Lord of the feast, you invite everyone to your banquet; keep from us all that distracts us and stir in us the desire to respond with gladness; through Jesus Christ our Lord; who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Psalm 106: 1-6,20-24
1 Praise the Lord; O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good: and his mercy endures for ever.
2 Who can express the mighty acts of the Lord: or fully voice his praise?
3 Blessed are those who act according to justice: who at all times do the right.
4 Remember me, O Lord, when you visit your people with your favour: and come to me also with your salvation,
5 That I may see the prosperity of your chosen: that I may rejoice with the rejoicing of your people, and exult with those who are your own.
6 We have sinned like our ancestors: we have acted perversely and done wrong.
20 At Horeb they made themselves a calf: and bowed down in worship to an image.
21 And so they exchanged the glory of God: for the likeness of an ox that eats hay.
22 They forgot God who was their saviour: that had done such great things in Egypt,
23 Who had worked his wonders in the land of Ham: and his terrible deeds at the Red Sea.
24 Therefore he thought to destroy them: had not Moses his servant stood before him in the breach to turn away his wrath from destroying them.
Julius Bolligelo, our organ scholar, auditioned to start tertiary studies in music at UCT in 2027 and was accepted. As a parish we are immensely proud and will continue walking this journey alongside him, even after his residency ends. Well done, Julius.
