Judges 4:1-7
Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people.
Thanks be to God.
psalm 123 The cantor introduces the refrain, then all repeat.
To you I lift up my eyes,
to you enthroned in the heavens.
Refrain
As the eyes of the servants look to the hand of their masters,
and the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
So our eyes look to the Holy One our God,
until God shows us mercy. Refrain
Have mercy upon us, O God, have mercy,
for we have had more than enough of contempt,
Too much of the scorn of the indolent rich,
and of the derision of the proud.
Refrain
We stand.

Rev. Hannibal We stand.
We affirm our faith
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;
through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human.
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.
3
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father,
who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified,
who 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.
We offer prayers
After each intercession,
God of transforming love,
Make us instruments of your peace.
The presider prays a concluding collect and we respond, Amen.
Most merciful God, we have sinned against you; we have done evil in your sight. We are
sorry and repent. Have mercy on us according to your love. Wash away our wrongdoing
and cleanse us from our sin. Renew a right spirit within us and restore us to the joy of
your salvation, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The presider offers absolution and we respond, Amen.
We share the peace of Christ
The peace of Christ be always with you.
And also with you.
We greet one another with a sign of God’s peace and then are seated.

Jubilate Deo by William Walton
O be joyful in the Lord all ye lands; serve the Lord with gladness and come before his
presence with a song. Be ye sure that the Lord he is God; it is he that hath made us and not
we ourselves; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture. O go your way into his gates
with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise; be thankful unto him and speak good
of his Name. For the Lord is gracious; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth from
generation to generation. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As
it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.
—Psalm 100

We stand as our offerings are presented and remain standing.
We share The Holy Communion
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 God thanks and praise.
The presider offers our thanks to God for the grace and mercy made available to us in Christ,
and in response we sing:
The presider gives thanks to God for the reconciling work of Christ’s passion and resurrection and prays
over the bread and wine.
Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:
Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.
Remembering his death and resurrection, we now present to you from your creation this
bread and this wine. By your Holy Spirit may they be for us the Body and Blood of our
Savior Jesus Christ.
Grant that we who share these gifts may be filled with the Holy Spirit and live as Christ’s
Body in the world.
5
Bring us into the everlasting heritage of your daughters and sons, that with Mary, the mother
of Jesus, Peter and Paul, our patrons, and all your saints, past, present, and yet to come, we
may praise your Name for ever. Through Christ and with Christ and in Christ, in the unity
of the Holy Spirit, to you be honor, glory, and praise, for ever and ever. AMEN.
As we join our prayers with those of the Church Universal, so we say, each in our own
language, the prayer that Jesus Christ has taught us,
Notre Père…, Padre nuestro…, Vater unser…,
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.
We join in singing the fraction anthem.
We are seated.
All who seek God and a deeper life in Christ are welcome to receive Holy Communion. Gluten-free
wafers are available; please make your need known to the minister. If you desire to receive prayers for
healing, you are invited to proceed to War Memorial Chapel after receiving Holy Communion.

We send Eucharistic visitors
In the name of God and this Cathedral Church, we send you forth bearing these holy gifts,

We who are many are one body, because we all share one bread, one cup.
We are sent
God of grace, your Son Jesus Christ fed the hungry with the bread of his life and the
word of his kingdom: renew your people with your heavenly grace and in all our
weakness sustain us by your true and living bread; who is alive and reigns, now and
forever. Amen.
The presider offers a blessing and we respond, Amen.
