
Choir: Ascribe to the Lord, you powers of heaven,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the honour due to his name;
worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
Response (all)
Choir: The voice of the Lord is upon the waters;
the God of glory thunders; the Lord is upon the
mighty water.
The voice of the Lord is mighty in operation;
the voice of the Lord is a glorious voice
Response (all)
Choir: The voice of the Lord break the cedar trees;
the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon;
He makes Lebanon skip like a calf
and Sirion like a young wild ox.
Response (all)
Choir: The voice of the Lord splits the flash of
lightening;
the voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh
Response (all)
Choir: The voice of the Lord makes the oak trees
writhe
and strips the forests bare;
in his temple all cry, ‘Glory!’
Response (all)
SECOND READING
A reading from the Letter to the Romans (8:12-117
So then, brothers and sisters, we are debtors, not to
the flesh, to live according to the flesh— for if you live
according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit
you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of
God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall
back into fear, but you have received a spirit of
adoption. When we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’ it is that very
Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are
children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of
God and joint heirs with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer
with him so that we may also be glorified with him.
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: I am the way, the truth, and the life, says the
Lord. No one comes to the Father except through me.
All: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
For our Prayers
GOSPEL READING
We remember the departed whose
anniversary occurs this month:
Hear the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ according
to St John (3:1-17)
Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader
of the Jews. He came to Jesus by night and said to
him, ‘Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has
come from God; for no one can do these signs that you
do apart from the presence of God.’ Jesus answered
him, ‘Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom
of God without being born from above.’ Nicodemus
said to him, ‘How can anyone be born after having
grown old? Can one enter a second time into the
mother’s womb and be born?’ Jesus answered, ‘Very
truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God
without being born of water and Spirit. What is born
of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is
spirit. Do not be astonished that I said to you, “You
must be born from above.” The wind blows where it
chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not
know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is
with everyone who is born of the Spirit.’ Nicodemus
said to him, ‘How can these things be?’ Jesus
answered him, ‘Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you
do not understand these things?
‘Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know and
testify to what we have seen; yet you do not receive
our testimony. If I have told you about earthly things
and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell
you about heavenly things? No one has ascended into
heaven except the one who descended from heaven,
the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the
serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be
lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have
eternal life.
‘For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him may not perish
but may have eternal life.
‘Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to
condemn the world, but in order that the world might
be saved through him.
Reader: This is the Gospel of the Lord
Response (all): Praise to you O Christ
