St Paul s Anglican Church, Samford

2 Season of Pentecost- Ordinary Time Most of the Seasons of the Christian Church Year are organized around the two major festivals that mark sacred time, Christmas and Easter. The Christmas Season encompasses the time of preparation during Advent and the celebration of the Twelve Days of Christmas and Epiphany (January 6th). The Easter Season encompasses the time of preparation during the 40 weekdays of Lent and Holy Week, and is linked with Pentecost Sunday 50 days later. While there are other individual holy days within the church year, these seasons mark the movement of sacred time within the church calendar. The rest of the year following Epiphany and Pentecost is known as Ordinary Time. Rather than meaning common or mundane, this term comes from the word ordinal, which simply means counted time (Second Sunday after Pentecost, etc.), which is probably a better way to think of this time of the year. In fact no Sunday is ordinary because it is always a mini Easter, the Day of the Lord, the celebration of the day Christ rose from the dead. So the title Ordinary is used to differentiate these days from the Sundays of preparation and festival. Rowan Williams, our current Archbishop of Canterbury, has said of Ordinary time that it is actually the extraordinary time won for us in Christ. Counted time after Pentecost always begins with Trinity Sunday (the first Sunday after Pentecost) and ends with Christ the King Sunday or the Reign of Christ the King (last Sunday before the beginning of Advent). Many Protestant church traditions consider the Sundays following Epiphany a season of Epiphany that runs until the beginning of Lent. Those traditions that follow the Roman Catholic calendar only count January 6th as Epiphany and do not think of a season of Epiphany, so consider the Sundays following part of Ordinary Time. In either case, the Sundays after Epiphany are counted (1st Sunday after Epiphany, etc.) so technically are Ordinary Time. One feature of Ordinary Sundays is the way the New Testament and the Gospels are read. In the festival seasons the readings are chosen according to the theme of the season. In Ordinary Time, they are read in sequence so that a particular book is read completely through. Each year is given over to a particular Gospel. A worshipper, coming regularly to the Sunday Eucharist for the three years, will hear most of the New Testament read aloud. The sanctuary color for Ordinary Time is traditionally dark green, although other shades of green are commonly used. Green is symbolic of the new life and also of the Holy Spirit. Prayer Thought for Today I Believe that Your are The Christ: Today we hear how Peter professed his faith in our Lord. We renew our faith at this Eucharist, acknowledging Jesus as the Son of God, our Saviour and Lord. St Paul s Anglican Church, Samford Page 2

3 Entrance Hymn 1. Come, Holy Spirit, come! inflame our souls with love, transforming every heart and home with wisdom from above. O let us not despise the humble path Christ trod, but choose, to shame the worldly-wise, the foolishness of God. 2. All-knowing Spirit, prove the poverty of pride, by knowledge of the Father s love in Jesus crucified. And grant us faith to know the glory of that sign, and in our very lives to show the marks of love divine. 3. Give us the tongues to speak, in every time and place, to rich and poor, to strong and weak, the word of love and grace. Enable us to hear the words that others bring, interpreting with open ear the special song they sing. 4. Come, Holy Spirit, dance within our hearts today, our earth-bound spirits to entrance, our mortal fears allay; and teach us to desire all other things above, that self-consuming holy fire, the perfect gift of love.

4 Blessed be God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Blessed be God s kingdom, now and for ever. The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. And also with you. Sentence Those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for the sake of the gospel will save it. Mark 8:35 There is one Body and one Spirit; there is one hope in God's call to us. One Lord, one Faith, one Baptism, one God and Father of all. In confirmation those who have been previously baptised come to confirm their baptismal promises and join with the other candidates to receive the laying on of the bishop's hand with prayer. We pray that those who are baptised and confirmed will be empowered by the Holy Spirit for the ministry and service to which God shall call them. So we welcome you, Matt and Jenni, with your sponsors, families and friends. We give thanks for you, and pray that you may know God's love and faithfulness for ever. Priest: Priest: Let us Pray Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hidden: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy name, through Christ our Lord. Amen. The Spirit of truth comes to convict of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement. Silence is kept for a moment. Priest: Let us then open our hearts and confess our sins in penitence and faith. St Paul s Anglican Church, Samford Page 4

5 Merciful God, our maker and our judge, we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, and in what we have failed to do: we have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves; we repent, and are sorry for all our sins. Father, forgive us. Strengthen us to love and obey you in newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Almighty God, who has promised forgiveness to all who turn to him in faith: Pardon you and set you free from all your sins, strengthen you in all goodness and keep you in eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Lord, have mercy Christ, have mercy Lord, have mercy Please Stand for the Gloria Glory to God in the highest, and peace to God s 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 prayer. 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. St Paul s Anglican Church, Samford Page 5

6 Collect God of mercy, help us to forgive as you have forgiven us, to trust you, even when hope is failing, and to take up our cross daily and to follow you in your redeeming work; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lines and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. Heavenly Father, by the power of your Holy Spirit you give your faithful people new life in the water of baptism. Guide and strengthen us by the same Spirit, that we who are born again may serve you in faith and love, and grow into the full stature of your Son, Jesus Christ, who is alive and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit now and for ever. Amen. Please be seated for the readings A reading from the Book of Isaiah Chapter 50 - beginning at verse 4 (NRSV) The servant of the Lord said: The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of a teacher, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word. Morning by morning he wakens- wakens my ear to listen as those who are taught. The Lord GOD has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, I did not turn backward. I gave my back to those who struck me, and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard; I did not hide my face from insult and spitting. The Lord GOD helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame; he who vindicates me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together. Who are my adversaries? Let them confront me. It is the Lord GOD who helps me; who will declare me guilty? Hear the word of the Lord, thanks be to God. St Paul s Anglican Church, Samford Page 6

7 Psalm 19 Said Together 1. The heavens are telling the glory of God and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. 2. One day pours out its song to another and one night unfolds knowledge to another. 3. They have neither speech nor language and their voices are not heard, 4. Yet their sound has gone out into all lands and their words to the ends of the world. 5. In them has he set a tabernacle for the sun, that comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber and rejoices as a champion to run his course. 6. It goes forth from the end of the heavens and runs to the very end again, and there is nothing hidden from its heat. 7. The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure and gives wisdom to the simple. 8. The statutes of the Lord are right and rejoice the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure and gives light to the eyes. 9. The fear of the Lord is clean and endures for ever; the judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10. More to be desired are they than gold, more than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey, dripping from the honeycomb. 11. By them also is your servant taught and in keeping them there is great reward. 12. Who can tell how often they offend? O cleanse me from my secret faults! 13. Keep your servant also from presumptuous sins lest they get dominion over me; so shall I be undefiled, and innocent of great offence. 14. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer. Glory to God; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; as in the beginning, so now, and for ever. Amen St Paul s Anglican Church, Samford Page 7

8 A reading from the Letter to the James Chapter 2 - beginning at verse 18 (NRSV) But someone will say, You have faith and I have works. Show me your faith without works, and I by my works will show you my faith. You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe- and shudder. Do you want to be shown, you senseless person, that faith without works is barren? Was not our ancestor Abraham justified by works when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was brought to completion by the works. Thus the scripture was fulfilled that says, Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and he was called the friend of God. You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. Likewise, was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out by another road? For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is also dead. Gradual Hymn Hear the word of the Lord, thanks be to God. 1. Holy Spirit, go before us, every mind and heart prepare for good news of life in Jesus, for the joyful hope we share. Gently lead the lost to safety, gently teach them Wisdom s way, till they come to seek you gladly, till we find the words to say. 2. Holy Spirit, come and help us, give us words to speak of Christ. Teach us how to tell all people: deepest darkness can be light! Help us tell how faithful God is, and how Jesus sets us free; take our words, and make them gospel, so that many may believe. 3. Holy Spirit, stay to show us how to serve as Christ served us. May our words of love be grounded in love s actions, first and last. Your good news is news of justice, and the strong befriend the weak in your service, till compassion builds the peace the nations seek. Elizabeth J. Smith 1956 Words E. J.

9 Gospel Acclamation Alleluia, alleluia! My only glory is the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, which crucifies the world to me and me to the world Alleluia! The Lord be with you And also with you. The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark Chapter 8- beginning at verse 27 (NRSV) Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, Who do people say that I am? And they answered him, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets. He asked them, But who do you say that I am? Peter answered him, You are the Messiah. And he sternly ordered them not to tell anyone about him.then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. He said all this quite openly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things. He called the crowd with his disciples, and said to them, If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it. For what will it profit them to gain the whole world and forfeit their life? Indeed, what can they give in return for their life? Those who are ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of them the Son of Man will also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. This is the gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. All sit for the Sermon- The Rt. Reverend Jonathan Holland (Bishop of the Northern Region) We pause for a few moments of silent recollection. The bishop invites the candidates for confirmation, with their sponsors, to stand in view of the congregation. St Paul s Anglican Church, Samford Page 9

10 The Presentation We welcome those who have come to be confirmed. I invite their sponsors to present them now. The congregation repsonds by saying We present Matt and Jenni Lord who come to be confirmed. The Decision Speaking to the candidates the Bishop says: Before God and this congregation, you must affirm that you turn to Christ and reject all that is evil: Do you turn to Christ? Candidates: I turn to Christ. Do you repent of your sins? Candidates: I repent of my sins. Do you reject selfish living, and all that is false and unjust? Candidates: I reject them all. Do you renounce Satan and all evil? Candidates: I renounce all that is evil. Almighty God deliver you from the powers of darkness, and lead you in the light of Christ to his everlasting kingdom. Amen. Will you each, by God's grace, strive to live your whole life as a disciple of Christ, loving God with all your heart, and your neighbour as yourself? Candidates: I will, with God's help. The Congregation stands and the Bishop says to them: You have heard these our brothers and sisters renew their response to Christ. Will you support them in this calling? We will. Please remain standing Priest: Let us pray for those who have affirmed their Baptism and are to receive the laying on of hands. Grant, Father, that Matt and Jenni may be so buried with Christ in baptism that the new nature may be raised up in them. May the fruit of your Spirit grow and flourish in them. Amen.

We thank you for the ministry we have in your world and to each other in the household of faith. Hasten that day when the whole creation shall be made perfect in Christ. Amen. The Profession of Faith The bishop says to the candidates to be confirmed. The congregation responds with the candidates. I now ask you to affirm as yours the faith of the Church. Do you believe in God the Father? I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth; Do you believe in God the Son? I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit? I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the reserrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. This is the faith of the Church. This is our faith: We believe in one God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. St Paul s Anglican Church, Samford Page 11

12 Would the congregation please sit The Confirmation Our help is in the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth. Blessed be the name of the Lord now, and for ever. Amen. Almighty and everliving God, you have given your servants new birth by water and the Spirit, and have forgiven them their sins. Strengthen them, we pray, with the Holy Spirit that they may grow in grace. Increase in them the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of discernment and inner strength, the spirit of knowledge and true godliness, and fill them with wonder and awe at your presence, through Jesus Christ our Lord now and for ever.

Defend, O Lord, these your servants with your heavenly grace, that they may continue yours for ever, and daily increase in your Holy Spirit more and more until they come to your everlasting kingdom. Amen. St Paul s Anglican Church, Samford Page 12

13 The Bishop prays for those upon whom hands have been laid. Almighty and everliving God, watch over these your servents upon whom we have laid our hands. Let you Holy Spirit always be with them and lead them to know and obey your word, that they may serve you in this life, and dwell with you in the life to come: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The newly confirmed are brought forward and face the congrgation and receive a round of applause. All stand. In baptism, God had made us one in Christ. His Spirit is with us. The peace of the Lord be always with you. And also with you. We greet one another with a sign of peace. The newly confirmed return to their places to exchange the greeting. Offertory Hymn 1. There s a spirit in the air, telling Christians everywhere: Praise the love that Christ revealed, living, working in our world. 2. Lose your shyness, find your tongue, tell the world what God has done: God in Christ has come to stay. Live tomorrow s life today. 3. When believers break the bread, when a hungry child is fed, praise the love that Christ revealed, living, working in our world. 4.

20 September 16, 2012 Fourth Sunday After Pentecost For further reflection. Isaiah How would you describe the servant s mission? His relationship with God? How does he differ form the nation of Israel? What new elements about the servant, not found in the previous two servant songs, are added to this passage? Why might the servant be mistreated like this and what give the servant confidence and hope in the light of such treatment.? Mark Why is the question, Who do you say the I am so important? Who did the people of Jesus day think he was? Who do people today say Jesus is? What about you, and how has your answer changed over time? According to this passage what is involved in being a follower of Jesus? Some tips for Reading the Bible.. 1. What is the verse actually saying? Who is speaking? Who is being spoken to? What is being said? When is happening? Where is it happening? 2. What does the passage mean to me? What is the main message of the passage? Why do you think it has been included in the bible? How does the passage link up with other passages? Why has God put this passage in front of me? What can you learn from the passage- is there something new or is it a reminder? 3. What do I do about it? Is there something I should be doing about what I have read?
