Service of Worship Third Sunday after the Epiphany January 27, 2013 Eleven o clock in the morning Keeping the heart of the University listening to the heart of God What does it mean to be the people of God? The scripture lessons this morning seek to answer that question. In I Corinthians, Paul uses the metaphor of a body to talk about Christian community. In using this description, he encourages followers of Christ to treasure their different gifts and to pursue harmony in striving to be the body of Christ for the world. In Luke, Jesus quotes Isaiah and speaks to the liberating nature of God s action in the world a vision of jubilee where sight is recovered and captives are released.
The congregation is asked to remain silent during the prelude as a time of prayer and meditation.

The event is free and open to the public. Questions People Often Ask - Why do we read the gospel from the center aisle? This was the practice of the Western Church in ancient times, from at least the fourth century onward. The gospel has a special status because in it are recorded the very words of Jesus himself. Placing its reading at the center of our worship reflects this authority it makes it clear the gospel stands at the very center of the Chapel s faith and life. Like the opening procession and closing recession, the gospel procession displays the pilgrim character of the church. We invite the congregation to turn to face the gospel, as an embodiment of the repentance the gospel asks of us. Duke Chapel has an interdenominational foundation: this is one way we draw on all the riches of the Church s liturgical heritage to enhance our encounter with the living God.
