Celebrant: Almighty Father, whose dear Son, on the night before he suffered, instituted the
Sacrament of his Body and Blood: Mercifully grant that we may receive it

THE FIRST READING Read by Paul Barkett. 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
Please be seated.
I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the
night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he
broke it and said, "This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
In the same way he took the cup also, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new
covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." For
as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until
he comes.
Reader: The Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.
HYMN 602 (stanzas 1 and 2) Jesu, Jesu, fill us with your love

Gospeller: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.
People: Glory to you, Lord Christ.
THE HOLY GOSPEL John 13:1-17, 31b-35
Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to
depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the
world, he loved them to the end. The devil had already put it into the heart of Judas
son of Simon Iscariot to betray him. And during supper Jesus, knowing that the
Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was
going to God, got up from the table, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around
himself. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and
to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him. He came to Simon Peter,
who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?" Jesus answered, "You do
not know now what I am doing, but later you will understand." Peter said to him,
"You will never wash my feet." Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no
share with me." Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only but also my hands
and my head!" Jesus said to him, "One who has bathed does not need to wash,
except for the feet, but is entirely clean. And you are clean, though not all of you."
For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said, "Not all of you are
clean." After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the
table, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? You call me
Teacher and Lord--and you are right, for that is what I am. So if I, your Lord and
Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I
have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you. Very truly,
I tell you, servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than
the one who sent them. If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.
Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in
him. If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will
glorify him at once. Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look
for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, `Where I am going, you
cannot come.' I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I
have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that
you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
Gospeller: The Gospel of the Lord.
People: Praise to you, Lord Christ.
HYMN 602 (stanzas 3 and 4) Jesu, Jesu, fill us with your love

THE HOLY COMMUNION
OFFERTORY ANTHEM:
Thee we adore T. Frederick H. Candlyn
(1892-1964)
The St. John’s Choir
Thee we adore, O hidden Saviour, thee, who in thy sacrament art pleased to be;
both flesh and spirit in thy presence fail, yet here thy presence we devoutly hail.
O blest memorial of our dying Lord, who living bread to all doth here afford! O
may our souls for ever feed on thee; and thou, O Christ, forever precious be.
Fountain of goodness, Jesu, Lord and God, cleanse us, unclean, in thy most
cleansing blood; increase our faith and love that we may know the hope and peace
which from thy presence flow.
O Christ, whom now beneath a veil we see, may what we thirst for soon our portion
be; to gaze on thee unveiled and see thy face, the vision of thy glory and thy grace.
-St. Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225-1274)

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.
Celebrant: It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to
you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord: For our sins he was lifted high upon the cross, that
he might draw the whole world to himself; and, by his suffering and death, he
became the source of eternal salvation for all who put their trust in him.
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:
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY LORD: S-124 David Hurd

Please kneel.
Celebrant: On the night Jesus was betrayed, he took bread, said the blessing, broke the bread,
and gave it to his friends, and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for
you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”
After supper, Jesus took the cup of wine; gave thanks, 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.”
And so, merciful God, we bring you these gifts. Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit
to be for your people the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Gracious God, gather us by this Holy Communion into one body in your Christ.
Make us a living sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving.
People: AMEN.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Celebrant: 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

MUSIC AT THE COMMUNION
Anthem: Tantum ergo Déodat de Séverac
(1872-1921)
The St. John’s Choir
Tantum ergo sacramentum veneremur cernui, et antiquum do cumentum novo cedat
retui praestet fides supplementum sensuum defectui.
Genitori genitoque laus et jubilatio, salus honor virtus quoque sit et benedictio.
Procedenti ab utroque compar sit laudatio. Amen.
Therefore so great a Sacrament let us fall down and worship, And let the old law
give way to a new rite, and let faith stand forward to make good the defects of
sense.
To the Father and the Son be praise and joy, health, honor and virtue and blessing,
and to him proceeding from both be equal praise. Amen.
-St. Thomas Aquinas
All are welcome to receive Holy Communion with us. Our tradition is to receive
both bread and wine, sharing in the common cup. Please assist the chalice bearer by
guiding the cup to your lips. You may also intinct by dipping the wafer into the
chalice. You may wish to receive the bread only. Receiving the bread only is a valid
and acceptable way to share in Holy Communion. After consuming the wafer,
simply cross your arms over your chest to indicate that you do not wish to receive
the wine. Gluten-free wafers are available on request from the communion minister.
If you are feeling sick, please refrain from receiving the wine and be mindful of those near
you when passing the peace or shaking hands as you enter and exit the church.

Almighty and everliving God, we thank you for feeding us with the spiritual
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 to do the work you have given us to do, to love and serve you as faithful
witnesses of Christ our Lord. To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit, be honor
and glory, now and for ever. Amen.
THE BLESSING
Celebrant: Merciful Lord, grant to your faithful people pardon and peace, that we may be
cleansed from all our sins and serve you with a quiet mind, and the blessing of God
Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be upon you and remain with
you for ever.

A WORD ABOUT EASTER DAY AT ST. JOHN’S
Celebrating the Resurrection at St. John’s Church is incredibly moving, but getting a seat at the
services requires an early arrival. In recent years we have had to turn members away from the 9:00

no later than 8:45 a.m. for the 9:00 a.m. service and no later than 10:45 a.m. for the 11:00 a.m.
service. Valet parking will be available from 8:15 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

Welcome!
AT ST. JOHN’S CHURCH, we believe Christ is calling us to be a renewed church in a changing world.
Empowered by the Spirit of God, we respond to Jesus’ call as we deepen our bond with Christ through
worship, become a community where all are accepted, and work together as laity and clergy to do God’s
work in the world.
ST JOHN’S WAS ORGANIZED IN 1815 to serve as a parish church for Episcopalians residing in the
neighborhoods in the west end of the District of Columbia. Its cornerstone was laid on September 14, 1815,
and it was consecrated on December 27, 1816. Beginning with James Madison, every person who has held
the office of President of the United States has attended a service at the church. Several Presidents have
been communicants. Thus, St. John’s is often referred to as the “Church of the Presidents.” Pew 54 is the
President’s Pew. The architect of the church was Benjamin Henry Latrobe, who assisted in the rebuilding
of the U.S. Capitol and the White House after the War of 1812. Twenty-five of the stained glass windows
in St. John’s were designed and executed by artisans of the noted Lorin firm of Chartres, France.
BROCHURES DESCRIBING PARISH LIFE, the history of St. John’s, and the Episcopal denomination can be
found in the church entrance. If you are visiting, please fill out the visitor information card found at the
end of each pew to enable us to welcome you personally into the life of our parish.
ST JOHN’S WEBSITE WWW.STJOHNS-DC.ORG has up-to-date information about the Church including the
weekly calendar, the Sunday service schedule, Adult Forum speakers and topics, the music calendar and
newsworthy events.
