Trinity IV Collect
Let us pray: Loving God, in the referendum that lies before us, in the challenge of seeking an answer, in our differences of opinion, in our need to understand, may you guide us in our decisions, make us gracious in our disagreement, and may we join you to work for the building of your kingdom rather than our own. Amen
Amen The first reading is from the Book of Galatians Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian. So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. (Galatians 3: 23-29)
This is the Word of the Lord Thanks be to God Psalm 22. 19-28 (Pg.469)
Listen to the Gospel of Christ according to Luke Glory to you, O Lord.

On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbour?” In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’ “Which of these three do you think was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.” (Luke 10. 25-37)
This is the Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you O Christ. Post Communion Prayer Eternal God, comfort of the afflicted and healer of the broken, you have fed us at the table of life and hope: teach us the ways of gentleness and peace, that all the world may acknowledge the kingdom of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

NOTICES WELCOME SERVICE FOR REVD JORDAN: Next Sunday (June 26th) we will all come together as a community at the 10am service to welcome our new Curate Revd Jordan and his wife Krisi. It would great if as many people as possible could join us for this service, to show support for our new Curate and his family. Please note that there will be no 8am service next Sunday, as we are all coming together at the 10am service. EU REFERENDUM: The church will be used as a polling station for the EU referendum on Thursday (June 23rd). Please do remember to vote on this important decision in the life of our country. EVENING SERVICE ON 3RD JULY: For the evening service on 3rd July, we will be visiting Llandaff Cathedral for their Evensong at 3.30pm, to celebrate Owen Hurrell being made into a full chorister at the Cathedral. There will, therefore, be no 6pm service at Christ Church on Sunday 3rd July. If anyone would like a lift please can you let Revd Trystan know. GOOD COMPANIONS: For many years the Good Companions Group has been carrying out a wonderful service for those needing companionship and conversation in our local community. We would love this to carry on, as so many people have got, and continue to get, so much from this group. Good Companions meet every Tuesday at 2pm. The dedicated team of helpers desperately need further help in terms of 1) drivers to transport elderly people to and from their homes to the church hall 2) helpers to make tea and coffee and to chat 5
to those attending. Please do consider offering to help in any way you can, as it would be wonderful if we were able to continue to strengthen this worthwhile outreach to our local community. Please talk to Norma Ash or to Revd Trystan for more details. PARISH PRAYER BOARD: you are encouraged to post any prayer intentions on our Prayer Board outside the Lady Chapel. These intentions will be prayed for in the parish Prayer Group which meets every Wednesday at 10am in the Lady Chapel. Please do consider joining us if you can.

THURSDAY 9.30am EUCHARIST: The Eucharist is on 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month. There is tea and coffee afterwards. Numbers are growing, so come and join us!
