Announcements

Processional Christ for the World We Sing

Christ for the world we sing,

The world to Christ we bring, with loving zeal,

The poor and them that mourn, the faint and overborne,

Sin sick and sorrow worn, whom Christ doth heal.

Christ for the world we sing,

The world to Christ we bring, with fervent prayer;

The wayward and the lost, by restless passions tossed,

Redeemed at countless cost, from dark despair.

Christ for the world we sing,

The world to Christ we bring, with one accord;

With us the work to share, with us reproach to dare,

With us the cross to bear, for Christ our Lord.

Christ for the world we sing,

The world to Christ we bring, with joyful song;

The newborn souls, whose days, reclaimed from error’s ways,

Inspired with hope and praise, to Christ belong. Samuel Wolcott, 1869

Opening Acclamation

Celebrant. Blessed be God, the Father, the Son,

and the Holy Spirit..

People. And blessed be his kingdom, now and

forever. Amen.

Celebrant. The Lord be with you.

People. And with your spirit.

Celebrant. Let us pray.

The Collect for Purity

Praying together

ALMIGHTY God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and

from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by

the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you,

and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

The Summary of the Law

Jesus said: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.

The Gloria in Excelsis (Tune: Scottish Gloria)

Glory be to God on High And on earth peace – good will towards men. We praise thee, we bless thee, we worship thee. We glorify thee, we give thanks to thee For thy great glory. O Lord God, heavenly king, God the father almighty: O Lord, the only begotten son, Jesus Christ, O Lord God, lamb of God, son of the father: That takest away the sins of the world, Have mercy upon us. Thou that takest away the sins of the world, Receive our prayer. Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father Have mercy upon us. For thou, only, art holy. Thou, only, art the Lord. Thou only, O Christ, with the Holy Ghost, Art most high in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

The Collect for the Persecuted Church

Praying together

O LORD God, whose Son Jesus Christ suffered and died for us and

in His resurrection restores life and peace to all creation; O Lord

God, our Redeemer, Defender, Protector, and Avenger, we pray for

Your people who are victims of violence and hatred and are op-

pressed and injured by their fellow humans. Give strength and en-

couragement to them by Your Holy Spirit. Look upon them and help

us to honor those who are suffering or have died in Your ser-

vice. Comfort their families and give them courage. Thwart the op-

pressors and call them to repentance, but if they will not repent, we

commit them to Your justice. All this we pray through the same,

Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Collect for the Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost

.God, our refuge and strength, true source of all godliness: Gra-ciously hear the devout prayers of your Church, and grant that those things which we ask faithfully we may obtain effectually; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who sits at your right hand to inter-cede for us, and who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns in everlasting glory. Amen.

THE PSALM PSALM 23

The King of Love My Shepherd Is The King of love my Shepherd is, Whose goodness faileth never, I nothing lack if I am His And He is mine forever. Where streams of living water flow My ransomed soul He leadeth, And where the verdant pastures grow, With food celestial feedeth. In death's dark vale I fear no ill With Thee, dear Lord, beside me; Thy rod and staff my comfort still, Thy cross before to guide me. Thou spread'st a table in my sight; Thy unction grace bestoweth; And O what transport of delight From Thy pure chalice floweth! And so through all the length of days Thy goodness faileth never; Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise Within Thy house forever. Public Domain

PARISH LIFE

Diocesan Synod 2017 This year’s Diocesan Synod will be held at Trinity REC

in Mason, OH, a short drive from here. This gives our

parishioners an opportunity easily to attend. The

dates are Thursday and Friday, October 26 and 27.

Thursday begins at 8:00 a.m. with Holy Communion

and everything concludes on Friday at noon following the closing

Eucharist. If you are interested in attending, please see Fr. Isaac,

Dss Candy, Duane Veley, or Pat Prenger who are attending from

our parish. If you can spare the time, this is a wonderful way to get

to know other clergy and laity in our diocese and see how diocesan

affairs are conducted.

Also, on Thursday, there will be a special ladies’ luncheon featuring

Gale Hill, head of the REC Women of the Church. She will be pre-

senting new plans for a restructure of the WoC.

It’s That Time Again!

Once again, Hope4Riverside churches are

cooperating to collect hats, gloves, and mit-

tens for children in our community. Espe-

cially needed are sizes suitable for Kinder-

garten through Middle School. Please start bringing your contribu-

tions next week. We will be collecting for the next several weeks.

Last year we filled the “big brown bag” — this year let’s try to double

that! This is a great way to reach out with the love of God to our

neighbors and provide for their needs in a tangible way as well.

Thank you so much for your generosity!

All standing, the Deacon or Priest reads the Gospel, first saying

Priest. The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus

Christ according to St. Matthew, chap-

ter 21, beginning with the 33rd verse.

People. Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Priest. The Gospel of the Lord

People. Praise to you, Lord Christ.

The Children's Sermon

The Sermon

The Nicene Creed

Let us confess our faith in the words of the Nicene Creed:

CELEBRANT AND PEOPLE

WE believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of

heaven and earth, of all that is, visible and invisible.

WE believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eter-

nally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true

8

from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father;

through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation, he

came down from heaven and was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and

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 as-

cended 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 pro-

ceeds from the Father [and the Son], who with the Father and the

Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the

prophets.

WE believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowl-

edge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resur-

rection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

The filioque [and the Son] is not in the original Greek text. Nevertheless, in the

Western Church the filioque [and the Son] is customary at worship and is used for

the explication of doctrine [39 Articles of Religion]. The operative resolution of the

College of Bishops concerning use of the filioque is printed with the General In-

structions at the end of the Holy Communion, Long Form.

The Prayers of the People

LET us pray for the whole state of Christ’s Church and the world.

ALMIGHTY and ever-living God, in your holy Word you have taught

us to offer prayers and requests, and to give thanks for all whom

you have made. We appeal to your mercy, Gracious Lord, that you

might hear our prayer.

Reader. Lord, in your mercy,

People. hear our prayer.

GRANT these our prayers, O Father, for Jesus Christ’s sake, our

WE pray to you also for the forgiveness of our sins.

The Deacon and People kneel as able and pray

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.

The Bishop or Priest stands and says

ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father, who in his great mercy has

promised forgiveness of sins to all those who sincerely repent and

with true faith turn to him, have mercy upon you, †pardon and de-

liver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all good-

ness, and bring you to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our

Lord. Amen.

The Post Communion Prayer

Let us pray.

Celebrant and People praying together

HEAVENLY Father, we thank you for feeding us with the spiri-

tual food of the most precious Body and Blood of your Son

our Savior Jesus Christ; and for assuring us in these holy

mysteries that we are living members of the Body of your

Son, and heirs of your eternal kingdom. And now, Father,

send us out into the world to do the work you have given us 11

The Peace

Celebrant. The Peace of the Lord be always with you.

People. And with your spirit.

Then the Ministers and People may greet one another in the name

of the Lord.

Celebrant. Let us remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ

and how he said, it is more blessed to give than to receive.

The Offertory The People stand while the offerings are presented.

Presentation Hymn

Praise God from Whom all blessings flow,

Praise Him, all creatures here below!

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host,

Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Alleluia, alleluia! Alleluia, alleluia! Alleluia!

The Celebrant may pray the following prayer

YOURS, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and

the victory, and the majesty: for everything in heaven and on earth

is yours; yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as Head

above all.

Praying together

All things come from you, O Lord, and of your own have we given

you. Amen. (1 Chronicles 29:11, 14)

Then the Celebrant will say,

OUR fellow Christians of other branches of Christ’s Church, who

have been Baptized in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and

of the Holy Spirit, are affectionately invited to the Lord’s Table.

12

The Sursum Corda and Sanctus

People. And with your spirit.

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 just and right so to do.

IT is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to

give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Arch-

angels and with all the company of heaven, who forever sing this

hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:

AFTER supper, Jesus took the cup, and when he had given thanks,

he gave it to them, saying, “Drink this, all of you; for 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 in remembrance

of me.”

THEREFORE we proclaim the mystery of faith:

Celebrant and People praying together

Christ has died.

Christ is risen.

Christ will come again.

The Celebrant continues

LORD and heavenly Father, with these holy gifts we celebrate the

memorial instituted by your beloved Son, remembering his passion

and death, his resurrection and ascension, and his promise to come

again. Grant that by his merits and death, and through faith in his

Blood, we and your whole Church may receive forgiveness of our

sins and all other benefits of his passion, making us one body with

him that he may dwell in us, and we in him. And here we offer to

you, O Lord, our selves, our souls and bodies, to be a living sacri-

fice, through Jesus Christ our Lord. 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 forever. Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer The Celebrant then says

AND now as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to pray

17

Celebrant. Let us pray

Prayer of Consecration

ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father, in your tender mercy, you

gave your only Son Jesus Christ to suffer death upon the cross for

our redemption. He offered himself and made, once for all time, a

perfect and sufficient sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. He

instituted this remembrance of his passion and death, which he

commanded us to continue until he comes again. So now, Father,

we ask you to bless and sanctify, with your Word and Holy

Spirit, these gifts of bread and wine that we may partake of his

most blessed Body and Blood.

ON the night that he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus Christ took

bread; and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave it to

his disciples, saying, “Take, eat; this is my Body which is given for

you: Do this in remembrance of me.”

AFTER supper, Jesus took the cup, and when he had given thanks,

he gave it to them, saying, “Drink this, all of you; for 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 in re-

membrance of me.”

THEREFORE we proclaim the mystery of faith:

Celebrant and People praying together

Christ has died.

Christ is risen.

Christ will come again.

The Celebrant continues

LORD and heavenly Father, with these holy gifts we celebrate the

memorial instituted by your beloved Son, remembering his pas-

sion and death, his resurrection and ascension, and his promise to

come again. Grant that by his merits and death, and through faith

in his Blood, we and your whole Church may receive forgiveness

of our sins and all other benefits of his passion, making us one

14

body with him that he may dwell in us, and we in him. And here we

offer to you, O Lord, our selves, our souls and bodies, to be a living

sacrifice, through Jesus Christ our Lord. BY him and with him and in

him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honor and glory is yours, Al-

mighty Father, now and forever. Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer The Celebrant then says

AND now as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to pray

15

The Fraction (Breaking of the Bread)

Celebrant. Alleluia! Christ our Passover has

been sacrificed once for all upon the

cross.

The Prayer of Humble Access

WE do not presume to come to this your table, merciful Lord, trust-

ing in our own righteousness, but in your abundant and great mer-

cies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under

your table. But you are the same Lord, who always delights in

showing mercy. Grant us, therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the

flesh of your dear Son Jesus Christ and to drink his blood, that our

sinful bodies may be made clean by his body, and our souls

washed through his most precious blood, and that we may ever-

more dwell in him, and he in us. Amen.
