1 The Episcopal Church of the Atonement Atonement Sunday The Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost Holy Eucharist and Holy Baptism September 23, :00 am & 10:00 am 1

2 ATONEMENT SUNDAY Our new tradition Many churches celebrate a Founder s Day Sunday. Many others make a special celebration on their patronal feast day. The Episcopal Church doesn t have a Feast of the Atonement on the calendar, and we are not sure of exactly when the first Episcopalians gathered to worship from the Book of Common Prayer here in Westfield, although we think the year was September 14 is the Feast of the Holy Cross. And it was through Jesus death on the cross that God is reconciled to all of us, God s beloved creation thus making what theologians call atonement. Since 2013, the parish s 150 th year, we have celebrated ATONEMENT SUNDAY on a convenient Sunday near September 14. Our service today combines the liturgies of Baptism, Thanksgiving for a Church, and the Holy Eucharist. For our readings, we have chosen the Old and New Testament lessons for Holy Cross Day, and the Gospel for the 18 th Sunday after Pentecost. We are grateful for the permission of our bishop, The Rt. Rev. Douglas Fisher, to use worship materials from Enriching Our Worship as well as The Book of Common Prayer. Today we welcome an infant through Holy Baptism, and we welcome four Choral Scholars, Westfield State students, Lauren Console Pérez Soprano, Emily Stratton Alto, Sam Tsongalis Tenor, Jordan Allen Bass, who join us for a semester in our choir. Following the 10 am service, the Vestry invites you to join them for a festive coffee hour, and a brief report on The Spiritual Gifts Project. Voluntary Prelude and Fugue in G Johann Krebs Introit St. Francis Handbell Choir Quiet Praise Dan R. Edwards The Word of God All stand. The Hymnal 518 Christ is made the sure foundation Blessed be the one, holy, and living God. Glory to God for ever and ever. 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. The Lord be with you. And also with you. 2

3 A Litany of Thanksgiving for a Church Book of Common Prayer, p. 578 Let us thank God whom we worship here in the beauty of holiness. Eternal God, the heaven of heavens cannot contain you, much less the walls of temples made with hands. Graciously receive our thanks for this place, and accept the work of our hands, offered to your honor and glory. For the Church universal, of which these visible buildings are the symbol, For your presence whenever two or three have gathered together in your Name, For this place where we may be still and know that you are God, For making us your children by adoption and grace, and refreshing us day by day with the bread of life. For the knowledge of your will and the grace to perform it, For the fulfilling of our desires and petitions as you see best for us, For the pardon of our sins, which restores us to the company of your faithful people, For the blessing of our vows and the crowning of our years with your goodness, For the faith of those who have gone before us and for our encouragement by their perseverance, For the fellowship of all your Saints, After a brief silence, the concludes with the following Doxology Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty; For everything in heaven and on earth is yours. Yours, O Lord, is the kingdom; And you are exalted as head over all. Amen. The First Reading Isaiah 45:21-25 Declare and present your case; let them take counsel together! Who told this long ago? Who declared it of old? Was it not I, the Lord? There is no other god besides me, a righteous God and a Saviour; there is no one besides me. Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am 3

4 God, and there is no other. By myself I have sworn, from my mouth has gone forth in righteousness a word that shall not return: To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. Only in the Lord, it shall be said of me, are righteousness and strength; all who were incensed against him shall come to him and be ashamed. In the Lord all the offspring of Israel shall triumph and glory. Reader The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Psalm 98 At 8 am 1 Sing to the Lord a new song, * for he has done marvelous things. 2 With his right hand and his holy arm * has he won for himself the victory. 3 The Lord has made known his victory; * his righteousness has he openly shown in the sight of the nations. 4 He remembers his mercy and faithfulness to the house of Israel, * and all the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God. 5 Shout with joy to the Lord, all you lands; * lift up your voice, rejoice, and sing. 6 Sing to the Lord with the harp, * with the harp and the voice of song. 7 With trumpets and the sound of the horn * shout with joy before the King, the Lord. 8 Let the sea make a noise and all that is in it, * the lands and those who dwell therein. 9 Let the rivers clap their hands, * and let the hills ring out with joy before the Lord, when he comes to judge the earth. 10 In righteousness shall he judge the world * and the peoples with equity. 4

5 Psalm 98 at 10 am The Second Reading Philippians 2:5-11 Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death even death on a cross. Therefore God also highly exalted 5

6 him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Reader The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. The people stand. At 10 am The Hymnal 490 I want to walk as a child of the light The Gospel Mark 9:30-37 Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark. Glory to you, Lord Christ. Jesus and his disciples passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it; for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, The Son of Man is to be betrayed into human hands, and they will kill him, and three days after being killed, he will rise again. But they did not understand what he was saying and were afraid to ask him. Then they came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house he asked them, What were you arguing about on the way? But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another who was the greatest. He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all. Then he took a little child and put it among them; and taking it in his arms, he said to them, Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me. Deacon The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Christ. Sermon The Rev.

At 10 am and The Hymnal, S129 The continues Glory and honor are yours, Creator of all, your Word has never been silent; you called a people to yourself, as a light to the nations, you delivered them from bondage and led them to a land of promise. Of your grace, you gave Jesus to be human, to share our life, to proclaim the coming of your holy reign and give himself for us, a fragrant offering. Through Jesus Christ our Redeemer, you have freed us from sin, brought us into your life, reconciled us to you, and restored us to the glory you intend for us. We thank you that on the night before he died for us Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, gave it to his friends and said: Take, eat, this is my Body, broken for you. Do this for the remembrance of me. After supper Jesus took the cup of wine, said the blessing, gave it to his friends and said: Drink this, all of you: this cup is the new Covenant in my Blood, poured out for you and for all for the forgiveness of sin. Do this for the remembrance of me. And so, remembering all that was done for us: the cross, the tomb, the resurrection and ascension, longing for Christ s coming in glory, and presenting to you these gifts your earth has formed and human hands have made, we acclaim you, O Christ: and Dying, you destroyed our death. Rising, you restored our life. Christ Jesus, come in glory! 11
