Welcome to Christ Church! We are delighted that you are

worshipping with us. All baptized persons of every denomination are

welcome to receive communion at our altar. Please introduce

yourself to one of our greeters. Please let an usher know if you are

unable to come to the railing for Communion and the clergy will

come to you.

Are you looking for a church home? You are welcome to fill out a

pew card and place it in the offering plate. On it you can indicate

that you would like the clergy to call on you.

We would love to meet with you at coffee hour after the 10:00 AM

service. We meet in the Deppich Room. Go through the Red Doors

in the right rear of the sanctuary, through the small lobby and turn

left at the first door.

Coffee Hour Donations. Summertime is here so we are asking for

volunteers to sign up to cover a Sunday coffee hour in July, August

and on September 1st. A sign up sheet is located on the table at the

water cooler. Suggested items include fruit, bagels, muffins, cookies,

donuts, pastries or baked goods. Lemonade and ice tea will be

provided by the Church. Any questions, please see Elizabeth

Rasnake.

Out of respect for neighbors wishing for quiet time to pray before

the liturgy begins, please use your “inside voice” in the nave.

The Altar Flowers are given today in loving memory of the deceased

members of the Robbins family, by Gerry Martz.

If you would like a loved one memorialized with Altar flowers,

please contact Janice Kordowski at 610-731-5252 for information.

As a reminder: If you get chilly in church this summer, please bring

a sweater or jacket. The air conditioning does not reach the

chancel, and the most heavily-dressed people are all up there!

Help Fill the Bus! Episcopal Community Services has asked parishes

around the diocese to participate in their “Fill the Bus” program, in

which children at ECS-sponsored summer camps are given new

backpacks filled with school supplies. The Outreach Committee here

at Christ Church is inviting you to take part, by dropping items into

the box at the coatrack at the top of the stairs nearest the kitchen.

Your participation will help ensure that children living in poverty

will be well-supplied for school in the fall, and that their teachers

will be relieved of the burden of supplying children with basic

necessities out of their own pockets. Items needed are number 2

pencils, washable colored markers (wide tip) and sets of 10 fine line

markers, glue sticks, safety scissors, pencil sharpeners, colored

pencils, blue and black pens, highlighters, pink erasers, 2-pocket

folders, pencil cases, protractors, 10-digit scientific calculators,

binders, composition notebooks, spiral notebooks, rulers, packs of

filler paper, both college-ruled and wide-ruled, packs of assorted

construction paper, packs of index cards, packs of 24 crayons, Lysol

wipes, and boxes of tissues. Gender-neutral plain new backpacks are

also gratefully accepted. We will gather whatever we receive and

deliver them to ECS to be distributed in early August to the

children. The deadline by which we must receive these items is July

14.

Contact Update- If you fall in the age range of 5-32(ish) years old

please take a moment to fill out the Youth and Young Adult contact

update form in the back of the sanctuary or find the link on CCRP’s

Facebook page. We are hoping to hear from young adults who grew

up in Christ Church but who have not been coming regularly, so

please take a form to pass on to adult children!

Weekly or Monthly offerings are simple with eGiving. Electronic

giving is a convenient, easy solution when you don’t have cash or a

checkbook. Visit our website (www.christchurchridleypark.org)

and sign-up under “Give”. For additional information or any

questions on how to enroll, please call the office at 610-521-1626.

Our ChildFund donations are way down, with fewer children

enrolled in Sunday School. We have an ongoing commitment to

Clara from Guatemala and Mac-Mac, from the Philippines, who are

only 9 and 10. If you wish to help the Sunday School with their

support of these two children, you can use the CHILDREN’S pew

envelope, or write a check to the church and put “ChildFund” in the

memo.

If you travel, your unused hotel toiletries (soap, shampoo, creams,

deodorant, toothbrush, dental floss, etc.) can be donated to the

homeless. There is a bin by the green doors for donations. We pack

them up every year on the MLK Volunteer Day to take to the

Salvation Army for distribution to their homeless clients.

The Lessons

FIRST READING: 2 Kings 2:1-2, 6:14

The people sit.

A Reading from the Second book of Kings.

1Now when the LORD was about to take Elijah up to heaven by a

whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. 2Elijah said

to Elisha, "Stay here; for the LORD has sent me as far as Bethel." But

Elisha said, "As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not

leave you." So they went down to Bethel. 6Then Elijah said to him, "Stay

here; for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan." But he said, "As the

LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you." So the two

of them went on.

Reader The Word of the Lord.

People Thanks be to God.

Silence may follow.

PSALM: Psalm 16

Remain seated.

1Protect me, O God, for I take refuge in you; *

I have said to the Lord, “You are my Lord,

my good above all other.”

2All my delight is upon the godly that are in the land, *

upon those who are noble among the people.

3But those who run after other gods *

shall have their troubles multiplied.

4Their libations of blood I will not offer, *

nor take the names of their gods upon my lips.

5O LORD, you are my portion and my cup; *

it is you who uphold my lot.

6My boundaries enclose a pleasant land; *

indeed, I have a goodly heritage.

7I will bless the LORD who gives me counsel; *

my heart teaches me, night after night.

8I have set the LORD always before me; *

because he is at my right hand, I shall not fall

. 9My heart, therefore, is glad, and my spirit rejoices; *

my body also shall rest in hope.

10For you will not abandon me to the grave, *

nor let your holy one see the Pit.

15

11You will show me the path of life; *

in your presence there is fullness of joy,

and in your right hand are pleasures for evermore.

SECOND READING: Galatians 5:1, 13-25

The people sit.

A Reading from Paul's letter to the Church in Galatia.

1For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not

submit again to a yoke of slavery.

13For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use

your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love

become slaves to one another. 14For the whole law is summed up in a

single commandment, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15If,

however, you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not

consumed by one another.

16Live by the Spirit, I say, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17For what the flesh desires is opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit

desires is opposed to the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to

prevent you from doing what you want. 18But if you are led by the Spirit,

you are not subject to the law. 19Now the works of the flesh are obvious:

fornication, impurity, licentiousness, 20idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife,

jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, 21envy, drunkenness,

carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you

before: those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,

kindness, generosity, faithfulness, 23gentleness, and self-control. There is

no law against such things. 24And those who belong to Christ Jesus have

crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25If we live by the Spirit,

let us also be guided by the Spirit.

16

Reader The Word of the Lord.

People Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL: Luke 9:51-62

All stand.

Celebrant The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ

according to Luke.

People Glory to you, Lord Christ.

51When the days drew near for [Jesus] to be taken up, he set his face to

go to Jerusalem. 52And he sent messengers ahead of him. On their way

they entered a village of the Samaritans to make ready for him; 53but they

did not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem. 54When

his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to

18

command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” 55But he

turned and rebuked them. 56Then they went on to another village.

57As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will

follow you wherever you go.” 58And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have

holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to

lay his head.” 59To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord,

first let me go and bury my father.” 60But Jesus said to him, “Let the dead

bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of

God.” 61Another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say

farewell to those at my home.” 62Jesus said to him, “No one who puts a

hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

Celebrant

The Gospel of the Lord.

People Praise to you, Lord Christ.

THE SERMON (BCP p. 358)

THE NICENE CREED (BCP p. 358)

We believe in one God,

the Father, the Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,

the only Son of God,

eternally begotten of the Father,

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God,

begotten, not made,

of one Being with the Father.

19

Through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation

he came down from heaven:

by the power of the Holy Spirit

he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,

and was made man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;

he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again

in accordance with the Scriptures;

he ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,

and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son.

With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.

He has spoken through the Prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come. Amen.

WORDS OF INSTITUTION (BCP p. 362)

The People stand or kneel.

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 flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to

27

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,

Celebrant and People

We remember his death,

We proclaim his resurrection,

We await his coming in glory;

The Celebrant continues

EPICLESIS (BCP p. 363)

And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of

all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine.

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 sacrifice, that we may be

acceptable through him, being sanctified 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 all your saints, we may enter the

everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our

Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author

of our salvation.

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

28

THE LORD’S PRAYER (BCP p. 363)

As our Savior Christ has taught us, we now pray,

People and Celebrant

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,

forever and ever. Amen.

...did you know?....

From The First Hundred Years, published Nov.

1979.

In June of 1885 a decision was made which had

great significance for subsequent rectors-to build

the church rectory on the church grounds. The

cost was to be limited to $4500; $3000 to be

raised by mortgage and the rest by subscription. It

is truly amazing that the parts of the rectory fit

together at all, as the method used to build it were

somewhat unique. A building committee was

formed which used no master contractor. Each

portion of the building was put up for contract,

and the lowest bid won. Even though the cost was

higher than has been expected, and the

subscriptions were not all met, so the mortgage

had to be increased to $3500. Finished in June,

1886, the rector and his family moved in August,

some say they wanted to be sure it would stand

up.
