“Be Still”
Be still for the presence
of the Lord
The Holy One is here
Come bow before Him now
With reverence and fear
In Him no sin is found
We stand on holy ground
Be still for the
presence of the Lord
The Holy One is here
Be still for the glory
of the Lord
Is shining all around
He burns with holy fire
With splendor He is
crowned
How awesome is the sight
Our radiant King of
light
Be still for the glory
of the Lord
Is shining all around
Be still for the power
of the Lord
Is moving in this place
He comes to cleanse and
heal
To minister His grace
No work too hard for Him
In faith receive from
Him
Be still for the power
of the Lord
Is moving in this place

The people standing, the
Celebrant says:
Celebrant The
Lord be with you:
People And also with you.
Celebrant The earth is the Lord’s and all that is
in it:
People Let
the heavens rejoice and the earth be glad.
Celebrant I was glad when they said to me:
People Let
us go to the house of the Lord.
Celebrant Praise the Lord:
People The
name of the Lord be praised.
Celebrant Let us pray:
People Almighty
God, you bring to light things hidden in darkness, and know the shadows of our
hearts: Cleanse and renew us by your Spirit, that we may walk in the light and
glorify your name, through Jesus Christ, the Light of the world, Amen.
The Decalogue (Ten Commandments; Ex. 20:1-17)
Celebrant:
1And God spoke all these words, saying,
2I am the Lord
your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of
slavery. 3You shall have no other gods before me.
4You shall not make for yourself a carved
image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the
earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5You shall not bow down to them or serve
them, for I the Lord your God am a
jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third
and the fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing steadfast love to thousands
of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who
takes his name in vain.
8Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9Six days you shall labor, and do all your
work, 10but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do
any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female
servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. 11For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and
all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it
holy.
People: Lord, have mercy on us, and write these laws in our
hearts.
Celebrant:
12Honor your father and your mother, that
your days may be long in the land that the Lord
your God is giving you.
13You shall not murder.
14You shall not commit adultery.
15You shall not steal.
16You shall not bear false witness against
your neighbor.
17You shall not covet your neighbor’s house;
you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female
servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.
People: Lord, have mercy on us, and write these laws in our
hearts.
Gloria
Sung by all.
Glory
to God in the highest, and peace to His people on earth.
Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, we worship You, we give You
thanks, we praise You for Your glory.
Lord
Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of God, You take away the
sin of the world: have mercy on us; You are seated at the right hand of the
Father: receive our prayers.
For
You alone are the Holy One, You alone are the Lord, You alone are the Most
High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
Celebrant: The
Lord be with you.
People: And also with
you.
Celebrant:
Let us pray.
Collect Prayer of the
Day Prayed by Celebrant. We
“collect” our acclamations, corporately proclaim a truth about God and ask His
help in living out that truth.
First
Reading Isaiah 55:6-9
(ESV)
6 “Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near;
7 let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord,
that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the
earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Reader: The
word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to
God.
Psalm 145:2-3, 8-9, 17-18 (ESV)
2 Every day I will bless you
and praise your name forever and ever.
3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
and his greatness is unsearchable.
8 The Lord is gracious
and merciful,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9 The Lord is good
to all,
and his mercy is over all that he has made.
17 The Lord is righteous
in all his ways
and kind in all his works.
18 The Lord is near
to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.
Second Reading Philippians 1:20C-24, 27A (ESV)
20 as it is my eager expectation and
hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage
now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or
by death. 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to
die is gain. 22 If I am to live in the flesh, that means
fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 I am hard pressed between the two. My
desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. 24 But to remain in the flesh is more
necessary on your account.
27 Only let your manner of life
be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you
or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit.
Reader: The word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to
God.
Sequence Hymn “In Moments Like These” Hymnal #91
Gospel
Reading Matthew 20:1-16a (ESV)
Reader: The
Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew.
People: Glory to You,
Lord Christ.”
1 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a
master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his
vineyard. 2 After agreeing with the laborers for a
denarius
a day, he sent them into
his vineyard. 3 And going out about the third hour he saw others
standing idle in the marketplace, 4 and to them he said, ‘You go into the
vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.’ 5 So they went. Going out again about
the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same. 6 And about the eleventh hour he went
out and found others standing. And he said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle
all day?’ 7 They said to him, ‘Because no one has
hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too.’ 8 And when evening came, the owner of
the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their
wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.’ 9 And when those hired about the eleventh
hour came, each of them received a denarius. 10 Now when those hired first came, they
thought they would receive more, but each of them also received a
denarius. 11 And on receiving it they grumbled at the
master of the house, 12 saying, ‘These last worked only one hour,
and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day
and the scorching heat.’ 13 But he replied to one of
them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a
denarius? 14 Take what belongs to you and go. I
choose to give to this last worker as I give to you. 15 Am I not allowed to do what I choose with
what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’ 16 So the last will be first, and the
first last.”
Reader: The
Gospel of the Lord.
People: Praise to You,
Lord Christ.
Sermon Canon
Bill Lester
Nicene Creed We respond to the Word of God read and
expounded by stating aloud an ancient form of confessing our belief.
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: 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 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 catholic1 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.
1”catholic” means for all
people, in all places, at all times

On the night that He was betrayed He took bread and gave You thanks; He broke it and gave it to His disciples saying, “Take, eat; this is My body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.”
People Amen. His body was broken for us.
Then the Celebrant
continues
In the same way, after supper He took the
cup and gave You thanks; He gave it to them saying, “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. Do this as often as you drink it, in remembrance of
Me.”

blood.
We have died together.
We will rise together.

Therefore, heavenly Father, hear us as we
celebrate this covenant with joy, and await the coming of our Savior, Jesus
Christ. He died in our place, making a full atonement for the sins of the whole
world, the perfect sacrifice, once and for all. You accepted His offering by
raising Him from death, and granting Him great honor at Your right hand on high.
People Amen. Jesus is Lord.
Spiritual Communion (said by all)
O
Most blessed Savior,
in union with the faithful at every altar of Your Church
where Your blessed Body and Blood are being offered to the Father,
I desire to offer You praise and thanksgiving,
I present to You my soul and body with the earnest wish that I may always be united to You.
I believe that You are truly present in
the Holy Sacrament.
And since I cannot now receive You sacramentally into my heart;
I unite myself to You and embrace You with all the affections of my soul.
Let me never be separated from You.
Let me live and die in Your love. Amen.
Come, Lord Jesus, and dwell in the fulness
of Your strength,
in the perfection of Your ways, and in the holiness of Your Spirit,
and rule over every hostile power within me in the might of Your Spirit,
and to the glory of Your Father. Amen.
The Celebrant continues
Let Your Spirit come upon these gifts to
make them holy, so that they may become for us the body and blood of our Lord,
Jesus Christ. This is the feast of victory.

body.

is the host and we are his guests

as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive
those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from
evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and for ever.

marriage supper of the Lamb.

After Communion the Celebrant says
Let us pray.
Celebrant and People:
Almighty and everliving God, we most
heartily thank You for feeding us, in these holy mysteries, with the spiritual
food of the most precious Body and Blood of Your Son our Savior Jesus Christ;
and You assure us thereby of Your favor and goodness towards us; and that we
are very members incorporate in the mystical body of Your Son, the blessed
company of all faithful people; and are also heirs, through hope, of Your
everlasting kingdom. And we humbly beseech You, O heavenly Father, so to assist
us with Your grace, that we may continue in that holy fellowship, and do all
such good works that You have prepared for us to walk in; through Jesus Christ
our Lord, to whom, with You and the Holy Spirit, be all honor and glory, world
without end. Amen.
The Bishop when present,
or the Priest, gives the blessing
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, the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be amongst you, and remain with you always. Amen.
