Tell Your Story to Trinity in 2071Deadline: Wed., 11/10; email bfolsom@trinitychurchboston.orgWhich pictures would you choose to tell the Trinity of 2071 the story of our life during 2020-2021? Our

Trinity and Diocesan archives reveal relatively little about the Great Flu Pandemic of 1918. We hope to do

better. So to help us stock a virtual time capsule, to be sealed by year end and opened in Advent 2071, please send us an image and a 100-word descriptive caption. COVID-19, our common worship life, our continuing national reckoning regarding racial equity, our daily lives and works are all facets of a story we hope to share with those who will be the church fifty years from now. We will share the 25 images during our evening Forum hour on Sun., Nov. 14 (6:30-7:30 pm, via Zoom).

Email a picture (or scan the QR code) of your “storied object” and a brief description of its significance to Beth Folsom, bfolsom@trinitychurchboston.org by this Wed., Nov. 10.

Sharing and Sustaining the Life of the World to Come

Annual Parish Photograph: Sun., 11/14, 10 am, Trinity ChurchGatherings: Sun. 11/14, 10 am & 12 pm, Trinity Church

We hope that you were able to join us for one of our outdoor neighborhood gatherings. We will host our final gathering at Trinity on Sunday, November 14 after both the 9 am and 11 am services with light refreshments and good cheer. And, at 10 am that day, we invite you to join what will become an Annual Parish Photograph! As we celebrate the parish-wide ingathering of 2022 Stewardship pledges, we invite you to make your commitment and join the photo on the West Porch steps.

Though we are all defining what the life of the world to come may be, we can almost be certain that we will all have to give something to live into it. All gifts, large and small, are needed to create and sustain the life we envision and to lovingly and faithfully respond to what is next.

Make your pledge now via a pledge card, the QR code above, or at trinitychurchboston.org/ 2022-annual-pledge

Thomas H. Kerr (1915-1988)

Hymn 287 ‘For all the saints’

Worship at Trinity

When the text of this worship booklet is in bold, it is spoken or sung by all.

4

Opening AcclamationBlessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.And blessed be God’s kingdom, now and for ever. Amen.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 Creator of all.

5

Collect of the DayThe Lord be with you. And also with you. Let us pray.Almighty God, you have knit together your elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of your Son Christ our Lord: Give us grace so to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those ineffable joys that you have prepared for those who truly love you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting.Amen.

Reading Revelation 21:1-6a

I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,

“See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them as their God; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.”

And the one who was seated on the throne said, “See, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Then he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.”

The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Psalm 24The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, * the world and all who dwell therein.For it is he who founded it upon the seas * and made it firm upon the rivers of the deep.“Who can ascend the hill of the Lord? “ * and who can stand in his holy place?”“Those who have clean hands and a pure heart, * who have not pledged themselves to falsehood, nor sworn by what is a fraud.They shall receive a blessing from the Lord * and a just reward from the God of their salvation.”Such is the generation of those who seek him, * of those who seek your face, O God of Jacob.Lift up your heads, O gates; lift them high, O everlasting doors; * and the King of glory shall come in.“Who is this King of glory?” * “The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle.”Lift up your heads, O gates; lift them high, O everlasting doors; * and the King of glory shall come in.“Who is he, this King of glory?” * “The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory.”

We will pray the psalm in unison.

Hymn 293 ‘I sing a song of the saints of God’ During this hymn, preschool and elementary aged children will meet members of our Children’s Ministries staff beneath the pulpit to travel to homily in the Forum. Our Director of Children’s Ministries, Cathy Portlock Pacitto, will then lead the children to the ventilated Clarendon vesti-bule for an age-appropriate homily. Cathy will then lead the children’s return to the sanctuary during The Peace.

Gospel John 11:32-44The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. Glory to you, Lord Christ.

When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” Jesus began to weep. So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?”Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it. Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead four days.” Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” So they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upward and said, “Father, I thank you for having heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me.” When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Christ.

A slight bow, with hands crossed over the chest, or joined in a prayerful “namaste-style,” are healthy, loving ways for one to pass the Peace in these times.

holy communionThe Offertory ‘Give us the wings of faith’

Derek Williams (b. 1945)

Give us the wings of faith to risewithin the veil, and seethe saints above, how great their joys,how bright their glories be.We ask them whence their victory came;they, with united breath,ascribe their conquest to the Lamb,their triumph to his death.They marked the footsteps that he trod,his zeal inspired their quest,and following their incarnate God,they reached the promised rest.Our glorious Leader claims our praisefor his own pattern given;while the long cloud of witnessesshow the same path to heaven.

Text: Isaac Watts (1674-1748)

PresentationAll things come of Thee, O Lord. And of Thine own have we given Thee.

The Great Thanksgiving The Lord 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.

It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth...

Sanctus S-130

12

We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made f lesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world.In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.

On the night before he died for us, 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, according to his command, O Father,

We remember his death,We proclaim his resurrection,We await his coming in glory;

And we offer our sacrif ice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine.

13

We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrif ice, that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctif ied by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with [ and] all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the f irstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation.

By Christ, and with Christ, and in Christ, in the unity of the HolySpirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now andfor ever.AMEN.And now, as our SaviorChrist has taught us,we are bold to say,

The Lord’s Prayer

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.

Breaking of the BreadAlleluia. Christ our Passover is sacrif iced for us;Therefore let us keep the feast. Alleluia.
