Reverend Doctor Helen-Ann Hartley, Bishop of Ripon, will present a cup to the winners. group of people who have no power, no influence and nothing that holds them together, except
that they have come to believe that Christ is their life and their hope. Yet this little group are
told that they are the ones who know ‘the mystery’ of what God is doing in the world, which is
to bring everything and everyone home to God in Christ. That would have seemed unlikely,
perhaps, except that God had already done that for the Ephesians Christians, witnesses to the
start of the Holy Spirit’s work of reconciliation in Christ.

EPHESIANS 1: 3-14
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with
every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, just as he chose us in Christ before the
foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love. He destined us for
adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, to
the praise of his glorious grace that he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. In him we
have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the
riches of his grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and insight he has made known
to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ, as a
plan for the fullness of time, to gather up all things in him, things in heaven and things on
earth. In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance, having been destined according to
the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will, so that
we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, might live for the praise of his glory. In
him you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and had
believed in him, were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit; this is the pledge
of our inheritance towards redemption as God’s own people, to the praise of his glory.
MARK 6: 14-29
King Herod heard of it, for Jesus’ name had become known. Some were saying, ‘John the
baptizer has been raised from the dead; and for this reason these powers are at work in
him.’ But others said, ‘It is Elijah.’ And others said, ‘It is a prophet, like one of the proph-
ets of old.’ But when Herod heard of it, he said, ‘John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.’
For Herod himself had sent men who arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on
account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because Herod had married her. For John
had been telling Herod, ‘It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.’ And Herodias
had a grudge against him, and wanted to kill him. But she could not, for Herod feared
John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he protected him. When he heard
him, he was greatly perplexed; and yet he liked to listen to him. But an opportunity came
when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his courtiers and officers and for the lead-
ers of Galilee. When his daughter Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his
guests; and the king said to the girl, ‘Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it.’
And he solemnly swore to her, ‘Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my
kingdom.’ She went out and said to her mother, ‘What should I ask for?’ She replied, ‘The
head of John the baptizer.’ Immediately she rushed back to the king and requested, ‘I want
you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.’ The king was deeply
grieved; yet out of regard for his oaths and for the guests, he did not want to refuse her.
Immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard with orders to bring John’s head. He went
and beheaded him in the prison, brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl. Then
the girl gave it to her mother. When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his
body, and laid it in a tomb.
