1 The Episcopal Church of Saints Andrew and Matthew The Reverend David T. Andrews, Jr., Rector SEASON OF CREATION 2017 Holy Eucharist November 12, :00 and 10:30 a.m. Fifth Sunday WORLD PEACE ORIGAMI CRANES FOR WORLD PEACE SUNDAY The crane, a traditional symbol of luck in Japan, was popularized as a peace symbol by the story of Sadako Sasaki ( ), a girl who died as a result of the atomic bomb exploded over Hiroshima in According to the story, in her last illness she started folding paper cranes, inspired by the Japanese saying that one who folded a thousand paper cranes was granted a wish. Thanks to all those who made origami cranes for today s tribute to world peace.
2 During the Season of Creation, much of the text in our liturgies is contemporary and reflective of our parish s view on the use of inclusive (or expansive) language. For more detailed information on this, please pick up a copy of the brochure entitled: The use of EXPANSIVE LANGUAGE (INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE) at The Episcopal Church of Saints Andrew and Matthew Prepared in July 2004 by the Expansive Language Task Force, appointed by the Liturgy and Special Events Committee of The Episcopal Church of Saints Andrew and Matthew. -2-

4 *HYMN IN PROCESSION # 593 Lord, make us servants of your peace Dickinson College The earth belongs to God and all that is in it. The world and all who dwell therein. Let everything that has breath praise God. Hallelujah! COLLECT FOR PURITY (all in unison) Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: 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. CANTICLE # 243 (LEVAS II) Glory to God Mass for Grace, Carl Haywood (b. 1949) COLLECT OF THE DAY Loving Creator, God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: kindle, we pray, in every heart the true love of peace, and guide with your wisdom those who take counsel for the nations of the earth, that in tranquillity your dominion may increase until all people everywhere are filled with the knowledge of your love, and peace and justice reign over all the earth; through Jesus, the Prince of peace, who with you and the holy Spirit, lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen. All sit for the readings. THE WORD OF GOD At the conclusion of each Reading: Hear what the Spirit is saying to God s people. Thanks be to God. FIRST READING Micah 4:3-4 He shall judge between many peoples, and shall arbitrate between strong nations far away; they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more; but they shall all sit under their own vines and under their own fig trees, and no one shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken. -4-
5 PSALM 85:7-14 (all singing) Benedixisti, Domine David Hurd Turn, revive us, nourish our joy. Show us mercy, save us, Lord. I listen to God speaking: "I, the Lord, speak peace, peace to my faithful people who turn their hearts to me." Salvation is coming near, - glory is filling our land. Love and faithfulness embrace, peace and justice kiss. Fidelity sprouts from the earth, justice leans down from heaven. The Lord pours out riches, our land springs to life. Justice clears God's path, justice points the way. From The Psalter: A faithful and inclusive rendering, Liturgy Training Publications (International Committee on English in the Liturgy, Inc.), SECOND READING A Reading from Rosemary Power Creator Lord of the unclaimed place and of clashing claims, of no one's land where some have homes, in danger zones, in human souls, in nations' claims: we are all guilty. We build barriers to hide what we fear to see, we draw lines in other people's hearts, we trample underfoot what others hold dear, we wear wounds unhealed with anger, we defend ourselves from other people's rights. Drive out the demons that divide neighbors. Jesus, in the land where your feet were tired, where you carried the oppressor's burden, broke the chains of the prisoners, demolished walls, made wounded lives blossom, and set our hearts free to turn and to serve: may you be the potter in our lives' neutral zones; in divided land, may justice return. Spirit of hope, may those who build houses live in them, those who plant olive trees harvest them, may they shelter under fig trees, give water to strangers, tell stories to children, keep Covenant with God. As we honor the graves of our neighbors may we face those we fear, cry justice for the oppressed, tell of love without end: may peace flourish till the moon fails. A Prayer from Seven Days - Stories and reflections for the World Week for Peace in Palestine and Israel by Rosemary Power All who are able, stand as the Gospel Book is carried in procession.
6 *HYMN Grant us thy peace Daniel L. Ridout, Jr. Verses 1-2, 4-5 (Music is found on page 13 of the service leaflet) THE HOLY GOSPEL Matthew 5:43-48 SERMON Congregation: Glory to you, Lord Christ 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 God makes the sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and 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, of what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Congregation: Praise to you, Lord Christ REFLECTION Romans 8:31, 35-36, What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered." For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. PRAYER (in unison) Bridges not walls Jan Sutch Pickard God-with-us, you sit down in our midst. Nothing can separate us from your love - not towering concrete walls or the deep darkness between searchlights; not distance from friends or despair in our hearts that the world's wrongs cannot be changed. You are with our brothers crowded at the checkpoint, with our sisters witnessing for peace: you sit down in our midst. Born into poverty, to displaced people living under occupation, you shared our human lives, and we know that your love can never be contained by the walls of separation. You sit down in our midst, God-with-us. Amen -6-
7 All stand for the Creed, and remain standing or kneel for the prayers. A LITURGICAL AFFIRMATION (unison) THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE Let us, God s people, pray. You, O God are supreme and holy, You create our world and give us life. Your purpose overarches everything we do. You have always been with us. You are God. Infinitely generous, good beyond all measure. You came to us before we came to you. You have revealed and proved your love for us in Jesus Christ, Who lived and died and rose again. You are with us now. You are God. You, O God, are Holy Spirit. You empower us to be your Gospel in the world. You reconcile and heal; You overcome death. You are God. We worship you. From the Book of Common Prayer of the Anglican Province of New Zealand Almighty All-Knowing God, you created each of us as bearers of the seeds of peace to one another and our world. Turn us from the fear and anger that divide us, and revive our faithfulness to you in our everyday thoughts, words, and actions. Nourish our joy for service to this Earth and all your people, especially those we name as our enemies. Lord of Mercy and Hope Let us embody your love and peace Almighty All-Knowing God, save us from these days of distressing political turmoil, distrust in one another, and increasing violence everywhere. Send your Holy Spirit to breathe through us, that we may find courage and strong yet calm, rational, and peace-filled voices within ourselves. Give us the words to speak to, and inspire all who hold power on our planet, in our nation, and in our hometowns, to turn the swords of today into tools of justice, harmony, and stability. We pray especially for: Donald, our President; Tom, Chris, and Lisa, our Members of Congress; John, our Governor; Matt, our County Executive; and Mike, our Mayor. Lord of Mercy and Hope Let us embody your love and peace Almighty All-Knowing God, comfort all who suffer serious physical or emotional pain, or desperate life circumstance, and instill hope and stamina in those provide support. We now join our voices to pray aloud for those in need -7-
8 Lord of Mercy and Hope Let us embody your love and peace Almighty All-Knowing God, as our hearts weep with those who mourn, hold us all fast in your eternal presence. Help us to find and extend consolation in your loving promise of the eternal life now granted to all who live again in your never-failing light. We pray especially for: Mildred Brewington and Jack Vernarde. Lord of Mercy and Hope Let us embody your love and peace Almighty All-Knowing God, we pause in this moment to offer you our other heartfelt thanksgivings, intercessions, petitions, and memorials, aloud or silently Lord of Mercy and Hope Let us embody your love and peace Almighty All-Knowing God, grant our spiritual leaders the purity of heart, hope of the Spirit, and the fidelity of faith to guide our soul journeys toward your Eternal Kingdom. We pray especially for: Michael, our Presiding Bishop; Kevin our Bishop-Elect; David, our Rector; Lloyd, our Rector Emeritus; Emily and Peter, our Associate Priests and Maryann, our Lay Pastoral Associate. We pray for the people of Bendel, Nigeria; La Anunciacion, Apeo, Mexico; and for the members of our Diocesan Council. Lord of Mercy and Hope Let us embody your love and peace The Celebrant adds the following prayer. O God our Source, our Savior, our Destination, grant us the will, the wisdom, and the inner peace to rise each day to face our fears, decry injustice, and live into the fullest extent of the faith we claim in you. We ask this through Jesus, our Christ, and the most Holy Spirit who, together with you, reign as One God, in heaven, on earth, and beyond all time and space. Amen. CONFESSION Let us confess our sins to God. God of all mercy, we confess that we have sinned against you, opposing your will in our lives. We have denied your goodness in each other, in ourselves, and in the world you have created. We repent of the evil that enslaves us, the evil we have done, and the evil done on our behalf. Forgive, restore, and strengthen us through our Savior Jesus Christ, that we may abide in your love and serve only your will. Amen. -8-
9 Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through the grace of Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen. PEACE The peace of Christ be always with you. And also with you. ANNOUNCEMENTS OFFERTORY THE HOLY COMMUNION *ANTHEM O Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem Herbert Howells ( ) O pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls and plenteousness within thy palaces. *HYMN # 210 (LEVAS II) Down By the Riverside Negro Spiritual 1. Goin to lay down my sword and shield, down by the riverside, down by the riverside, down by the riverside. (Repeat) I ain t goin t study war no more, ain t goin t study war no more, ain t goin t study war no more (Repeat) 2. Goin to lay down my war shoes Goin to put on my long white robe Goin to meet my loving savior... THE GREAT THANKSGIVING Eucharistic Prayer C, BCP 396 God be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them to God. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give God thanks and praise. God of all power, Ruler of the Universe, you are worthy of glory and praise. Glory to you for ever and ever. At your command all things came to be: the vast expanse of interstellar space, galaxies, suns, the planets in their courses, and this fragile earth, our island home. By your will they were created and have their being. From the primal elements you brought forth the human race, and blessed us with memory, reason, and skill. You made us the rulers of creation. But we turned against you, and betrayed your trust; and we turned against one another. Have mercy, Lord, for we are sinners in your sight.
10 Again and again, you called us to return. Through prophets and sages you revealed your righteous Law. And in the fullness of time you sent your only Son, born of a woman, to fulfill your Law, to open for us the way of freedom and peace. By his blood, he reconciled us. By his wounds, we are healed. And therefore we praise you, joining with the heavenly chorus, with prophets, apostles, and martyrs, and with all those in every generation who have looked to you in hope, to proclaim with them your glory, in their unending hymn: SANCTUS - *255 LEVAS II Music for a Soulful People, Grayson Warren Brown (b. 1948) The Celebrant continues: And so, gracious God, we who have been redeemed by him, and made a new people by water and the Spirit, now bring before you these gifts. Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ our Lord. On the night he was betrayed he took bread, said the blessing, broke the bread, and gave it to his friends, 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, gave thanks, 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. Remembering now his work of redemption, and offering to you this sacrifice of thanksgiving, We celebrate his death and resurrection, as we await the day of his coming. Lord God of our Holy Ancestors; God of Abraham and Sarah, Isaac, and Jacob; God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ: Open our eyes to see your hand at work in the world about us. Deliver us from the presumption of coming to this Table for solace only, and not for strength; for pardon only, and not for renewal. Let the grace of this Holy Communion make us one body, one spirit in Christ, that we may worthily serve the world in his name. Risen Lord, be known to us in the breaking of the Bread. Accept these prayers and praises, through Jesus Christ our great High Priest, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, your Church gives honor, glory, and worship, from generation to generation. *AMEN S 143 Missa de Angelis -10-
11 THE LORD S PRAYER (contemporary) BCP 364 As our Savior Christ has taught us, we now pray, Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and for ever. Amen. BREAKING OF THE BREAD FRACTION ANTHEM (*all singing) Christ Our Passover Craig Phillips (b. 1961) INVITATION (all in unison) The choir adds the following verse. Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us; therefore let us keep the feast. The ANTIPHON is repeated by all This is the table, not of the Church but of the Lord. It is made ready for those who seek him, those who love him and those who want to love him more. So come, you who have much faith and you who have little, or are questioning faith. You who have been here often and you who have not been for a long time or ever before, You who have tried to follow and you who have failed. Come, not because the Church invites you; It is Christ who invites you to be known, fed, and loved here. COMMUNION EVERYONE IS INVITED TO HOLY COMMUNION *VOLUNTARY The Peace May Be Exchanged Dan Locklair (b. 1949) *HYMN #597 O day of peace that dimly shines Jerusalem -11-
12 SENDING FORTH OF THE EUCHARISTIC VISITORS In the name of God and of this congregation, I send you forth bearing these holy gifts, that those to whom you go may share with us in Christ's body and blood, We who are many are one body, because we all share one bread, one cup. POST COMMUNION PRAYER (said by all) BLESSING O Loving Creator, you have nourished us from the grain and from the vine, the bread and cup of Christ: Now send us forth prompted by your Spirit to listen for the Earth s many cries for justice, and to stand with you in the world as instruments for the healing of our planet; we pray in Christ s most sacred name. Amen. *HYMN # 569 God the Omnipotent Russia DISMISSAL Environmental justice demands that low-income youth, including immigrant youth, and indigenous youth, live in communities that are secure from crime, drugs, disease, pollution and labor exploitation. Congregational Response: Thanks be to God *VOLUNTARY SsAM Drumming Circle -12-
