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. Requested by Maryann Sonntag 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. 3 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. Toccata per l’Elevatione Girolamo Frescobaldi Opening Acclamation BCP 355 W Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And blessed be his kingdom, now and forever. Amen. W [Please stand if you are able] Processional Hymn Collect for Purity BCP 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. 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. 4 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. Collect [You may be seated] BCP 234 The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Lord, we pray that your grace may always precede and follow us, that we may continually be given to good works; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. 5 [Please stand if you are able] 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. Gospel The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Christ. Gospel Hymn Hymnal 705, verse 3 With gratitude and humble trust we bring our best to thee to serve thy cause and share thy love with all humanity. O thou who gavest us thyself in Jesus Christ thy Son, help us to give ourselves each day until life’s work is done. Matthew 22:1-14 W W W The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. 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- [You may be seated after the sermon opening prayer] Sermon [After the sermon there will be a moment of silence for private meditation] 6 Prayers [Please stand if you are able] Creed We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, 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. Intercessions are offered at this time You may now offer your own prayers, either silently or out loud. 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. W We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. Silence The Celebrant adds a concluding Collect. 7 Confession [Please stand if you are able] BCP 360 Peace Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. The peace of the Lord be always with you. And also with you. [You may stand or kneel if you are able] [Silence is kept] [You may share a greeting of peace with those near you] 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. [You may be seated] Welcome Offertory Sentence BCP 376 Psalm 96:8 Ascribe to the LORD the honor due his Name; bring offerings and come into his courts.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below; praise him above, ye heavenly host: W praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. Great Thanksgiving The Lord be with you. And also with you. Hymnal S129 [Please stand or kneel] Eucharistic Prayer A 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. 9 Fraction Anthem We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts. Hymnal S154 Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us; Therefore let us keep the feast.

Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom. Invitation to Communion All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ. 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. Communion of the People The Gifts of God for the People of God. [You may be seated] Post-Communion Prayer The Lord’s Prayer Let us pray. BCP 364 And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say, 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, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. BCP 365 [Please stand or kneel if you are able] 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. 10 Blessing The Dismissal BCP 339 The peace of God, which passes all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord; and the blessing of God Almighty, W the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among you, and remain with you always.
