Holy Eucharist, also known as Communion, is open
to all of the baptized of all denominations. The
Episcopal Church has an open table and you are
invited to participate as you feel comfortable. The
ushers will direct you forward to receive the sacrament. To receive the Eucharist, place your right
palm over your left and you will be given the Bread;
the Wine will be offered and you may guide the chalice
to your lips. If you prefer not to drink from it, leave the
wafer on your palm and the chalice bearer will dip it
in the cup and place it in your mouth. If you wish to
receive a Blessing in lieu of the Elements, simply cross
your arms over your chest.
Children and Nursery Care
We love children and we invite them to worship with
us. We also offer a professionally staffed nursery for all

disturb you or those around you during worship.
Gluten Free communion wafers are available at the Lectern Communion Station.
Gluten Free emblems are available in the
Narthex so that you can identify yourself

that station. These wafers are made from
rice and soy.
Pastoral Care

Hospitals no longer notify churches of your admission. If you have not received a visit or phone call
from the clergy within 24 hours of your hospitalization, it is likely we do not know you are in the hospital.
Please help us minister to you by calling the church
and letting us know.
Today’s Music
Liturgy We Live
Today’s organ prelude is the intensely introspective
“Toccata per l’Elevatione” from the Mass In festis duplicibus I by Italian composer Girolamo Frescobaldi
(1583-1643). Frescobaldi was a musician from Ferrara
and one of the most important composers of keyboard
music in the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. He was appointed “organist” of St. Peter’s Basilica. Frescobaldi’s printed collections contain some
of the most influential music of the 17th century. The
postlude is the very English-sounding “Fanfare” by
C.S. Lang (1891-1971). Lang was a New Zealandborn, British-domiciled organist, music teacher, and
composer. He studied with Sir Charles Villiers Stanford at the Royal College of Music. He then worked as
Director of Music at Christ’s Hospital school in Horsham, West Sussex, from 1929-1945.
by Dr. Gil Haas
Anglicans abandoned liturgical colors at the Reformation, and Anglican prayer books have never suggested a liturgical color scheme. However, liturgical
colors were restored to Anglican worship in the nineteenth century. Liturgical colors mirror moods of the
Christian calendar. Green is the color assigned to the
Sundays after Pentecost and Epiphany (sometimes
called “ordinary” time). Violet is used for most Sundays during Lent (or unbleached linen) and Advent (or
blue, following the Lutheran custom). Rose is worn
on the fourth Sunday of Lent (Laetare Sunday) and the
third Sunday of Advent (Gaudete Sunday) indicating
a lightening of the penitential seasons. White is the
color assigned to Christmastide (or gold - particularly in Spain), Easter (or gold), feasts of non-martyred
saints, baptisms, and marriages. Red is the color for
Palm Sunday, Good Friday (replacing the former use
of black), martyred saints, the final four Sundays of
the liturgical year culminating in Christ the King (optional), ordinations, and confirmations. Black has also
been replaced with white on All Souls’ Day and at funerals. Blue is associated with the Virgin Mary and is
worn on her feasts. Russian Orthodox churches use
orange vestments on the feasts of St. Peter and Paul.

Hymn Notes
Jesus calls us; o’er the tumult - Hymnal 550
“A namby-pamby, childish style is most unpleasing to
children. It is surprising how soon they can understand
and follow a high order of poetry,” Thus wrote Cecil
Frances Alexander, author of this hymn. She was a
19th century educator in her native Ireland and wrote
many hymns for children to illuminate and expand the
Catechism. This hymn was intended for St. Andrew’s
Day.
If you have a liturgical question or an inquiry about
anything that transpires during or around our worship service, please forward the question you would
like researched to: [email protected], or drop the
question in the offering basin. Please note whether
we can credit you as the source of the question.
Rejoice, ye pure in heart! - Hymnal 556
Everyone loves a festival, and this hymn was written
for a Diocesan Festival in Peterborough Cathedral in
1865. It originally contained eleven stanzas, necessary
to get all the choirs in. Based on Psalm 20:4, Psalm
147:1, and Philippians 4:4, it is a call for everyone to
rejoice.

Jesus calls us from the worship
of the vain world’s golden store;
from each idol that would keep us,
saying, “Christian, love me more.”
Before the Service
Please keep a moment of silence to prepare your
hearts and minds for worship and if you so desire
you may use the following prayer:
Gracious Father, we pray for your holy catholic
Church. Fill it with all truth, in all truth with all peace.
Where it is corrupt, purify it; where it is in error, direct it; where in any thing it is amiss, reform it. Where
it is right, strengthen it; where it is in want, provide
for it; where it is divided, reunite it; for the sake of
Jesus Christ your Son our Savior. Amen.
Prelude
In our joys and in our sorrows,
days of toil and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
“Christian, love me more than these.”
Jesus calls us! By thy mercies,
Savior, may we hear thy call,
give our hearts to thine obedience,
serve and love thee best of all.

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.
Hymnal 550, verses 1-5
Jesus calls us; o’er the tumult
of our life’s wild, restless sea,
day by day his clear voice soundeth,
saying, “Christian, follow me;”
As, of old, Saint Andrew heard it
by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and toil and kindred,
leaving all for his dear sake.

Hymn of Praise
Lesson
Hymnal 7, verses 1-3
Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ the true, the only Light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise!
Triumph o’er the shades of night:
Day-spring from on high, be near;
Day-star, in my heart appear.
My brothers and sisters, whom I love and long for,
my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way,
my beloved. I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to be
of the same mind in the Lord. Yes, and I ask you also,
my loyal companion, help these women, for they have
struggled beside me in the work of the gospel, together
with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose
names are in the book of life. Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be
known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry
about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made
known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses
all understanding, will guard your hearts and your
minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, beloved, whatever is
true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever
is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything
worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on
doing the things that you have learned and received
and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will
be with you.
Visit then this soul of mine!
Pierce the gloom of sin and grief!
Fill me, radiancy divine;
scatter all my unbelief;
more and more thyself display,
shining to the perfect day.
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Let us pray.
Phillipians 4:1-9
A Reading from the Epistle to the Philippians.
Dark and cheerless is the morn
unaccompanied by thee;
joyless is the day’s return,
till thy mercy’s beams I see,
till they inward light impart,
glad my eyes, and warm my heart.

Gospel Hymn
other to his business, while the rest seized his slaves,
mistreated them, and killed them. The king was enraged. He sent his troops, destroyed those murderers,
and burned their city. Then he said to his slaves, `The
wedding is ready, but those invited were not worthy.
Go therefore into the main streets, and invite everyone
you find to the wedding banquet.’ Those slaves went
out into the streets and gathered all whom they found,
both good and bad; so the wedding hall was filled with
guests. “But when the king came in to see the guests,
he noticed a man there who was not wearing a wedding
robe, and he said to him, `Friend, how did you get in
here without a wedding robe?’ And he was speechless.
Then the king said to the attendants, `Bind him hand
and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where
there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ For many
are called, but few are chosen.”
Hymnal 705, verses 1-2
As those of old their first fruits brought
of vineyard, flock, and field
to God, the giver of all good,
the source of bounteous yield;
so we today our first fruits bring,
the wealth of this good land,
of farm and market, shop and home,
of mind, and heart, and hand.
A world in need now summons us
to labor, love, and give;
to make our life an offering
to God that all may live;
the Church of Christ is calling us
to make the dream come true:
a world redeemed by Christ-like love;
all life in Christ made new.

Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Once more Jesus spoke to the people in parables, saying: “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a
king who gave a wedding banquet for his son. He sent
his slaves to call those who had been invited to the
wedding banquet, but they would not come. Again he
sent other slaves, saying, `Tell those who have been
invited: Look, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen
and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready; come to the wedding banquet.’ But they
made light of it and went away, one to his farm, an-

of all that is, seen and unseen.
Father, we pray for your holy Catholic Church;
That we all may be one.
BCP 358
Grant that every member of the Church may truly
and humbly serve you;
That your Name may be glorified by all people.
We pray for all bishops, priests, and deacons;
That they may be faithful ministers of your Word
and Sacraments.
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 pray for all who govern and hold authority in the
nations of the world;
That there may be justice and peace on the earth.
Give us grace to do your will in all that we undertake;
That our works may find favor in your sight.
Have compassion on those who suffer from any grief
or trouble;
That they may be delivered from their distress.
W Give to the departed eternal rest.
Let light perpetual shine upon them.
We praise you for your saints who have entered into
joy;
May we also come to share in your heavenly kingdom.
Let us pray for our own needs and those of others.

You may now offer your own prayers,

he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic
and apostolic Church.

BCP 367
Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you
made us for yourself; and, when we had fallen into
sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your
mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to
share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to
reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them to the Lord.
He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered
himself, in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice
for the whole world.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give him thanks and praise.
It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and
everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
On the night he was handed over to suffering and
death, 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.”
Proper Preface BCP 377
For you are the source of light and life, you made us in
your image, and called us to new life in Jesus Christ
our Lord.
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 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:
Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:
Christ has died.
Christ is risen.
Christ will come again.
