The First Sunday of Advent

December 3, 2017

7:30 Holy Eucharist, Rite I 10:00 Holy Eucharist, Rite II 5:15 Holy Eucharist, Rite II

Welcome to St. Luke’s Cathedral! We are a community of faith with ancient worship and modern thought, catholic traditions and progressive theology, a Biblical perspective for thinking people, a respect for reason, science, and diversity of perspective, compassion and care for the wider community and one another, and a commitment to radical welcome and inclusion… all modeled on the Kingdom of God that Jesus proclaimed. Whoever you are and wherever you may be in your journey through life, we welcome you! During the school year, our Adult Education programs are at 9:00, Sunday School for K-5 begins at 9:45 with children returning at the peace, and Middle and High School groups meet at 11:30. Child care is available for children four years old and under from 9:30-11:30 all year long. As is our custom, all baptized Christians are most welcome to receive communion. We thank you for coming today and hope you will make the Cathedral your spiritual home. If you are new, please take a moment to sign our guest book and enjoy the material on our welcome table.

Our mission: As a “believe out loud congregation,” St. Luke’s welcomes all people to share in the Episcopal Church’s mission to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Jesus Christ. As a cathedral, St. Luke’s is the seat of the bishop and the chief mission church of the Diocese and people of Maine. With its first service held on Christmas Day in 1868, St. Luke’s continues 150 years of reaching out to the city and people of Portland. The Cathedral Church of St. Luke is proud to be part of the 2.5 million member Episcopal Church USA and the 75 million member world-wide Anglican Communion.

About our worship: Our bulletin includes all the words and music of the service. The congregation’s part is in bold. We stand to sing, sit to listen, and kneel or stand to pray. Worship begins with a prelude and concludes with a postlude. Please respect those who spend these times in quiet and prayer. This entire program is available as a pdf on our website! Please help us care for creation by using your tablet, phone, laptop or other device to follow the service! Bulletins will be put on the website on Fridays. The wifi password in the nave is Trinity3.

Organ Prelude Sleepers wake! J.S. Bach The Lighting of the Advent Candle Processional Hymn 57 Lo! He comes, with clouds descending Helmsley

Opening Acclamation

Celebrant Blessed be God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit People And blessed be God’s kingdom, now and forever. Amen.

The Collect for Purity (read by all) BCP p. 355 Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Celebrant: The Lord be with you. People: And also with you. Celebrant: Let us pray. Collect of the Day

Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The First Lesson Lector: Paul Smith Isaiah 64: 1-9

O that you would tear open the heavens and come down, so that the mountains would quake at your presence-- as when fire kindles brushwood and the fire causes water to boil-- to make your name known to your adversaries, so that the nations might tremble at your presence! When you did awesome deeds that we did not expect, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence. From ages past no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who works for those who wait for him. You meet those who gladly do right, those who remember you in your ways. But you were angry, and we sinned; because you hid yourself we transgressed. We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a filthy cloth. We all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away. There is no one who calls on your name, or attempts to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have delivered us into the hand of our iniquity. Yet, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand. Do not be exceedingly angry, O Lord, and do not remember iniquity forever. Now consider, we are all your people.

Reader: The word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God

Psalm 80: 1-7, 16-18 Chant: Henry Walford Davies

1 Hear, O Shepherd of Israel, leading Joseph like a flock; * shine forth, you that are enthroned upon the cherubim. 2 In the presence of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, * stir up your strength and come to help us. 3 Restore us, O God of hosts; * show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved. 4 O LORD God of hosts, * how long will you be angered despite the prayers of your people? 5 You have fed them with the bread of tears; * you have given them bowls of tears to drink. 6 You have made us the derision of our neighbors, * and our enemies laugh us to scorn. 7 Restore us, O God of hosts; * show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved. 16 Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand, * the son of man you have made so strong for yourself. 17 And so will we never turn away from you; * give us life, that we may call upon your Name. 18 Restore us, O LORD God of hosts; * show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved.

Second Lesson Lector: Ray Davis Murdoch Curry 1 Corinthians 1: 3-9 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that has been given you in Christ Jesus, for in every way you have been enriched in him, in speech and knowledge of every kind-- just as the testimony of Christ has been strengthened among you-- so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you may be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful; by him you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Reader: The word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God.

Sequence Hymn (vs 1-3 ) Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding Merton

Deacon: The Holy Gospel of our Lord according to Mark

People: Glory to you, Lord Christ.

The Gospel Mark 13: 24-37 Jesus said, “In those days, after that suffering, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in clouds’ with great power and glory. Then he will send out the angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates. Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. “But about that day or hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Beware, keep alert; for you do not know when the time will come. It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his slaves in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to be on the watch. Therefore, keep awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or

6

at dawn, or else he may find you asleep when he comes suddenly. And what I say to you I say to all: Keep awake.” Deacon: This is the gospel of the Lord. People: Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Sequence Hymn (vs 4-5 ) Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding Merton The Sermon Dean Shambaugh The Nicene Creed BCP p. 358 We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

The Prayers of the People, Form I John Leddy BCP, p. 383 With all our heart and with all our mind, let us pray to the Lord, saying, "Lord, have mercy." For the peace from above, for the loving-kindness of God, and for the salvation of our souls, let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy. In the Anglican Cycle of Prayer this week we pray for West Buganda in Uganda. In the Diocesan Cycle of Prayer, we pray for the congregations of The Aroostook Episcopal Cluster, St. Paul’s Ft. Fairfield; Church of the Advent, Limestone; St. John’s, Presque Isle. For the peace of the world, for the welfare of the holy Church of God, and for the unity of all peoples, let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy. For our Presiding Bishop, for our Bishop, and for all clergy and people who minister, let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy. For our president, our congress and all in authority, let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy.

For the whole of creation which God has given us, and for the wisdom and will to conserve it, let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy. For the aged and the infirm, for the widowed and the orphans, and for the sick and the suffering. We pray especially for Chris Hyfield (friend of Pat and Fred Fowler). Please add your own petitions. (Pause) Let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy. For the poor and oppressed, for the unemployed and the destitute, for prisoners and captives, and for all who remember and care for them, let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy. For all who have died in the hope of resurrection, especially Luke Griffin (son of Julia Slayton) Please add your own petitions. (Pause) Let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy.

For deliverance from all danger, violence, oppression, and degradation; let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy. That we may end our lives in faith and hope, without suffering and without reproach, let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy. We give thanks for the blessings in our lives. We give thanks for members of our congregation, especially Anne Schink, Julie Schirmer, Sara Schmalz, Karin and David Sears. Please add your own thanksgivings. (Pause) In the communion of blessed Luke and of all the saints, let us commend ourselves, and one another, and all our life, to Christ our God. To thee, O Lord our God. The Confession Deacon: Let us confess our sins to God. Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.

Celebrant: May Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.

The Peace Celebrant: May the peace of the Lord be always with you. People: And also with you. Announcements

The Offering Every quarter in the offering plate provides a meal for a child in Duny, Haiti. Offertory Anthem Words: H. R. Bramley, Music: Charles Wood O Thou, the central orb of righteous love, Pure beam of the most High, eternal Light Of this our wintry world, Thy radiance bright Awakes new joy in faith, hope soars above. Come, quickly come, and let thy glory shine, Gilding our darksome heaven with rays Divine. Thy saints with holy lustre round Thee move, As stars about thy throne, set in the height Of God's ordaining counsel, as Thy sight Gives measured grace to each, Thy power to prove. Let Thy bright beams disperse the gloom of sin, Our nature all shall feel eternal day In fellowship with thee, transforming day To souls erewhile unclean, now pure within. Amen.

The Great Thanksgiving (Eucharistic Prayer B) BCP p. 367

Celebrant: The Lord be with you. People: And also with you. Celebrant: Lift up your hearts. People: We lift them to the Lord. Celebrant: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People: It is right to give our thanks and praise.

It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, God Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. Because you sent your beloved Son to redeem us from sin and death, and to make us heirs in him of everlasting life; that when he shall come again in power and great triumph to judge the world, we may without shame or fear rejoice to behold his appearing. Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:

10

The people stand or kneel. Then the celebrant continues We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life. On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, "Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me." After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, "Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me." Therefore, according to his command, We remember his death, We proclaim his resurrection, We await his coming in glory; And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine. We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with Luke and all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation. By

11

him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. As our Savior Christ has taught us, we now pray, Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and for ever. Amen.

Celebrant: The gifts of God for the People of God. Take them in remembrance that Christ died for you, and feed on him in your hearts by faith, with thanksgiving. Communion of the People Words of welcome (from the Iona Community): “Come to this table, you who have much faith and you who would like to have more; you who have been here often and you who have not been here for a long time; you who have tried to follow Jesus and you who have failed. Come. It is Christ who invites us to meet him here.” Gluten-free hosts are available for those who need them. If you do not wish to receive wine, or only wish a blessing, cross your hands over your chest as you come forward. After communion, you may wish to go to All Saints Chapel (to the right of the high altar) for the Laying on of Hands, anointing with holy oil, and prayers of healing. Anthem Words: from the Matin Responsory for Advent Sunday Music: after Giovanni da Palestrina I look from afar. And lo, I see the power of God coming, and a cloud covering the whole earth. Go ye out to meet him and say: Tell us, art thou he that should come to reign over thy people Israel? High and low, rich and poor, one with another. Go ye out to meet him and say: Hear O thou shepherd of Israel. Thou that leadest Joseph like a sheep. Tell us, art thou he that should come? Stir up thy strength, O Lord, and come to reign over thy people Israel. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

Hymn 64 O heavenly Word, eternal light O Heiland, reiss

Hymn 672 O very God of very God Bangor

Post Communion Prayer BCP p. 365 Celebrant: Let us pray. People: Eternal God, heavenly Father, you have graciously accepted us as living

members of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ, and You have fed us with spiritual food in the sacrament of his body and blood. Send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve you with gladness and singleness of heart; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Blessing Go forth into the world in peace; be of good courage; hold fast that which is good; render to no one evil for evil; strengthen the fainthearted; support the weak; help the afflicted; honor everyone; love and serve the Lord, rejoicing in the power of the Holy Spirit; and the blessing of God almighty, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, be among you and remain with you always.

Welcome Visitors: There are greeters at the door who are available to answer any questions you might have about the Cathedral. Please join us for coffee hour after the service. The Flowers on the altar today are given by Parker and Suzanne Roberts to the Glory of God and in celebration of the life of William James Peterson.

About Today’s Music: The service music we introduce on this first Sunday of Advent might sound familiar to many of you. It comprises the Kyrie, Sanctus, and Fraction Anthem from the St. James Advent Service, published by the St. James Music Press. This service setting is arranged for congregation, optional SATB choir, and organ by British composer, Richard Shephard and it is based on the well-known Advent hymn, People Look East. Because the Kyrie is not an exact quote of the tune, and to facilitate learning, we will sing the Kyrie twice – once with the melody emphasized by the choir and organ and again with more of the accompanying harmonies added. While all are invited to sing both times, some may find it helpful to listen the first time through.

The Explorers are reading Newell’s Listening to the Heartbeat of God, chapter 5, and watching a DVD on Celtic Spirituality. Join us at 8:45am on Sundays in the chapter room. Meet Katie Holicky and learn about the new Portland Area Youth Group! Katie runs the Portland Area Youth Group which we have been invited to join. We are one of four churches, the others being Trinity, Woodfords and Hope Gateway, that are members. The group gets together twice a month for fun and fellowship. We will still meet on Sundays after church but this is an additional chance to spend time together with young folks from other churches in the area. It should be a blast. All youth and their parents are invited to meet with Katie and learn more at 11:30 this morning in the lower hall.

Pledge forms and additional information are available at the entrances or www.stlukesportland.org

Financial update-from the treasurer and finance committee: We are cautiously optimistic about year-end projections for 2017. Our expenses are under control, but our revenues are down. We need your help. If all can pay pledges in full by year end; if we can welcome newcomers to our glorious Advent and Christmas services and concerts, and if we avoid unnecessary expenditures, we will finish the year in the black. We do need everyone's help to make this happen.

Holiday Fair Update: While numbers are still coming in, it looks like the fair will net around $11,000 – a record for St. Luke’s. Thank you Fair Chairs and Volunteers. Congratulations!

Interested in helping immigrants get a home? Supporting Immigrant Tenants (SIT), a program of Community Financial Literacy, is a new group in town with the mission of providing help to new Mainers with by using a revolving loan program for security deposits and running educational sessions on landlord-tenant issues. It is based at Hope Gateway, 185 High Street in Portland (899-2435). As security deposits are the number one request made to St. Luke’s during the week and as the amounts needed are far beyond what the Dean’s Discretionary Fund can provide, I am thrilled that St. Luke’s has used some of its community outreach money to help get the new program up and running. Recognizing St. Luke’s role as one of the founding partners, SIT has offered space for a St. Luke’s member to serve on their board. Please see me If you are interested in this important ministry of helping new immigrants get a place to live. – Dean Shambaugh
