WELCOME TO ALL SAINTS

1 WELCOME TO ALL SAINTS Your Episcopal Church in Russellville February 19, 2017, 10:30 am 501 South Phoenix, Russellville, AR What is a superhuman response? An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. We have heard this many times and have applied it. Retaliating is an easy way to respond when we are faced with injustice. The failure of Christianity is not in recognizing our calling to go against what is natural. Jesus with all his powers as the Son of God could have wiped out the world for the injustice done to him. But for some reason he found enough compassion to hang on to the cross rather than retaliate. When we do not face our subhuman inclination to reject human dignity in the midst of injustice, we have only proven we are less than what Christ has intended us to be. So today let us rise above our need for vengeance to God's call to give life. Today the invitation is not to be like those who kill, destroy, reject, separate and are selfish, but to give life, unite, build, and be unselfish. Jos+ 1

7 The Collect of the Day Celebrant People Celebrant The Lord be with you. And also with you. Let us pray. O Lord, you have taught us that without love whatever we do is worth nothing: Send your Holy Spirit and pour into our hearts your greatest gift, which is love, the true bond of peace and of all virtue, without which whoever lives is accounted dead before you. Grant this for the sake of your only Son Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. AMEN. The Lessons Please be seated Lector: Leviticus 19:1-2,9-18 A Reading from the Book of Leviticus. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them: You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy. When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very edges of your field, or gather the gleanings of your harvest. You shall not strip your vineyard bare, or gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the alien: I am the Lord your God. You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; and you shall not lie to one another. And you shall not swear falsely by my name, profaning the name of your God: I am the Lord. You shall not defraud your neighbor; you shall not steal; and you shall not keep for yourself the wages of a laborer until morning. You shall not revile the deaf or put a stumbling block before the blind; you shall fear your God: I am the Lord. 7

8 You shall not render an unjust judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great: with justice you shall judge your neighbor. You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not profit by the blood of your neighbor: I am the Lord. You shall not hate in your heart anyone of your kin; you shall reprove your neighbor, or you will incur guilt yourself. You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against any of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.

Lector People The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Please stand. Psalm 119:33-40 Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes, * and I shall keep it to the end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep your law; * I shall keep it with all my heart. Make me go in the path of your commandments, * for that is my desire. Incline my heart to your decrees * and not to unjust gain. Turn my eyes from watching what is worthless; * give me life in your ways. Fulfill your promise to your servant, * which you make to those who fear you. 9

10 Turn away the reproach which I dread, * because your judgments are good. Behold, I long for your commandments; * in your righteousness preserve my life. Please be seated. Lector: 1 Corinthians 3:10-11,16-23 A Reading from the First Letter of the Apostle Paul to the Church at Corinth. According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building on it. Each builder must choose with care how to build on it. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one that has been laid; that foundation is Jesus Christ. Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple. Do not deceive yourselves. If you think that you are wise in this age, you should become fools so that you may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He catches the wise in their craftiness, and again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile. So let no one boast about human leaders. For all things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future-- all belong to you, and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God. 1 Corinthians 3:10-11,16-23 ၁၀ ဒ ယ အဘ အဖ လ အဟ ယ အသ န, ဒ ပ မ ဟ တဖ အခ လ အက တ သ တဂ အသ န,ယပ လ လဟ အခ ထ လ. ဒ ပ ဂ သ ထ တ လ အဖ ခ လ. ဘ ဆ ဒ မ အသ ထ တ လ အဖ ခ ဒ လ ဒ လ န, မ အပလ အသ စ စ တ က. ၁၁ အဂ ဒ အ, လ တ အခ ထ,လ အပ လ အသ ဝ လ, လ အမ ယ ရ ခရ န အမ ည,ပ ပ အခသထ လ အဂ အဂ တသ ဘ နတဂ ဘ.- 10

Glory to you, Lord Christ. 11

12 Jesus said, You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also; and if anyone wants to sue you and take your coat, give your cloak as well; and if anyone forces you to go one mile, go also the second mile. Give to everyone who begs from you, and do not refuse anyone who wants to borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Lector People The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Christ. The Sermon Please be seated Nicene Creed BCP pg. 358 Celebrant and People 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 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. 13

Preface Because in the mystery of the Word made flesh, you have caused a new light to shine in our hearts, to give the knowledge of your glory in the face of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sings this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name: Celebrant and People Sanctus, The Hymnal 1982, Service Music - #128 The Holy Eucharist II, Holy, holy, holy Lord: Sanctus 19

20 The Celebrant continues. Kneel as able. BCP pg. 362 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. 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. Celebrant Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith: Celebrant and People 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. 20

21 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. 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, Celebrant and People BCP pg. 364 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: BCP pg. 364 Silence is kept Celebrant: People: Alleluia.

To receive the wine, please assist the minister with the cup, grasping the base and guiding the cup to your lips; or you may dip the bread in the cup.

23 Recessional Hymn: God is Love, let heaven adore him (#379) Peace Prayer Celebrant and People Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, union; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. AMEN. The Dismissal Deacon People Alleluia, Alleluia.
