3. Children’s Focus led by Mara Harrris
The Proclamation of the Word
A READING FROM THE BOOK OF ACTS 9: 36-43
Read by Dr. Steven Shubert
Now in Joppa there was a disciple whose name was
Tabitha, which in Greek is Dorcas. She was devoted
to good works and acts of charity. At that time she
became ill and died. When they had washed her,
they laid her in a room upstairs. Since Lydda was
near Joppa, the disciples, who heard that Peter was
there, sent two men to him with the request, “Please
come to us
without delay.” So Peter got up and went with them;
and when he arrived, they took him to the room
upstairs. All the widows stood beside him, weeping
and showing tunics and other clothing that Dorcas
had made while she was with them. Peter put all of
them outside, and then he knelt down and prayed.
He turned to the body and said, “Tabitha, get up.”
Then she
opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up. He
gave her his hand and helped her up. Then calling
the saints and widows, he showed her to be alive.
This became known throughout Joppa, and many
believed in the Lord. Meanwhile he stayed in Joppa
for some time with a certain Simon, a tanner.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
4. PSALM 23 (metrical) Hymn 520 “The King of Love my
Shepherd is”
A READING FROM THE BOOK OF REVELATION TO
JOHN 7: 9-17 Read by Fiona Strachan
After this I looked, and there was a great multitude
that no one could count, from every nation, from all
tribes and peoples and languages, standing before
the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with
palm branches in their hands. They cried out in a
loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God
who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!” And
all the angels stood around the throne and around
the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell
on their faces before the throne
and worshipped God, singing, “Amen! Blessing and
glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honour and
power and might be to our God forever and ever!
Amen.” Then one of the elders
addressed me, saying, “Who are these, robed in
white, and where have they come from?” I said to
him, “Sir, you are the one that knows.” Then he said
to me, “These are they who have
come out of the great ordeal; they have washed their
robes and made them white in the blood of the
Lamb. For this reason they are before the throne of
God, and worship him day and night within his
temple, and the one who is seated on the throne will
shelter them. They will hunger no more, and thirst
no more; the
sun will not strike them, nor any scorching heat; for
the Lamb at the centre of the throne will be their
5. shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the
water of life, and God will wipe away
every tear from their eyes.”
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Gospel Alleluia:
Choir: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
All: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Cantor: I am the good shepherd, says the Lord
I know my own sheep and my own
know me.
All: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Gospeller: The Lord be with you.
All: And also with you.
Gospeller: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to John 10: 22-30.
All: Glory be to thee, O Lord.
At that time the festival of the Dedication took place
in Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was walking in
the temple, in the portico of Solomon. So the Jews
gathered around him
and said to him, “How long will you keep us in
suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”
Jesus answered, “I have told you, and you do not
believe. The works that I do in my
Father’s name testify to me; but you do not believe,
because you do not belong to my sheep. My sheep
hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me. I
give them eternal life, and
they will never perish. No one will snatch them out
of my hand. What my Father has given me is greater
6. than all else, and no one can snatch it out of the
Father’s hand. The Father and I
are one.”
Gospeller: The Gospel of Christ:
All: Praise be to thee, O Christ.

Peter and the Dinosaurs – Special Children’s Concert,
Saturday, May 5th, 6:30 PM at St. Barnabas
Dear Friends,
Musica Reflecta has been hard at work putting together our
upcoming concert: or perhaps we should say hard at play.
Taking a cue from the young people who inspire us, we’ve
decided to put on a children’s themed concert that will be fun
for the young and the young at heart!
Join us at St. Barnabas on May 5th for a program featuring
Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, as well as two new pieces by
Canadian composers Chris Thornborrow and Dean Burry. We’re
very excited to be sharing the stage with young performers as
well: the Musica Reflecta chamber orchestra will be joined
onstage by the Mississauga Festival Youth Choir, and young
pianist Laurelle Lassonde.
If that’s not enough to get you as excited as a kid at Christmas,
we are partnering with the visual artists of Madeleine
10. Collective, who are tapping into their childlike imaginations to
create an interactive visual installation coordinated with the
performance.
Doors open at 6 PM and show time is 6:30 PM. Find more info
in the poster below or on our website.
All the best,
The Musica Reflecta Team
Book Club’s next meeting on June 4th
The St. Barnabas Book Club will meet in the Study at 10:30
AM on Tuesday, June 4th to discuss Fugitive Pieces by Ann
Michaels. New members are welcome and encouraged to
attend.
Organ Swell Campaign underway
Launched in Easter Week, phase two of the organ restoration
