Reading - Apocalypse 14:13
“Happy are those who die in the Lord”
Read by Stewart
A reading from the book of the Apocalypse
I, John, heard a voice from heaven say to me,
‘Write down: Happy are those who die in the Lord!
Happy indeed, the Spirit says;
now they can rest for ever after their work,
since their good deeds go with them.’
The word of the Lord.
v
Reading - Psalm 22
Read by Olivia
The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose.
Near restful waters he leads me, to revive my drooping spirit.
All: “The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want”
He guides me along the right path; he is true to his name.
If I should walk in the valley of darkness no evil would I fear.
You are there with your crook and your staff;
with these you give me comfort.
All: “The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want”
You have prepared a banquet for me in the sight of my foes.
My head you have anointed with oil; my cup is overflowing.
All: “The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want”
Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life.
In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell for ever and ever.
All: “The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want”
v
Gospel - John 6:51-58
“Anyone who eats this bread has eternal life,
and I shall raise him up on the last day”

Priest
God, the almighty Father, raised Christ His Son from the dead;
With confidence we ask him to save all his people, living and dead:
Reader
For Joaquim who in baptism was given the pledge of eternal life,
that he may now be admitted to the company of the saints.
Lord, in your mercy:
All: Hear our prayer
For our brother who ate the body of Christ, the bread of life,
that he may be raised up on the last day.
Lord, in your mercy:
All: Hear our prayer
For our deceased relatives and friends and for all who have helped us,
that they may have the reward if their goodness.
Lord, in your mercy:
All: Hear our prayer
For those who have fallen asleep in the hope of rising again,
that they may see God face to face.
Lord, in your mercy:
All: Hear our prayer
For the family and friends of our brother Joaquim, that they may
be consoled in their grief by the Lord, who wept at the
death of his friend Lazarus.
Lord, in your mercy:
All: Hear our prayer
For all who are assembled here to worship in faith,
that we may be gathered together again in God's Kingdom.
Lord, in your mercy:
All: Hear our prayer
