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
children up through 7 years old from 8:45am to 12:30pm.
The nursery is located in the Education Building past the

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

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 and postlude are based on the
great hymn “Sleepers wake! a voice astounds us” (No.
61 in our Hymnal). The prelude is by Johann Sebastian
Bach (1685-1750) who made this transcription for organ solo with music from Cantata 140. The postlude,
by Paul Manz, treats the tune as a dialog between the
big Tuba stop of the organ and the rest of the organ.
Manz (1919-1009) served the Lutheran church as recitalist, composer, teacher and leader in worship. He
was Cantor Emeritus at the Evangelical Lutheran
Church of Saint Luke, Chicago, Illinois; as well as
Cantor Emeritus of Mount Olive Lutheran Church in
Minneapolis, Minnesota. He was the director of the
newly established Paul Manz Institute of Church Music, and was Professor Emeritus of Church Music at
Christ Seminary Seminex at the Lutheran School of
Theology at Chicago.
by Dr. Gil Haas
Some dioceses within the Anglican communion can be
very large while others are quite small. The Diocese
of Cyprus and the Gulf covers several countries, while
the Diocese of Sodor and Man covers just the Isle of
Man (221 square miles). Some populous dioceses are
divided into areas with each assigned to a suffragan
bishop who remain suffragans until the appointing
bishop retires. For example, the Bishop of Toronto has
suffragans assisting him in four geographical divisions.
Another alternative is for a bishop to appoint an assisting coadjutor bishop who will become the diocesan
bishop on the bishop’s retirement. In some parts of the
Anglican communion, archdeacons are named to assist the bishop in administrative functions, and they are
the most senior clergy in that diocese. In the Episcopal
Church, the senior priest of a cathedral is called the
dean. Before 2000, some persons who held this position were called provosts. Deans are assisted by canons
or, formerly, prebendaries. In the Scottish Episcopal
Church, the senior priest of a cathedral is called provost. In the Anglican Church of Canada, a cathedral’s
senior priest is known as the rector of the cathedral and
dean of the diocese.
The Parish Choir sings an engaging anthem by Gordon Young, “Now let us all praise God and sing.” The
music is in classic ABA design, that is, similar outer
sections with a contrasting inner section.
Hymn Notes
Before the Service
Rejoice! rejoice, believers - Hymnal 68
Laurenti, considered one of the finest of pietistic hymn
writers, wrote a set of texts and tunes for the entire
church year. This hymn, based on Matthew 25:1-13
(the story of the wise and foolish virgins) was intended for a Sunday in Trinity season, but it usually
is included in the Advent section. It is a call for us
to be prepared to meet the Bridegroom (Jesus) whose
coming is imminent.
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.
Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates - Hymnal 436
This is a famous paraphrase of Psalm 24, and reveals
a spirit of praise and hope unexpected from the depths
of the dreadful Thirty Years’ War. Its theme is the
preparation for the Messiah’s coming.

Processional Hymn
Hymnal 68, verses 1-3
Rejoice! rejoice, believers,
and let your lights appear!
The evening is advancing,
and darker night is near.
The Bridegroom is arising,
and soon he will draw nigh;
up, watch in expectation!
at midnight comes the cry.
Hymn of Praise
Hymnal 620, verses 1-5
Jerusalem, my happy home,
when shall I come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end?
Thy joys when shall I see?
See that your lamps are burning,
replenish them with oil;
look now for your salvation,
the end of sin and toil.
The marriage feast is waiting,
the gates wide open stand;
rise up, ye heirs of glory,
the Bridegroom is at hand!
Thy saints are crowned with glory great;
they see God face to face;
they triumph still, they still rejoice
in that most happy place.
There David stands with harp in hand
as master of the choir:
ten thousand times would one be blest
who might this music hear.
Our hope and expectation,
O Jesus, now appear;
arise, thou Sun so longed for,
above this darkened sphere!
With hearts and hands uplifted,
we plead, O Lord, to see
the day of earth’s redemption,
and ever be with thee!
Our Lady sings Magnificat
with tune surpassing sweet,
and blessed martyrs’ harmony
doth ring in every street.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
God grant that I may see
thine endless joy, and of the same
partaker ever be!

Let us pray.
before us all the peoples, the Amorites who lived in the
land. Therefore we also will serve the LORD, for he is
our God.” But Joshua said to the people, “You cannot
serve the LORD; for he is a holy God. He is a jealous
God; he will not forgive your transgressions or your
sins. If you forsake the LORD and serve foreign gods,
then he will turn and do you harm, and consume you,
after having done you good.” And the people said to
Joshua, “No, we will serve the LORD!” Then Joshua
said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen the LORD, to serve him.”
And they said, “We are witnesses.” He said, “Then put
away the foreign gods that are among you, and incline
your hearts to the LORD, the God of Israel.” The people said to Joshua, “The LORD our God we will serve,
and him we will obey.” So Joshua made a covenant
with the people that day, and made statutes and ordinances for them at Shechem.
BCP 236
O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he
might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he is pure;
that, when he comes again with power and great glory,
we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious
kingdom; where he lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Joshua 24:1-3a, 14-25
A Reading from the Book of Joshua.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and
summoned the elders, the heads, the judges, and the officers of Israel; and they presented themselves before
God. And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the
LORD, the God of Israel: Long ago your ancestors-Terah and his sons Abraham and Nahor-- lived beyond
the Euphrates and served other gods. Then I took your
father Abraham from beyond the River and led him
through all the land of Canaan and made his offspring
many. “Now therefore revere the LORD, and serve
him in sincerity and in faithfulness; put away the gods
that your ancestors served beyond the River, and in
Egypt, and serve the LORD. Now if you are unwilling
to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will
serve, whether the gods your ancestors served in the
region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites
in whose land you are living; but as for me and my
household, we will serve the LORD.” Then the people
answered, “Far be it from us that we should forsake
the LORD to serve other gods; for it is the LORD our
God who brought us and our ancestors up from the
land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, and who did
those great signs in our sight. He protected us along
all the way that we went, and among all the peoples
through whom we passed; and the LORD drove out

Hymnal 596, verses 1-3
Judge eternal, throned in splendor,
Lord of lords and King of kings,
with thy living fire of judgment
purge this land of bitter things;
solace all its wide dominion
with the healing of thy wings.
Still the weary folk are pining
for the hour that brings release,
and the city’s crowded clangor
cries aloud for sin to cease;
and the homesteads and the woodlands
plead in silence for their peace.

Matthew 25:1-13
W W W The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to Matthew.
Glory to you, Lord Christ.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
A Reading from the First Epistle to the Thessalonians.
We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and
sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not
grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through
Jesus, God will bring with him those who have died.
For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that
we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the
Lord, will by no means precede those who have died.
For the Lord himself, with a cry of command, with the
archangel’s call and with the sound of God’s trumpet,
will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will
rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be
caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the
Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.
Jesus said, “Then the kingdom of heaven will be like
this. Ten bridesmaids took their lamps and went to
meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and
five were wise. When the foolish took their lamps,
they took no oil with them; but the wise took flasks of
oil with their lamps. As the bridegroom was delayed,
all of them became drowsy and slept. But at midnight
there was a shout, `Look! Here is the bridegroom!
Come out to meet him.’ Then all those bridesmaids
got up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to
the wise, `Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are
going out.’ But the wise replied, `No! there will not
be enough for you and for us; you had better go to
the dealers and buy some for yourselves.’ And while
they went to buy it, the bridegroom came, and those
who were ready went with him into the wedding banquet; and the door was shut. Later the other bridesmaids came also, saying, `Lord, lord, open to us.’ But
he replied, `Truly I tell you, I do not know you.’ Keep
awake therefore, for you know neither the day nor the
hour.

thy hand from every snare and foe

For her my tears shall fall;

Let us pray for the church and the world.
In the Lord I’ll be ever thankful,
in the Lord I will rejoice!
Look to God, do not be afraid.
Lift up your voices, the Lord is near;
Lift up your voices, the Lord is near.
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.
Grant, Almighty God, that all who confess your
Name, may be united in your truth, live together in
your love, and reveal your glory in the world; especially for Justin of Canterbury; Katharine, our Presiding Bishop; Edward, our Bishop; and the clergy and
people of the diocese of Oklahoma and our companion
diocese of Uruguay.
Guide the people of this land, and of all the nations,
in the ways of justice and peace; that we may honor
one another and serve the common good; especially
for Barack, our President; Mary, our Governor; and
Mick, our Mayor.
Give us all a reverence for the earth as your own creation, that we may use its resources rightly in the service of others and to your honor and glory.
Comfort and heal all those who suffer in body, mind,
or spirit.

Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you
made us for yourself; and, when we had fallen into

reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all.

The Lord’s Prayer
He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered

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.
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.”
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.”

Who has authority? Who justifies? How are we free?
The Letter of Paul to the Galatians explores these questions and is one of the most important letters that Paul
wrote in making Christianity a world religion. Come
explore how Christ has authority in our lives, how
Christ justifies us and how through Christ we are set
free. In exploring these deep questions we will learn
how Jesus Christ impacts our lives and our faith today
and everyday. Led by Dean Lindstrom in Dean Willey
Hall.
