Your word summons us to faith; your power transforms our lives. Free us to follow in Christ s footsteps, so that neither human loyalty nor earthly attachment may hold us back from answering your call.

Liturgy of the Word FIRST READING A Reading from the Book of Jonah. (3:1 5, 10) The Lord told Jonah to go to that great city of Nineveh and preach his message of doom. Jonah obeyed the Lord and went to Nineveh. The city was so big that it took three days just to walk through it. After walking for a day, Jonah warned the people, Forty days from now, Nineveh will be destroyed! They believed God s message and set a time when they would go without eating to show their sorrow. Then everyone in the city, no matter who they were, dressed in sackcloth. When God saw that the people had stopped doing evil things, he had pity and did not destroy them as he had planned. The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Contemporary English Version (CEV) Copyright 2005 by American Bible Society Our children are invited to assist in the procession of the Gospel book. As the Deacon carries the Gospel book past the play area and forward in the main aisle, all children are encouraged to come out of their pews to join in the procession.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Music: Caribbean traditional, arr. John L. Bell (b. 1949) HOLY GOSPEL Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark. (1:14 20) Glory to you, Lord Christ. After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, preaching the Good News from God. He said, The right time has come. The kingdom of God is near. Change your hearts and lives and believe the Good News! When Jesus was walking by Lake Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew throwing a net into the lake because they were fishermen. Jesus said to them, Come follow me, and I will make you fish for people. So Simon and Andrew immediately left their nets and followed him. Going a little farther, Jesus saw two more brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat, mending their nets. Jesus immediately called them, and they left their father in the boat with the hired workers and followed Jesus. The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Christ.

GREAT THANKSGIVING Presider Presider Presider Reader God be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give God thanks and praise. Why is it right to give thanks and praise? Listen, and we will hear. Lord of all life, you created the universe, where all living things reflect your glory. You give us this great and beautiful earth, to discover and to cherish. You give us friends and families, busy streets for young and old, the life of an earthly city fulfilled in your city to come. You made us all, each wonderfully different, to join with the angels and sing your praise: sing. We thank you, loving Father, because, when we turned away, you sent Jesus, your Son. He gave his life for us on the cross and shows us the way to live. Send your Holy Spirit that these gifts of bread and wine may be for us Christ s body and his blood. Reader Why do we share this bread and wine? Listen, and we will hear. On the night before he died, when darkness had fallen, Jesus took bread. He gave thanks, broke it, and shared it with his disciples, saying: This is my body, given for you. Do this to remember me. After they had eaten, he took the cup of wine, gave thanks, and shared it with his disciples, saying: This is my blood, poured out for you and for many, for the forgiveness of sins. So Father, with this bread and this cup we celebrate his love, his death, his risen life. As you feed us with these gifts, send your Holy Spirit, and change us more and more to be like Jesus our Savior. 9
