*Indicates the people stand as they are able. Page numbers are found in the red Book of Common Prayer in the pews.

The Word of God Prelude Rock of Ages .......................................... Seth Bingham

*Hymn 390 Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

*Opening Acclamation ........................................................... p. 355 Christ is risen. The Lord is risen indeed.

*Collect for Purity 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.

*The Gloria .................................................................... Hymn S-280 Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth.

Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory.

Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us; you are seated at the right hand of the Father: receive our prayer.

3

For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

The Collect and Readings are found in the Lectionary insert.

*Collect of the Day

The First Reading The Psalm The Second Reading *Hymn 677 God moves in a mysterious way *The Holy Gospel Sermon ............................................ The Rev. Pierre-Henry Buisson *The Nicene Creed (in unison)

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.

4

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.

*Prayers of the People ............................................... Form I, p. 383 Confession of Sin (in unison, kneeling)

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.

5

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.

*The Peace Birthday & Anniversary Prayers O God, our times are in your hands: look with favor, we pray, on your servants as they begin another year. Grant that they may grow in wisdom and grace. Send your blessings upon them, that their homes may be a haven of peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Announcements

The Holy Communion

The Offertory Anthem With a voice of singing *The Presentation .............................................. Hymn 380, verse 3 *The Great Thanksgiving ......................................... Prayer B, p. 367

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

6

It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. You bid your faithful people cleanse their hearts, and prepare with joy for the Paschal feast; that, fervent in prayer and in works of mercy, and renewed by your Word and Sacraments, they may come to the fullness of grace which you have prepared for those who love you. 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: *Sanctus ..................................................................... Hymnal S-125

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, Lord God of Hosts: Heaven and earth are full of thy glory. Glory be to thee, O Lord Most High. Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

*The people stand or kneel.

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

7

for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me."

Therefore, according to his command, O Father, 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 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 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. AMEN.

*The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom,

8

and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

*The Breaking of the Bread *Fraction Hymn ............................................................. Hymn S-154

Alleluia. Alleluia, alleluia. Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us; Therefore let us keep the feast. Alleluia. Alleluia, alleluia.

The Communion

All who are baptized in Jesus Christ are invited to share in the banquet of the Lord's Supper.

Hymn 487 Come, my Way, my Truth, my Light Sending of the Eucharistic Visitor

In the name of this congregation, I send you to those who are homebound, that they share with us in the communion of Christ’s body and blood. We who are many are one body because we all share in one bread, one cup.

*The Prayer of Thanksgiving (in unison) ............................... p. 366

Almighty and everliving God, we thank you for feeding us with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and for assuring us in these holy mysteries that we are living members of the Body of your Son, and heirs of your eternal kingdom. And now, Father, send us out to do the work you have given us to do, to love and serve you as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord. To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit,

9

be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.

*The Blessing *Hymn 522 Glorious things of thee are spoken *Dismissal

Let us go forth in the name of Christ. Thanks be to God.

To Receive Communion Our custom in the Episcopal Church is to welcome all who are baptized to receive the bread and wine at communion. If you are not baptized, or would prefer not to receive communion, you are invited to come forward for a blessing instead. At the direction of the ushers, please come forward to the altar rail; kneel (or stand) and receive the bread in your cupped hands. You may eat the bread and drink the wine from the cup or you may dip the bread in the cup before consuming it. Gluten-free wafers are available upon request.

Hearing Devices Available The ushers can provide an audio receiver with adjustable volume to enhance your hearing of the service. They are located on the usher's table in the Narthex. Please, return them to the usher's table after the service.
