In the Parish House Children are always welcome in the church for all or part of the service, but should you want to use it, nursery care is available in the Parish House building, around the left side of the church. Restrooms are also in the Parish House. A Children s Corner is available in the back of the church. Visitor s Card Please fill out a visitor s card (found on the hook in your pew) so we can get to know you better. You may hand it to an usher or put it in the offering plate. Flow of Worship We begin our service with the WORD including a SERMON, continue with PRAYERS, and follow with COMMUNION. Words in italics provide directions about when it is customary to stand, sit or kneel. If any of this is physically difficult for you, please remain seated. Bold type indicates words we will speak together. Music not printed in the bulletin is in the blue hymnal. Communion Baptized Christians are welcome to receive communion and ALL are welcome to come forward for a blessing. To receive the bread, hold your hands out together. To receive the wine, help the server by guiding the chalice. If you prefer, you may dip (intinct) the bread in the wine chalice. If you wish to receive a blessing, or only bread, simply place your hands across your chest when the priest or server comes to you. Children are welcome to receive communion at the discretion of their parents. Wherever you are in your faith journey, we welcome you at Trinity. God s grace sustains us as we strive to know, love and serve others in our daily lives. Thank you for worshiping with us.

2 VOLUNTARIES Prelude William H. Harris Pavane Paul Drayton WELCOME THE ENTRANCE RITEI The people stand to sing the Processional Hymn, and remain standing through the Collect of the Day. PROCESSIONAL HYMN If thou but trust in God to guide thee Wer nur den lieben Gott Hymnal 635 OPENING ACCLAMATION Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And blessed be his kingdom, now and for ever. Amen. THE COLLECT FOR PURITY ALMIGHTY God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen. SUMMARY OF THE LAW HEAR what our Lord Jesus Christ saith: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets. CANTICLE OF PRAISE Sung by all The Third Song of Isaiah (Surge, Illuminare) Tone 5 BCP p. 87 2

3 THE COLLECT OF THE DAY The Lord be with you. And also with you. Let us pray. O God, the strength of all who put their trust in thee: Mercifully accept our prayers; and because through the weakness of our mortal nature, we can do no good thing without thee, give us the help of thy grace, that in keeping thy commandments we may please thee both in will and deed; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. THE WORD OF GODI The people are seated for the First Lesson, Psalm, and Second Lesson. 3

4 THE FIRST LESSON Choose life Deuteronomy 30:15-20 Moses said, See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, death and adversity. If you obey the commandments of the LORD your God that I am commanding you today, by loving the LORD your God, walking in his ways, and observing his commandments, decrees, and ordinances, then you shall live and become numerous, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to possess. But if your heart turns away and you do not hear, but are led astray to bow down to other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you shall perish; you shall not live long in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess. I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live, loving the LORD your God, obeying him, and holding fast to him; for that means life to you and length of days, so that you may live in the land that the LORD swore to give to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. THE GRADUAL PSALM Sung by all Beati immaculati Psalm 119:1-8 Chant: Shirley Hill *Directions for singing Anglican Chant may be found following the text of the Psalm. 4

5 Anglican Chant is sung in speech rhythm. The top notes are the melody sung by the congregation. The ticks ( ' ) in the text correspond to the bar lines in the music. A line over two or more syllables or words indicates that those syllables or words are to be sung to one note. Two dots ( ) above a syllable indicate that the syllable is to be sung to two notes. A dash ( ) before a line of text indicates that the first note (half note) of the chant is to be omitted. In the case of double chants (14 measures), a dagger ( ) before a verse indicates that the verse is to be sung to the second half of the double chant. THE SECOND LESSON God gives the growth 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 Brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but rather as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for solid food. Even now you are still not ready, for you are still of the flesh. For as long as there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving according to human inclinations? For when one says, I belong to Paul, and another, I belong to Apollos, are you not merely human? What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you came to believe, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. The one who plants and the one who waters have a common purpose, and each will receive wages according to the labor of each. For we are God s servants, working together; you are God s field, God s building. The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. The people stand to sing the Sequence Hymn and remain standing for the Gospel. SEQUENCE HYMN I come with joy Land of Rest Hymnal 304 THE GOSPEL The teaching of Christ: forgiveness Matthew 5:21-37 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. Glory be to thee, O Lord. Jesus said, You have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, You shall not murder ; and whoever murders shall be liable to judgment. But I say to you that if you are angry with a 5

6 brother or sister, you will be liable to judgment; and if you insult a brother or sister, you will be liable to the council; and if you say, You fool, you will be liable to the hell of fire. So when you are offering your gift at the altar, if you remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother or sister, and then come and offer your gift. Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are on the way to court with him, or your accuser may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Truly I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny. You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery. But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to go into hell. It was also said, Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce. But I say to you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. Again, you have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, You shall not swear falsely, but carry out the vows you have made to the Lord. But I say to you, Do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. Let your word be Yes, Yes or No, No ; anything more than this comes from the evil one. The Gospel of the Lord. Praise be to thee, O Christ. The people are seated for the Sermon. THE SERMON The people stand for the Nicene Creed and the Prayers of the People. Becky McDaniel THE NICENE CREED Said by all 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 6

7 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. THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE After each intercession: Let us pray to the Lord. Lord, have mercy. In the petition for the sick, the people join in naming those with special needs. Betsy Brown, Jack Buchanan, Patti Burtner, Ginny Cassidy, Pat Clark*, Lee Cochran*, Gary Connor, Jim Cramer*, Oliver Crawley, Paula Deacon, Martha Dudley*, Patricia Duke, Robert Dunn*, Sean Flanders*, Randy Garber, Dorris Harris, Tom Hawks, Jennifer Hudson, George Huffman, Sawyer Hull, Charles Jordan, Illa Judd, Lolo Kable*, Cindy & Brian Killough, Jean Kivlighan* Final intercession In the communion of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and all the saints, let us commend ourselves, and one another, and all our life, to Christ our God. To thee, O Lord. Concluding Collect Gracious God, you call us to be servants through whose witness many may come to believe; give us grace to do as we pray, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The people kneel for the Confession. CONFESSION OF SIN AND ABSOLUTION Confession said by all MOST merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against thee in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved thee with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of thy Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in thy will, and walk in thy ways, to the glory of thy Name. Amen. ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father, who of his great mercy hath promised forgiveness of sins to all those who with hearty repentance and true faith turn unto him, have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and bring you to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. THE PEACE All stand The peace of the Lord be always with you. And with thy spirit. The people greet one another with a sign of God s peace and then are seated. 7

8 THE HOLY COMMUNIONI THE OFFERTORY The people remain seated while their offerings of bread and wine are brought forward and their monetary gifts are received. The collection taken at this liturgy is divided between the maintenance and mission of Trinity Episcopal Church and the charitable causes we support. We are grateful for your generous giving. OFFERTORY ANTHEM Turn back, O man Gustav Holst Turn back O Man, forswear thy foolish ways. Old now is Earth, and none may count her days. Yet, thou, her child, whose head is crowned with flame, still wilt not hear thine inner God proclaim turn back O man, forswear thy foolish ways! Earth might be fair and all men glad and wise, age after age their tragic empires rise. Built while they dream, and in that dreaming weep would man but wake from out his haunted sleep. Earth shall be fair, and all her people one, nor till that hour shall God s whole will be done. Now, even now, once more from earth to sky peals forth in joy man s old undaunted cry Earth shall be fair, and all her folk be one! The people stand to sing the Presentation Hymn, and remain standing through the Sanctus & Benedictus. PRESENTATION HYMN Sung by all As they offered gifts most rare Dix Hymnal 119, v. 3 THE GREAT THANKSGIVING EUCHARISTIC PRAYER II The Book of Common Prayer, p. 340 The Lord be with you. And with thy spirit. Lift up your hearts. We lift them up unto the Lord. Let us give thanks unto our Lord God. It is meet and right so to do. The presider offers our thanks to God for the grace and mercy made available to us in Christ. 8

9 SANCTUS & BENEDICTUS Sung by all Missa de Sancta Maria Magdalena Healey Willan Hymnal S 114 The people may kneel or remain standing. The presider continues with the Eucharistic Prayer. BCP p. 341 ALL glory be to thee, O Lord our God.... By whom, and with whom, and in whom, in the unity of the Holy Ghost all honor and glory be unto thee, O Father Almighty, world without end. AMEN. THE LORD S PRAYER 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 FRACTION ANTHEM Sung by all Agnus Dei Healey Willan Hymnal S 158 9

10 PRAYER OF HUMBLE ACCESS Said by all WE do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table. But thou art the same Lord whose property is always to have mercy. Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood, that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen. MINISTRATION OF COMMUNION All are welcome to come to the altar. There is a place set here for you. Gluten-free wafers are available on request. Baptized Christians may receive Communion. Those not yet baptized may receive a blessing. The ushers will guide you forward. ANTHEM DURING COMMUNION There's a wideness in God's mercy 15th c. French melody; arr. Charles Wood There s a wideness in God s mercy like the wideness of the sea; there s a kindness in his justice which is more than liberty, there is welcome for the sinner and more graces for the good; there is mercy with the Savior; there is healing in his blood. There is no place where earth s sorrows are more felt than up in heaven; there is no place where earth s failings have such kindly judgment given. There is plentiful redemption in the blood that has been shed; there is joy for all the members in the sorrows of the Head. For the love of God is broader than the measure of the mind; and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more faithful, we should take him at his word; and our life would be thanksgiving for the goodness of the Lord. HYMN DURING COMMUNION Sung by all, seated Go forth for God Litton Hymnal

11 SENDING FORTH OF THE EUCHARISTIC VISITORS At the conclusion of communion, the Eucharistic Visitors go to the altar rail. We send you out to share Communion this day. May you carry the prayers of all of us as you take this sacrament of Christ s presence. May those who receive it from you be strengthened and encouraged in that community we have together in our Lord Jesus Christ. THE POSTCOMMUNION PRAYER Said by all, standing Let us pray ALMIGHTY and everliving God, we most heartily thank thee for that thou dost feed us, in these holy mysteries, with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby of thy favor and goodness towards us; and that we are very members incorporate in the mystical body of thy Son, the blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs, through hope, of thy everlasting kingdom. And we humbly beseech thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy grace, that we may continue in that holy fellowship, and do all such good works as thou hast prepared for us to walk in; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honor and glory, world without end. Amen. THE BLESSING The presider offers a blessing, and the people respond Amen.
