First Reading Genesis 1:1-5 (ESV)
1
In the beginning,
God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void,
and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering
over the face of the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,”
and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And
God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness
he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
Reader: The
word of the Lord.
People Thanks
be to God.
Psalm 29
(ESV)
1 Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,
ascribe to the Lord glory
and strength.
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
worship the Lord in the
splendor of holiness.
3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the Lord,
over many waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;
the voice of the Lord is
full of majesty.
5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
the Lord breaks the
cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf,
and Sirion like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
the Lord shakes
the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth
and strips the forests bare,
and in his temple all cry, “Glory!”
10 The Lord sits
enthroned over the flood;
the Lord sits
enthroned as king forever.
11 May the Lord give strength to his people!
May the Lord bless his
people with peace!
Second Reading Acts
19:1-7 (ESV)
1 And
it happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through
the inland country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples. 2 And he said to them, “Did you receive
the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said, “No, we have not even heard
that there is a Holy Spirit.” 3 And he said, “Into what then were you
baptized?” They said, “Into John's baptism.” 4 And Paul said, “John baptized with
the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who
was to come after him, that is, Jesus.” 5 On hearing this, they were baptized
in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands on
them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking in tongues
and prophesying. 7 There were about twelve men in all.
Reader: The
word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to
God.
Sequence Hymn “Come, Holy Spirit” Hymnal #382
(Sing the first 3
stanzas)
Reader: The
Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark.
People: Glory to You,
Lord Christ.
Gospel Reading Mark 1:4-11 (ESV)
4 John appeared, baptizing in the
wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the
forgiveness of sins. 5 And all the country of Judea and all
Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river
Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 Now John was clothed with camel's
hair and wore a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts
and wild honey. 7 And he preached, saying, “After me
comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to
stoop down and untie. 8 I have baptized you with water,
but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
9 In those days Jesus came from
Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 And when he came up out of the water, immediately
he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on
him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven, “You are my
beloved Son;
with you I am well
pleased. “
Reader: The
Gospel of the Lord.
People: Praise to You,
Lord Christ.

and for ever. Amen.
Thanksgiving over the
Water
The Celebrant blesses
the water, first saying
The
Lord be with you.
People And also with
you.
Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People It is right to
give Him thanks and praise.
Celebrant
We thank You, Almighty God, for the gift
of water. Over it the Holy Spirit moved in the beginning of creation. Through
it You led the children of Israel out of their bondage in Egypt into the land
of promise. In it Your Son Jesus received the baptism of John and was anointed
by the Holy Spirit as the Messiah, the Christ, to lead us, through His death
and resurrection, from the bondage of sin into everlasting life.
We thank You, Father, for the water of
Baptism. In it we are buried with Christ in His death. By it we share in His
resurrection. Through it we are reborn by the Holy Spirit. Therefore in joyful
obedience to Your Son, we bring into fellowship those who come to Him in faith,
baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit.
At the following words,
the Celebrant touches the water
Now sanctify this water, we pray You, by
the power of Your Holy Spirit, that those who here are cleansed from sin and
born again may continue forever in the risen life of Jesus Christ our Savior.
To Him, to You, and to the Holy Spirit, be
all honor and glory, now and forever. Amen.
The Baptism
The candidates are
presented by name to the Celebrant, or to an assisting priest or deacon, who
then immerses, or pours water upon, the candidates, saying
Alex and Tyler, I baptize you in the Name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
When this action has
been completed, the Bishop or Priest, at a place in full sight of the
congregation, prays over him, saying
Let us pray.
Heavenly Father, we thank You that by
water and the Holy Spirit You have bestowed upon Your servants the forgiveness
of sin, and have raised them to the new life of grace. Sustain them, O
Lord, in Your Holy Spirit. Give them an inquiring and discerning heart, the
courage and will to persevere, a spirit to know and to love You, and the gift
of joy and wonder in all Your works. Amen.
Then the Priest places a
hand on the person’s
head, marking on the forehead the sign of the cross and saying
Alex and Tyler, you are sealed by the Holy
Spirit in Baptism and marked as Christ’s own for ever. Amen.
Or this action may be
done immediately after the administration of the water and before the preceding
prayer.
When the candidates have
been baptized, the Celebrant says
Let us welcome the newly baptized.
Celebrant and People
We receive you into the household of God.
Confess the faith of Christ crucified, proclaim His resurrection, and share
with us in His eternal priesthood.
Passing of the Peace We greet one another and
seek out anyone present with whom we are at odds with before coming to Holy
Communion.
Celebrant The
Peace of the Lord be always with you.
People And also with you.

Doxology Celebratory praise is appropriate for the ability God
provides us and the privilege of joining Him in His work.
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow.
Praise Him all creatures here below.
Praise Him above, Ye heavenly Host.

earth for a glorious birthday in heaven. Amen.
The Great Thanksgiving At the Last Supper,
Jesus commanded His disciples to remember Him in this fellowship “meal.” People
baptized in the Trinitarian form who discern the presence of Jesus in the Bread
and the Wine are welcome to receive Holy Communion. A gluten free wafer is
available upon request.
The people stand or
kneel.
Eucharistic Prayer A
The people remain standing. The Celebrant,
faces them and says
The Lord be with you.
People And also with
you.
Celebrant Lift up your hearts.
People We lift them to
the Lord.
Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People It is right to
give Him thanks and praise.
Then, facing the Holy Table, the Celebrant
proceeds
It
is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to
You, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
Here a Proper Preface is said on all
Sundays, and on other occasions as appointed.
Therefore
we praise You, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who forever say this hymn to
proclaim the glory of Your 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.
Then the Celebrant continues
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.
He stretched out His arms upon the cross, and offered Himself, in obedience to
Your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world.
At the following words concerning the
bread, the Celebrant is to hold it, or lay a hand upon it; and at the words
concerning the cup, to hold or place a hand upon the cup and any other vessel
containing wine to be consecrated.
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.”
Therefore
we proclaim the mystery of faith:
Christ
has died.
Christ is risen.
Christ will come again.
The
Celebrant continues
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.
Sanctify them by Your Holy Spirit to be
for Your people the Body and Blood of Your Son, the holy food and drink of new
and unending life in Him. 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.
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
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.
And
now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,
People and Celebrant:
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.
The
Breaking of the Bread
The Celebrant breaks the consecrated
Bread. A period of silence is kept.
Celebrant:
Alleluia. Christ our
Passover is sacrificed for us;
People: Therefore let us keep the
feast. Alleluia.
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.
The Bread and the Cup
are administered with these or similar words
The Body of Christ, the bread of heaven.
[Amen.]
The Blood of Christ, the cup of salvation. [Amen.]

most precious Body and Blood of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and for
assuring us in these holy mysteries that we are living members of the Body of
Your Son, and heirs of Your eternal kingdom. And now, Father, send us out to do
the work You have given us to do, to love and serve You as faithful witnesses of
Christ our Lord. To Him, to You, and to the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory,
now and for ever. Amen.
Celebrant:
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 upon you and remain with you forever. Amen.
