The Seventeenth Sunday After Pentecost

Liturgy of the Word

Processional Hymn All stand. The people of God sang as they approached the Temple for worship. The procession helps us remember that coming into the presence of God is an
extraordinarily special privilege.

“Here I Am To Worship”

Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes let me see.
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You.

Chorus
So here I am to worship.
Here I am to bow down.
Here I am to say that You're my God,
And You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me.

King of all days
Oh so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above.
Humbly You came
To the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor.

Chorus, followed by:

And I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross.
And I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross.

Chorus (So here I am to worship…)

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.

Summary of the Law

Celebrant:

Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength...You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.” (Mk. 12:29-31)

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   Exodus 17:1-7  (ESV)

     1 All the congregation of the people of Israel moved on from the wilderness of Sin by stages, according to the commandment of the Lord, and camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink. 2 Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water to drink.” And Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the Lord?” But the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against Moses and said, “Why did you bring us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?” So Moses cried to the Lord, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.” 5 And the Lord said to Moses, “Pass on before the people, taking with you some of the elders of Israel, and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. 6 Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people will drink.” And Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel. And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the quarreling of the people of Israel, and because they tested the Lord by saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?”

Reader:           The word of the Lord.
People:            Thanks be to God.

Psalm 78 1-4,12-16    (ESV)

1 Give ear, O my people, to my teaching;
    incline your ears to the words of my mouth!
I will open my mouth in a parable;
    I will utter dark sayings from of old,
3 things that we have heard and known,
    that our fathers have told us.
4 We will not hide them from their children,
    but tell to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,
    and the wonders that he has done.
 

12 In the sight of their fathers he performed wonders
    in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan.
13 He divided the sea and let them pass through it,
    and made the waters stand like a heap.
14 In the daytime he led them with a cloud,
    and all the night with a fiery light.
15 He split rocks in the wilderness
    and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.
16 He made streams come out of the rock
    and caused waters to flow down like rivers.

Sequence Hymn    “Shine, Jesus, Shine”   Hymnal #431 

Gospel Reading   Matthew 21:23-32   (ESV)

Reader:           The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. 
People:            Glory to You, Lord Christ.

     23 And when he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?” 24 Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, and if you tell me the answer, then I also will tell you by what authority I do these things. 25 The baptism of John, from where did it come? From heaven or from man?” And they discussed it among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 26 But if we say, ‘From man,’ we are afraid of the crowd, for they all hold that John was a prophet.” 27 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And he said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

     28 “What do you think? A man had two sons. And he went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’ 29 And he answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind and went. 30 And he went to the other son and said the same. And he answered, ‘I go, sir,’ but did not go. 31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes go into the kingdom of God before you. 32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. And even when you saw it, you did not afterward change your minds and believe him.

Reader:           The Gospel of the Lord.
People:            Praise to You, Lord Christ.

Sermon      Fr. Andrew Doan

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

“How Great Is Our God”   Hymnal #530

The splendor of the King
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice

He wraps Himself in light
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
And trembles at His voice

Chorus
How great is our God
Sing with me
How great is our God
And all will see how great
How great is our God

And age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the End
Beginning and the End

The Godhead three in one
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb (Chorus)

Bridge

Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God

African Eucharistic Prayer

 In this prayer, the lines in italics are spoken by the People. 

The Celebrant says

Is the Father with us?
People             He is.

Celebrant        Is Christ among us?
People             He is.

Celebrant        Is the Spirit here?
People             He is.

Celebrant        This is our God.

Celebrant        We are His people.
People             We are redeemed.

Celebrant        Lift up your hearts.
People             We lift them to the Lord.

Celebrant        Let us give thanks unto our Lord God.
People             It is meet and right so to do.

It is very meet, right, and our delight to give You thanks and praise, Holy Father, living God, supreme over the world, Creator, Provider, Savior and Giver.

Therefore with Angels and Archangels, and all in heaven, we proclaim Your great and glorious name.

Celebrant and People

      Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
      heaven and earth are full of Your glory.
          Hosanna in the highest.

      Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
          Hosanna in the highest.
 

The people stand or kneel.

Then the Celebrant continues

Almighty God, Owner of all things, we thank You for giving up Your only Son to die on the cross for us who owe You everything. Pour Your refreshing Spirit on us as we remember Him in the way He commanded. 

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.”

People             Amen.  We are brothers and sisters through His blood.
                                    We have died together.
                                    We will rise together.
                                    We will live together.

Then the Celebrant continues

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.

Blessed, praised, and adored be Jesus Christ on His throne of glory in
Heaven, and in the most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. 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.
People         The Lamb who was slain has begun His reign. Hallelujah!

Celebrant     We are one body.
People          We share one bread.

Celebrant        Draw near with faith.
People             Christ is the host and we are his guests

Celebrant:       As Jesus taught us, we now sing,

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth 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. Amen

The Breaking of the Bread

The Celebrant breaks the consecrated Bread.

A period of silence is kept.

Celebrant:   Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us;
People:       Therefore let us keep the feast.

Celebrant:  The Gifts of God for the People of God.

Take them in remembrance that Christ died for you, and feed on him in your hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.

Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. 

When you come forward for communion if you would like the consecrated wafer only, please stay in the center of the aisle and Fr. Andy will give you the wafer only.  If you prefer to receive the wafer dipped in the chalice of consecrated wine, please go to the right or left of Fr. Andy to receive the wafer dipped in wine.

The ministers receive the Sacrament in both kinds, and then immediately deliver it to the
people.

The Body of Christ, the bread of heaven. [Amen.]
The Blood of Christ, the cup of salvation. [Amen.]

Hymns & Songs may be sung by congregation while people receive Communion.

“Receive The Body Of Christ”

Receive the Body of Christ
Taste the Fountain of Immortality
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia!

“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

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.

Closing Hymn     “Because He Lives”    Hymnal #358 

Last verse of My Country ‘Tis Of Thee

Our Father’s God, to Thee, author of liberty, to Thee we sing:
Long may our land be bright with freedom’s holy light;
protect us by Thy might, Great God, our King!

The Deacon, or the Celebrant, may dismiss the people with these words

                        Let us go forth into the world, rejoicing in the power of the Spirit.
People             Thanks be to God.


 

Bible verse for this week:
Matthew 10:29-31 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
