10th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Readings are laid out as for the continuous form of the lectionary. Alternative related readings (OT and psalm only) are below. Hymns marked with an asterisk (*) are suggested for more than one reading.
This Sunday is also MHA (Methodist Homes) Sunday. Resources are available for 2023. This year's theme follows 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 – "There is one body, but it has many parts. But all its many parts make up one body." MHA is highlighting the impact of intergenerational activities: what we can learn from each other, and the amazing things we can achieve together. Gift Aid envelopes, leaflets and posters are available to order free of charge.
