People And blessed be God s kingdom, now and forever. Amen. The Collect of the Day Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Let us pray. Almighty God, you have given your only Son to be for us a sacrifice for sin, and also an example of godly life: Give us grace to receive thankfully the fruits of his redeeming work, and to follow daily in the blessed steps of his most holy life; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. Please sit Reading 1 Kings 2:10-12, 3:3-14 Lector A reading from the first book of Kings. David slept with his ancestors, and was buried in the city of David. The time that David reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem. So Solomon sat on the throne of his father David; and his kingdom was firmly established. Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the statutes of his father David; only, he sacrificed and offered incense at the high places. The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the principal high place; Solomon used to 4

offer a thousand burnt offerings on that altar. At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, Ask what I should give you. And Solomon said, You have shown great and steadfast love to your servant my father David, because he walked before you in faithfulness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart toward you; and you have kept for him this great and steadfast love, and have given him a son to sit on his throne today. And now, O Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David, although I am only a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. And your servant is in the midst of the people whom you have chosen, a great people, so numerous they cannot be numbered or counted. Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, able to discern between good and evil; for who can govern this your great people? It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this. God said to him, Because you have asked this, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches, or for the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern what is right, I now do according to your word. Indeed I give you a wise and discerning mind; no one like you has been before you and no one like you shall arise after you. I give you also what you have not asked, both riches and honor all your life; no other king shall compare with you. If you will walk in my ways, keeping my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your life. Lector Hear what the Spirit is saying to God s people. People Thanks be to God. Psalm 111 Confitibor tibi Chant: Richard Hoskins The Cantor sings the refrain, all repeat it Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart, * In the assembly of the upright, in the congregation. Great are the deeds of the Lord! * they are studied by all who delight in them. His work is full of majesty and splendour, * and his righteousness endures for ever. He makes his marvelous works to be remembered; * the Lord is gracious and full of compassion. Refrain He gives food to those who fear him; * he is ever mindful of his covenant. He has shown his people the power of his works * in giving them the lands * of the nation. The works of his hands are faithfulness and justice; * all his commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever, * because they are done in truth and equity. Refrain Alleluia The Cantor sings the Alleluia, all repeat it. The Alleluia is repeated after the Gospel reading. Celtic Alleluia 5

Please stand Gospel John 6:51-58 Deacon The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. People Glory to you, Lord Christ. Jesus said, I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh. The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? So Jesus said to them, Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live forever. Deacon The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord Christ. Please sit Sermon Nicene Creed (sung by all) We believe in God the Father, God Almighty by whose plan Earth and heaven sprang to being, all created things began. We believe in Christ the Savior, Son of God in human frame, virgin-born, the child of Mary upon whom the Spirit came. Christ, who on the cross forsaken, like a lamb to slaughter led, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, he descended to the dead. We believe in Jesus risen, heaven s king to rule and reign, to the Father s side ascended til as judge he comes again. We believe in God the Spirit; in one church, below, above; saints of God in one communion, one in holiness and love. So by faith, our sins forgiven, Christ our Savior, Lord and Friend, we shall rise with him in glory to the life that knows no end. The Rev. Larry Green HYMN TO JOY Prayers of the People We pray for the health of all those on our minds and hearts, and all those in Chicago: For all the sick and their caregivers, doctors, nurses, hospice workers, home healthcare workers, and all who minister to the health of others.

We pray for the criminal justice system in Cook County, Chicago, and our country: For all who are incarcerated in jails and prisons, their families, and their loved ones.

Zavala, 18; Monterae K. Hardin, 28; Darius Ortiz, 20, and an unknown victim age 28. Are there others? Lord, let thy kingdom come. Let thy will be done. We pray for governments and governing bodies of Chicago, Illinois, and our country: For the Mayor, City Council of Chicago, and all city employees; for the Governor and his Office; for the President and all members of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of our government. Lord, let thy kingdom come. Let thy will be done. We pray for the workplaces and businesses of Chicago: For safe, respectful work environments, healthy work ethics and attitudes, and sufficient salary and benefits for all workers. For financial institutions, economic development in depressed portions of the city, and full employment opportunities for all people. Lord, let thy kingdom come. Let thy will be done. We pray for all schools and educational institutions of Chicago; we pray for public, non-profit, and religious social service work and ministries; and we pray for persons in financial need in this city. Lord, let thy kingdom come. Let thy will be done. (the celebrant adds a concluding collect) Confession of Sin Celebrant Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. People Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. Celebrant Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.

The Doxology CHRISTE SANCTORUM X THE HOLY COMMUNION X Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Lift up your hearts. People We lift them to the Lord. Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People It is right to give God thanks and praise. It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. Because in Jesus Christ our Lord you have received us as your sons and daughters, made us citizens of your kingdom, and given us the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth. Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your name: Hymn S-125 Sanctus & Benedictus Richard Proulx Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself, and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all. He stretched out his 8

arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world. On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, 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; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, 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. Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith: Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again. We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts. Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom. All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ: By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. Amen. And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say, Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. The Breaking of the Bread and Invitation to Communion Celebrant We break this bread to share in the Body of Christ. People We who are many are one Body, for we all share in the one Bread. Communion Solo Please stand. Post-Communion Prayer Celebrant Let us pray. Eternal God, heavenly Father, you have graciously accepted us as living members of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ, and you have fed us with spiritual food in the sacrament of his Body and Blood. Send us now in the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve you with gladness and singleness of heart; through Christ our Lord. Amen. Please sit Birthdays and Anniversaries O God, our times are in your hand: Look with favor, we pray, on your servants as they begin another year. Grant that they may grow in wisdom and grace, and strengthen their trust in your goodness all the days of their life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Please stand Blessing May the Lord bless you and keep you; may the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. 9

Dr. Sam Portaro, Theologian-in-Residence Who am I and why am I here? There is abundant commission for a church who, through its scattered members and their varied gifts, extends the compelling love of God to the farthest reaches. Vocational discernment isn t just how the institutional church finds its ordained leadership. Vocational discernment is the most basic and essential expression of a meaningful life and the church's mission. This conversational series aims to encourage a renewed commitment to the ageless Christian discipline of vocational discernment as the foundation of all ministry, a discipline and responsibility of all the baptized, individually and collectively. Participants are encouraged to read the first four chapters of Sam s book, Transforming Vocation, for the first session. To sign up, contact the Parish Office.

If you have made provisions for St. Chrysostom s but have not yet notified us, or if you would like more information, please contact John Craib-Cox at (312) 593-6183 or Mike Lisle at (847) 404-6632. Intercessory prayer at Saint Chrysostom s In the news there has been a great deal of discussion of suicide, domestic violence and mental health. Please know that Saint Chrysostom s is here is for you. If you or someone you know is struggling, please feel free to contact our clergy or the church office. Every Tuesday at 9:30 AM, Rev.

The Campaign for St. Chrysostom s Church and Day School Exciting news! We have arrived at 50% of our $15,000,000 fundraising goal! After just over a year into the advancement phase of the Capital Campaign, we have hit half our fundraising goal! This an exceptional milestone, and demonstrates the commitment and passion found within the Saint Chrysostom s Church and Day School community. We remain deeply grateful to the many members who have stepped up with Leadership Gifts in support of the Campaign. While we have $7.5 million to go, we cannot contain our excitement! A successful campaign will mean more functional and missional space for outreach programs; expanded Day School classrooms, programs and scholarships; and stewardship of our historical and aging building. With God s blessing and your participation, this is possible. We ask that you give prayerful thought to how you can help ensure our success. Please take our calls and accept our invitations to discuss our plans. We want you to participate in a way that feels most meaningful to you and your family. Questions?
