Almighty God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ is the light of the world: Grant that your people,
illumined by your Word and Sacraments, may shine with the radiance of Christ's glory, that he may

you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
The First Lesson 1 Samuel 3:1-10
All are seated
Lector: A reading from the First Book of Samuel.
Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord under Eli. The word of the Lord was rare in those
days; visions were not widespread.
2
At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see, was lying down in
his room; the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord,
where the ark of God was. Then the Lord called, “Samuel! Samuel!” and he said, “Here I am!” and ran
to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call; lie down again.” So he went
and lay down. The Lord called again, “Samuel!” Samuel got up and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am,
for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call, my son; lie down again.” Now Samuel did not yet know
the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him. The Lord called Samuel again, a
third time. And he got up and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Then Eli perceived
that the Lord was calling the boy. Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down; and if he calls you, you
shall say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
Now the Lord came and stood there, calling as before, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel said, “Speak,
for your servant is listening.
Lector: The Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.
Psalm 139:1-5, 12-17 Domine, probasti Choir first, then all sing antiphon as indicated.
Antiphon
LORD, you have searched me out and known me; you know my sitting down and my rising up; you
discern my thoughts from afar.
You trace my journeys and my resting-places and are acquainted with all my ways.
Indeed, there is not a word on my lips, but you, O LORD, know it altogether.
You press upon me behind and before and lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is so high that I cannot attain to it.
For you yourself created my inmost parts; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I will thank
you because I am marvelously made; your works are wonderful, and I know it well.
My body was not hidden from you, while I was being made in secret
and woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes beheld my limbs, yet unfinished in the womb; all of
them were written in your book; they were fashioned day by day, when as yet there was none of
them.
How deep I find your thoughts, O God! how great is the sum of them!
If I were to count them, they would be more in number than the sand; to count them all, my life span
would need to be like yours. Antiphon
3
The Second Lesson 1 Corinthians 6:12-20
Lector: A reading from Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians.
“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will
not be dominated by anything. “Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food,” and God
will destroy both one and the other. The body is meant not for fornication but for the Lord, and the
Lord for the body. And God raised the Lord and will also raise us by his power. Do you not know that
your bodies are members of Christ? Should I therefore take the members of Christ and make them
members of a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that whoever is united to a prostitute becomes one
body with her? For it is said, “The two shall be one flesh.” But anyone united to the Lord becomes one
spirit with him. Shun fornication! Every sin that a person commits is outside the body; but the
fornicator sins against the body itself. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit
within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you were bought with a
price; therefore glorify God in your body.
Lector: The Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.
Hymn# 125 The people who in darkness walked have seen a great light Perry
The Gospel John 1:43-51
Celebrant: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.
People: Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” Now Philip was from
Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him
about whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth.”
Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and
see.” When Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, he said of him, “Here is truly an Israelite in whom
there is no deceit!” Nathanael asked him, “Where did you get to know me?” Jesus answered, “I saw
you under the fig tree before Philip called you.” Nathanael replied, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God!
You are the King of Israel!” Jesus answered, “Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under
the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.” And he said to him, “Very truly, I tell you, you will
see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”
Celebrant: The Gospel of the Lord.
People: Praise to you, Lord Christ.
The Sermon The Right Reverend David Jones
A brief period of silence is kept.

A period of silence follows. Then the Bishop says:
Almighty God, we thank you that by the death and resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ you have
overcome sin and brought us to yourself, and that by the sealing of your Holy Spirit you have bound
us to your service. Renew in these your servants the covenant you made with them at their Baptism. Send
them forth in the power of the Spirit to perform the service you set before them; through Jesus Christ
your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.

THE HOLY COMMUNION
Offertory Anthem Let this mind be in you Lee Hoiby
Presentation Hymn
The Great Thanksgiving (Eucharistic Prayer B) BCP p. 367
Then, facing the Holy Table, the Celebrant proceeds
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 the mystery of the Word made flesh, you have caused a new light to shine in our hearts, to
give the knowledge of your glory in the face of your son Jesus Christ our Lord.
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:
9
Celebrant and People
The people stand or kneel.
Then the Celebrant continues
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 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.
At the following words concerning the bread, the Celebrant is to hold it, or to lay a hand upon it; and at the
words concerning the cup, to hold or place a hand upon the cup and any other vessel containing wine to
be consecrated.
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;
10
The Celebrant continues
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 the Blessed
Virgin Mary, Saint George and 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.
The Lord’s Prayer BCP p.364
And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,
Celebrant and People: 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 The Celebrant breaks the consecrated Bread. A period of silence is kept. Then may be sung or said
The Bread and Wine are distributed to the communicants. Communion may be received either standing or kneeling. Gluten-free wafers
and chalice are available; please make your need known to the priest. If you do not wish to receive communion, please come
forward with arms crossed to receive a blessing. Intercessory prayer is offered during the administration of communion in the room to

and wine. May you carry the prayers of all of us.
Post-Communion Prayer BCP p.365
Eternal God, heavenly Father, you have graciously accepted us as living members of your Son our

Thank You from HOST (Helping Others Setting Tables)!
A heartfelt thank you to all who helped make our 2017 HOST Christmas Party a big success. We were very fortunate to have the
Arlingtones Barbershop Chorus sing Christmas carols this year, which brought so much joy to our homeless clients. We had plenty of
food, McDonald’s Gift Cards, and winter gear for all of the clients as well. We could not have done this without your generous
support. Thank you! ~Erin McCabe, coordinator.
Bible Breakfast. A small band of St. Georgians and friends meets for breakfast and informal Bible study each Tuesday morning
between 7-8 AM at the Ballston Deli, on Fairfax drive one block west of the church. We invite you to join us for conversation, coffee,
and usually (but not always) some Bible reading together. Drop-ins are welcome, and you can arrive late and leave early if your
schedule demands. There’s no homework. We just finished reading the additions to the book of Esther found in the Apocrypha and
after a December recess will be selecting new book of the Bible to read starting on January 9. Over the course of twenty plus years
(starting with a group of men who met before work near Farragut West), we’ve hopped and skipped through most of the Old and New
Testaments, some books taking months, others weeks. On the first Tuesday of each month we take a break to read from the Psalms.
Our “study” isn’t systematic. We read and reflect together and our discussion sometimes goes off on a tangent as we contemplate the
relevance of the Bible reading to our Christian lives in today’s society. Contact any of our current regulars for more information:
Norma Kacen, Mary Martha Churchman, Nina Janopaul and Bart Naylor, Mike Nelson, Wayne Lewis.
Shop Amazon Smile. St. George’s recently became enrolled as a charitable organization under the AmazonSmile Foundation. The
AmazonSmile Foundation donates .5% of eligible purchase to the Charitable organization the customer selects. You can help St.
George’s when you shop on Amazon by using AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com) instead of Amazon.com. The products and prices
are the same on both sites; however, by using AmazonSmile you are able to designate a charitable organization (St George’s,
Arlington) to receive to donation from your purchase.If you have questions, please contact me ([email protected] or 703-608-
7430 (cell)). Thank you all for your continued generosity and support of St. George’s Church with your time and many talents as well
as your treasure.

Saint George's community. More details on the retreat to come, but be sure and mark the date!! Elena Keydel, Shrine Mont Retreat
Chair, [email protected].
Do you want to help make our Shrine Mont retreat a success?
Want to help advertise for our Shrine Mont retreat? Or manage registration for the retreat? Help plan music, or activities for the
weekend? Rather then having 2 or 3 people in charge of the whole retreat, we're seeking "subchairs"-with specific and time limited
tasks-to help plan our Shrine Mont parish retreat. Many of these jobs are before the weekend (so you don't have to do anything the
weekend of the retreat!) Interested in helping? For details of the various subchair roles, see the Shrine Mont page on the website.
Questions? Speak to Elena Keydel, Shrine Mont Retreat Chair, [email protected].
