Collect of the Day
Almighty God, you call your Church to witness that in Christ we
are reconciled to you. Help us so to proclaim the good news of
your love, that all who hear it may turn to you; through Jesus
Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
The Proclamation of The Word
First Lesson: Jeremiah 4:11-12, 22-28
At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem: A hot
wind comes from me out of the bare heights in the desert toward my
poor people, not to winnow or cleanse--a wind too strong for that.
Now it is I who speak in judgment against them. “For my people are
foolish, they do not know me; they are stupid children, they have no
understanding. They are skilled in doing evil, but do not know how
to do good.” I looked on the earth, and lo, it was waste and void; and
to the heavens, and they had no light. I looked on the mountains, and
lo, they were quaking, and all the hills moved to and fro. I looked,
and lo, there was no one at all, and all the birds of the air had fled. I
looked, and lo, the fruitful land was a desert, and all its cities were
laid in ruins before the LORD, before his fierce anger. For thus says
the LORD: The whole land shall be a desolation; yet I will not make
a full end. Because of this the earth shall mourn, and the heavens
above grow black; for I have spoken, I have purposed; I have not
relented nor will I turn back.

.
Reader: Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church.
All: Thanks be to God.
Psalm 14 Chant: George Black .................................................. p. 717
Refrain: The Lord looks down from heav’n upon us all.
Second Lesson: 1 Timothy 1:12-17
I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me,
because he judged me faithful and appointed me to his service, even
though I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a man of
violence. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in
unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith
and love that are in Christ Jesus. The saying is sure and worthy of
full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save
sinners--of whom I am the foremost. But for that very reason I
received mercy, so that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might
display the utmost patience, making me an example to those who
would come to believe in him for eternal life. To the King of the
ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever
and ever. Amen.
Reader: Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church.
All: Thanks be to God.
Gradual Hymn 352 “Amazing Grace” ..................................... NEW BRITAIN
Gospeller: The Lord be with you.
All: And also with you.
Gospeller: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke.
All: Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to
him. And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying,
“This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them." So he told them
this parable: “Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing
one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go
after the one that is lost until he finds it? When he has found it, he
lays it on his shoulders and rejoices. And when he comes home, he
calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, ‘Rejoice
with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ Just so, I tell
you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents
than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
4
“Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them,
does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until
she finds it? When she has found it, she calls together her friends
and neighbours, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin
that I had lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the
angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
(Luke 15:1-10)
Gospeller: The Gospel of Christ.
All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Sermon: The Rev. Lisa Newland
Presentation and Examination of the Candidate
Celebrant: The candidate for Holy Baptism will now be presented.
Parents and sponsors
I present Avery Renee Raymond to receive the
sacrament of baptism.
Celebrant: Will you be responsible for seeing that the child you present
is nurtured in the faith and life of the Christian community?
Parents and sponsors: I will, with God’s help.
Celebrant: Will you by your prayers and witness help this child to grow
into the full stature of Christ?
Parents and sponsors: I will, with God’s help.
The Celebrant asks the following questions,
Question: Do you renounce Satan and all the spiritual forces of
wickedness that rebel against God?
Answer: I renounce them.
Question: Do you renounce the evil powers of this world which corrupt
and destroy the creatures of God?
Answer: I renounce them.
Question: Do you renounce all sinful desires that draw you from the
love of God?
Answer: I renounce them.
Question: Do you turn to Jesus Christ and accept him as your Saviour?
Answer: I do.
Question: Do you put your whole trust in his grace and love?
Answer: I do.
Question: Do you promise to obey him as your Lord?
Answer: I do.
5
After all have been presented, the Celebrant addresses the congregation,
saying:
Will you who witness these vows do all in your power to support
this person in her life in Christ?
People: We will.
Prayers for the Candidate
And now let us pray for Avery Renee who is to receive the
sacrament of new birth.
Leader: Deliver her, O Lord, from the way of sin and death.
People: Lord, hear our prayer.
Leader: Open her heart to your grace and truth.
People: Lord, hear our prayer.
Leader: Fill her with your holy and life-giving Spirit.
People: Lord, hear our prayer.
Leader: Teach her to love others in the power of the Spirit.
People: Lord, hear our prayer.
Leader: Send her into the world in witness to your love.
People: Lord, hear our prayer.
Leader: Bring her to the fullness of your peace and glory.
People: Lord, hear our prayer.
The Leader concludes:
Grant, O Lord, that all who are baptized into the death of
Jesus Christ your Son may live in the power of his
resurrection and look for him to come again in glory; who
lives and reigns now and forever. Amen.
The Celebration of Baptism
Thanksgiving over the Water
Celebrant: The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.
Celebrant: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People: It is right to give him thanks and praise.
Celebrant We thank you, Almighty God, for the gift of water. Over it the
Holy Spirit moved in the beginning of creation. Through it
you led the children of Israel out of their bondage in Egypt
into the land of promise. In it your Son Jesus received the
baptism of John and was anointed by the Holy Spirit as the
6
Messiah, the Christ, to lead us, through his death and
resurrection, from the bondage of sin into everlasting life. We
thank you, Father, for the water of Baptism. In it we are
buried with Christ in his death. By it we share in his
resurrection. Through it we are reborn by the Holy Spirit.
Therefore in joyful obedience to your Son, we celebrate our
fellowship in him in faith. We pray that all who have passed
through the water of baptism may continue for ever in the
risen life of Jesus Christ our Saviour. To him, to you, and to
the Holy Spirit, be all honour and glory, now and for ever.
Amen. The Celebrant then says,
Let us join with those who are committing themselves to
Christ and renew our own baptismal covenant.
The Baptismal Covenant
Celebrant: Do you believe in God the Father?
People: I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven
and earth.
Celebrant: Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God?
People: I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was
conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the
Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was
crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the
dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into
heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He
will come again to judge the living and the dead.
Celebrant Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit?
People: I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the
communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Celebrant Will you continue in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in
the breaking of bread, and in the prayers?
People: I will, with God's help.
Celebrant Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall
into sin, repent and return to the Lord?
People : I will, with God's help.
Celebrant: Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of
God in Christ?
People: I will, with God’s help.
7
Celebrant: Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your
neighbour as yourself?
People: I will, with God’s help.
Celebrant: Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and
respect the dignity of every human being?
People: I will, with God's help.
Celebrant: Will you strive to safeguard the integrity of God’s creation,
and respect, sustain and renew the life of the Earth?
People: I will with God’s help.
The Baptism
The candidate is presented by name to the Celebrant, who then
immerses, or pours water upon, the candidate, saying
Avery Renee Raymond, I baptize you in the Name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The Celebrant makes the sign of the cross using Chrism on the forehead
and saying
I sign you with the cross, and mark you as Christ's own for ever.
Amen.
The Celebrant, at a place in full sight of the congregation, prays over the
newly baptized, saying
Heavenly Father, we thank you that by water and the Holy Spirit
you have bestowed upon this your servant the forgiveness of sin,
and have raised her to the new life of grace.
Sustain her, O Lord, in your Holy Spirit. Give her an inquiring
and discerning heart, the courage to will and to persevere, a spirit
to know and to love you, and the gift of joy and wonder in all
your works. Amen.
The Giving of the Light
The Celebrant may then give to the newly baptized a lighted candle,
saying:
Receive the light of Christ, to show that you have passed from
darkness to light.
When the newly baptized has received the candle, the people say,
Let your light so shine before others that they may see your
good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
8
Celebrant: Let us welcome the newly baptized.
People: We receive you into the household of God. Confess the
faith of Christ crucified, proclaim his resurrection, and
share with us in his eternal priesthood.
The Peace
All stand
Celebrant: The peace of the Lord be always with you
People: And also with you.

Jeremiah 4:11–12, 22–28
Jeremiah prophesied to Judah and Jerusalem between 625
and 587 BCE, during the reign of the last Kings of Judah. His
work unfolded during the period when Judah was under
increasing pressure and threat first from the Assyrian empire
and then from the Babylonian empire, which eventually
besieged and destroyed Jerusalem in 587. Politically during
this period Judah entered into treaties with anyone they
thought might help them against the Assyrians to whom they
were paying tribute. The tribute caused high taxation and
increasing poverty and injustice to the poor. Today’s
reading, drawn from chapter 4 of the book announces
God’s judgment which will be in the form in the form of
invasion from the north (vv. 5-8, 11-18)). The chapter also
introduces two other themes which play a significant part in
Jeremiah’s experience along with all the other Judahites
caught up in the storm of destruction and exile. One theme
is the image of Jerusalem as a poor woman suffering as her
home and family are uprooted and destroyed (vv. 19-21, 31)
while the rich complacent women of the city ignore reality
and focus their lives on fashion and luxury (30). The second
theme, found in chapter 4 for the first time, is that of the
sense of God misleading and betraying the people (vv. 9-
10), which seems very much to have been part of
Jeremiah’s own experience as a prophet of God. In the final
part of our reading today we hear a description of the world
being un-created, coming apart at the seams (vv. 23-28),
the inevitable result when humans forget how to do the
good for which they and the world were created, and
become completely absorbed in evil and oppressive
behaviour.) [Walter Deller/2016]

TRUTH & RECONCILIATION LECTURE with Bishop Mark
MacDonald at St. James Cathedral
Time: Wednesday, September 21 2016, Refreshments - 6:30 pm, Public
Lecture - 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm, followed by Q & A.
Speaker: Bishop Mark MacDonald, National Indigenous Anglican
Bishop
Topic: “The Doctrine of Discovery and Our Relationship to the Land”
What is “the Doctrine of Discovery?” Where do we find ourselves and
how is our relationship with the land shaped by faith and colonialism?
Please join us as we unpack the theological assumptions that informed
the colonization, settling, and establishment of Canada. This lecture, and
greater ongoing series on Truth and Reconciliation, is in response to the
59th “Call to Action” of the Truth and Reconciliation Report. Article 59
calls Churches to offer education on their role in colonization and its
effect on Indigenous communities. Please join us for what will be a night
of deep listening and reflection. All are welcome.
ANNUAL WALKATHON ~ Saturday, October 1st. This year’s route
will bring us back to the Betty Sutherland Trail, walking along the Don

refreshments.
It only takes 3 easy steps.
1. Add your name to the list in the hall, and pick up some sponsor
sheets.
2. Ask your family, friends and neighbours to sponsor you in
support of St. Matthew’s.
3. Lace up your sneakers and bring your sponsor sheets and money

The walk will take about an hour after which we will return to the church

information: Janice Sanders, 416-491-6422, [email protected]

FOOD DRIVE FOR REFUGEES ~ Have you supported The Oriole
Food Space? Two more weeks! The Foodspace asks for: rice, canned
vegetables, (low sodium if possible) canned/packaged fruit (low sugar if
possible) beans/lentils, proteins (tuna, nut butter) baby products. Please
leave your items in the big brown bin in the Narthex. Talk to Kyn Barker

years past, empty jars may be left in the blue Food Bank Box in the
Narthex. The Pantry appreciates any donations of your preserves to add

for children between the ages of 3-6, under the direction of Susan Porter,
uses an exciting and engaging curriculum called SPARK! Each week,
children will gather together to explore the week’s Bible story, enjoy fun
activities, pray, and grow in faith. Whether you are able to come every
week or once in a while, we look forward to welcoming your little ones!
BOOKS ~ We are asking parishioners and friends in the community who
support St. Matthew’s to please DISCONTINUE DONATING books of
any kind for our sales. The lifting, displaying them, then returning the
books for storage has become too much for the volunteers to handle. We
appreciate all the donations in the past but ask, in future, if you would
dispose of books elsewhere.
15
PHOTO CONSENT FORM ~ Pictures could be used to promote the
Church’s mission in a variety of media: illustrations, bulletins,
exhibitions, videotapes, reprints, reproductions, publications,
advertisements, and any promotional or educational materials in any
medium now known or later developed, including the Internet. To keep
compliant with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic
Documents Act, passed in 2004, we ask that all parishioners fill-out, sign
and return either the Photograph and Publicity Release Form or Photo
Exception Form. Both forms are available at the back of the church, or
from your Sidesperson or the Office. As required by law, this
information will be kept confidential.
PHOTOGRAPHS AND VIDEOS ~ Wilf McOstrich, parishioner, and a
Communications Committee member has graciously offered to take
pictures in preparation to populate our revised website. So from time to
time, you may see Wilf snapping, random shots in and around the
church, or asking you to pose. Also, don’t be surprised if some other
parishioners take pictures or videos, too. As always, privacy is top-of-
mind, so please be reassured that before using any of these shots,
permission of those in the image(s) – still or moving - will be sought, if
we do not already have your OK on file. So thank you, in advance for
your support in helping us to maintain, and build, connection with people
beyond our principal Sunday gathering.
PRE-AUTHORIZED REMITTANCE (PAR) ~
Each Christian “should give, then, as they have decided, not with
regret or out of a sense of duty; for God loves a cheerful giver.”
(2 Corinthians 9:7)
In today’s age of electronic giving, the PAR program helps
congregations receive the offering through automatic debit. Our church
has on-going commitments that need our regular support. Because the
church is important to us, we are each called to make a financial
commitment to enable the ministry of our church to flourish.
Preauthorized Remittance (PAR) makes it easier for us to fulfil our
commitment. Using the PAR program for offerings allows
congregational members and adherents to give intentionally,
proportionally and faithfully to the church, even when they are not able
to be there in person. This helps provide the church with a dependable
flow of contributions, makes budgeting easier and reduces paper work.
16
Your donation will be deducted directly from your bank account on the
17th of each month. PAR Remittance forms and envelopes can be
found in the Narthex, or please ask a Sidesperson for assistance. If you
are a new member to the Parish and your choice of giving is by
envelope please inform the office at 416-494-7020 or email
[email protected], giving your name, address and telephone
number. Also state whether you want monthly or weekly envelopes.
A PRAYER FOR MISSION ~ Every day, all of us at St. Matthew are
invited to pray for/about the missional work in our community. Lord, we
know You are a God of mission, and You call us to follow you into the
world. Help us to listen to Your voice in each other, in our parishioners
and in our wider community. Amen.
