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 quietly intense “Choral Dorien” by Jehan Alain(1911-1940). Alain was born in Saint-Germain-en-Laye in the western suburbs of Paris, into a family of musicians. His father, Albert Alain (1880–1971) was an enthusiastic organist, composer and organ-builder who had studied with Alexandre Guilmant and Louis Vierne. His younger brother was the composer, organist and pianist Olivier Alain (1918–1994), his youngest sister the organist MarieClaire Alain (1926–2013). Between 1927 and 1939, he attended the Paris Conservatoire. Alain was posthumously awarded the Croix de Guerre for his bravery in WWII and was buried, by the Germans, with full military honours. The postlude is the Plein Jeu of the Second Suite by French composer Louis-Nicolas Clerambault (1676-1749). Like Alain, Clérambault came from a musical family (his father and two of his sons were also musicians). Clérambault became the organist at the church of the Grands-Augustins and entered the service of Madame de Maintenon. After the death of Louis XIV, he became organist at the church of Saint-Sulpice and the royal house of Saint-Cyr. by Dr. Gil Haas In imperial Roman processions, the positions closer to the emperor at the procession’s conclusion were places of honor. Our Christian processions mimic this scenario. A verger, with their verge, “clears the way”... making a “path” through the congregation. The thurifer follows, employing incense to “cleanse” ceremoniously the building in which the procession proceeds. The processional cross, or crucifix (in Anglo-Catholic parishes), is next, lit by honorific torches emphasizing Christ’s importance. A single processional cross is the norm in most Anglican processions. If a layperson carries the Gospel book, that person follows next. If a clergy carries the book, that clergy maintains their usual position. Banners are processed before the person(s) that they honor. If the parish is honored with its banner, the banner precedes the choir, who process next. Laypersons in the service follow the choir. A second, smaller cross can be carried before the clergy processing in order of precedence: assisting priests, subdeacon (replaced at St. Paul’s by a layperson who reads the epistle), deacon, rector/dean (or celebrant if the bishop is absent), bishop’s cross, bishop’s banner, bishop’s chaplain (carrying the bishop’s crosier if the bishop chooses not to), and finally, the bishop. Requested by Stephanie Toney Hymn Notes Jesus shall reign where e’er the sun - Hymnal 544 This is a paraphrase of the second part of Psalm 72. This missionary hymn was actually written 50 years before the beginning of the modern missionary movement. Here is an example of Christianizing the Psalms, for there was no doubt in Watts’ mind that the “King” of the Psalm was Christ, whose kingdom would stretch around the world. 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. God of grace and God of glory - Hymnal 594 This hymn text was written by Harry Emerson Fosdick for the opening of Riverside Church in New York City. Built with major financial support from the Rockefeller family, the church was opened on October 5, 1930. To mark this occasion Fosdick wrote this hymn at his summer home in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. 3 People and realms of every tongue dwell on his love with sweetest song; and infant voices shall proclaim their early blessings on his Name. 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 Blessings abound where-e’er he reigns: the prisoners leap to lose their chains, the weary find eternal rest, and all who suffer want are blest. Let every creature rise and bring peculiar honors to our King; angels descend with songs again, and earth repeat the loud amen. Choral Dorien Jehan Alain 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 544, verses 1-5 Jesus shall reign where-e’er the sun doth his successive journeys run; his kingdom stretch from shore to shore, till moons shall wax and wane no more. To him shall endless prayer be made, and praises throng to crown his head; his Name like sweet perfume shall rise with every morning sacrifice. 4 Hymn of Praise Collect Hymnal 412, verses 1-6 BCP 234 The Lord be with you. And also with you. Let us pray. He has done marvelous things. I, too, will praise him with a new song! Earth and all stars, loud rushing planets, sing to the Lord a new song! O victory, loud shouting army, sing to the Lord a new song! Almighty and everlasting God, in Christ you have revealed your glory among the nations: Preserve the works of your mercy, that your Church throughout the world may persevere with steadfast faith in the confession of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Hail, wind, and rain, loud blowing snow-storms, sing to the Lord a new song! Flowers and trees, loud rustling dry leaves, sing to the Lord a new song! Lesson Trumpet and pipes, loud clashing cymbals, sing to the Lord a new song! Harp, lute, and lyre, loud humming cellos, sing to the Lord a new song! [You may be seated] 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 A Reading from the First Epistle to the Thessalonians. Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace. We always give thanks to God for all of you and mention you in our prayers, constantly remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. For we know, brothers and sisters beloved by God, that he has chosen you, because our message of the gospel came to you not in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know what kind of persons we proved to be among you for your sake. And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for in spite of persecution you received the word with joy inspired by the Holy Spirit, so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia Engines and steel, loud pounding hammers, sing to the Lord a new song! Limestone and beams, Loud building workers, sing to the Lord a new song! Classrooms and labs loud boiling test tubes, sing to the Lord a new song! Athlete and band, loud cheering people, sing to the Lord a new song! Knowledge and truth, loud sounding wisdom, sing to the Lord a new song! Daughter and son, loud praying members, sing to the Lord a new song! 5 Gospel and in Achaia. For the word of the Lord has sounded forth from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith in God has become known, so that we have no need to speak about it. For the people of those regions report about us what kind of welcome we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead-Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath that is coming. W W W The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. Glory to you, Lord Christ. The Pharisees went and plotted to entrap Jesus in what he said. So they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are sincere, and teach the way of God in accordance with truth, and show deference to no one; for you do not regard people with partiality. Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to the emperor, or not?” But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why are you putting me to the test, you hypocrites? Show me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius. Then he said to them, “Whose head is this, and whose title?” They answered, “The emperor’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” When they heard this, they were amazed; and they left him and went away. The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. [Please stand if you are able] Gospel Hymn Matthew 22:15-22 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. The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Christ. Gospel Hymn 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. 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. 6 [You may be seated after the sermon opening prayer] 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. Sermon [After the sermon there will be a moment of silence for private meditation] 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. Grant that every member of the Church may truly and humbly serve you; That your Name may be glorified by all people. BCP 358 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. 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 Stewardship Talk 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: 9 Fraction Anthem Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith: Hymnal S154 Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us; Therefore let us keep the feast. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again. 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. Invitation to Communion The Gifts of God for the People of God.

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. [You may be seated] Communion of the People Post-Communion Prayer 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. Let us pray. 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. The Lord’s Prayer 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. Blessing 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.
