In the scripture lesson for today, Paul urges spiritual maturity to the community at Colossae a faith that is deeply rooted in the fullness and authority of Christ. In Luke, Jesus encourages his disciples to approach God with intimacy using the language of Father, in what we have come to call The Lord s Prayer. The God of Israel waits with longing and expectation, desiring to give abundantly to those who knock at the door.

Thanksgiving and Communion This morning we give thanks for the Center for Instructional Technology (CIT). We value its support of the academic mission of the University by helping instructors find innovative ways to use technology to achieve their teaching goals. Drawing on expertise in both technology and pedagogy, CIT seeks to enliven the learning experience through technology. The ushers bring an ipod to the altar. In Durham we remember the Durham Police Department and its mission to partner with citizens in safeguarding the community, especially through the efforts of Partners Against Crime in each district. The ushers bring forward a map of the five police districts in the city of Durham.

Wine is used for communion. The tradition as understood at Duke Chapel is that the Holy Spirit makes Christ fully present in both the bread and the wine. If you receive only the bread, be assured that you are nonetheless in full communion with Christ and the Church. If you have a gluten allergy, those serving communion nearest to the Memorial Chapel will be ready to serve you gluten-free wafers and wine on request. You may also come forward to receive a blessing, indicated by crossing your arms over your chest. If you would like to receive individual anointing with oil and prayers for healing, ministers will be in the Memorial Chapel during communion.
